Abstract:
Methods that are performed by a user equipment (UE) and corresponding methods of base stations that allow a UE to determine whether the UE is in a carrier aggregation enabled or disabled state. One exemplary embodiment of a method performed by a UE determines a first artificial value for a first parameter and a second artificial value for a power headroom (PHR) for a secondary component carrier (SCC), the first and second artificial values being substantially low relative to a configuration of the network, generates an artificial report including the first and second artificial values, transmits the artificial report to a primary cell providing a primary component carrier (PCC) and receives an indication that the UE is placed in a carrier aggregation disabled state.

Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for enhancement in NTN mobility. A cellular base station may serve as a source base station of a handover procedure from the source base station to a target non-terrestrial network (NTN) base station. The cellular base station may configure a parameter associated with the target NTN base station in a handover command, the parameter being related to NTN mobility, and send the handover command to a wireless device for use by the wireless device during the handover procedure. The wireless device may receive the handover command from the cellular base station, and perform the handover procedure using the parameter associated with the target NTN base station.
Abstract:
One embodiment described herein takes the form of a user equipment (UE), such as a phone. The UE includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to establish a first radio resource control (RRC) connection with a base station via the transceiver. The processor is configured to associate with a secondary UE for collaboration of transmission of a data payload of one of the UE or the secondary UE to the base station, and transmit a first portion of the data payload to the base station via the transceiver.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) operates in a network. The UE receives, from the network, a paging area comprising a plurality of cells of the network. When the UE is in one of a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state or RRC idle state with respect to the network, the UE transmits a message to a first cell of the paging area based on the UE moving into a first coverage area of the first cell from a second coverage area of a second cell of the paging area. The UE then monitors the first cell for a page from the network.
Abstract:
A first next generation Node B (gNB) is configured to establish a first backhaul communication link with a second gNB as a parent gNB, schedule at least one of a third gNB or a UE for a UL transmission to the first gNB using UL beam management parameters and UL transmission parameters, indicate to the second gNB first beam management parameters for the second gNB to use for transmitting a DL transmission to the first gNB on the first backhaul link and first DL transmission parameters for the DL transmission so that the DL transmission will be received simultaneously with the UL transmission and when the first beam management parameters and the first DL transmission parameters are determined to be used by the second gNB, receiving the DL transmission from the second gNB simultaneously with the UL transmission from the at least one of the third gNB or the UE.
Abstract:
A base station is configured to transmit wake-up signals to a user equipment to wake-up the UE to receive a page from the base station. The base station transmits one or more synchronization signals, wherein the synchronization signals correspond to a wake-up signal (WUS) that is to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) operating in a paging discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, wherein the paging DRX cycle includes a paging occasion (PO) and transmits the WUS to the UE during a WUS occasion, wherein the WUS indicates whether the UE is to utilize an active mode or a sleep mode during the PO.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) configured to receive a first cumulative acknowledgement (ACK) from a protocol stack of the UE at a first time, store the first cumulative ACK in a queue, receive a second cumulative ACK from the protocol stack at a second time, wherein the second time occurs after the first time, store the second cumulative ACK in the queue, discard the first cumulative ACK from the queue based on the second cumulative ACK being received after the first cumulative ACK and encapsulate the second cumulative ACK to form a radio link control (RLC) packet data unit (PDU) that is to be transmitted over the air.
Abstract:
An approach is described for a base station to generate a first message and a second message. The base station transmits the first message and the second message to a user equipment (UE). The first message is associated with a cell supported by the base station and includes a first public land mobile network (PLMN) identity index and a first list of one or more network slices supported by a first PLMN associated with the first PLMN identity index. The second message is associated with one or more neighboring cells, and includes the first PLMN identity index and a second list of one or more network slice data associated the first PLMN as supported by the one or more neighboring cells. In addition, at least one of the one or more network slice data in the second list includes a sub-list of one or more neighboring cell data.
Abstract:
A network mitigates paging false alarms. A network component of the network determines a paging area for a user equipment (UE), wherein the paging area comprises a plurality of cells of the network, determines one of a most recent one of the cells of the paging area with which the UE was in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state or a coverage area of one of the cells in which the UE is currently located and configures a page to be transmitted to the UE from a subset of the plurality of cells of the paging area, wherein the subset is based on at least the determination of the most recent one of the cells with which the UE was in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state or the one of the cells in which the UE is currently located.
