Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may measure a parameter associated with a secondary cell group. The UE may perform an optimization response action for a dual connectivity mode of a first frequency parameter or a second frequency parameter when the parameter satisfies a threshold, wherein the optimization response action is associated with whether the secondary cell group is operating with the first frequency parameter or the second frequency parameter. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Wireless communications systems and methods related to wireless communications in a system are provided. A user equipment (UE) may determine a plurality of antenna configurations for a plurality of channel frequencies. The UE may determine a set of signal strengths for at least one beam received at one or more antenna configurations of the plurality of antenna configurations for at least one of the channel frequencies. The UE may select, based on the set of signal strengths, a first antenna configuration of the plurality of antenna configurations. After selection of the first antenna configuration, the UE may communicate with a base station, in one or more channel frequencies based on the first antenna configuration.
Abstract:
A cell acquisition technique for 5G and other RATs is provided in which shallow scans are interleaved with deep scans. In each shallow scan, a UE determines whether a synchronization signal is received with sufficient signal quality over one period for the synchronization signal. In each deep scan, the UE determines whether the synchronization signal is received with sufficient signal quality over multiple periods for the synchronization signal.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method, systems, and devices may include techniques for establishing a first connection with a first cell operating in accordance with a first radio access technology (RAT), and performing a beam sweep procedure for one or more candidate beams for adding or handover to a second cell operating in accordance with millimeter wave (mmW) RAT. The beam sweep procedure may be performed based on previous beam measurements stored in a measurement database. The techniques may further include selecting a beam from the one or more candidate beams for adding or handover to the second cell based on the beam sweep procedure, and adding or handing over to the second cell by establishing a second connection with the second cell using the selected beam.
Abstract:
Various aspects include methods for supporting handover of a Voice over Internet Protocol (IP) (VoIP) call, such as a Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi) call, with a user equipment (UE). Various aspects may enable VoWi-Fi call handover from support via an evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) to support via Long Term Evolution (LTE) when Voice over New Radio (NR) (VoNR) is not supported by a User Equipment (UE) computing device and/or a fifth generation (5G) standalone (SA) (5G SA) network in which the UE is located.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable medium for wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a first base station (BS) associated with a fifth generation New Radio (5G NR) radio access technology (RAT), a command of mobility from the 5G NR RAT to a second RAT. The UE may determine that the command of mobility is for voice fallback. The UE may transmit, to a second BS associated with the second RAT and based at least in part on determining that the command of mobility is for voice fallback, a radio resource control (RRC) connection request communication for attempting to communicatively connect with the second BS for voice fallback.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure implement techniques that allow a vehicle performing V2X communications to provide more accurate S-RSSI measurements and CBR calculations for use in channel selection and congestion control. Techniques may include measuring a sidelink received signal strength indicator (S-RSSI) for each of a plurality of sub-channels, determining one or more signal impairment adjustment factors based on the S-RSSI for each of the plurality of sub-channels, calculating a channel busy ratio (CBR) for the plurality of sub-channels based on the one or more signal impairment adjustment factors, and initiating communication with at least one of the plurality of sub-channels based on at least the CBR.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus and techniques for specific absorption rate (SAR) control for user equipments (UEs) (e.g., high-power UEs). A method for wireless communications by a UE is provided. The method generally includes determining a time division duplexing (TDD) subframe configuration defining a first number of uplink subframes and a second number downlink subframes and adjusting a transmit power level of the UE based on the TDD subframe configuration. Another method generally includes estimating SAR of the UE for a time window and taking one or more actions to reduce a number of uplink transmissions for the UE in order to achieve a target SAR for the time window.
Abstract:
Methods, computer-readable medium, and apparatus are described for coordinating system selection among a set of nodes. The described aspects include determining that a node is part of a subset of nodes, wherein each node in the subset of nodes performs one or more system scans for a set of nodes that includes the subset of nodes, performing the one or more system scans by the node on one or more Radio Access Technologies (RATs) in response to determining that the node is part of the subset of nodes, obtaining one or more system scan results from the one or more system scans on the one or more RATs, and transmitting the one or more system scan results to the set of nodes.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling for communications in a wireless communications system. The control signaling may indicate a first duration for an inactivity timer. The UE may initiate the inactivity timer and a second timer based on identifying a period of inactivity. The second timer may have a second duration that is shorter than the first duration for the inactivity timer. In some examples, the second duration may be based on one or more parameters, such as a display status, a battery status, a scaling factor, the first duration, an application state, or any combination thereof. The UE may release a connection for the communications in the wireless communications system based on an expiration of the second timer, an expiration of the inactivity timer, or a combination thereof.
