Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may determine to enable orbital angular momentum (OAM) beamforming for communications with a user equipment (UE), for example, based on one or more communications parameters and receiving a message from the UE indicating a capability of the UE to use OAM beamforming. The base station may transmit control signaling to the UE indicating that OAM beamforming is enabled. In some examples, the base station may transmit control signaling indicating an OAM configuration, which may be for a same slot in which the control signaling is transmitted or a subsequent slot. The base station may transmit a downlink transmission to the UE via OAM beamforming. In some examples, the base station may estimate and correct misalignment associated with OAM beamforming. In some examples, the base station may disable OAM beamforming and transmit an indication that OAM beamforming is disabled.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide secure, end-to-end high-speed data encoding and communication. In certain embodiments, this is accomplished by modifying a header portion of a data packet received from a first device and complying with a one Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) protocol to create a modified data packet that complies with a faster MIPI protocol. The header portion of the modified data packet is validated during a tunnel mode operation using an error detection process to validate the modified data packet, which can then be securely transmitted to a second device that complies with the faster MIPI protocol.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a User Equipment (UE) in a cellular communications network receives a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling message from a base station communicatively coupled to the UE over a communications channel. The UE accesses a search space in the RRC signaling message. The UE identifies a fallback Downlink Control Information (DCI) Information Element (IE) included in the search space. The UE determines whether an aggregation factor is indicated in the fallback DCI IE for shared channel communications with the base station, over multiple slots in the communications channel. The UE determines an uplink/downlink (UL/DL) configuration for transmission on the communications channel. The UE schedules an aggregated transmission over multiple slots in the communications channel based on the aggregation factor and the uplink/downlink configuration.

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus for wireless communication comprises: a processing circuit configured to: determine whether a first user equipment satisfies a condition for performing direct link communication with a second user equipment by using an unlicensed frequency band resource; and if the condition is satisfied, control the first user equipment to perform direct link communication with the second user equipment by using the unlicensed frequency band resource.

Abstract: Techniques and systems for recovering a communication session from a dedicated bearer failure are disclosed. For example, a P-CSCF node can determine that a dedicated bearer associated with a communication session has failed, and, in response, send a SIP message to a UE associated with the communication session, the SIP message causing the UE to refrain from sending SIP requests using a SIP INVITE method. The process may further include identifying a first network node associated with an identifier of the UE, the first network node comprising one of a PGW or a SMF, and sending an instruction to the first network node to dissociate the dedicated bearer from the communication session. This causes a new attach procedure to be performed by the UE to recover the session without session failure.

Abstract: This application provides a minimization of drive tests (MDT) measurement solution, which may be used to implement an MDT measurement of a network device with an architecture in which a central unit (CU) entity and a distributed unit (DU) entity are separated. A centralized unit control plane (CU-CP) determines configuration information, and sends the configuration information to a centralized unit user plane (CU-UP) of the network device. The configuration information is used to perform an MDT measurement on a measurement object. The solution in this application may be applied to a communications system, for example, may be applied to a 5th generation (5G) network.

Abstract: A bandwidth resource switching method and apparatus are provided. When a network device sends bandwidth resource indication information to a terminal by using downlink control information, the network device may impose some constraints on uplink transmission mode-related configuration information or SRS-related configuration information on an indicated bandwidth resource, and other indication information carried in the downlink control information, so that no ambiguity occurs when the terminal parses the bandwidth resource indication information. Alternatively, when a side of a terminal receives bandwidth resource indication information sent by a network device by using downlink control information, the terminal parses, in an unambiguous interpretation manner, configuration information on a bandwidth resource indicated by the bandwidth resource indication information in the downlink control information.
