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.

Positioning enhancements for narrowband Internet of Things

A computer-readable storage medium stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a UE. The instructions configure the UE for small data transmission (SDT) in a 5G NR network and cause the UE to perform operations comprising detecting while in an RRC_Inactive state, a radio link failure during a first SDT of UL data to a base station. A secure key for a second SDT is generated based on the radio link failure. A configuration message including an indication of the second SDT is transmitted to the base station. A response message including a UL grant is received from the base station. The UL data is encoded for the second SDT using the secure key. The second SDT is performed using the UL grant while the UE is in the RRC_Inactive state.

Small data transmission (SDT) procedures and failure recovery during an inactive state

Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for facilitating a transmission, retransmission, and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process using preconfigured uplink resources (PUR) in IDLE mode. In some embodiments, user equipment (UE) may establish a first PUR and a second PUR to use in IDLE mode. The UE may transmit uplink data using the first PUR using a HARQ process. The UE may start a PUR retransmission timer and monitor a control channel for an acknowledgement message. The UE may identify an expiration of the PUR retransmission timer prior to receiving the acknowledgement message, and in response, may retransmit the uplink data using the second PUR.

Transmission, retransmission, and hybrid automatic repeat request process using preconfigured uplink resources in idle mode

Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs, for selecting radio link control (RLC) entities to transmit packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) control protocol data unit (PDU). In one aspect, the method includes actions of accessing, by a device in a wireless communication system, data representing an index of RLC entities of a data radio bearer (DRB)/PDCP entity and RLC activation state information, the activation state information indicating whether one or more RLC entities of the DRB/PDCP entity in the index of RLC entities is activated or deactivated, selecting, by the device in the wireless communication system, a subset of the RLC entities of the DRB/PDCP entity based on an index position in the index and the activation state information for each of the RLC entities, and using the selected subset of RLC entities of the DRB/PDCP entity to transmit the PDCP Control PDU.

PDCP duplication enhancements

A user equipment (UE) in idle mode may use a preconfigured uplink resource for transmission, retransmission, and/or hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). For example, the UE may store configuration data for a preconfigured uplink resource and a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) for idle mode communication. In idle mode, the UE generates an uplink transmission using the preconfigured uplink resource. After the uplink transmission, the UE starts a retransmission timer, and monitors physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with the RNTI provided in the configuration data for HARQ acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK).

Transmission, retransmission, and HARQ process for preconfigured uplink resource in idle mode

A circuit arrangement includes a preprocessing circuit configured to obtain context information related to a user location, a learning circuit configured to determine a predicted user movement based on context information related to a user location to obtain a predicted route and to determine predicted radio conditions along the predicted route, and a decision circuit configured to, based on the predicted radio conditions, identify one or more first areas expected to have a first type of radio conditions and one or more second areas expected to have a second type of radio conditions different from the first type of radio conditions and to control radio activity while traveling on the predicted route according to the one or more first areas and the one or more second areas.

Methods and devices for radio communications

Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs, for warning system notifications and acquisition. In one aspect, the method includes actions of receiving, by user equipment (UE) and from an access node, data indicating the presence of a PDSCH broadcast, configuring, by the UE and based on the received data, a narrowband (NB) to receive transport blocks in PDSCH, and receiving, by the UE, one or more transport blocks broadcast in PDSCH using the NB, the one or more transport blocks including the warning system information.

Notification and acquisition of ETWS/CMAS in connected mode for UEs in CE

A process for execution by user equipment (UE) for activation or deactivation of a Radio Link Control (RLC) entity for Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) duplication includes identifying a set of RLC entities that are configured by a Radio Resource Control (RRC) for communication using PDCP. The process includes, for each RLC entity of the set of RLC entities: determining a network configured offset value; determining a channel condition value; and determining an RLC entity level value based on a combination of the network configured offset value and the channel condition value. The process includes comparing the RLC entity level value for each RLC entity to a threshold value; and based on comparing the RLC entity level value to the threshold value, selecting a subset of RLC entities for PDCP duplication; and activating or deactivating PDCP duplication for the selected subset of RLC entities.

User equipment based packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) duplication activation and deactivation

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide techniques for reducing radio resource management (RRM) measurements and user equipment (UE) power consumption in a wireless cellular network. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Techniques to reduce radio resource management measurements and user equipment power consumption

Systems and methods of providing location techniques for a NB UE are described. The UE transmits, to 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.

Positioning enhancements for narrowband internet of things

Methods, systems, and storage media are provided for user equipment (UE) that supports enhanced coverage and may operate with a voice centric usage setting or a data centric usage setting. When the UE's usage setting is set to voice centric, the UE may not operate in coverage enhancement (CE) mode B. When the UE's usage setting is set to data centric, then the UE may operate in CE mode B. The UE may indicate the UE's usage setting in an Attach or Tracking Area Update (TAU) request message, and a mobility management entity (MME) may indicate to an evolved NodeB that CE mode B is restricted or not restricted based on the usage setting. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
