Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device may cooperate with a second device to form a virtual device configured to communicate with a radio access network. The virtual device may appear as a single device from the perspective of the radio access network. Subsequently, a third device may be identified for replacing the second device within the virtual device. Based on the third device being identified, procedures for handing over communications from the second device to the third device may be executed. The procedures may include a beam management procedure, a random-access procedure, a mobility management procedure, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Wireless networks may have thousands of configurable parameters, so manual tuning is infeasible. A self-organizing network (SON) can provide automation. However, automated algorithms are not designed to interact with a wireless network, and network experimentation can jeopardize reliability. To address the former, a SON facilitator of a wireless network management node exposes an API that can translate network configuration information for consumption by a SON enhancer, which may implement an AI algorithm for network tuning. The SON facilitator can also transform output from the SON enhancer into directions for controlling a test scenario, including generating a DL SON message describing the test to a UE. To further increase reliability during the test scenario, the UE can be provisioned with two wireless connections. A first connection is unchanged by the test scenario for stability, and a second connection is used for testing.

Abstract: User circuitry within a wireless User Equipment (“UE”) that may utilize multiple subscriber identity module (“SIM”) profiles activates two or more SIM profiles to be active simultaneously. The user circuitry transfers service requests for wireless data services using the SIM profiles to network circuitry. The wireless data services may have different slice service types over different operating frequency bands of different target cells. The network circuitry wirelessly exchanges data with wireless access nodes associated with the target cells over the operating frequency bands to establish packet data unit sessions comprising the slice service types using the respective SIM profiles such that multiple packet data unit sessions are active using multiple SIM profiles simultaneously. Various applications may be mapped to the appropriate SIM profile and packet data unit session based on the respective provisioned slice characteristics matching the respective application requirements.

Abstract: Systems and methods include an access layer to perform handovers for a User Equipment (UE) using a mobility status of the UE. A source access node (e.g., a femto cell, small cell, or a macro cell) establishes a first network connection with the UE. Based on a mobility status of the UE, the source access node selects either a small cell access node or a macro cell access node as a target node for connecting to the UE with a handover (e.g., by establishing a second network connection with the UE). The UE may have a medium mobility status or a high mobility status and, in response, be connected to the macro cell access cell for continuous connectivity. Alternatively, the UE may have the low mobility status and, in response, a signal strength analysis of the access nodes may be performed to select the target node for the handover.

Abstract: A system includes a user equipment (UE) traveling at least at a predetermined velocity. The UE is in RRC_INACTIVE state since time T. The system further includes at least a first base station and a second base station. The first base station receives an RRC_INACTIVE state message from the UE. The RRC_INACTIVE state message includes a location and a velocity of the UE, and a time-lapse, which is an elapsed duration since T.

In response to the UE being within range of the first base station, the first base station sends the paging message to the UE. In response to the UE being within range of the second base station, the first base station sends a request to the second base station to send the paging message to the UE.
