Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to various methods to increase network coverage with respect to Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) sessions and/or other voice-based multimedia services. In particular, when establishing a voice session, two or more terminals may perform a codec negotiation to exchange information related to supported multimedia codecs and/or codec modes, jitter buffer management (JBM), and packet loss concealment (PLC) capabilities. Based on the exchanged information, a message may be sent to a base station to indicate the maximum packet loss rate (PLR) for each terminal. Additional techniques may ensure that the terminals use the most robust codecs or codec modes that are available when nearing the edge of coverage to help avoid unnecessary and/or excessive handovers to different radio access technologies.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for wireless communication at a base station with improved PBCH construction and decoding. The base station apparatus constructs a PBCH payload, wherein a bit location is selected for encoding a plurality of bits of the PBCH based on an estimated reliability for the corresponding bits location wherein the plurality of bits comprises frozen bits, unknown bits that are unknown to a user equipment, and potentially known bits that are potentially known by the user equipment. The apparatus transmits the PBCH payload in at least one of a plurality of SS blocks. A UE receiving the PBCH decodes the PBCH based on a successive decoding order. The successive decoding order may be based on an estimated reliability for the corresponding bits, e.g., in which potentially known bits are decoded prior to unknown bits.
