Abstract: An apparatus of a base station includes a memory device and processing circuitry operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing circuitry processes a buffer status report (BSR) from a user equipment (UE) indicating an amount of data in a buffer of the UE. The processing circuitry further determines a ratio of WLAN uplink data to be transmitted on a WLAN channel of the UE to long term evolution (LTE) uplink data to be transmitted on a LTE channel. Furthermore, the processing circuitry encodes a protocol data unit (PDU) indicating the amount, wherein the PDU is to be transmitted to the UE.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses may configure a measurement gap per frequency group and per cell. Measurement time and frequency resources may be associated with a carrier frequency, a cell, or both. Thus, a user equipment (UE) may determine the measurement configuration based on the carrier frequency, cell, or both. The number of synchronization sequences (SS) blocks in an SS burst may be based on the frequency band of the carrier frequency

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, user equipment (UE) comprising circuitry to connect to a network via a serving cell; and indicate to the network a measurement gap capability of the UE. The measurement gap capability includes information if the UE supports a carrier aggregation (CA) specific measurement gap and if the UE has two or more radio-frequency (RF) chains. The UE then receives a CA specific measurement gap configuration from the network for the two or more RF chains.

Abstract: NCSGs may be used by a cellular network to, for example, enhance the signal measurement processes by which a UE performs inter-frequency measurements. In a first embodiment described herein, a UE may signal to the network, on a per-UE basis, the ability to support NCGS interruptions. In a first embodiment described herein, a UE may signal to the network, on a per-component carrier basis of the UE, the ability to support NCGS interruptions.

Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to enable User Equipment (UE) to switch between Radio Access Technologies (RATs) while transitioning from an inactive state to an active state. For example. a UE may connect to a base station via one type of RAT (e.g., Long-Term Evolution (LTE) RAT), enter an inactive state, and later, while transitioning from the inactive state to an active state, connect to another base station via another type of RAT (e.g., a New Radio (NR) or 5th Generation (5G) RAT). The UE may transition from one RAT to another RAT without increasing signaling between the UE and the network beyond minimal signaling involved in a transition of the UE from the inactive state to an active state. The network may further minimize signaling by determining and communicating minimized connection configuration information to the UE.

Abstract: An apparatus of a base station (BS) of a radio access network (RAN) comprises memory and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry includes a central unit (CU) portion and a distributed unit (DU) portion that implement a BS multi-layer protocol stack divided between the CU portion and the DU portion. The processing circuitry initiates a handover to change a serving cell of user equipment (UE). The handover includes a change in a portion of logical layers of the BS multi-layer protocol stack, and the processing circuitry encodes an information element for transmission to the UE indicating logical layers of a UE multi-layer protocol stack implemented in the UE to be reset by the UE in association with the handover.

Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a user equipment (UE) may enter into an E-UTRAN Routing Area Paging Channel state, and is configured with an E-UTRAN Routing Area and an Anchor identifier to identify an anchor evolved Node B (eNB) for the UE. The UE selects to a new cell without performing a handover procedure, and performs a cell update procedure. The UE also may enter into a Cell Update Connected state, and is configured with an Anchor identifier. The UE selects to a new cell, performs a cell update procedure, performs a buffer request procedure, and performs a cell update procedure to download buffered data and to perform data transmission with the new cell.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) operable to perform inter-frequency measurements is disclosed. The UE can decode an information element (IE) received from an eNodeB. The UE can determine whether the IE received from the eNodeB includes a reduced measurement performance field. The UE can determine that a neighboring inter-frequency is configured for a reduced measurement performance when the reduced measurement performance field is included in the IE.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, systems, and devices for facilitating transfer of user equipment (UE) handover in multi-cell networks. A source evolved node B (eNB) may transmit an autonomous handover grant to a UE along with an indication of a target eNB. The source eNB may also make a handover request to the target eNB and provide a UE context to the target eNB. Upon transmission of a handover command, the UE may perform a random access channel procedure to connect to the target eNB. Because the eNB may have the UE context (or may be able to fetch the context), the handover time may be lessened. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable to communicate with an one or more extended transmission reception points (TRPs) is disclosed. The UE can signal a transceiver of the UE to simultaneously broadcast two or more transmission beams to establish a connection with one or more of an extended eNodeB or one or more extended transmission reception points (TRP), wherein each extended TRP is connected to the UE via an extended interface with the extended eNodeB. The UE can decode, at the UE, higher layer signaling received from the one or more extended TRPs to form beam association, beam addition, beam release, beam change, or a combination thereof between the UE and the one or more extended TRPs.
