Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to discontinuous reception (DRX) transmission. Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a solution for DRX configurations for point-to-point (PTP) and/or point-to-multipoint (PTM) transmissions. In this solution, a user equipment (UE) maintains separate DRX configurations for PTP transmissions and PTM transmissions. During active time for the PTP transmissions, the UE monitors physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with a UE specific identifier. The UE monitors PDCCH with a PTM transmission specific identifier during active time for the PTM transmissions. In this way, it can match the MBS service quality mechanism. Moreover, it also saves power at the UE.

Discontinuous reception transmission

To accommodate a mix of high frequency carriers and lower frequency carriers, a protocol stack may include a radio link control (RLC) entity that allows configuration of status reporting control parameters on per carrier, or per subcarrier spacing. Alternatively, a protocol stack may include two RLC entities, one for handling high frequency carriers, and another for handling lower frequency carriers. (High frequency carriers and lower frequency carriers may be distinguished based on a frequency threshold.) Furthermore, a user equipment may transmit (to the network) an indication of its L2 buffer size. The network may configure the UE and/or control scheduling, to ensure the UE's L2 buffer does not overrun. Alternatively, the UE may indicate that it can support a percentage of a maximum buffer size. The network may configure the UE and/or control scheduling so that the UE's buffer occupancy does not exceed the percentage.

Handling high data rates in protocol stack when using high frequency spectrum

Aspects are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for secondary cell group (SCG) addition. A wireless device may establish communication with a first base station that is comprised in a master cell group (MCG) and a second base station that is comprised in the SCG. The wireless device may maintain timing advance (TA) parameters for performing uplink communication with the second base station. The wireless device may perform a plurality of signal quality measurements after receiving an indication to deactivate the SCG. The wireless device may determine whether to reuse the TA parameters for communicating with the second base station after receiving an indication. The determination may be based on comparing one or more signal quality measurements of the second base station to one or more signal quality thresholds.

Uplink timing synchronization maintenance in secondary cell group

A user equipment (UE) associated with a wireless communication system is disclosed. The UE comprises one or more processors configured to process a service configuration signal received from a base station associated therewith. In some aspects, the service configuration signal comprises an indication of one or more service configurations associated with a data transmission that are allowed to be transmitted by the UE during an INACTIVE state of the UE. The one or more processors is further configured to determine the one or more service configurations associated with the data transmission that are allowed to be transmitted by the UE during the INACTIVE state of the UE, based on processing the service configuration signal.

Access control of user equipments for inactive direct transmissions

To extend a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in wireless communications, an extended physical broadcast channel (EPBCH) transmission is generated with one or more legacy PBCH blocks and one or more EPBCH blocks within an extension window. A size of the extension window is determined based at least in part on a PBCH repetition number and a number of the legacy PBCH blocks relative to a number of the EPBCH blocks. The EPBCH transmission is transmitted by a base station (BS) to one or more user equipment (UE).

Physical broadcast channel extension in wireless communications

A method, user equipment (UE) and integrated circuit for receiving data transmitted over a wireless network. The method includes executing an application that receives data from the network, transmitting UE assistance information to the network, wherein the UE assistance information corresponds to a traffic pattern for the data that is received from the network for the application, entering a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state and receiving the data from the network while in the RRC inactive state.

Receiving data without monitoring control channel

Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for a user equipment (UE) having dual connectivity. The UE can communicate with a first primary base station in a first primary cell (PCell) and a second primary base station in a second PCell. The UE has dual connectivity in the second PCell using a first wireless carrier to communicate with the second primary base station and a second wireless carrier to communicate with a secondary base station in a primary secondary cell (PSCell). The UE receives a message from the first primary base station to perform a handover procedure. The UE performs the handover procedure according to the received message, and further perform an addition procedure for the secondary base station in parallel with the handover procedure. A start time of the addition procedure can be before an end time of the handover procedure.

Handover in dual connectivity to a primary base station and a secondary base station

A user equipment (UE) is connected to a 5G New Radio (NR) network via a serving cell. The UE performs radio resource management (RRM) measurements on the serving cell, determines whether the UE satisfies power saving criteria for a first, second, or third mobility scenario while in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle state or RRC inactive state, wherein, when the UE is in the first or second mobility scenario, the UE performs RRM measurements with longer intervals relative to RRM measurements performed in a non-power-saving mode and wherein, when the UE is in the third scenario, the UE performs RRM measurements for neighbor cells with longer intervals relative to RRM measurements performed in a non-power-saving mode and determines a UE RRM configuration when the UE transitions from any of the power saving scenarios or the non-power-saving mode to any other power saving scenarios or the non-power-saving mode.

Radio resource management in power saving mode

A user equipment (UE) configured to establish a packet data unit (PDU) session with a network, wherein the PDU session comprises a quality of service (QOS) flow, receive one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages indicating a configured grant (CG) allocated to the UE, wherein the QoS flow is mapped to a logical channel (LCH) and wherein the LCH is mapped to the CG and transmit data on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) using a time and a frequency resource of the CG.

Configured grant adjustments

A network receives an indication of user consent from a user equipment (UE) to access UE information for the purposes of edge computing. The network receives an indication of user consent from a UE, the user consent corresponding to a network function acquiring UE information, receives the UE information and performs operations related to establishing a connection between the UE and an edge data network.

Network operations to receive user consent for edge computing

Devices and associated methods for operating a dual-subscriber identity module (SIM) dual-standby (DSDS) user equipment device (UE) configured with a first SIM and a second SIM. The UE performs communications with a first cellular network using the first SIM and a first radio resource control (RRC) connection, and receives a request to perform a higher priority communication using the second SIM. In response to the request to perform the higher priority communication, the UE transmits a request to the first network to suspend the first RRC connection. After transmission of the request to suspend the first RRC connection, the UE receives a message from the first network to place the first RRC connection in an inactive state, and initiates a timer, wherein the timer is used to determine whether the first RRC connection remains in the inactive state or transitions to an idle state.

User equipment having multiple subscriber identity modules with improved suspend / resume operation
