Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE), Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The UE may receive a SystemInformationBlockType1 from an eNB. The UE may determine that the eNB supports Fifth Generation Core (5GC) operation if the SystemInformationBlockType1 message includes a plmn-Identity-5GC-r15 parameter.

If it is determined that the eNB supports 5GC operation, and if the UE supports 5GC operation, the UE may encode the RRC connection request message in accordance with a default new radio packet data convergence protocol (NR PDCP) configuration; and may use NR PDCP for one or more subsequent messages.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for auto-discovery of port-to-port connectivity through correlative analysis on performance metrics. Statistical data corresponding to each port of routers and transport devices may be collected. The collected data may be processed such that missing data may be patched and time frames may be aligned. Statistical analysis may be performed on the collected data. Such statistical analysis may comprise generating a waveform based on the data and determining, e.g., correlations in the data. If the analyzed data of one port matches analyzed data of another port, the two ports may be determined to be connected to one another. A match may be based on meeting various criteria and/or thresholds.

Abstract: Methods and systems for selecting routes from among multiple media and/or optimizing transmission across those media are described. A minimum data rate may be determined for transmitting a content item. Based on that minimum data rate, a device may determine whether to transmit the content item via a given medium, select a different medium for transmission, or adjust transmission to compensate for unfavorable network conditions. A device may select a medium based on ranking one or more routes from a content source to a user device. Further, a device may determine a data rate for transmission based on calculating an expected time of transmission that includes time spent performing retransmissions at a given data rate.

Abstract: When a wireless communication system serves a UE over a connection according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and the connection encompasses a carrier in a first band (first-band carrier), the system decides of whether to configure for the UE's connection intra-band carrier aggregation by adding to the connection another first-band carrier or rather to configure for the UE's connection inter-band carrier aggregation by adding to the connection a second-band carrier, with the decision being based on a determination of whether (i) the other first-band carrier is usable in providing service under a second RAT different than the first RAT and (ii) the candidate second-band carrier is not usable in providing service under the second RAT. The system then configures carrier-aggregation in accordance with the decision.

Abstract: Techniques are discussed herein for supporting location of a user equipment (UE) with wireless access using a user plane (UP) location solution like SUPL. To locate the UE, an initial UP location session is established between the UE and a location server (LS) during which the LS requests location measurements from the UE. The UE obtains the location measurements by ending the location session and entering an idle state, after indicating this intent to the LS. The UE sends the location measurements to the LS by reentering a connected state and starting a new UP location session with the LS, which may be associated with the initial location session using common identification information. The techniques may be used for a UE with only a single RF chain (e.g. a UE that supports NB-IoT or other narrowband wireless access).
