This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for sharing a maximum transmit power limit between a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. In one aspect, a wireless communication apparatus may reduce the maximum transmit power limit of a first uplink signal associated with the first RAT to obtain a first transmit power. The wireless communication apparatus may allocate a second transmit power remaining from the maximum transmit power limit to a second uplink signal associated with the second RAT. The wireless communication apparatus may reduce the maximum transmit power limit when the wireless communication apparatus is located at a cell edge, and a higher priority of the first RAT in relation to the second RAT may otherwise result in the second transmit power of the second uplink signal not satisfying a threshold.

Modifying transmit powers of uplink signals associated with different radio access technologies (RATs)

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.

Measurement disabling in frequency ranges

A user equipment (UE) configured for dual connectivity with a split bearer configuration may transmit uplink data packets to one or both a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG). The UE may transmit an uplink transmission from a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity over one or both of a first radio link control (RLC) entity associated with the MCG and a second RLC entity associated with the SCG. The configuration including a transmit buffer threshold. The UE may receive, at the PDCP entity, an uplink switch start indication. The UE may activate the second RLC entity in response to receiving the uplink switch start indication. The UE may transmit a buffer status report according to a current transmit buffer level plus the transmit buffer threshold. Accordingly, the UE may communicate with the SCG based on the uplink switch start indication.

Method and apparatus to switch uplink transmission on uplink split bearer

A user equipment (UE) may simulate transmissions received from a BS to perform on-device testing of the UE. For example, the UE may be configured to loopback uplink data from the UL data path and input the uplink data as simulated downlink data for processing in the DL data path. The uplink data may include data related to a video call or network diagnostics. The user application data generated by the application and proceeding through the UL data path may be used to validate the DL data path. Downlink control information (DCI) may be determined by the UE and provided to the DL data path to accompany the uplink data. The DCI may include simulated uplink grants and/or simulated downlink scheduling assignments. The simulated downlink scheduling assignments may be determined based on availability of the uplink data in the UE's memory.

On-device network simulation with user data loopback for device testing

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A receiving device may receive, at a first operational layer of the receiving device, one or more protocol data units (PDUs) within a set of PDUs. The receiving device may identify, at a second operational layer of the receiving device, a sequence gap associated with a missing PDU from the set of PDUs, the first operational layer being a lower operational layer of the receiving device than the second operational layer. The receiving device may determine, at the second operational layer, that a triggering condition associated with the missing PDU has occurred. The receiving device may provide, by the second operational layer and based at least in part on the triggering condition occurring, an indication to update a reception buffer of the first operational layer to a last received protocol data unit of the set of PDUs.

Methods to reduce radio link control retransmission

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to how to allocate transmission power for uplink transmissions on different component carriers.

Power allocation for uplink transmissions

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided that may help account for scenarios in which a transport block size (TBS) for a retransmission may be determined based on a first grant, while a number of resource blocks (RBs) assigned for the retransmission may be determined from a second grant.

Retransmission grant handling in a wireless communications system

Methods, systems, apparatus and computer program products are provided to improve synchronization of information units communicated in a wireless communication system. Timing misalignment in the transmission of adjacent information units can produce gaps or overlaps in the transmitted information. In a long-term evolution (LTE) wireless communication system, such gaps and overlaps can be eliminated or reduced by adjusting the lengths of a cyclic prefix portion of one or more transmitted symbols. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the disclosed subject matter. Therefore, it is to be understood that it should not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.

Timing adjustments in a communication system

A wireless communications method is provided. The method includes analyzing one or more channel conditions from a wireless communication and automatically adjusting a frequency tracking loop gain or a time tracking loop gain in view of the channel conditions.

Adaptive tracking steps for time and frequency tracking loops
