    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One example method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE) includes detecting a radio link failure (RLF) condition for a connection between the UE and a network over a first cell group and determining, in response to detecting the RLF condition, whether an air interface resource allocation is available for a signaling radio bearer (SRB) between the UE and the network over another cell group. The method also includes selecting, based at least in part on the determination, one of a plurality of RLF procedures. In some examples, the UE may select a first RLF procedure that fully releases radio resources when no SRB is available and a different, second RLF procedure that partially when an SRB is available between the UE and the network over a second cell group.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communications system may support multi-connectivity for a user equipment (UE) with multiple distributed units (DUs) under one central unit (CU), the DUs and the CU belonging to a base station. The UE may establish radio resource control (RRC) connections with multiple cell groups corresponding to multiple DUs under the CU. The UE may transmit measurement reports that provide measurement information for cells in proximity to the UE. The UE may maintain a set of active cell groups and a set of inactive cell groups. In some cases, one or more cell groups may be identified as controlling cell groups used to transmit control information. In some examples, the UE may replicate an uplink packets and transmit the uplink packet and replicates on multiple cell groups. In some cases, the UE may aggregate an uplink transmission among multiple cell groups.

    摘要: Discovery and synchronization channels are discussed for user-tracking zones in a cellular network. User-tracking zones reduce the mobility tracking burden on the UE and shift the tracking responsibility to the network. This shift allows for UE and network power savings from reduced searching at the UE as well as through efficient paging area tracking and less broadcast signaling. The various aspects provide channel design for initial synchronization and discovery of the user-tracking zones. A single frequency network (SFN) synchronization channel is provided with at least a reference signal for time synchronization and payload information that may include a zone identifier (ID), formatting for a system information transmission request, and resource allocation for the request. The zone ID may be included in the payload or embedded into the reference signal. Facility is also provided for handling zone nodes of different power classes that allows for maintaining the SFN operations.

    摘要: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive a system information (SI) message in an overlapped scheduling window; and identify the SI message based at least in part on at least one of: downlink control information (DCI) for the SI message, a system information radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI) of the SI message, a time location of the SI message in the overlapped scheduling window, a search space for the DCI, or a combination thereof. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A per-frequency indication providing deployment options for communication with a core network may be used for enhanced cell selection by a user equipment (UE). For example, system information transmitted by a base station may provide information elements that indicate, per radio frequency (or per radio frequency (RF) spectrum band)), deployment options associated with nearby cells. In such cases, the UE may determine whether to access the radio frequencies or RF bands of these cells based on the capabilities of the UE. In some cases, the UE may further determine whether the nearby cells are available based on the availability of a service through those cells. Accordingly, the UE may select one of the radio frequencies or bands corresponding to the cell having a network connectivity configuration that supports the UE's capabilities.
