A multi-universal subscriber identity module (MUSIM) user equipment (UE) is configured to stay synchronized with a network. The UE registers to a first network for the first SIM, registering to a second network for the second SIM, prior to the UE conducting a high priority activity related to the second SIM, sends, to the first network via a connection associated with the first SIM, a first message comprising an estimated time duration during which the UE conducts the high priority activity related to the second SIM, receives, from the first network, a second message indicating a time period during which the first network will retain a connection context for the connection associated with the first SIM in an RRC Inactive state and when the UE completes the high priority activity, determines the connection context of the first network for the connection associated with the first SIM.

Synchronization of RRC status of a multi-SIM user equipment with a base station

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for information forwarding via sidelink relays in wireless networks.

Information forwarding via sidelink relay

The exemplary embodiments relate to a computer readable storage medium, a user equipment, a method and an integrated circuit that perform operations. A user equipment (UE) enters into a first state including one of a non-dormant state or a dormant state with a secondary serving cell (SCell) of a network, the SCell being configured to provide either one of a non-dormant bandwidth part (BWP) as a secondary component carrier (SCC) in the non-dormant state or a dormant BWP as an SCC in the dormant state. The UE switches from the first state to a second state including the other one of the non-dormant state or the dormant state, the switch being based on network configuration, a dormancy timer, or a radio condition.

SCell dormancy reliability improvement

Techniques and devices for service-specific tagging of data by an application processor (AP) of a user equipment device (UE). A first indication may be sent from the UE to a baseband processor (BB) of the UE of one or more quality of service preferences for an upcoming data session, and the BB may configure one or more layers of the BB according to the quality of service preferences. The BB may further communicate with a network to establish protocols for the quality of service preferences. The BB may determine one or more network conditions, and may transmit feedback from the BB to the AP related to the determined network conditions. In response, the AP may send a second indication of one or more updated quality of service preferences to the BB based at least in part on the feedback received from the BB.

Methods for transmitting and receiving data in 5G NR device based on data/service tagging from application processor

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to discontinuous reception (DRX) transmission. Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a solution for DRX configurations for point-to-point (PTP) and/or point-to-multipoint (PTM) transmissions. In this solution, a user equipment (UE) maintains separate DRX configurations for PTP transmissions and PTM transmissions. During active time for the PTP transmissions, the UE monitors physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with a UE specific identifier. The UE monitors PDCCH with a PTM transmission specific identifier during active time for the PTM transmissions. In this way, it can match the MBS service quality mechanism. Moreover, it also saves power at the UE.

Discontinuous reception transmission

To accommodate a mix of high frequency carriers and lower frequency carriers, a protocol stack may include a radio link control (RLC) entity that allows configuration of status reporting control parameters on per carrier, or per subcarrier spacing. Alternatively, a protocol stack may include two RLC entities, one for handling high frequency carriers, and another for handling lower frequency carriers. (High frequency carriers and lower frequency carriers may be distinguished based on a frequency threshold.) Furthermore, a user equipment may transmit (to the network) an indication of its L2 buffer size. The network may configure the UE and/or control scheduling, to ensure the UE's L2 buffer does not overrun. Alternatively, the UE may indicate that it can support a percentage of a maximum buffer size. The network may configure the UE and/or control scheduling so that the UE's buffer occupancy does not exceed the percentage.

Handling high data rates in protocol stack when using high frequency spectrum

A method, user equipment (UE) and integrated circuit for receiving data transmitted over a wireless network. The method includes executing an application that receives data from the network, transmitting UE assistance information to the network, wherein the UE assistance information corresponds to a traffic pattern for the data that is received from the network for the application, entering a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state and receiving the data from the network while in the RRC inactive state.

Receiving data without monitoring control channel

Devices and associated methods for operating a dual-subscriber identity module (SIM) dual-standby (DSDS) user equipment device (UE) configured with a first SIM and a second SIM. The UE performs communications with a first cellular network using the first SIM and a first radio resource control (RRC) connection, and receives a request to perform a higher priority communication using the second SIM. In response to the request to perform the higher priority communication, the UE transmits a request to the first network to suspend the first RRC connection. After transmission of the request to suspend the first RRC connection, the UE receives a message from the first network to place the first RRC connection in an inactive state, and initiates a timer, wherein the timer is used to determine whether the first RRC connection remains in the inactive state or transitions to an idle state.

User equipment having multiple subscriber identity modules with improved suspend / resume operation

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for concatenating in the packet data convergence protocol sublayer or the service data adaptation sublayer in wireless networks.

Communication devices and methods for concatenating service data units

A user equipment (UE) is configured to enter a radio resource control (RRC) CONNECTED state on a first network using a first subscriber identification module (SIM) and an RRC INACTIVE or RRC IDLE state on a second network using a second SIM, transmit, to the first network, a request for a scheduling gap (SG) configuration, wherein, during a duration of the SG, the first network avoids scheduling resources for the UE, receive, from the first network, an indication of the SG configuration to be used, during the duration of the SG, tune away from the first network to perform operations on the second network and after the duration of the SG, tune back to the first network, wherein the RRC CONNECTED state is maintained on the first network during the duration of the SG.

Multi-SIM scheduling gaps

Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer programs for enhancing UE handover. In one aspect, the method can include obtaining a request for a handover event from a UE, wherein the request includes at least (i) a request for access to a primary cell group and (ii) data indicating capabilities of the UE, determining, based on the UE capabilities, that the UE is capable of maintaining communication with a secondary cell group of a base station during handover of the UE to the primary cell group of the first base station, generating based on the determined UE capability, a handover command that instructs the UE to maintain communication with the secondary cell group of the base station during handover of the UE to the primary cell group, encoding the generated handover command for transmission to the UE, and transmitting the generated handover command to the UE.

Handover without secondary cell group (SCG) change

Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE). The UE generates a first information for the UE for transmission to a network device. The first information is associated with a small data transmission (SDT) procedure in an inactive state of the UE. The UE obtains a first configuration information from the network device. The first configuration information is determined with reference to the first information. The UE determines whether to perform the SDT procedure in the inactive state according to the first configuration information. The UE, in response to determining to perform the SDT procedure in the inactive state, performs the SDT procedure in the inactive state according to the first configuration information.

Power saving for SDT procedure

A user equipment (UE) configured to receive a first cumulative acknowledgement (ACK) from a protocol stack of the UE at a first time, store the first cumulative ACK in a queue, receive a second cumulative ACK from the protocol stack at a second time, wherein the second time occurs after the first time, store the second cumulative ACK in the queue, discard the first cumulative ACK from the queue based on the second cumulative ACK being received after the first cumulative ACK and encapsulate the second cumulative ACK to form a radio link control (RLC) packet data unit (PDU) that is to be transmitted over the air.
