  • Patent number: 11805545
    Abstract: A network node is configured for transmitting a mobile-terminated early data transmission during a random-access procedure. The network node transmits a page having a contention-free preamble corresponding to an identity associated with a wireless device to be paged. The identity may be a Serving Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity, S-TMSI, or a resume identity that identifies a suspended Radio Resource Control, RRC, connection. The network node then receives, as part of the random-access procedure, a Msg1 transmission that includes the contention-free preamble. The network node next transmits, as part of the random-access procedure, a Msg2 transmission to the wireless device associated with the identity corresponding to the contention-free preamble. The Msg2 transmission includes a signaling message and downlink data.

  • Patent number: 11784702
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Devices in a wireless communications system using multiple transmission/reception points (TRPs) may provide information related to one or more default operating frequencies. A user equipment (UE) may receive a message indicating one or more default operating frequencies for each TRP of a set of TRPs. The UE may determine a priority of each TRP of the set of TRPs based on the respective default operating frequencies of the TRPs compared with a default operating frequency of the UE and may indicate the priorities to each TRP. Additionally, based on the default operating frequencies of the TRPs, the UE may select two or more TRPs of the set of TRPs that are suited for joint communications with the UE and may transmit an indication of the selected TRPs. The selected TRPs may coordinate joint communications over an ultra-wide bandwidth with the UE.
