Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate configuration by a network of one or more measurement gaps based at least in part on UE (User Equipment) assistance. One example embodiment employable by a UE (User Equipment) comprises a memory interface; and processing circuitry configured to: generate UE capability information that comprises, for each measurement scenario of one or more measurement scenarios, an indication of whether the UE is capable of non-gap measurement in connection with that measurement scenario, wherein each measurement scenario applies to one or more associated serving frequencies and one or more associated measurement objects; and process configuration signaling that comprises, for each measurement scenario of the one or more measurement scenarios, an associated indication of whether an associated measurement gap is configured for that measurement scenario.

Abstract: Systems and methods for signaling in an increased carrier monitoring wireless communication environment are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may include control circuitry to configure the UE for increased carrier monitoring; determine, based on a first signal received from a network apparatus, whether a reduced performance group carrier is configured; determine, based on a second signal received from the network apparatus, whether a scaling factor is configured; and in response to a determination that no reduced performance group carrier is configured and a determination that no scaling factor is configured, allow the UE to monitor fewer carriers than required by increased carrier monitoring. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

Abstract: Technology for using an open mobile alliance (OMA) management object (MO) for congestion control in mobile networks is described. A novel type of OMA MO for application specific access control (ASAC) can include internet protocol (IP) flow descriptions that can be used to characterize applications with fine granularity. Priorities can be assigned to IP flows based on the IP flow descriptions. A user equipment (UE) can receive such an OMA MO and also receive application-barring information regarding a congestion level in a mobile network with which an application at the UE wishes to connect. The UE can have a connectivity manager (CM) that determines whether to allow the application to establish a connection with the mobile network based on the priority level of the application's associated IP flow and the application-barring information.

Abstract: Described herein are processes related to discovering and establishing suitable multi-hop communication paths for (endpoint) user equipments (UEs). A network-initiated discovery and path selection processes may utilize periodically transmitted reference signals along with optional assistance information. A network node, such an eNodeB, and other relaying-capable nodes, such as relay UEs, may transmit periodic reference signals. Based on these transmitted reference signals and optional assistance information, the relay UEs and/or an endpoint node (e.g., the eNodeB or the endpoint UE) may make a selection decision for previous hop paths for communication. The endpoint UE or the eNodeB may make the selection decision for the end-to-end path in order to provide coverage extension for the end UE using multi-hop transmission paths.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods for creating and editing user equipment (UE) mobility information. During a radio resource control idle (RRC_IDLE) state, a plurality of cell reselections are logged into a mobility report, and each logged cell reselection includes a cell identification (Cell ID) and a Time of Stay (ToS) duration. The mobility report is edited to remove one or more logged cell reselections based, at least in part, on identifying logged cell reselections having duplicate Cell IDs and/or identifying logged cell reselections having a ToS duration lower than a threshold value. The edited mobility report is transmitted to an evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) in response to the UE transitioning from the RRC_IDLE state to a radio resource control connected (RRC_CONNECTED) state.

Abstract: Technology for maintaining connectivity between a user equipment (UE) and a secondary (e)NodeB when connectivity is lost between the UE and a primary (e)NodeB is disclosed. The UE can start a first timer for monitoring a connection between the UE and the primary (e)NodeB. The UE can start a second timer for monitoring a connection between the UE and the secondary (e)NodeB. The UE can detect radio link failure (RLF) between the UE and the primary (e)NodeB after expiry of the first timer at the UE. The UE can maintain the connection with the secondary (e)NodeB while the second timer is unexpired, wherein the secondary (e)NodeB is configured to behave like the primary (e)NodeB or become the primary (e)NodeB depending on a capability of the UE and for a selected period of time after the connectivity between the UE and the primary (e)NodeB is lost.

Abstract: A user equipment device (UE) comprises physical layer circuitry configured to transmit and receive radio frequency electrical signals with one or more nodes of a radio access network; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to receive system information via the network, wherein the system information indicates cell specific priority and frequency priority; identify candidate cells that have a cell specific priority that is higher than a cell priority of the current serving cell, have a frequency priority that is higher than a frequency priority of a current serving frequency, and satisfy a cell suitability criterion; and determine a candidate cell from the identified candidate cells to replace the current serving cell for communicating with the network.
