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.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for multiple timing advance offsets that may be used in communications between wireless devices on a wireless communications system. A first timing advance offset may be a fixed offset that has a predetermined value or is selected from a set of available predetermined values, and a second timing advance offset may be adjustable by a wireless device. The second timing advance offset may be used in cases where relatively large distances between wireless devices are present in a system, where certain fixed timing advances are used in addition to or irrespective of a receiving devices propagation delay, where one or more parent nodes have an associated timing reference, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: A system for providing full-duplex communications comprises a first transceiver for simultaneously transmitting first signals having a first orthogonal function applied thereto on a first channel and simultaneously receiving second signals having a second orthogonal function applied thereto at a same time. A second transceiver simultaneously receives the first signals having the first orthogonal function applied thereto on the first channel and simultaneously transmits the second signals having the second orthogonal function applied thereto at the same time. Application of the first orthogonal function to the first signals and application of the second orthogonal function to the second signals prevents interference between the first signals and the second signals.

Abstract: Embodiments of a network User Equipment (nUE), wearable User Equipment (wUE), and methods for sidelink communication are generally described herein. The nUE may transmit a control channel that allocates a subframe as either a downlink subframe or an uplink subframe for a sidelink communication between the nUE and a wearable User Equipment (wUE). When the control channel allocates the subframe as a downlink subframe, the nUE may contend for access to channel resources. The contention may include transmission of a transmitter resources acquisition and sounding (TAS) channel in a physical resource block (PRB) and an attempted detection of a receiver resources acquisition and sounding (RAS) channel from the wUE in the PRB. When the control channel allocates the subframe as an uplink subframe, the wUE may contend for access to the channel resources.

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.
