User equipment in close proximity may transfer data and control information. For example, the user equipment may exchange data or data sets between each other. Each user equipment can receive and transmit data using radio access technologies. A group of user equipments may include active user equipment and passive user equipment. Active user equipment connects with one or more base stations and transfers data on a wireless communication network via the base station. The active user equipment may communicate with other active user equipment and passive user equipment. Passive user equipment may not connect to any base station and/or the wireless communication network and may communicate with other passive user equipment and active user equipment (e.g., via a sidelink, peer-to-peer, or device-to-device channel).

Unified operation for user equipment groups

Formation of user equipment groups

Systems and methods for user equipment group management and control

This disclosure relates to techniques for reducing blind decoding of downlink control channels in a wireless communication system. The techniques may include determining whether a control channel pilot signal, such as a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) is present within a set of control carrier entities, and accordingly determining whether the downlink control channel is present within the set of control channel elements. In this manner, a number of candidates for blind decoding may be reduced.

NR control channel element detections to reduce blind demodulation and decoding

Cooperative communication for user equipment groups

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for determining a beam for communication between a user equipment and a base station. For example, angle of arrival estimates may be utilized for determining the beam for communication.

Sensor assisted beam tracking

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for to managing use of a satellite positions system (SPS) receiver in conjunction with one or more radio access technology (RAT) transmitters. In certain embodiments, a controller can be used to prioritize reception by the SPS receiver over transmission by the one or more RAT transmitters.

Coexistence management of GNSS and wireless operations

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for optimizing real time services (e.g., such as a voice over Long Term Evolution (LTE) (VoLTE)) for devices with limited communications resources, such as machine type communication (MTC) devices and enhanced MTC (eMTC) devices. In one aspect, a UE determines a first configuration of subframes within at least one radio frame available for the UE and other UEs to use for bundled communications with a BS. The UE receives an indication of one or more subframes within the at least one radio frame that are unavailable for bundled uplink transmissions, and determines a second configuration of subframes to use for bundled communications based on the indication. The UE overrides the first configuration of subframes with the second configuration of subframes, and communicates with the BS using the second configuration of subframes. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Volte optimizations for eMTC devices

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) utilizing enhanced carrier aggregation (eCA) may identify a limit to the number of channel state feedback (CSF) processes it is capable of supporting. The UE may transmit an indication of this limit to a base station, which may configure the UE for channel state reporting, and send channel state reporting triggers according to the indicated limit. The UE's determination of the limit to the number of CSF processes may be based on various transmit or receive antenna configurations. A single trigger may correspond to reports covering multiple subframes and/or component carriers. The base station may also arrange the channel state reporting configuration to reduce the peak number of channel state reports that the UE processes during each subframe. The UE may also determine that a number of channel state processes needed to support channel state reporting in a subframe exceeds its capacity. The UE may then prioritize the channel state processes and/or may transmit one or more non-current reports.

Channel state computation for enhanced carrier aggregation

Aspects of the present disclosure provide adaptive radio link monitoring for machine type communication(s) (MTC), enhanced MTC (eMTC), and/or narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT). In one aspect, a method is provided which may be performed by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes receiving a first configuration of parameters for receiving downlink control channel signaling, the first configuration of parameters associated with a first coverage level; measuring at least one parameter related to channel conditions; determining one or more dynamic radio link monitoring (RLM) threshold values for the at least one parameter based, at least in part, on the first configuration of parameters; and performing RLM functions based on the one or more dynamic RLM threshold values. The threshold may comprise early out thresholds that occur before out-of-sync (OOS) or in-sync thresholds. The thresholds may be determined using lookup tables.

Adaptive radio link monitoring

VoLTE optimizations for eMTC devices

Apparatus and methods for low power sensing of wireless access technologies are disclosed. In particular, a mobile wireless device, such as an access terminal, may utilize a lower power circuitry portion that operates at a lower power than active circuitry, such as a primary transceiver. The lower power circuitry portion includes a configurable searcher that is capable of sensing if signals of one or more various wireless access technologies are present. When the wireless device utilizes sleep or idle modes for power savings, use of the lower power sensing circuitry to sense the presence of wireless access technologies, rather than using an awoken higher power primary transceiver for sensing, affords increased power savings. An added ability of the lower power circuitry to be put into sleep or idles modes achieves even greater power savings.
