Abstract: A network node is configured for transmitting a mobile-terminated early data transmission during a random-access procedure. The network node transmits a page having a contention-free preamble corresponding to an identity associated with a wireless device to be paged. The identity may be a Serving Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity, S-TMSI, or a resume identity that identifies a suspended Radio Resource Control, RRC, connection. The network node then receives, as part of the random-access procedure, a Msg1 transmission that includes the contention-free preamble. The network node next transmits, as part of the random-access procedure, a Msg2 transmission to the wireless device associated with the identity corresponding to the contention-free preamble. The Msg2 transmission includes a signaling message and downlink data.

Abstract: Example multi-connectivity communication methods and apparatus are described. In one example method, an access network device of a first network determines to use an access network device of a second network to perform data splitting for data of UE. Then, the access network device of the first network sends first splitting configuration information to the UE and sends second splitting configuration information to the access network device of the second network. The first splitting configuration information is used to notify the UE that the access network device of the second network is to split to-be-split data of the UE. The second splitting configuration information is used to instruct the access network device of the second network to split the to-be-split data of the UE.

Abstract: Methods for a target node to establish a connection with a user equipment (UE) operating in dual connectivity (DC) with a primary cell (PCell) served by a master node and with a primary secondary cell (PSCell) served by a secondary node. The methods include receiving, from the UE, a re-establishment request message comprising parameters associated with the PSCell, a message authentication code, and an indication of the UE's selection of a target cell served by the target node as a replacement for the PCell, which utilizes a first radio access technology (RAT).

The methods include, based on the parameters associated with the PSCell, determining a full UE context for the UE, and establishing a connection with the UE based on the full UE context, whereby the target cell will serve as a PCell for DC.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Devices in a wireless communications system using multiple transmission/reception points (TRPs) may provide information related to one or more default operating frequencies. A user equipment (UE) may receive a message indicating one or more default operating frequencies for each TRP of a set of TRPs. The UE may determine a priority of each TRP of the set of TRPs based on the respective default operating frequencies of the TRPs compared with a default operating frequency of the UE and may indicate the priorities to each TRP. Additionally, based on the default operating frequencies of the TRPs, the UE may select two or more TRPs of the set of TRPs that are suited for joint communications with the UE and may transmit an indication of the selected TRPs. The selected TRPs may coordinate joint communications over an ultra-wide bandwidth with the UE.

The UE may signal the UAI to a network entity along with an indication of the CG to which the UAI is to be applied.

Abstract: The methods, devices, and systems discussed herein describe four different mechanisms (e.g., solutions) to assist a leader of a group of wireless communication devices in deciding when to switch between groupcast and unicast transmissions. In the first solution, the group leader may decide to initiate groupcast or unicast without considering the design of the Access Stratum (AS) layer link management. In the second solution, the group leader can determine whether to initiate unicast transmission based, at least partially, on feedback messages received from one or more other members of the group. In the third solution, the group leader has the option to simultaneously transmit groupcast and unicast transmissions towards the same user equipment devices (UEs). In the fourth solution, the group leader indicates to the groupcast-receiving UEs that the transmission is about to be switched from groupcast to unicast.
