Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may support multiple radio access technologies (RATs). The UE may communicate using both a Long Term Evolution (LTE) connection for control signaling and a New Radio (NR) connection for data signaling in a non-standalone (NSA) mode. However, if the UE uses a data rate below a threshold, the NR connection may be inefficient. To reduce processing overhead, the UE may fall back to using the LTE connection for data communications. For example, the UE may delay or abort adding an NR connection based on the data rate. In some examples, the UE may transmit a fake report or a fake uplink message to trigger dropping an NR connection. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may indicate a preferred mode of operation to the network indicating a preference for communicating data via an LTE connection.

Techniques for triggering radio access technology (RAT) fall back at a user equipment (EU) based on data traffic information

Techniques described herein may enable more accurate location of a user equipment (UE) that may be subject to movement or velocity. The UE may obtain, during a period of time, location-related measurements of RF signals received at the UE, where the location-related measurements are indicative of a location of the UE during the period of time; The UE may also obtain, using sensors of the UE, velocity-related measurements indicative of a movement or velocity of the UE during the period of time. The UE may send the location-related measurements and the velocity-related measurements to a location server, which may compute a location of the UE based on the measurements. The location computation may allow for movement of the UE during the period of time.

Systems and methods for improving location accuracy for a mobile device using sensors

Various additional and alternative aspects are described herein. In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a wireless device. The wireless device includes a first radio configured to communicate with a first data network. The wireless device includes a second radio configured to communicate with a second data network. The wireless device includes a thermal sensor array configured to measure a set of one or more thermal parameters associated with the wireless device. The wireless device includes a controller configured to allocate communication of data traffic between the first radio and the second radio based on the set of one or more thermal parameters.

Thermal-based radio selection

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may receive a temporary mobile group identifier (TMGI) for a single cell point-to-multipoint (SC-PTM) service to which a user equipment (UE) is to be subscribed. The apparatus may configure a connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) schedule for the UE based at least in part on an SC-PTM discontinuous reception (DRX) schedule that corresponds to the TMGI. The apparatus may transmit the CDRX schedule to the UE.
