Abstract
A disclosed example method involves, when a device is operating in a stationary mode and before a need of the device to communicate data, determining whether a stored timing advance is valid. When the stored timing advance is not valid, a valid timing advance is determined before the need of the device to communicate the data.

19. A method comprising:
-
transmitting, from a network to a device, an indication indicating that the network permits devices to operate in a stationary mode; and in response to transmitting the indication; receiving, from the device, a capability indicator indicating that the device is capable of operating in the stationary mode; and receiving, from the device, a normal burst over a contention-based random access channel (RACH), wherein the normal burst is transmitted by the device using a timing advanced value stored at the device. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A network node, comprising:
-
a memory; and at least one hardware processor communicatively coupled with the memory and configured to; transmit, from the network node to a device, an indication indicating that the network node permits devices to operate in a stationary mode; and in response to transmitting the indication; receive, from the device, a capability indicator indicating that the device is capable of operating in the stationary mode; and receive, from the device, a normal burst over a contention-based random access channel (RACH), wherein the normal burst is transmitted by the device using a timing advanced value stored at the device. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)

33. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions which, when executed, cause a network node to perform operations comprising:
-
transmitting, from the network node to a device, an indication indicating that the network node permits devices to operate in a stationary mode; and in response to transmitting the indication; receiving, from the device, a capability indicator indicating that the device is capable of operating in the stationary mode; and receiving, from the device, a normal burst over a contention-based random access channel (RACH), wherein the normal burst is transmitted by the device using a timing advanced value stored at the device. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
