A UE may transmit to a base station, and the base station may receive from the UE, via an RRC message, an IDC interference indication. The IDC interference indication may be associated with at least one victim reception or at least one aggressor transmission. The IDC interference indication may include at least one of a first frequency range associated with the at least one victim reception, information associated with the at least one aggressor transmission, a first requested BWP associated with the at least one victim reception, or a second requested BWP associated with the at least one aggressor transmission. The base station may identify at least one interference mitigation measure based on the IDC interference indication. The UE and the base station may communicate based on the at least one interference mitigation measure.

Next level enhancements for 5G NR to improve UE performance

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may establish, by a first subscription of the UE, a connection to a first network entity using two transmit (Tx) chains of the UE. The UE may receive, by a second subscription of the UE, a paging message from a second network entity. The UE may receive, by the first subscription from the second subscription, a request for the first subscription to enter a mode that supports one Tx chain. The UE, by the first subscription, may reduce the two Tx chains to the one Tx chain for the first subscription. The UE may perform, by the second subscription to the second network entity, the connection setup based at least in part on the first subscription reducing the two Tx chains to the one Tx chain. Numerous other aspects are described.

Performing a connection setup based at least in part on a paging message

Aspects are provided which allow a UE to disable measurements of reference signals from 5G base stations which are inapplicable to EN-DC. The UE may receive a reference signal from a base station. The UE may identify a frequency range. The UE may determine whether to measure the reference signal based on whether the reference signal is within the identified frequency range. The UE may refrain from measuring the reference signal in response to the determination. The UE may also refrain from measuring the reference signal in response to a SIB received at the UE not including a ULI, or in response to a frequency associated with the reference signal not being in a list of supported bands for EN-DC. As a result, inter-RAT handovers from LTE base stations to 5G base stations are prevented, UE power consumption is thereby saved, and support for EN-DC is maintained.
