Numerous other aspects are provided.

Service interruption measurement

Methods (), systems () and devices () for wireless communications are presented. A method () may include the following operations. A UE determines to perform a handover from a first source device in a first network to a first target device in the first network and from a second source device in a second network to a second target device in the second network (). The UE identifies a time interval for performing a first random access procedure with the first target device in the first network (). The UE initiates a first random access procedure with the first target device (). The UE performs a second random access procedure successfully with the second target device in the second network during the time interval (). The UE transmits or receives from the target device in the second network before the UE finishes performing the first random access procedure with the first target device in the first network ().

Parallel handover and failure handling

Methods, systems, and devices for providing feedback about radio link failure (RLF) events that includes information about directional beams. A user equipment (UE) may experience an RLF event and lose connectivity with a network. After the UE reestablish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the network, the UE may transmit an RLF report that include information about directional beams, information about a master node and a secondary node in a dual-connectivity procedure, information associated conditional handover procedures, or information about service time interruptions, or a combination thereof. One or more base stations may be configured to transmit at least portions of the information in the RLF report to other base stations as part of a message that may be an example of an RLF indication or a handover report. The message may be transmitted over an X2 interface or an Xn interface.

Techniques for communicating mobility information

Aspects described herein relate to requesting suspending of a data session of a first when a device capable of communicating over multiple subscriptions switches from an active communication state if the first network to an active communication state in a second network. The device can also request resuming the data session based on switching back to active communication state with the first network.

Techniques for managing sessions in multiple-subscription wireless communications

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may transmit a resource status request requesting load information related to load balancing between the wireless communication device and one or more other wireless communication devices. The wireless communication device may receive a resource status response including the load information in response to the request. In other aspects, a User Equipment (UE) may receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration including a set of target cells for a conditional handover procedure and load information of the target cells. The UE may select a target cell from the set of target cells for the conditional handover procedure based at least on the load information of the target cells. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Mobility load balancing in wireless communication network

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for early measurement associated with configuring with multiple secondary nodes (SNs). In one aspect, the configuration of multiple SNs may be improved by allowing a master node (MN) to determine a multi-SN configuration based at least in part on measurements of actual channel conditions as seen by the UE. Enabling the MN to receive the measurement information early during a process associated with establishing a connection between the UE and the MN may thereby improve efficiency and reduce latency associated with the configuration of multiple SNs.

Radio (NR) early measurement with multiple secondary nodes (multi-SNs)

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may generate a report for one or more two-step random access channel (RACH) procedures between the UE and a base station (BS), wherein the RACH report includes at least one of an indication of a quantity of message A (MsgA) payloads transmitted during the one or more two-step RACH procedures on each beam of one or more beams associated with the BS, an indication of one or more parameters associated with each MsgA communication transmitted during the one or more two-step RACH procedures, or an indication of whether a respective signal strength for each beam, associated with the one or more two-step RACH procedures, satisfies a signal strength threshold. The UE may transmit the report to the BS. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Two-step random access channel signaling

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for performing minimization of drive test (MDT) operations. For example, certain aspects provide a method for wireless communication. The method generally includes receiving, at a radio access network (RAN), a measurement configuration to start a trace of a user-equipment (UE), determining a transition of the UE to an inactive state, and sending one or more messages to coordinate the trace of the UE or indicate that the trace has failed in response to the determination.

Techniques for performing minimization of drive test (MDT)

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive information related to a dedicated preconfigured uplink resource (DPUR) in a message releasing the UE to an idle mode or an inactive mode. For example, in some aspects, the information related to the DPUR may identify one or more uplink resources that are allocated to the UE to enable the UE to initiate an uplink data transmission in the idle mode or the inactive mode. The UE may transmit, based at least in part on the information related to the DPUR, uplink data while in the idle mode or the inactive mode. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Mobile-originated data over dedicated preconfigured uplink resource while in an idle mode or an inactive mode

This disclosure provides systems, methods, apparatus, and computer programs encoded on a computer storage media for providing user equipment mobility history information to a remote computing platform. In one aspect, a user equipment may store user equipment mobility history information in memory within the user equipment. The user equipment may determine whether a radio access network connection state has changed from a primary cell in a radio resource controller state to another cell outside a radio access network, to an inter-radio access technology cell, or to an out of service. The user equipment may transmit the user equipment mobility history information to the remote computing platform in response to determining that the user equipment radio access network connection state has changed from a primary cell in a radio resource controller state to another cell outside a radio access network, an inter-radio access technology cell, or an out of service state.

User equipment (UE) mobility history information management

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station (BS), a paging communication while the UE is in an inactive mode or an idle mode. The UE may transmit, to the BS and based at least in part on receiving the paging communication, a first communication as part of a random access channel (RACH) procedure. The UE may receive, from the BS and based at least in part on transmitting the first communication, a second communication that includes mobile-terminated downlink data, an indication of an uplink resource, and a radio resource control (RRC) release message. The RRC release message may cause the UE to remain in the inactive mode or the idle mode while receiving the mobile-terminated downlink data. The UE may transmit mobile-originated uplink data using the uplink resource. Numerous other aspects are provided.
