Abstract: This disclosure relates to performing cellular communication using a control information monitoring framework. A wireless device may monitor a control channel for control information according to a first periodic pattern. According to the first periodic pattern, the wireless device may monitor the control channel in a specified slot during each period of the first periodic pattern. Each period of the first periodic pattern may include multiple slots. The wireless device may receive control information during a first slot. The first slot may be a specified slot according to the first periodic pattern. The control information received during the first slot may schedule a data communication. The wireless device may monitor the control channel for control information in at least one slot that is not specified according to the first periodic pattern based at least in part on receiving control information during a specified slot according to the first periodic pattern.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform substantially concurrent communications with a next generation network node and a legacy network node. The wireless device may be configured to establish a first wireless link with a first cell according to a RAT, where the first cell operates in a first system bandwidth and establish a second wireless link with a second cell according to a RAT, where the second cell operates in a second system bandwidth. Further, the wireless device may be configured to perform uplink activity for both the first RAT and the second RAT by TDM uplink data for the first RAT and uplink data for the second RAT if uplink activity is scheduled according to both the first RAT and the second RAT.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) has a cellular connection established by a cellular chip, the cellular connection including a secondary component carrier (SCC) of carrier aggregation (CA) in the unlicensed spectrum. The UE receives, by a WiFi chip of the UE, a message from the cellular chip indicating a first frequency band corresponding to the SCC, determines whether a hotspot service is enabled utilizing at least a portion of the first frequency band that the cellular chip has indicated corresponds to the SCC and when the hotspot service is enabled, switches, by the WiFi chip, the hotspot service from the first frequency band to a second frequency band.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform simultaneous uplink activity for multiple RATs in the same carrier using frequency division multiplexing. The wireless device may establish a first wireless link with a first base station according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second wireless link with a second base station according to a second RAT. The first base station may provide a first cell operating in a first system bandwidth and the second base station may provide a second cell operating in a second system bandwidth. The wireless device may determine whether the wireless device has uplink activity scheduled according to both the first RAT and the second RAT. If so, the wireless device may perform uplink activity for both the first RAT and the second RAT in the first system bandwidth using frequency division multiplexing.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for opportunistically depowering receiver chains of a wireless device. Based on control information, a device may determine whether the current number of active receiver chains can be reduced while maintaining a target achievable code rate for a period of data reception associated with the control information. Additionally, the device may generate and use a lookup table to determine whether to depower receiver chains, and which receiver chains to depower.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform user equipment (UE) initiated beam management procedures with a base station or gNB. A wireless device in communication with a 5G base station may detect degradation in the pair of transmit and receive beams between the gNB and the device. The device may select a preferred beam management procedure and indicate the preference to the gNB.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for supporting message mapping via time and/or frequency indexing. For example, these techniques may be applied to device-to-device wireless communication. For example, device to device discovery may use message mapping via frequency indexing. A portion of the payload of a message, such as a discovery message, may be offloaded to a frequency and/or time index. A receiving device may determine the offloaded portion of the payload based on the frequency and/or time (e.g., subcarrier and/or slot) used to transmit the message.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for transmitting a preamble. The UE may transmit a preamble to a base station in a random access channel (RACH). The RACH may be located in unlicensed spectrum. The bandwidth of the preamble may cover a majority of a nominal channel bandwidth of the RACH. The UE may receive a random access response and establish a connection with the base station in response to receiving the random access response.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device and base station using a first radio access technology to monitor traffic load on a second radio access technology. A wireless device may monitor traffic of the second radio access technology and may transmit one or more traffic load reports to the base station. The base station may, based on the report(s) and its own observations, determine whether a hidden network of the second radio access technology is present at the wireless device.
