    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may initiate an application on a user equipment (UE) which utilizes a network slice via a packet data network (PDN) connection with a first cellular network. The first cellular network may support network slicing and voice over new radio (VONR) and one or more cells of the first cellular network may support evolved packet system (EPS) fallback procedures. The UE may receive or initiate a voice call with another UE and adjust one or more capabilities of the UE such that an EPS fallback procedure is deemphasized. The UE may receive signaling from the first cellular network to establish, based at least in part on the one or more adjusted capabilities of the UE, the voice call as a VoNR call via the first cellular network and the network slice may be maintained during the VoNR call.

    Abstract: A wireless network may include network equipment such as base stations that operate within cells and that communicate with user equipment (UE) devices. The network equipment may harvest anonymized data from the UE devices and may generate connection counts based on the anonymized data. The network equipment may estimate the total population of each cell based on the connection counts, may generate a maximum number of individuals allowed in the cells under a social distancing guideline, and may compare the estimated total population of the cells to the maximum number of individuals. Cells having an estimated total population that exceeds the maximum number of individuals may be labeled as cells having poor social distancing. Information may be provided to a UE device identifying these cells to allow a user to make informed decisions on where to travel without exposing private information to the network.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for presenting notifications that can receive input data. The techniques include presenting a notification in response to occurrence of an event, wherein the notification is associated with a specified data type and a data source from which data is to be received, receiving input data of the specified data type from the data source, wherein the notification is presented until the input data is received, and storing the input data. The notification can block access to a user interface of at least one application until the input data is received. The data source can be a data entry component of a user interface that receives user input, or can be an application that provides data of the specified data type, and receiving input data can include requesting data of the specified data type from the application, and receiving the input data from the application via inter-process communication.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for a wireless device to predict and mitigate thermal pressure. Status information for multiple parameters for the wireless device may be received. A predicted thermal status for the wireless device may be determined based at least in part on the status information for the multiple parameters for the wireless device. The wireless device may determine whether to perform thermal mitigation action based at least in part on the predicted thermal status for the wireless device.

    Abstract: A method includes outputting an alert corresponding to an information item. In some implementations, the alert is a sound. In some implementations, the alert is ambiguous (e.g., the sound indicates several possible information items). The method further includes receiving a speech input after outputting the alert. The method further includes determining whether the speech input includes a request for information about the alert. The method further includes, in response to determining that the speech input includes a request for information about the alert, providing a first speech output including information about the alert.
