Abstract: A base station may generate first configuration information to configure a first user equipment (“UE”) to operate using a first bandwidth within a wideband carrier of a cell, generate second configuration information to configure a second UE to operate using a second bandwidth within the wideband carrier of the cell, and cause transmission of the first and second configuration information to the first and second UEs, respectively.

Abstract: A system includes multiple (e.g., three) routing elements that receive packets from a gateway and route the packets to multiple core network nodes. In normal operation, the gateway is configured to transmit messages to the first two routing elements with equal priority, while the third routing element is associated with a lower priority and functions as a backup. When one of the first two routing elements experiences network issues or is unavailable, then the third routing element is activated by adjusting the corresponding priority. Implementing the third routing element as a standby or backup element provides both redundancy and flexibility in case either of the first two routing elements becomes unsuitable for transmissions. Furthermore, the third routing element can be quickly activated to ensure that network service is not significantly impacted while the network is being restored.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a serving cell (e.g., serving base station), an indication to update a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state of a first component carrier associated with a neighboring cell (e.g., neighboring base station). In some cases, the UE may be configured with a serving cell update rule and a neighboring cell update rule. The UE may determine, in accordance with a neighboring cell update rule, whether to update the TCI state across multiple component carriers (e.g., in a component carrier list) associated with the first component carrier based on the first component carrier being associated with the neighboring cell. The UE may update the TCI state of at least the first component carrier in accordance with the neighboring cell update rule.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a wideband bandwidth part (BWP) may be used for periodic communications bursts, and a user equipment (UE) may switch to a narrowband BWP between the communications bursts, which may provide reduced power consumption and reduced processing overhead at the UE. An end of burst indicator may be provided with the wideband BWP communications that indicates a timing for switching from the wideband BWP to the narrowband BWP. The end of burst indicator may be provided prior to a last downlink shared channel communication of the communications burst, and the UE may switch to the narrowband BWP upon completion of the last downlink shared channel communication. The UE may switch from the narrowband BWP to the wideband BWP for a subsequent communications burst autonomously or based on an explicit indication.

Abstract: The described technology is generally directed towards adaptively selecting a repetition level in wireless communications, based on events to improve coverage range via the repetition level while not unnecessarily reducing throughput. One such event can include a current signal-to-noise-ratio, e.g., as reported in a channel quality indicator report from a user equipment. Another such event can comprise a number of consecutive hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgments or negative acknowledgments (HARQ ACKS/NACKS), in which consecutive ACKs tend to indicate good signal quality, while consecutive NACKs tend to indicate poor signal quality. A combination of channel quality indicator-based adaptive repetition level and HARQ ACK/NACK-based adaptive repetition level can be employed.
