Abstract: A wireless network may include a base station and user equipment (UE). The UE and base station may perform initial access operations at frequencies greater than or equal to 57 GHz without the use of transmit power control (TPC) signals. The UE devices and the base station may also perform connected mode operations at these frequencies without the use of TPC signals. The UE may perform power saving operations without the use of TPC signals. The base station may handle communications for multiple UE devices in its cell by partitioning the UE into groups based on the estimated path loss for each UE. The base station may perform TDMA, OFDMA, or a combination of TDMA/OFDMA scheduling for the UE devices. Performing these communications without TPC signaling maximizes the amount of network resources available for other purposes, simplifies communication scheduling, and maximizes the efficiency of the network.

Abstract: A testing device determines an Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of a wanted signal at a beam-peak direction and a maximum Total Radiated Power (TRP) of the wanted signal. The testing device then determines a power difference (?P) between the EIRP of the wanted signal at the beam-peak direction and the maximum TRP of the wanted signal. The testing device determines EIRP of a spectral emission mask (SEM) at each measurement bandwidth step at the beam-peak direction. The testing device then determines TRP at each measurement bandwidth step by determining a difference between the EIRP of the SEM at that measurement bandwidth step and the power difference (?P). The testing device compares the TRP at each measurement bandwidth step to a SEM specification, and reports whether the SEM specification has been met.

Abstract: User equipment may transmit and receive wireless signals to and from various communication networks. Furthermore, user equipment may indicate usage capabilities to the various wireless communication networks to enable the user equipment to transmit and/or receive wireless signals to and from at least two different communication networks. In particular, the user equipment may indicate usage capabilities of supporting both Frequency Range 2 (FR2) wireless signals of a fifth generation (5G) network and 7-24 gigahertz (GHz) wireless signals of a sixth generation (6G) network in an intermediate frequency range of the user equipment. The communication network(s) may then configure and/or schedule the user equipment based on the usage capabilities to enable the user equipment to simultaneously or non-simultaneously communicate using both the FR2 wireless signals and the 7-24 GHz wireless signals while preventing interference in the intermediate frequency range of the user equipment.

Abstract: User equipment that is capable of filtering for an irregular bandwidth of an allocated channel may send an indication of this capability to a network, which may then configure the channel to a next higher standard channel size, enabling the user equipment to filter this larger channel bandwidth to the irregular bandwidth. User equipment that is not capable of filtering for the irregular bandwidth may send an indication that it does not have this capability to the network, which may then configure the channel to a next lower standard channel size, thus avoiding the need for the user equipment to filter a larger channel bandwidth to the irregular bandwidth. In cases where the network detects that a blocking signal is not present that may interfere with the allocated channel, the network may configure the channel to the next higher standard channel size.

A wireless device, which comprises at least one antenna array each comprising a plurality of antenna elements may perform antenna scaling by activating or deactivating at least one of the plurality of antenna elements (with corresponding RF chains) of one or more antenna arrays. The wireless device may generate a power headroom (PHR) report based at least on a difference between beamforming gains obtained after the antenna scaling and before the antenna scaling. The wireless device may then send the PHR report to a base station in communication with the wireless device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to allocating a satellite band (e.g., a satellite channel) with a New Radio (NR) channel and at least one Long-Term Evolution (LTE) channel to enable a user equipment to communicate using a satellite network. The satellite band may be configured to include the NR channel positioned (e.g., placed) such that the NR channel is shifted away from an edge of the satellite band (e.g., not disposed or located at the edge of the satellite band) and/or in the middle (e.g., center) of the satellite band with respect to frequency. Additionally, the satellite band may be configured to include the at least one LTE channel positioned at one or both of outer edges of the satellite band (rather than the middle). Further, the NR channel may be placed within a carrier center frequency range to reduce allowed additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) values.

Abstract: An electronic device may transmit a communication request to a base station having an indication of a number of its receive branches and an indication of whether the communication request is designated as an urgent service fulfillment. The base station may delay a denial of the communication request until receiving the indication of whether the communication request is designated as using the urgent service fulfillment to reduce a likelihood of prematurely rejecting the communication request. The base station may also handover the communication request to a base station that supports the urgent service fulfillment. The base station may also be barred from transferring the user equipment to a frequency layer preferred by the base station when the communication request of the user equipment is designated as an urgent service fulfillment.

Abstract: A broadcast service network (separate from a cellular network) includes broadcast service signal (BSS) nodes that broadcast signals to receivers of user equipment (UE). The BSS may provide broadcast service information to user equipment, such as the emergency notifications, even when the user equipment is out of range of the cellular network. Further, the broadcast service signals may provide information that improves the user equipment's search and access time for connecting to the cellular network (e.g., a cellular service station) and/or that assists the user equipment in locating a nearby region of cellular network coverage. In addition, the BSS may be wake-up signals configured to activate the receiver when the receiver is in a sleep or inactive mode. In some embodiments, the BSS may be pointer signals configured to direct the user equipment to a broadcast service channel to receive the broadcast service information.

Abstract: A wireless communication network schedules multiple components carriers on a same frequency band to user equipment (UE) for transmitting wireless signals. The network may indicate to the UE when to use each carrier, and the UE my switch between transmitting on each carrier. The UE may transmit multiple different signals on each carrier. In particular, the UE may include a local oscillator (LO) that generates a first frequency of a first carrier, and couple the LO to the transmission paths when transmitting using the first carrier. The UE may then cause the LO to generate a second of a second carrier, and couple the LO to the transmission paths when transmitting using the second carrier. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may include a second LO that generates the second frequency, and couple the second LO to the transmission paths when transmitting using the second carrier.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to techniques for determining a maximum sensitivity degradation (MSD) value at a user equipment (UE), and sending the value to a network for scheduling a frequency band combination for uplink and/or downlink communication. The network configures the frequency band combination for the UE, and determines whether there may be potential interference when the UE uses the frequency band combination. If so, then the network sends an indication to the UE to deactivate uplink transmission. The UE then determines reference sensitivity (REFSENS) of its receiver when the network does not send a downlink transmission on the frequency band combination. The UE sets its transmitter to transmit with a predetermined (e.g., maximum) transmission power, sends uplink transmissions, and determines an interference power when operating using the frequency band combination. The UE then determines the MSD value based on the REFSENS and the interference power.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling uplink (UL) transmission power of a user equipment (UE) electronic device includes determining, using the UE electronic device, that a maximum power availability for a transmission between the UE and a wireless network node is not appropriate to current conditions. Based on the determination that maximum power availability is not appropriate the UE electronic device sends a request to the wireless network node to reduce power for communication with the wireless network node. Based on the request, the UE electronic device communicates at a reduced power level for communications with the wireless network node.
