If there is no such a URLLC-demanding UE present in the local service area, cell configuration over the local service area may follow the approach provisioned and used to support MBB and non-URLLC MTC services as in current LTE networks for example.

If there is such a URLLC demanding UE in the local service area then the following possibilities may be considered.

• • If the UE has sufficient enough battery power and the local serving cells are busy enough in serving other users, the UE may be configured to stay in some active mode or state even if the UE is not actually having or conducting URLLC
  • If the UE has insufficient remaining battery power and/or the local serving cells are less occupied then the UE may be allowed to go into an inactive mode or state while the local serving cells, forming a UE centric cell cluster, are coordinated so as to provide the UE with suitable HAP (increased frequency of available access occasions—including BCH/PCH/RACH related occasions—as aggregated over the cell cluster, instead of per individual cell as in prior solutions).

HAP, as provided by a subset of local cells within the cell cluster, may be characterized by some preconfigured pattern of collective or aggregated resource allocation of at least common cell-specific reference signals and control channels (such like SS, BCH, PCH and RACH) across the individual cells of the subset which are made available to serve a UE (recognizable by UE).
