Abstract
It is provided a method, comprising monitoring if an information on a limitation of a network bandwidth part is received from a cell; basing a decision on the information on the limitation and a capability of a terminal to support a terminal bandwidth part if the information on the limitation is received, wherein the decision is about at least one of whether or not the terminal camps on the cell and whether or not the terminal reselects the cell; instructing the terminal on the at least one of the camping on the cell and the reselecting the cell based on the decision.
Claims22
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one processor, with the at least one memory and the computer program code, being configured to cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive, from a base station, information on a limitation of one or more bandwidth parts supported in a cell of the base station, wherein the one or more bandwidth parts are one or more early data transmission bandwidth parts;
- select an access parameter based on the information on the limitation of the one or more bandwidth parts supported in the cell and a limitation of one or more other bandwidth parts supported by the apparatus;
- instruct the apparatus to reselect the cell or to camp on the cell using the selected access parameter;
- and
- inhibit access to the cell based on the limitation of the one or more bandwidth parts supported in the cell and the limitation of the one or more other bandwidth parts supported by the apparatus.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one processor being configured to, with the at least one memory and the computer program code, cause the apparatus to:
- instruct a base station to provide information on a limitation of one or more bandwidth parts provided by the base station, wherein the one or more bandwidth parts are one or more early data transmission bandwidth parts;
- cause selection of an access parameter based on the information on the limitation of the one or more bandwidth parts supported in the cell and a limitation of one or more other bandwidth parts supported by a terminal;
- and
- cause the terminal to reselect the cell or to camp on the cell using the selected access parameter.
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, information on a limitation of one or more bandwidth parts supported in a cell of the base station, wherein the one or more bandwidth parts supported in the cell of the base station are one or more early data transmission bandwidth parts;
- selecting an access parameter based on the information on the limitation of the one or more bandwidth parts supported in the cell and a limitation of one or more other bandwidth parts supported by a terminal;
- instructing the terminal to reselect the cell or to camp on the cell using the selected access parameter;
- and
- inhibiting the terminal from accessing the cell based on the limitation of the one or more bandwidth parts supported in the cell and the limitation of one or more other bandwidth parts supported by the terminal.
A method comprising:
- instructing a base station to provide information on a limitation of one or more bandwidth parts supported in a cell of the base station, wherein the one or more bandwidth parts are one or more early data transmission bandwidth parts;
- causing selection of an access parameter based on the information on the limitation of the one or more bandwidth parts supported in the cell and a limitation of one or more other bandwidth parts supported by a terminal;
- and
- causing the terminal to reselect the cell or to camp on the cell using the selected access parameter.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, are configured to cause a computing system to perform at least:
- receiving, from a base station, information on a limitation of one or more bandwidth parts supported in a cell of the base station, wherein the one or more bandwidth parts supported in the cell of the base station are one or more early data transmission bandwidth parts;
- selecting an access parameter based on the information on the limitation of the one or more bandwidth parts supported in the cell and a limitation of one or more other bandwidth parts supported by a terminal;
- instructing the terminal to reselect the cell or to camp on the cell using the selected access parameter;
- and
- inhibiting the terminal from accessing the cell based on the limitation of the one or more bandwidth parts supported in the cell and the limitation of one or more other bandwidth parts supported by the terminal.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, are configured to cause a computing system to perform at least:
- instructing a base station to provide information on a limitation of one or more bandwidth parts supported in a cell of the base station, wherein the one or more bandwidth parts are one or more early data transmission bandwidth parts;
- causing selection of an access parameter based on the information on the limitation of the one or more bandwidth parts supported in the cell and a limitation of one or more other bandwidth parts supported by a terminal;
- and
- causing the terminal to reselect the cell or to camp on the cell using the selected access parameter.
