    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Double remapping of Quality of Service (QoS) flows between radio bearers may be avoided through disclosed techniques, aspects of which may include determining a release procedure for a QoS flow from a first radio bearer, such as whether or not the release procedure is or is part of a remapping procedure, based on configuration information for a second radio bearer, such as whether the QoS flow is added to any radio bearer other than the first radio bearer.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for operating procedures associated with packet duplication. A packet data protocol convergence protocol (PDCP) entity of a transmitting device may duplicate a received packet to form a set of copied packets. Each packet in the set of copied packets may include the information of the received packet. Each packet of the set of copied packets may be transmitted using a different radio link control (RLC) entity. Procedures are described for configuring duplication bearers. Procedures are described for activating or deactivating packet duplication. Procedures are described for handling RLC entities at deactivation. Procedures are described for discarding some duplicate packets after a packet has been successfully decoded by a receiving device. Procedures are described for delaying transmission of duplicate packets to improve efficient use of communication resources. Procedures are described for buffer status report (BSR) reporting for duplication bearers.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a processor-readable storage medium for wireless communication are provided. A transmitter transmits data packets to a receiver, encodes the data packets to generate parity packets, stores the parity packets in a retransmission buffer, receives information from the receiver indicating that a data packet was not correctly decoded, and transmits to the receiver the parity packets stored in the retransmission buffer for recovering the data packet not correctly decoded without retransmitting the data packet not correctly decoded. The transmitter may further retransmit to the receiver the parity packets. The transmitted data packets may be encoded at a medium access control (MAC) layer of the transmitter. The retransmission buffer may be located at a radio link control (RLC) layer or a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer of the transmitter. A reordering buffer at the receiver may be located at the RLC layer or PDCP layer.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing transport block boundary flexibility are disclosed. In some aspects, a transmitter determines a plurality of blocks within a single transmission time interval (TTI), and transmits the plurality of blocks within the single TTI. Each of the plurality of blocks spans over a pre-defined period of time that is shorter than the single TTI. Each of the plurality of blocks includes data having a same logic channel identifier and a same header. A leading boundary and a trailing boundary of each of the plurality of blocks are aligned with one of: a leading boundary and a trailing boundary of a symbol; or a leading boundary and a trailing boundary of a code block. In additional aspects, a receiver receives these plurality of blocks within a single transmission time interval (TTI), and decodes a plurality of protocol data units in the plurality of blocks.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to operate in dual connectivity (DC) and with split radio bearers, such that one or more split radio bearers are associated with a first cell group and one or more split radio bearers are associated with a second cell group. In some cases, a cell group failure may occur. Accordingly, the UE may autonomously update one or more radio bearer configurations of the split radio bearers to determine a processing scheme for the cell group failure. Additionally or alternatively, as a result of the cell group failure, an amount of unacknowledged data in a radio link control (RLC) buffer for the second cell group may get stuck such that the network cannot access it. Accordingly, the UE may perform a PDCP data recovery (e.g., user plane handling) to access the unacknowledged data.

    Abstract: A wireless device may receive a radio link control (RLC) protocol data unit (PDU) from a lower layer (e.g., from a media access control (MAC) layer) when processing communications (e.g., packets) received from another wireless device. The receiving wireless device may identify that the PDU is an RLC service data unit (SDU) segment based at least in part on an indication corresponding to a sequence number associated with the RLC SDU segment. The receiving wireless device may then determine that the RLC SDU segment is received out of order based on previously received PDUs or previously received RLC SDU segments, and initiate a reassembly timer based on the out of order determination for the RLC SDUs. If the remaining RLC SDU segments (e.g., that complete the RLC SDU) are received before reassembly timer expires, the wireless device may reassemble the RLC SDU to be passed to a higher layer.
