Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for configuring a user equipment (UE) to perform access control, for example, applying rules that differentiate between states (e.g., idle, inactive, and connected states) of the UE.
Abstract:
Various aspects relate to determining whether one or more subframes are multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) subframes. A user equipment (UE) can receive, from a base station, a system information broadcast signal that includes an indication of one or more subframes as MBSFN subframes, and a subsequent system information broadcast signal that indicates at least scheduling information for a multicast control channel (MCCH) in at least a portion of the one or more subframes. The UE can determine, based at least in part on the indication or on the subsequent system information broadcast signal, a numerology for a physical multicast channel (PMCH) corresponding to the MCCH in at least the portion of the one or more subframes, and can process at least the portion of the one or more subframes based at least in part on the scheduling information or the numerology for the PMCH.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for routing data bearers of a user equipment (UE) while the UE is associated to a base station (BS) of a first radio access technology (RAT) while being served by a BS of a second RAT.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive information identifying a set of network slice specific cell selection evaluation parameters, wherein the set of network slice specific cell selection evaluation parameters include one or more parameter values associated with a characteristic of a type of cell selection that is to be performed. The UE may perform the type of cell selection in accordance with the set of network slice specific cell selection evaluation parameters. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may perform, in an occasion during an idle period associated with a frame based equipment (FBE) mode, measurements to determine a received signal strength indicator (RSSI). Accordingly, the UE may transmit, to a base station, a report based at least in part on the RSSI. In other aspects, a UE may perform, during an idle period associated with an FBE mode, measurements on a sidelink channel. Accordingly, the UE may determine a sidelink RSSI (SL RSSI) using the measurements. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of candidate transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for communicating with one or more base stations. The CE may receive an indication of a subset of the candidate TCI states for selection for a communication with the one or more base stations, the indication of the subset including an indication of whether one or more candidate TCI states of the subset of the candidate TCI states are joint uplink/downlink candidate TCI states. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for random-access channel (RACH) communication. For example, certain aspects provide a method for falling back from a 2-step RACH procedure to a 4-step RACH procedure.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communications by an apparatus. A method includes sending user equipment (UE) assistance information to a network entity, the UE assistance information comprising information indicative of: a requested length of a requested time window; a requested periodicity at which the requested time window repeats; and a first requested communication configuration for communicating during the requested time window; receiving a communication configuration from the network entity; and communicating according to the communication configuration.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for quality of experience (QoE) reporting in wireless communication networks. An example method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting a QoE report, including one or more QoE measurements, to a network entity and transmitting, to the network entity, connection identification information associated with the one or more QoE measurements.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein support transitioning the radio resource control (RRC) state of a network controlled repeater (NCR). A distributed unit (DU) and a central unit (CU) may coordinate the release and resumption of the RRC connection of the NCR. The CU may transmit a control signal to the DU indicating to release the RRC connection of the NCR. The control signal may include a flag, such as an identifier of the NCR, and the DU may retain the identifier of the NCR. The DU may transmit a message indicating a release of the RRC connection to the NCR. The DU may coordinate the resumption of the RRC connection of the NCR by transmitting a second message to the CU. The second message may include a request to initiate a paging of the NCR and may include the identifier of the NCR.
