Abstract: This application provides a method for multiplexing uplink control information, and relates to the wireless communications field. When a resource of a first uplink control channel that carries first HARQ-ACK information does not overlap a resource of a second uplink control channel that carries second HARQ-ACK information in time domain, but a resource of a third uplink control channel that carries an SR/CSI overlaps both the resource of the first uplink control channel and the resource of the second uplink control channel in time domain, a base station and UE determine, based on a format of the first uplink control channel, a format of the second uplink control channel, and a format of the third uplink control channel, that third HARQ-ACK information and first UCI are multiplexed for transmission, where the third HARQ-ACK information is the first HARQ-ACK information or the second HARQ-ACK information.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for providing an emergency alert notification. An electronic communication device can receive, from an alert generation device, a low power advertising packet responsive to an action performed on the alert generation device. Before the action is performed, the alert generation device can be in a low power state, such as a sleep state, to conserve battery. The action can cause the alert generation device to transition from the low power state to a second state in which the alert generation device begins transmitting the advertising packet. The electronic communication device can identify at least one emergency contact to receive an alert based on a contact policy and can determine an alert type based on the contact policy. The electronic communication device can generate the alert including a request for assistance and can transmit the alert to the at least one emergency contact.

Abstract: Positioning of a user equipment (UE) is supported using reception points (RPs) that receive uplink sounding reference signals (SRS) from the UE. The RPs may measure signal strengths of received SRS that are used to determine path loss reference values that are provided to the UE for configurating subsequent SRS. The UE may report a plurality of RxTx time difference measurements with respect to a single PRS for the SRS transmitted to a plurality of RPs. The RPs may provide an Rx time for received SRS, which is used to generate a RxTx time different measurement for asymmetric round trip time (RTT) if the RP and TRP clocks are synchronized. The RPs may provide an RxRx time difference measurement for a time of reception of PRS and SRS if the RP and TRP clocks are synchronized. A location server determines a position of the UE using different positioning measurements.

Abstract: In a wireless communication network, a wireless network controller authenticates a wireless receiver and transfers receiver instructions and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for wireless network slices to the wireless receiver. An item wirelessly transmits a network identifier (ID) and a product ID. The wireless receiver wirelessly detects the network ID and the product ID from the item at a geographic location. The receiver selects an API for a wireless network slice based on the receiver instructions and the network ID. The receiver transfers an API call to the wireless network slice. The wireless network slice selects a distributed Application (dAPP) based on the network ID, the product ID, and/or the geographic location for the item. The wireless network slice transfers the network ID, the product ID, and the geographic location for the item to selected dAPP.

Abstract: A first base station receives from a second base station: a cell identifier of a cell of the second base station; and a second radio access network (RAN) area identifier of the cell. A packet for a wireless device in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state is received. A RAN paging message is sent to the second base station in response to receiving the packet. The RAN paging message is based on a first RAN area identifier of the first base station being identical to the second RAN area identifier.
