Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for enabling a base station to enable peer-to-peer communication among multiple user equipment (UE) over a mmWave link. The techniques described herein overcome challenges that the multiple UEs might otherwise face in trying to establish peer-to-peer links on their own. By relying on the base station to grant air interface resources for the UE to perform peer-to-peer communications with the UE, the UE can communicate directly with the other UE, independent of links that the UE or the other UE maintains with the base station. Furthermore, reliance on the base station may help the UE and the other UE mitigate interference from other nearby mmWave links that are separate from the peer-to-peer wave link. In addition, by relying on the base station to specify the beam sweeping pattern, beam acquisition by the UE and the other UE may be improved.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques and systems for wireless communication via a mobile relay. These techniques may include a user device that determines that a transceiver is unavailable for communicating with a base station via a wireless connection. The user device then uses a mobile relay to communicate with the base station while the transceiver is unavailable. The mobile relay may be used for transmitting or receiving data from the base station. Additionally or alternatively, the mobile relay may participate in the wireless connection as an external resource of the mobile device or may establish an independent wireless connection with the base station.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for beamforming enhancement via strategic resource utilization. In some aspects, an air interface resource is used for exchanging wireless communications using one or more signal beams. In some implementations, end-user devices are classified into a beamforming state—such as active, idle, or inactive—based on an activity level with a base station. To facilitate antenna beamforming between the base station and an end-user device, opportunities for beamforming training are provided by strategically granting resource units based on one or more resource allocation rules. For example, both control and data information can be allocated together on the same frequencies for each end-user device. Also, an uplink or a downlink grant can be provided that precedes a downlink or an uplink allocation, respectively. In some implementations, the resource allocation rules are applied based on the beamforming state to which an end-user device has been classified.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for satellite-based narrow-band communication. In some aspects, the systems include a user device (102) that establishes a Narrow-Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) wireless connection (106) with one or more orbital satellites (104) in order to transmit (108) and receive (110) data when other wireless connections are not available. The data may be relayed by the orbital satellite (104) to and from a base station (202) on Earth.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for interleaving radio access technologies. In some aspects, the systems include a user device with a first wireless connection of a first RAT and a second wireless connection of a second RAT. The user device receives a coordinated uplink schedule for transmitting via the first wireless connection and the second wireless connection. The user device transmits a first portion of data during a data frame via the first wireless connection. According to the coordinated uplink schedule, the transmission of the first portion of data is interrupted, by the user device, to transmit a signal via the second wireless connection of the second RAT. The user device may then resume transmitting the data frame by transmitting a second portion of the data frame via the first wireless connection.

Abstract: In aspects, a non-terrestrial communication system communicates with a user equipment, UE, using repetitive communications. The non-terrestrial communication system determines a repetition configuration for repetitive communications with the UE and indicates the repetition configuration to the UE. The non-terrestrial communication system communicates with the UE using the repetitive communications in accordance with the repetition configuration.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods for a user equipment wirelessly communicating with another user equipment using dual connectivity (DC) with a terrestrial base station and a satellite or high-altitude platform. The described methods and systems include a principal routing manager assessing that different subsets of data, to be transmitted from the user equipment to the other user equipment, can use different, respective qualities of service (QoS) offered through different wireless-communication networks associated with the terrestrial base station and the satellite or high-altitude platform. The principal routing manager causes a routing command message to be sent to the user equipment, directing the user equipment to enter a state of dual connectivity with the terrestrial base station and the satellite or high-altitude platform and transmit the different subsets of the data in accordance with the QoS offered by the different wireless-communication networks that are associated with the terrestrial base station and satellite or high-altitude platform.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for flexible frequency band pairing for satellite communications. In aspects, a non-terrestrial communication system uses multiple frequency bands for a wireless link between a user equipment, UE, and a satellite of the non-terrestrial communication system. The non-terrestrial communication system determines to utilize two different frequency bands the wireless link between the satellite and the UE, the two different frequency bands being defined by a governing entity. In response, the non-terrestrial based communication system selects a first defined frequency band for downlink communications from the satellite to the UE and a second defined frequency band for uplink communications from the UE to the satellite. The non-terrestrial communication system then directs the satellite and the UE to communicate via the wireless link by using the first defined frequency band for the downlink communications and the second defined frequency band for the uplink communications.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses that include a three-dimensional (3D) antenna module for transmitting or receiving electromagnetic millimeter waves (mmWaves). In general, a user equipment (UE) may include the 3D antenna module in a corner of a housing of the UE. The 3D antenna module may include three antenna panels that are generally planar and generally orthogonal to three respective axes of a Cartesian-coordinate system. The 3D antenna module may transmit and receive the electromagnetic mmWaves as part of a wireless link between the UE and another device, such as a satellite that is part of a wireless-communication network. In general, the 3D antenna module may mitigate propagation losses and allow the UE to maintain a link-budget for the wireless link.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for adaptive selection of a network access mode by a user equipment. In aspects, a user equipment (UE) indicates, to a RAN, support for at least a first network access mode and a second network access mode and receives directions to operate in the first network access mode. While communicating in the RAN using the first network access mode, the UE detects a trigger event and determines to use the second network access mode based on at least one operational performance metric. In aspects, the UE indicates (740), to the RAN, that the UE supports the second network access mode without indicating that the UE supports the first network access mode, and transitions from the first network access mode to the second network access mode. The UE then communicates in the RAN using the second network access mode.
