Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems, devices and methods for system information acquisition in radio resource connection (RRC) connection reestablishment when Radio Link Failure (RLF) happens. Various embodiments may include a serving cell that provides system information of a neighbor cell to a user equipment (UE). When the UE detects an RLF event, the UE may determine whether the previously received system information is valid and proceed with RRC connection reestablishment based on the determination. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments of a base station and method for early handover using uplink channel characteristics in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a method for handover determination is performed by an enhanced node B (eNB) operating as a serving cell base station. In these embodiments, a handover decision is based on a signal level of uplink transmissions of user equipment (UE) measured at a target cell base station in addition to signal levels of downlink signals of the target cell base station and downlink signals of a serving cell base station measured at the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for mobility state estimation in a heterogeneous network are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) includes circuitry to perform a mobility state estimation (MSE) operation to determine an MSE state for the UE, and a receiver to receive, from a cell in a heterogeneous third generation partnership project (3GPP) network, mobility state information corresponding to movement of the UE within the heterogeneous 3GPP network. The circuitry is configured to update the MSE state based on the mobility state information received from the cell. The UE may also include a transmitter to communicate the updated MSE state to the cell.

Abstract: Technology described herein provides carrier-monitoring (CM) signaling approaches that can be used by networks and/or mobile devices. An evolved Node B (eNB) can send an IncMon-support message indicating whether a network supports the increased-number-of-frequencies-to-monitor (IncMon) feature. A UE can apply a default CM configuration if the UE does not receive an IncMon-support message from the eNB. The eNB can use dedicated signaling or broadcast signaling to inform a UE of a default CM configuration or one or more adopted CM configurations that are used in the network. The eNB can also send a list of carriers that are to be monitored to the UE. The UE can also send UE-capability information to the eNB, such as a default CM configuration, an adopted CM configuration, or configurable configurations in different radio access technologies (RATs) supported by the UE.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an apparatus to be employed in a user equipment (UE) is described. The apparatus includes configuration circuitry operable to determine, based on one or more configuration information messages, a measurement gap for a master evolved Node B (MeNB) that is operable to provide a master cell group (MCG) that is asynchronous with a secondary cell group (SCG) of a secondary evolved Node B (SeNB), wherein subframe boundaries of the MCG are different from subframe boundaries of the SCG; and radio frequency (RF) control circuitry operable to cause RF circuitry to be tuned, at a beginning of the measurement gap based on a subframe boundary of the MCG, to start inter-frequency measurements, wherein the RF circuitry is to be used to transmit or receive data in a serving cell of the MCG and in a serving cell of the SCG. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) arranged for handover initiation in a cellular network comprising macro cells and micro cells are disclosed herein. The UE may determine application information associated with an application operating on the UE. The application information can include an operating system identifier. Additionally, the UE can generate a measurement report based on the determined application information. The measurement report can include the application information. Subsequently, the UE can send the measurement report configured to initiate a handover to an Evolved Node B (eNB). The handover can be to a micro cell or a macro cell based on the application information in the measurement report.

Abstract: Technology for providing core network assistance information from a mobility management entity (MME) in an evolved packet core (EPC) is disclosed. An average radio resource control (RRC) connected state time for a UE is determined. An average RRC idle state time for the UE is also determined. An amount of time that the UE spends in cells of the EPC is identified to determine a number of handover procedures between cells in a selected time period. The core network assistance information communicated to a serving eNB of the UE to enable the serving eNB to reduce UE state transitions for the UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods for signaling in an increased carrier monitoring wireless communication environment are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) may include control circuitry to configure the UE for increased carrier monitoring; determine, based on a first signal received from a network apparatus, whether a reduced performance group carrier is configured; determine, based on a second signal received from the network apparatus, whether a scaling factor is configured; and in response to a determination that no reduced performance group carrier is configured and a determination that no scaling factor is configured, allow the UE to monitor fewer carriers than required by increased carrier monitoring. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
