Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for identification, on a per-PLMN basis of a type of core network associated with each PLMN in a list of networks associated with a base station. A user equipment (UE) may receive the list of networks and, based at least in part on the type(s) of core network accessible via each PLMN and a capability of the UE, initiate a connection establishment with a PLMN and associated core network. In some cases, UEs that are not capable of connections with a first type of core network (e.g., a 5G core network) may be restricted from camping on a cell or PLMN that may provide only connections with the first type of core network (e.g., a 4G core network).
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configurations that enable uplink transmissions during different transmission time intervals (TTIs) may be used. For example, a base station may configure SPS for a set of TTIs, where the configuration may include a periodicity between shortened TTIs (sTTIs) (e.g., two-symbol, three-symbol, seven-symbol TTIs, etc.) that may be used by a user equipment (UE) for uplink transmissions. The base station may signal the SPS configuration to the UE, and the UE may then identify locations of TTIs for use in SPS transmissions. For instance, the UE may identify the location of a set of sTTIs that are designated for SPS and that occur at a certain periodicity indicated by the configuration. Upon identifying the TTI locations, the UE may transmit uplink data during one or more of the identified TTIs in accordance with the periodicity.
Abstract:
A base station may transmit a grant to user equipment (UEs), indicating uplink resources for transmission of pending data at a UE. Uplink resources may include uplink resources associated with transmission time intervals (TTIs) and/or shortened TTIs (sTTIs). A UE may identify pending data associated with a data type (e.g., low latency data, internet traffic, etc.) and transmit a scheduling request (SR) for a grant of uplink resources. The data type of the pending data (e.g., the logic channel group identification (LCG ID) associated with a buffer status) may be indicated such that uplink resources may be granted to the UE to reduce latency. In some aspects, the SR may indicate uplink resources associated with sTTIs. Further, the UE may prioritize pending data and buffer status reports (BSRs) associated with other data within the received grant.
Abstract:
The subject technology provides for initiating a communication interface in a wireless communication system. In an embodiment, a neighbor node is discovered at an access point. The subject technology receives, via a network message in response to discovering the neighbor node, an address indication associated with the neighbor node for configuration of the communication interface. It is then determined whether to initiate one of a direct communication interface or indirect communication interface for communication with the neighbor node based on the address indication in the received network message.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to joint support for UEs capable of communicating data of a same bearer on first and second RATs simultaneously and UEs not capable of communicating data of a same bearer on the first and second RATs simultaneously. An eNB of a first RAT may configure radio bearers of different types for communication with a UE scapable of communicating via a first RAT and a second RAT. The eNB may select one or more of the radio bearers for routing packets to the UE via at least one of the first or second RAT, wherein the selecting is based at least in part on whether the UE is capable of communicating data of a same bearer on the first and second RATs simultaneously. The eNB may communicate with the UE using the selected radio bearers.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for improving communications between a user equipment (UE) and a base station in a shared radio frequency spectrum while the UE is operating in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. In particular, the UE may be configured to adapt operation in a DRX mode based on whether a base station has access to a shared radio frequency spectrum. For example, the UE may adjust a length of an on-duration for monitoring for a data transmission from the base station, adjust a periodicity for monitoring for control information from the base station, determine whether to keep monitoring for wake-up signaling from the base station, etc. based on whether the base station has access to the shared radio frequency spectrum. Further techniques for improving operation in a DRX mode are also described.
Abstract:
A UE may identify, during a first DRX ON period immediately preceding an existing DRX OFF period, that a first condition is met. The UE may transmit, to a network node, and the network node may receive, from the UE, a request to extend the first DRX ON period based on the first condition being met. The network node may transmit, to the UE, and the UE may receive, from the network node, an indication of approval of the request to extend the first DRX ON period. The UE and the network node may delay a beginning of the existing DRX OFF period by a first time period based on the approval of the request to extend the first DRX ON period.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that enhanced system information delivery schemes. In a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE), access system information (SI) from a network device; transmitting, by the UE, a service SI request based on the received access SI, the service SI request indicating a request for particular service SI data; and receiving, by the UE, the particular service SI data, the particular service SI data including one or more SI blocks (SIBs), scheduling information for the one or more SIBs, or both. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for uplink switching for enhanced mobility. In some aspects, this disclosure provides techniques for potentially reducing or eliminating service interruptions experienced during a handover from a source cell to a target cell. Additionally, this disclosure provides techniques for potentially simplifying or improving uplink communications while a UE is connected to both the source cell and the target cell during the handover. This disclosure further provides techniques for potentially reducing UE power consumption or improving uplink resource utilization during a handover from a source cell to a target cell while a UE is connected to both the source cell and the target cell during the handover.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may determine to transmit a pre-allocated uplink (UL) grant to a user equipment (UE), wherein the pre-allocated UL grant includes: a secondary node (SN) transmission configuration indicator (TCI) list, and a type 1 configured grant (CG). The base station may transmit, to the UE, the pre-allocated UL grant based at least in part on determining to transmit the pre-allocated UL grant. Numerous other aspects are provided.
