Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for using situational information to aid in beam-based communications between a first user equipment (UE) and a network entity. The first UE may collect data at one or more sensors and may generate the situational information using the collected data. The first UE may then use the situational information in a beam selection procedure to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with the network entity. The first UE may also transmit the situational information to the network entity in a beam management report, and the network entity may use the situational information to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with the first UE. In some cases, the network entity may also use the situational information to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with a second UE associated with the first UE.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to uplink control information for beam selection in the multiple transmission points. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a network device determines the beam selection type based on the communication quality required for the network device and a further network device. The network device transmits the information of the beam selection type to a terminal device. The terminal device receives reference signals based on the beam selection type and performs a beam measurement based on the references signals. The terminal device selects a target transmitting beam from a plurality of transmitting beams of the further network device and transmits identities of the selected transmitting beam to the network device or the further network device. In this way, a proper transmitting beam can be selected based on the required communication quality. The latency is shortened and the transmission overhead is reduced.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for uplink quality enhancement. Methods include experiencing a triggering condition at a wireless device in a network and identifying at least one additional wireless device in the network within a threshold proximity to the wireless device experiencing the triggering condition. The method additionally includes forming a group with the at least one additional wireless device using a communication link and pooling uplink resources with the at least one additional wireless device to improve uplink performance of the wireless device experiencing the triggering condition.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a capability report to a base station indicating a triggering offset. The base station may configure the UE with one or more channel state information (CSI) measurement resources and send downlink control information (DCI) that triggers an aperiodic CSI report for some of the CSI measurement resources. The UE may report CSI by measuring the CSI resources after the triggering offset. In some cases, CSI reporting related to the different codebook types (e. g., Type I, Type II) may be modified, where after identifying a type of codebook and determining which type of codebook to process (e. g., based on a number of CSI processing units), the UE may identify a priority associated with different CSI reports. The UE may be configured with various parameters that relax or modify the processing of Type II CSI reports.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can receive a first data stream and a second data stream; store data units of the second data stream, as stored data units, in a buffer while a retransmission operation is performed for the first data stream; determine that a threshold is satisfied with regard to the buffer, wherein the threshold is associated with a counter that is maintained based on the storing of the data units; and provide the stored data units based on determining that the threshold is satisfied.

Abstract: In operation, packets traverse the packet processing data structure, and the network processing represented by each object in the data structure is applied to each packet. From time to time, the packet processing data structure may need to be updated. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for lock-free updating of a packet processing data structure by means of epoch-based garbage collection. In embodiments, a particular past packet processing epoch is considered to be no longer referenced by any cores when the sequence numbers recorded in each said memory location are different to the sequence number of that particular past packet processing epoch. The deletion thread checks both whether a past epoch is being referenced by any packets and whether it is being reference by any cores. Thus memory is safely freed without having any impact on any packet processing which may be occurring in parallel to the deletion thread.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for control signaling for SIC operation in 2-codeword operating mode. The apparatus transmits, to a network entity, a SIC capability indication comprising an indication that the UE supports a SIC operation for 2-CW allocation and an order of processing a first codeword and a second codeword. The apparatus monitors for an ACK to enable the SIC operation between the UE and the network entity. The apparatus receives downlink communication based on the SIC operation in response to receiving the ACK to enable the SIC operation. The apparatus may process the first codeword, within the downlink communication, transmitted based on a first MCS. The apparatus may cancel interference from the downlink communication based on the first codeword to obtain the second codeword, within the downlink communication, transmitted based on a second MCS.

Abstract: In response to receiving from a source RAN node (2), on a direct interface (101), a message requesting a handover of a radio terminal (1) from a first network to a second network, a target RAN node (3) receives at least one of slice information and flow information from a core network (5), and controls communication of the radio terminal (1) based on at least one of the slice information and the flow information. The slice information relates to a network slice in the second network. The flow information relates to at least one session to be established in the second network, serving as a bearer-less network, in order to transfer at least one packet flow of the radio terminal (1). It is thus possible, for example, to provide an Inter-RAT handover procedure involving transfer of handover signaling messages on a direct inter-base-station interface.
