Systems and methods of providing location techniques for a NB UE are described. The UE transmits, lo a location server, a capability message that indicates position capabilities of the UE to support different positioning methods and common information related to the position methods, including that the UE is a NB UE. The UE receives a request for location information that includes a request for positioning measurements for a particular positioning method, a NB message size limit that indicates a limit on an amount of location information to return, and a NB response time to provide the positioning measurements. At least one of the response time or message size limit is different than for the NB UE than for non-NB UEs. The UE enters an idle state, performs the measurements, and transmits at expiry of or before the NB response time, a message containing the measurements.

A wireless device may include a selection processor configured to process selection information to set a duration of a selection period and to start the selection period, a receiver configured to receive a synchronization initiation signal, and a transmitter configured to transmit a synchronization initiation signal after the selection period has expired if the receiver has not received a synchronization initiation signal during the selection period.

Technology for a user equipment (UE) to perform long-term evolution (LTE) and Wireless local area network (WLAN) aggregation (LWA) connection procedures within a wireless communication network is disclosed. The UE can determine to suspend communication on a wireless local area network (WLAN) of one or more protocol data units (PDUs) for a LWA session without terminating the LWA session. The UE can process, for transmission to an eNodeB, a request to suspend communication of the one or more PDUs on the WLAN to enable the eNodeB to schedule the one or more PDUs for transmission to the UE through a cellular interface without terminating the LWA session.

Long-term evolution (LTE) and wireless local area network (WLAN) aggregation (LWA) connection procedures

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems, devices, and methods for radio resource control in an aggregation of cellular and wireless local area networks. In embodiments, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) ConnectionReconfiguration message may include WLAN measurement configuration information to indicate a WLAN Group of plural WLAN access points (APs) and to direct monitoring of the WLAN APs of the WLAN Group
