Abstract: Provided are a method for a terminal executing vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication to determine transmission power in a wireless communication system and a terminal utilizing the method. The method determines the transmission power necessary for a V2X transmission, and transmits a V2X signal to another terminal at the determined transmission power, wherein the transmission power for the V2X transmission is determined by means of a second parameter aggregation independent of a first parameter aggregation utilized when the terminal is transmitting a signal to a base station.

Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling the transmit power of a satellite by controlling a duty cycle associated with satellite transmission. In some implementations, a satellite network portal (SNP) may send waveforms to a satellite that relays the waveforms to user terminals (UTs). The SNP may control the duty cycle of the waveform transmission (e.g., by transmitting on a subset of a subframe) to thereby control an average transmission power of the satellite when the satellite transmits to the UTs. In some implementations, a satellite or UT may control the duty cycle of transmission by the satellite (e.g., by transmitting on a subset of a subframe) to thereby control an average transmission power of the satellite when the satellite transmits.

Abstract: A method and network entity for enabling higher order modulation (HOM) mode support for HOM capable wireless devices. The method includes determining a legacy mode power offset value for HOM mode capable wireless devices in legacy modulation mode and calculating a power headroom value for sending downlink data to the HOM mode capable wireless devices. When the power headroom value exceeds a threshold value, the HOM mode support for the HOM mode capable wireless devices is enabled using the identified legacy mode power offset value. When the power headroom value does not exceed the threshold value, and a HOM mode power offset value is available, the HOM mode power offset value being less than the legacy modulation mode power offset value, the HOM mode support for the HOM mode capable wireless devices is enabled using the HOM mode power offset value.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for mitigating paging collisions in mobile devices. When a new electronic Subscriber Identity Module (eSIM) is to be provisioned on a mobile device, International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) information associated with each of the SIMs/eSIMs currently installed on the mobile device is obtained and provided to a provisioning server.

The provisioning server provides the new eSIM to the mobile device, whereupon the mobile device installs the eSIM into the embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) for operation.
