Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing authorization revocation for unmanned aerial vehicles. A cellular network element of a cellular network may receive a request to revoke authorization of a wireless device that is an element in an unmanned aerial system. The cellular network element may provide an indication to the wireless device to disconnect from any other elements of the unmanned aerial system based at least in part on the request to revoke authorization.

Authorization revocation for unmanned aerial vehicles

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 user equipments and network components performing or assisting in packet filtering operations.

Technologies for packet filtering for protocol data unit sessions

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

Techniques discussed herein can facilitate inactive state transmissions for a Base Station (BS) via a 4-step or 2-step inactive state RACH process. One example aspect is a BS including communication circuitry and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the communication circuitry and configured to cause the BS to transmit a radio link quality threshold and an uplink data size for a Radio Resource Control (RRC) inactive data transmission. Receive a Random Access Channel (RACH) preamble in response to the radio link quality threshold and the uplink data size being satisfied. Receive the RRC inactive data transmission, and transmit a RACH message in response to receiving the RRC inactive data transmission.

Systems and methods for providing random access channel (RACH) signaling to user equipment (UE) during inactive direct transmissions

A user equipment (UE) includes a first subscriber identification module (SIM) and a second SIM. The UE is configured to establish a first cellular network connection based on, at least, the first SIM and a second cellular network connection based on, at least, the second SIM. The UE sends, by the first SIM, a first registration request to the network, wherein the first registration request comprises an identification indicating the multi-SIM device is a type of multi-SIM device, receives, by the first SIM, a first registration accept message indicating the first registration request has been accepted, wherein the first registration accept message comprises a first temporary identification for the first SIM and sends, by the second SIM, an access network message comprising one of the first temporary identification or a further temporary identification based on, at least, the first temporary identification.

Control plane for multi-SIM devices

A remote user equipment (UE) configured to access a network via one of a direct link with a base station or a relay link with a relay UE performs a method including receiving link selection criteria, the link selection criteria configured by the network, identifying that the relay UE is available for camping, selecting the relay UE based on the link selection criteria, camping on the relay link corresponding to the relay UE and initiating a network access procedure via the relay link.

Link selection for an idle or inactive user equipment

A user equipment (UE) device including an antenna, a memory, an RF circuitry commutatively coupled to the antenna, and a processor configured to perform operations is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the operations include receiving the one or more pre-configured grant (pre-CG) configurations for an RRC_INACTIVE state from a network node. The one or more pre-CG configurations are for an initial data transmission when the UE is in the RRC_INACTIVE state. The operations also include performing, while the UE is in the RRC_INACTIVE state, the initial data transmission using a pre-CG resource based on the received one or more pre-CG configurations. Each of the one or more pre-CG configurations includes a configuration of the pre-CG resource and one or more conditions to use the pre-CG resource. The one or more conditions to use the pre-CG resource include one or more of an access type, a transmission priority, a mapped Logical Channel (LCH)/Dedicated Radio Bearer (DRB)/Quality of Service (QoS) flow, and a valid timing advance (TA).

Methods and apparatus for inactive state initial uplink transmission using pre-configured grant at a user equipment in wireless communication

A method and apparatus of a device that communicates data between a user equipment (UE) device and a base station when the user equipment is in the inactive state is described. In some embodiments, the last serving base station of the UE and the new base station of the UE coordinate with each other to complete the transfer of data while the UE is in the inactive state.

Context fetch procedure for inactive direct data transmission

This disclosure relates to techniques for performing radio resource control procedures for remote wireless devices in a wireless communication system. A remote wireless device may transmit a radio resource control message that includes information configured to be relayed to a cellular base station to a relay wireless device, which may relay the information to the cellular base station. The cellular base station may also transmit a radio resource control message that includes information configured to be relayed to the remote wireless device to the relay wireless device, which may relay the information to the remote wireless device.

Radio resource control connection procedures for remote wireless devices

A base station may operate in a context where the propagation delay between the base station and user equipment (UE) devices is large. The base station configures UE devices with a common delay. The base station receives a random access preamble from a UE device. The base station determines a time slot in which the random access preamble was transmitted, based on a configured correspondence between allowable time slots and subsets of an available set of preambles. The base station computes a Random Access Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI) based on parameter values including an index, of the determined time slot. The base station employs the computed RA-RNTI to address a random access response for the UE device.

Resolution of mismatch in calculation of random access radio network temporary identifier

A user equipment (UE) device may reside in a state of dual connectivity with a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG), wherein the radio access technologies of the MCG and the SCG are different. While in the dual connectivity state, the UE device may transition to a mode of reduced activity (e.g., processing and/or RF activity) relative to the secondary cell group (SCG) in order to save power, e.g., when traffic flow via the SCG is below a threshold, or when scheduling activity on the SCG is low. Various mechanisms may be employed to reduce activity, e.g., mechanisms such as reduction of beam monitoring, deactivation of secondary cells of the SCG, reduction of number of active antenna elements, employment of longer periods for periodic measurement and reporting processes, etc.

Traffic-rate based branch deactivation for UE power efficiency in a dual-connectivity mode

A base station associated with a wireless communication system is disclosed. The base station comprises one or more processors configured to generate a service configuration signal to be provided to a user equipment (UE) associated therewith. In some embodiments, the service configuration signal comprises an indication of one or more service configurations associated with a data transmission that are allowed to be transmitted by the UE during an INACTIVE state of the UE. In some embodiments, the one or more processors is further configured to provide the service configuration signal to the UE.

Base station access control techniques for inactive direct transmission

Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) and/or cellular network to perform to perform capability updates. Under at least some circumstances, the UE may use a non-cellular (e.g., non-3GPP) access to transmit updated capability information to a cellular network. Elements of the core of the cellular network may provide an identifier corresponding to the updated capability information to the UE for use in future registrations with the cellular network. Further, the core network may provide the updated capability information to a cellular radio access network associated the cellular network. The UE and the cellular network may communicate according to the updated capability.
