Abstract:
A cellular communications system in which transmission of control signals for plural different remote stations is so displaced in time that the transmission of control signals for one remote station does not interfere with the transmission of control signals for another remote station, the displacement being sufficient to prevent contemporaneous reception of control signals by the remote station intended for the other remote station. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to wireless communication in connection with one or more devices, such as a mobile station (MS). A first burst of a multi-burst page is received from a paging channel. A correlation between at least a portion of the first burst and each of a plurality of predetermined bit patterns corresponding to a non-NULL page destined for the MS is determined. If the correlation is greater than a threshold, a second burst of the page is read and early decoding of the page is performed. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed to improve a user equipment's capability of performing time and frequency tracking by utilizing two carriers when the channel interference on one of the carriers is greater than a certain threshold. In one aspect of the disclosure, a user equipment (UE) determines that channel interference of a first carrier is greater than an interference threshold. The UE performs frequency tracking and time tracking in accordance with information received from a second carrier, and performs interference cancellation in accordance with the frequency tracking and time tracking. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
A method for receiving cell broadcast messages is described. The method includes communicating with a first cell. The method also includes switching to communicating with a second cell. A cell broadcast channel is read after switching cells. The method further includes switching from a dedicated mode to a packet idle mode. The cell broadcast channel is reread once after switching from a dedicated mode to a packet idle mode. Other aspects, embodiments and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed to provide for a multi-SIM wireless user equipment configured for block-level, or slot-level tune-away operations enabling simultaneous communication with a plurality of channels. The first and second channels may correspond to different RANs, each of which the user equipment may subscribe to as corresponding to information in a plurality of SIMs at the user equipment. In other examples, the first and second channels may correspond to different cells within a single RAN. In either case, the tune-away operations disclosed provide for reduced data loss at the first channel and in some examples improved communication performance at the second channel. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
The present patent application improves DARP by allowing multiple users on one time slot (MUROS). It comprises means and instructions for sharing signals on a single channel, comprising setting up a new connection, allocating a new time slot if there is an unused time slot on a channel frequency, selecting an used time slot for the new connection to share with an existing connection if there is not an unused time slot on the channel frequency, and selecting a different training sequence code for the new connection if the used time slot on the channel frequency has been selected for the new connection to share with an existing connection.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communication includes validating a PUR configuration in a NTN based on location-related information associated with a satellite. For example, a UE may determine, based on location-related information of a satellite in a non-terrestrial network, whether a preconfigured uplink resource (PUR) configuration is valid. The UE may also transmit, to a base station (BS) via the satellite in response to determining that the PUR configuration is valid, a communication signal in a PUR. For example, the UE may determine, based on the location-related information associated with the satellite, if the parameter satisfies the threshold, and transmit UL data in a PUR occasion based on the determined parameter satisfying the threshold.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may select a random access message type for establishing connectivity with a core network, the selecting between a first random access message type associated with a non-terrestrial radio access technology and a second random access message type associated with a terrestrial radio access technology. The UE may transmit, during or after a random access procedure to establish a connection with the core network, a random access message in accordance with the selected random access message type. The UE may communicate with the core network via the connection.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. that support preconfigured uplink resources (PUR) in wireless communications. A base station may communicate that support for PUR is available, and may allocate PUR resources to a user equipment (UE) based on requests from the UE. The UE may receive an indication that the base station supports PUR, such as via a system information block (SIB), determine to request PUR, and transmit a PUR request message to the base station. A PUR response from the base station may indicate a PUR allocation for the UE that may be used for uplink transmissions. Uplink transmissions that use PUR may be acknowledged by the base station based on a QOS associated with the uplink transmissions.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor for wake up signals (WUSs) from a network entity (e.g., satellite) of a non-terrestrial network based on a geographic area. For example, the UE may monitor for WUSs if the UE is within a geographic area. In other examples, a UE may monitor for WUSs according to an assigned location-based WUS group if a cell supports the WUS group. In some cases, a network entity or UE may select a WUS resource set based on a location parameter. In some cases, a network entity or UE may select a WUS group based on a location parameter. In some cases, one or more network entities may determine geographic areas where the network may use WUSs or WUS groups, or the one or more network entities may negotiate with the UE to determine such areas.
