This disclosure relates to methods and devices for mitigating overheating in a user equipment device (UE). The UE is configured to communicate over each of LTE and 5G NR and may be configured to communicate through 5G NR over each of a Sub-6 GHz and a millimeter Wave (mmW) frequency band. The UE is configured to establish an ENDC connection with an enB and one or more gNBs. The UE implements intelligent transmission modification and cell measurement adjustments to mitigate overheating and reduce battery drain.

Smart mechanism to manage thermal impact in 5G NR

In an example method, a user equipment (UE) of a wireless network determines data for transmission between the UE and a base station (BS) of the wireless network; determines a context of the transmission of the data between the UE and the BS; selects, based on the context, one or more antenna elements of an antenna array of the UE; and forms one or more wireless beams using the one or more selected antenna elements. Further, the UE (i) transmits at least a first portion of the data to the BS using the one or more wireless beams, and/or (ii) receives at least a second portion of the data from the BS using the one or more wireless beams.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform negotiation of bearer type configuration and/or related parameters. A user equipment device (UE) and/or network may determine a bearer configuration and/or other parameters based on information or measurements of the UE. The UE and the BS may exchange data using a negotiated configuration.

Negotiation on bearer type configurations

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to prioritize cells that support EN-DC over similar cells not supporting EN-DC. The UE may be configured to perform one or more measurement scans associated with cell selection and/or cell re-selection and may determine whether at least two LTE cells meet a selection criteria based on RSRP and/or SNR measurements. The UE may be configured to, in response to determining that at least two LTE cells meet the selection criteria, prioritize a first LTE cell of the at least two LTE cells over a second LTE cell of the at least two LTE cells based, at least in part, on support EN-DC. The first LTE cell may indicate support of EN-DC, e.g., via a ULI IE included in a SIB2 broadcast by the first LTE cell. The UE may be configured to select the first LTE cell for camping.
