According to some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for transmitting on a plurality of antennas comprises signaling, to a network node, a wireless device power transmission capability. The wireless device power transmission capability identifies a power ratio value of a plurality of power ratio values that the wireless device supports for transmission of a physical uplink channel. Each value of the plurality of power ratio values corresponds to a transmission power capability and to a number of antenna ports. A power ratio refers to a ratio relative to a maximum power the wireless device is rated to transmit. The method further comprises transmitting a physical uplink channel using the 0 number of antenna ports with a power scaled at least by the power ratio value.

INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS ALLOCATION FOR INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL NODES
Methods, donor DU nodes and donor CU nodes, and computer programs are provided for allocating internet protocol, IP, addresses. A request is received at a donor DU node to allocate an IP address for a wireless node. The IP address is allocated for the wireless node by the donor DU node and the IP address is transmitted towards the wireless node. The donor CU node receives a message from a wireless node requesting an IP address. Responsive to receiving the message from the wireless node requesting an IP address, the donor CU node transmits an allocation message to a donor DU node to request IP address allocation for the wireless node.
Embodiments includes methods for a centralized unit (CU) in an integrated access backhaul (IAB) network. Such methods include determining a first identifier of a first backhaul radio link control (BH RLC) channel between first and second nodes in the IAB network. The second node is a child node of the first node. Such methods include sending, to the second node, a second request to setup a second BH RLC channel between the second node and a third node in the IAB network. The third node is a child node of the second node, and the second request includes the first identifier for association with the second BH RLC channel. In some embodiments, at least one data radio bearer between a user equipment (UE) and the CU is associated with both the first and second BH RLC channels. Other embodiments include complementary methods for an intermediate node in the IAB network.

H04W 76/11 - Allocation or use of connection identifiers
A method and network node for flexible indication of resources in LTE-M using bitmaps are disclosed. According to one aspect, a method includes indicating to the wireless device a set of reserved resources for machine communications in compatibility with a broadband radio access technology sharing resources in a time frame and frequency band that encompasses the set of reserved resources, the indicating using a two level bitmap operating in the time-domain, a first bitmap level of the two level bitmap indicating a first set of subframes containing reserved resources, and a second bitmap level of the two level bitmap indicating reserved symbols within an indicated subframe.
The present disclosure provides a method (100) in a terminal device. The method (100) includes: determining (110) whether each of a plurality of Logical Channels, LCHs, to be transmitted over a sidelink is in a starved state; and selecting (120) at least one of destinations associated with the plurality of LCHs based on whether at least one of the plurality of LCHs is determined to be in the starved state.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide method and apparatus for session management. A method at a control plane function comprises generating an information element to indicate a number of reports that the user plane function can send a usage report to the control plane function. The method further comprises sending the information element to the user plane function.
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for random access. The method which may be performed by a terminal device comprises performing a first transmission of a message from the terminal device to a network node in a random access procedure, according to first configuration information. The first transmission of the message comprises a transmission of a first preamble and a transmission of a payload on a shared channel. The method further comprises performing a second transmission of the message from the terminal device to the network node in the random access procedure, according to second configuration information. The second transmission of the message comprises at least one of: a transmission of a second preamble and a retransmission of the payload on the shared channel.
