A method, an apparatus, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for receiving data and one or more redundant equivalent versions of the data from a remote user equipment (UE), buffering the data and the one or more redundant equivalent versions of the data, transmitting the data to a base station, receiving at least one negative acknowledgement, relating to the data, from the base station indicating an unsuccessful reception of the data; and transmitting, in response to receiving the at least one negative acknowledgement, at least one of the one or more redundant equivalent versions of the data to the base station.

Enhanced internet of things relay data re-transmission

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine that a reselection timer has an expiration time that is to extend an active period of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle; determine whether to extend the active period based at least in part on at least one of a set of serving cell measurements or a duration that the expiration time is to extend the active period; and selectively extend the active period or enter a sleep mode without extending the active period based at least in part on determining whether to extend the active period. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Selective extension of an active period of a DRX cycle for reselection

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. One technique includes identifying, by a user equipment (UE), a periodic time window for the UE to access a network, and transmitting an indication of the periodic time window to the network in a random access channel transmission. The technique also describes receiving, from the network based at least in part on the periodic time window, an indication of uplink resources allocated to the UE during the identified periodic time window. Another technique includes receiving, from a UE in a random access channel transmission, an indication of a periodic time window for the UE to access the network. The technique also includes determining, based at least in part on the periodic time window, uplink resources for the UE to access the network during instances of the identified periodic time window and transmit an indication of the uplink resources.

Enhanced random access and wake-up mechanism

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine whether at least one frequency band, designated for device-to-device communication of the user equipment, is associated with an active SCC of the user equipment; and selectively perform the device-to-device communication using a particular communication chain of the user equipment based at least in part on whether the at least one frequency band is associated with the active SCC, wherein the particular communication chain is tuned to the at least one frequency band for communication using the active SCC. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Techniques and apparatuses for device-to-device communication using an active secondary component carrier communication chain

A method and apparatus for efficiently performing measurements during a connected mode in a wireless communication system is disclosed. For example, the method and apparatus may include receiving, at a user equipment (UE), a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Reconfiguration message including a plurality of measurement objects from a network entity to identify frequencies during a measurement procedure; receiving, at the UE, one or more neighbor discovery expression messages, each neighbor discovery expression message including a neighbor measurement object and being received from a respective neighbor UE; determining, by the UE, whether the plurality of measurement objects of the RRC Reconfiguration message satisfy a measurement capability threshold; selecting, by the UE, a portion of the plurality of measurement objects of the RRC Reconfiguration message; and performing, by the UE, the measurement procedure for each measurement object of the portion of the plurality of measurement objects.

Techniques for efficient connected mode measurements in a new radio wireless communication system

One aspect of the present application provides a Category M apparatus that communicates over a communication network. The apparatus comprises a processor and an interface. The processor is configured to generate a message requesting registration of the apparatus with a core network, the message generated to include at least one header indicating a power saving mode capability of the apparatus. The processor is further configured to schedule sleep periods and wakeup times for the apparatus. The interface is configured to transmit the message to the core network. The interface is further configured to receive a response, from the core network, including one or more parameters and one or more timers established by the core network based at least in part on the power saving mode capability of the apparatus.

Methods and apparatus for negotiating network sip resources based on device capabilities

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive sensor information from a sensor associated with the user equipment, wherein the user equipment is in a deep sleep mode when the sensor information is received. The user equipment may deactivate the deep sleep mode, based at least in part on receiving the sensor information, to permit the user equipment to transmit or decode a network communication.

Deep sleep mode abort mechanism for machine-type communication devices

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The described techniques allow a user equipment (UE) to conserve power after transitioning from one coverage mode to another coverage mode based on power consumption estimates. The UE may make a determination on whether to modify its current extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) values by either triggering an unscheduled timing update or waiting for a scheduled timing update. For instance, the UE may estimate power consumption based on current eDRX values and the time remaining until a scheduled timing update procedure and compare this estimate to power consumption estimate based on modified eDRX values and the amount of power consumed to perform an unscheduled timing update procedure. Based on the comparison, the UE may update its eDRX values through an unscheduled TAU or through the regularly scheduled TAU procedure.
