  • Patent number: 11089519
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may establish a packet data network (PDN)-connectivity session to a PDN using a cellular radio access technology (RAT) and migrate the PDN-connectivity session from a source access node (AN) to a target AN. Migration may initiate when a decision to perform a handover is made. The target AN may receive a network address and information about a first data radio link established between the UE and source AN. The target AN may establish a second data radio link with the UE based at least in part on the first data radio link information, and may transmit, to the PDN, a path update including the network address and an updated path via the target AN. In some cases, the target AN may forward packets between the UE and the PDN via the second data radio link.

  • Patent number: 11057868
    Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receives radio resource assignment information over a physical downlink control channel. The WTRU determines whether the radio resource assignment information is intended for the WTRU based on WTRU identity-masked (ID-masked) cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits. The WTRU determines whether the radio resource assignment information is for an uplink shared channel or a downlink shared channel. The WTRU utilizes the radio resource assignment information to transmit data over the uplink shared channel on a condition that the radio resource assignment information is determined to be for the uplink shared channel. The data is transmitted over the uplink shared channel a predetermined number of time slots after reception of the radio resource assignment information.
