Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling for communications in a wireless communications system. The control signaling may indicate a first duration for an inactivity timer. The UE may initiate the inactivity timer and a second timer based on identifying a period of inactivity. The second timer may have a second duration that is shorter than the first duration for the inactivity timer. In some examples, the second duration may be based on one or more parameters, such as a display status, a battery status, a scaling factor, the first duration, an application state, or any combination thereof. The UE may release a connection for the communications in the wireless communications system based on an expiration of the second timer, an expiration of the inactivity timer, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Blockchain validation is provided by receiving a first validation request of a blockchain. A hashing algorithm is applied to a first block of the blockchain to generate a first hash value. In response to the first validation request of the blockchain, a first image from a plurality of images is provided on a display device. The first image is selected to be provided for display on the display device based on the first hash value. The first image may be compared to a second image that was provided for display on the display device prior to the first validation request and that image was provided based on a second hash value to determine whether the first image and the second image are substantially similar, which indicates that no changes have been made to the data in the blockchain.

Abstract: Adaptive packet scheduling for interference mitigation is disclosed. Current spectral information can be compared to historical spectral information to determine a likelihood of a future interference event. Based on the furfure interference event, a data frame can be adapted to mitigate the effect of the future interference event on wireless communication. The interference event can be related to an unintentional interference source that can have distinct interference characteristics distinguishing it from an intentional interference source. Comparison can be facilitated by a data store storing historical interference information related to one or more historical interference events.

Abstract: A method for determining and providing upstream directives in real-time communication over a wireless network is performed by an RTC/RTE application running on a mobile device and an access point application running on a Wi-Fi access point. The access point application determines the values of a set of upstream Wi-Fi signal quality parameters including at least one of an upstream RSSI parameter, an upstream SNR parameter, an upstream link speed parameter, and an upstream remaining bandwidth parameter of the mobile device. Each value is compared to a set of upstream thresholds to derive an upstream Wi-Fi connection quality measure. Each set of upstream thresholds includes at least two different values. The RTC/RTE application determines an upstream directive from the upstream Wi-Fi connection quality measure, and presents the upstream directive to a user in an audio or video form.

Abstract: Airtime network policies for quarantined station network policies are stored in a database for application to quarantined stations. Quarantined stations are moved from a first VLAN to a quarantine VLAN with a dedicated BSSID on the Wi-Fi communication network. An RU airtime allocation module of the access point allocates airtime RUs for suppression of some or all transmissions from the quarantined stations. The airtime RU allocation module determines an amount of RUs for access to airtime on a Wi-Fi communications network, based on a network policy that limits an amount of airtime allowed by quarantined stations.

Abstract: Methods are provided for enabling network operators to play a key role in allowing Cellular Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to recharge batteries based on RF parameters and/or a class of service the UAVs provide to users/customers. For example, a particular mobile network operator (MNO) has a UAV charging station deployed in it leased towers where it has base stations (eNB/gNB) deployed. The MNO can provide charging as a service to the UAVs. When more than one drone is requesting a charge, the MNO can prioritize which UAV has the highest priority. In some aspects, the MNO can prioritize the UAVs for charging based on a Quality of Service identifier. Additionally or alternatively, the MNO can prioritize the UAVs for charging based on a Network Slice Selection Assistance Information indicator.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for using layer one (L1) or layer two (L2) signaling to indicate a primary cell (PCell) or primary secondary cell (PSCell) to a user equipment (UE). The use of L1 or L2 signaling to indicate a PCell or PSCell may be referred to as L1 or L2 mobility and may lower the latency at the UE associated with transitioning to communicating with the PCell or PSCell. A UE may receive radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a base station indicating a set of cells configured for L1 or L2 mobility and indicating a list of candidate cells for a PCell or PSCell. The UE may then receive L1/L2 signaling from the base station identifying the PCell or indicating activation of the PSCell.

The method receives an indication that indicates whether to resume transmission of the first uplink data TB. The method determines to resume the transmission of the first uplink TB based on the indication.

Abstract: Provided are an address coordination method and device, a base station, a session management function (SMF) network element and a storage medium. In a handover process of a terminal from a source base station side to a target base station side, a UPF split state of a PDU session of the terminal may be determined and data transmission tunnel address coordination may be implemented, thereby enhancing flexibility of split control of the PDU session in the handover process of the terminal, preventing the target base station side from executing PDU session resource modify/modification indication and other processes again to perform the data transmission tunnel address coordination after the terminal completes the handover. Resource admission control efficiency of the target base station side can be improved, so that the PDU session enters a reasonable state of UPF split or UPF non-split, and signaling resources can be saved.

In response to the detected wireless interference, the communication management resource determines a group of the multiple communication devices receiving data of a particular type from the wireless base station. To reduce the wireless interference, the wireless base station notifies the communication devices in the group to operate in a device-to-device communication mode as an alternative path of conveying the particular type of data to the group of communication devices.
