Systems and methods of increasing paging opportunities when the unlicensed band is used are described. The gNB sends an RRC message that indicates multiple monitoring occasions in a paging occasion of a paging frame. The UE monitors a monitoring occasion of a PO to determine whether a PDCCH with a P-RNTI has been received in an unlicensed band. If such a PDCCH is received, the UE decodes PD SCH information in the PDCCH to determine whether the P-RNTI is a P-RNTI of the UE. If so, the UE avoids monitoring subsequent monitoring occasions of the PO. If the PDCCH does not contain a P-RNTI, the UE continues to monitor other monitoring occasions within the PO.

UE paging in NR unlicensed spectrum

Systems and methods of in-sync/out-of-sync (IS/OOS) determination in the unlicensed band are described. Reference signals are measured on the unlicensed band. If the UE determines that at least one of the reference signals is missing, the IS/OOS condition is evaluated on that basis. If the missing signals are ignored when determining the IS/OOS condition, and the IS/OOS condition is unable to evaluated, the L1 sends an indication to the RRC layer. If the number of indications exceeds a threshold, the UE performs re-establishment or sends a report to the base station for adjustment of the reference signal resources. If the missing signals are counted, the missing signals are weighted based on proximity to the noise floor or a number of adjacent signals that are missing.

Radio link monitoring and failure for new radio-unlicensed operation

Systems and methods of providing UE capability are described. A capability ID is associated with the same Radio Capability information for multiple UEs. If the capability ID is validated at a network node, the UE provides the capability ID to a RAN node, which obtains the capability information from the network node after providing the received capability ID to the RAN node. The capability ID is received in an RRC Setup Complete. Security Mode Complete or Reconfiguration Complete message. The network node, if the Radio Capability information is not available, requests and receives the Radio Capability information and associates it with the capability ID, and marks that the capability ID as not validated until a threshold number of the UEs have provided the same Radio Capability information. The capability ID is based on a UE device type, manufacturer and software version.

UE capability transfer and storage

An approach is described for a user equipment (UE) to provide vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication in a 5G new radio (NR) network. The UE includes processor circuitry that mode switches between two modes of resource allocation for the V2X communication, the two modes being a first mode and a second mode, wherein the first mode is a network scheduled resource allocation mode, and the second mode is a UE autonomous resource allocation mode. The UE also includes radio front end circuitry that communicates with a second UE using a V2X sidelink in the first mode or the second mode.

Methods for simultaneous support of and switching between scheduled and UE autonomous resource selection modes for NR V2X sidelink

Embodiments of a generation Node-B (gNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. The gNB may receive, from the UE, a first measurement report that indicates a first signal quality measurement based on new radio synchronization signals (NR-SS). The gNB may determine, based on reception of the first measurement report, a transmission direction for transmission of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) for a second RRM measurement at the UE based on the CSI-RS. The gNB may receive, from the UE, a second measurement report that indicates a second signal quality measurement based on the CSI-RS. The gNB may determine, based at least partly on the first and second signal quality measurements, whether to initiate a handover of the UE from a serving cell to a neighbor cell.

Generation node-B (GNB), user equipment (UE) and methods for handover in new radio (NR) systems

Logic may receive an initial communication from a user device, the initial communication comprising capabilities. Logic may determine, based on an indication of a capability to support new radio frequency layers from the capabilities for the user device, a measurement gap configuration for the new radio frequency layers and a measurement gap configuration for a channel state information reference signal. Logic may send a frame with a preamble to a physical layer comprising the measurement gap configuration. Logic may send an initial communication to a physical layer, wherein the initial communication comprises capabilities for a user device. Logic may decode downlink data with a measurement gap configuration. And logic may parse the measurement gap configuration to determine at least one measurement gap identification and at least one offset for the new radio frequency layers and a channel state information reference signal.

Methods and arrangements for measurement gap configuration

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive, from a gNB, configuration information related to a 2-step random access (RA) procedure between the UE and the gNB in unlicensed spectrum. The 2-step RA procedure may include: an uplink MsgA message that includes, within a random access occasion (RO), a MsgA preamble and a MsgA payload; and a downlink MsgB message that includes, within another RO, a MsgB PDCCH and a MsgB payload. The configuration information may indicate: resources allocated for the MsgA preamble; and a mapping between the resources allocated for the MsgA preamble and the MsgA payload. The UE may determine the resources allocated for the MsgA pay load based on the resources allocated for the MsgA preamble and the mapping.

Allocation of resources for preamble and payload of messages in a 2-step random access (RA) procedure in new radio (NR) systems

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to service function chaining in wireless networks. A communications system may include a communication control function to select one or multiple communication service functions associated with establishing service function chaining (SFC) services for telecommunications; a service orchestration and chaining function (SOCF) to establish the SFC services; and a service orchestration exposure function (SOEF) to expose the SFC services to an application function (AF) of the system.

Enhanced service function chaining in next generation cellular networks

Systems and methods of increasing paging opportunities when the unlicensed band is used are described. The gNB sends an RRC message that indicates multiple monitoring occasions in a paging occasion of a paging frame. The UE monitors a monitoring occasion of a PO to determine whether a PDCCH with a P-RNTI has been received in an unlicensed band. If such a PDCCH is received, the UE decodes PDSCH information in the PDCCH to determine whether the P-RNTI is a P-RNTI of the UE. If so, the UE avoids monitoring subsequent monitoring occasions of the PO. If the PDCCH does not contain a P-RNTI, the UE continues to monitor other monitoring occasions within the PO.

This disclosure relates to embodiments New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. Some of embodiments generate system information block (SIB) messages having configurations for V2X communication modes, and transmit the SIB messages to a user equipment (UE). V2X communication modes include unicast, groupcast and broadcast modes. An example configuration includes a sidelink communication using a V2X communication mode.

System information design for new radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) sidelink operation

Embodiments of a next generation Node-B (gNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for communication are generally described herein. A gNB may be configurable to operate as a master gNB (MgNB). The MgNB may transmit radio-resource control (RRC) signaling to provide information for dual connectivity to allow the UE to utilize radio resources of both a master cell group (MCG) associated with the MgNB and a secondary cell group (SCG) associated with a secondary gNB (SgNB). The MgNB may transmit, to the SgNB, an SgNB release request message that indicates a partial suspension of the dual connectivity, wherein: a first portion of a configuration for the SCG is to be maintained and a second portion of the configuration for the SCG is to be released.

Apparatus of GNB to enable an inactive mode in dual connectivity

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to configure a set of resources for New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) transmission over sidelink for communication with one or more other UEs, and to allocate the resources for transmitting one or more packets from an NR network to the one or more other UEs via the sidelink. The apparatus can include a memory to store the configuration of resources.

Resource allocation and configuration for broadcast and unicast operation over sidelink for NR V2X

A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component) can process or generate a one-step paging reception or a two-step paging reception based on being in a sub-state of an idle mode. A UE can enter into an idle state to enable a decreased power consumption of battery, and further reduce power consumption by only monitoring a PDCCH in response to operating in a camped on any cell state, and eliminate processing a paging message when in the camped on any cell state.

Paging reception for user equipment in idle and inactive state

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) to support dual-connectivity with a Master Evolved Node-B (MeNB) and a Secondary eNB (SeNB) are disclosed herein. The UE may receive downlink traffic packets from the MeNB and from the SeNB as part of a split data radio bearer (DRB). At least a portion of control functionality for the split DRB may be performed at each of the MeNB and the SeNB. The UE may receive an uplink eNB indicator for an uplink eNB to which the UE is to transmit uplink traffic packets as part of the split DRB. Based at least partly on the uplink eNB indicator, the UE may transmit uplink traffic packets to the uplink eNB as part of the split DRB. The uplink eNB may be selected from a group that includes the MeNB and the SeNB.

User equipment and methods of bearer operation for carrier aggregation

An apparatus and system to provide a federated learning scheme between a RAN and connected UEs are described. A gNB-DU, gNB-CU, or LMF acts as a central server that selects an AI/ML model, trains the AI/ML model, and transmits the AI/ML model to UEs. The UEs act as local nodes that each send a model request to the central server, receive the AI/ML model in response to the request, trains the AI/ML model locally with data, and report updated parameters to the central server. The central server aggregates parameters from the local nodes and updates the AI/ML model.
