Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to support of timeout-based out-of-order (OOO) frame delivery. In an example method, a device collects recovery time intervals of missing and erroneous frames over time; calculates a distribution of the recovery time intervals of the missing and erroneous frames; and obtains mapping of queues capable of OOO frame delivery by assigning at least one timeout value to at least one queue capable of OOO frame delivery based on the distribution of the recovery time intervals and a number of the at least one queue.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for MAC CE security protection. In a solution, an apparatus transmits, to a further apparatus, a MAC message including at least one MAC PDU. A MAC PDU of the at least one MAC PDU indicates a security type and a message authentication code. The security type indicates a coding metric for generating the message authentication code. The message authentication code is generated according to the coding metric and based on at least one of: a first key associated with the apparatus or the further apparatus, a second key associated with a radio resource control, RRC, layer, or information associated with the apparatus or the further apparatus.

An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for switching from a Basic Service Set (BSS) primary channel to a Non-Primary Channel Access (NPCA) primary channel for communicating with an Access Point (AP); and in response to at least one condition for switching back to the BSS primary channel being satisfied, switching from the NPCA primary channel to the BSS primary channel for communicating with the AP. Additionally, an apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for switching from a BSS primary channel to an NPCA primary channel, the NPCA primary channel associated with a mode of operation in which untriggered uplink (UL) transmission is not enabled; and receiving, from the AP via the NPCA primary channel, an initial control frame (ICF) comprising a field indicating an NPCA duration that defines a minimum duration until switching from the NPCA primary channel to the BSS primary channel must occur.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for MAC CE security protection. In a solution, an apparatus receives or transmits a MAC message including at least one MAC PDU. A MAC PDU of the at least one MAC PDU at least includes: a MAC CE, SDU, and protection related information of the MAC message. The MAC CE SDU includes a payload part, and at least the MAC CE SDU and the protection related information are integrity protected.

According to an aspect, a first apparatus comprising at least one processor and one or more memories, may receive, from a second apparatus, an uplink wake-up signal (UL-WUS) configuration for at least one cell, wherein the UL-WUS configuration is related to a request for system information block #1 (SIB1) of the at least one cell. The first apparatus may further receive, from the second apparatus, an indication related to storage of the UL-WUS configuration and store the UL-WUS configuration in the first apparatus based on the received indication. The first apparatus may even further determine to perform cell reselection and in response to the determining to perform the cell reselection, transmit an on-demand SIB1 (OD-SIB1) request based on the stored UL-WUS configuration.

In some example, a user equipment comprises at least one processor, and at least one memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the user equipment at least to receive, from a serving cell, a request to report the entirety of a message from a neighbour cell, obtain the message from the neighbour cell, and report the entirety of the message to the serving cell.

In some examples, an apparatus for user equipment comprises at least one processor, and at least one memory comprising instructions configured for influencing data collection configurations in a wireless communication network which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to establish a connection towards a network node of a radio access network, receive, from the network node, information related to data collection configuration parameters supported by the network node, and transmit, to a server for collecting training data, at least part of the received information to enable the server to request at least one data collection configuration for the UE and adapted to the network node configuration capabilities.

In some example, a user equipment comprises at least one processor, and at least one memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the user equipment at least to receive, from a serving cell, a request to report a message from a neighbour cell, wherein the request indicates that any portion of the message that the UE is able to decode is to be reported in a decoded format, and any portion that the UE is not able to decode is to be reported in an undecoded format, obtain the message from the neighbour cell, and report the message to the serving cell such that at least one portion is forwarded in a decoded format and at least one portion is forwarded in an undecoded format.

Examples of the disclosure relate to phase discontinuity predictions. A UE can indicate to a network node a capability of the UE for phase discontinuity prediction and receive, from the network node, a configuration for phase discontinuity prediction outcome reporting. The configuration can comprise at least a reporting indication method and one or more reporting conditions. The reporting indication method comprises an indication of a clear time duration for which phase discontinuity satisfies a reporting condition The UE can perform the phase discontinuity prediction and determine whether to report an outcome of the phase discontinuity prediction based on the received configuration.

Examples of the disclosure relate to phase discontinuity predictions. A UE indicates to a network node a capability of the UE for phase discontinuity prediction and receiving, from the network node, a configuration for phase discontinuity prediction outcome reporting. The configuration comprises at least a reporting indication method and one or more reporting conditions. The reporting indication method comprises a bit indicating whether a reporting condition is satisfied. The UE also performs phase discontinuity prediction and determines whether to report an outcome of the phase discontinuity prediction based on the received configuration.
