Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for an extended feature indication in new radio (NR), such as for slice specific extension (SSE). Aspects provide a method that may be performed by a transmitter device, such as a user equipment (UE) or a network node (e.g., a base station (BS)). The method generally includes determining a network node supports an extended feature, the extended feature being associated with an extended feature identifier. The transmitter device transmits a message, the message including the extended feature identifier and an indication that the apparatus is using the extended feature. A receiver device can receive the message and process the message and/or one or more subsequent messages based on the indication that the transmitter device is using the extended feature and the extended feature identifier.
Abstract:
A multi-mode access point supports different radio access technologies (e.g., Wi-Fi and cellular) for serving multi-mode access terminals. To provide improved service for such an access terminal, the access point may redirect the access terminal from a first type of radio access technology to a second type of radio access technology under certain circumstances. A decision to invoke such a redirection may be based on, for example, at least one of: traffic conditions on the first type of radio access technology, traffic conditions on the second type of radio access technology, and whether a backhaul for the access point is currently a bottleneck for access point communication.
Abstract:
Access by a mobile station to a femto access point (FAP) of a wireless communication system is controlled by an enforcement point in response to mobile station authorization data provided from a storage point that is remote from the FAP. The authorization data is provided in response to FAP authentication data. The authentication data may include a FAP identifier and a message authenticator that the FAP generates by hashing shared secret information. The storage point may provide the authorization data in response to determining that the message authenticator is a hash of the shared secret information.
Abstract:
A method for enabling an active hand-in from a macro base station network to a femtocell network includes servicing an active hand-in of a mobile entity from a macro base station to a femtocell network, using a first femtocell of the femtocell network. The active hand-in includes a hard handoff of the mobile entity from the macro base station with soft handoff of the mobile entity enabled between the first femtocell and one or more neighboring femtocells in the femtocell network. The hard handoff with soft handoff enabled may be implemented using novel procedures implemented by one or more entities of a wireless communications network including the femtocells and macro base station.
Abstract:
An access point is identified for providing service for an access terminal. In some aspects, the identification of an access point is based on loading at one or more access points. In some implementations, an access terminal selects a cell (e.g., the cell that provides maximum throughput) based on the cell load at one or more cells. In some implementations, load estimation is based on information acquired by an access terminal from nearby access points.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configured grant (CG) for a physical uplink channel. The UE may transmit a communication using CG physical resource blocks of data symbols of a plurality of symbols scheduled by the CG and a termination indication that indicates a termination of the data symbols prior to a last symbol of the plurality of symbols scheduled by the CG. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Aspects presented herein may improve the latency and power consumption for communications by enabling a wireless device to apply outer coding (OC) (with forward error correction (FEC)) to transmission(s). In one aspect, a wireless device segments each packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) packet in a plurality of PDCP packets into a set of OC symbols, where the plurality of PDCP packets corresponds to a packet data unit (PDU) set. The wireless device assembles multiple sets of OC symbols into an OC block. The wireless device applies an FEC encoding to the OC block. The wireless device outputs the OC block based on the FEC encoding. In some examples, the wireless device also adds an OC header to the OC block, where the OC header includes a symbol size, a set of source symbols, and/or a symbol index associated with the FEC encoding.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling from a serving network entity instructing the UE to predict a signal quality measurement of a neighbor network entity using perception information sensed by the UE. The UE may then transmit a measurement report to the serving network entity indicating a signal quality measurement prediction for the neighbor network entity based on the control signaling and the perception information sensed by the UE.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive uplink frames delivered from an application of the UE. The UE may transmit a message that indicates one or more of a cadence of the uplink frames or an offset of each of the uplink frames. The UE may receive an uplink transmission configuration that indicates that uplink transmission occasions of the UE are to overlap with power efficient opportunities. The UE may transmit uplink transmissions for the uplink frames at the uplink transmission occasions according to the uplink transmission configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Aspects presented herein may enable a UE to limit the number of transport blocks (TBs) per protocol data unit (PDU) set to a specified minimum number, such that the UE may not be specified to receive or transmit a large number of packets in one TB or in few TBs. In one aspect, a UE computes a FEC rate (F) for at least one PDU set size (f) and a number of partitions (D) for a division of the at least one PDU set size (f). The UE transmits, for a network entity, at least one of: (1) an indication of the computed FEC rate (F) and the computed number of partitions (D) for at least one PDU set size (f), or (2) at least one PDU set based on the computed FEC rate (F) and the computed number of partitions (D).
