Abstract: In an embodiment, a UE receives a first uplink grant for a first RAT (e.g., 5G NR) and a second uplink grant for a second RAT (e.g., LTE). In one embodiment, the UE schedules an uplink transmission on the first RAT (e.g., by selectively dropping the uplink transmission on particular resource blocks) so as to manage an amount of time that is based on concurrent uplink transmissions on both the first and second RATs are performed. In another embodiment, the UE establishes a first period of time where a BSR transmitted by the UE on the first RAT is adjusted based on scheduling of concurrent uplink multi-RAT transmissions, and a second period of time where no BSR is transmitted by the UE on the first RAT based where concurrent uplink transmissions on both the first and second RATs are not permitted to be scheduled.

Abstract: A wireless communication system may support two types of networks, such as a 4th-Generation (4G) network and a 5th-Generation (5G) network. The 4G network is accessed through Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base stations. The 5G network is accessed through New Radio (NR) base stations. An LTE base station can be configured to broadcast information regarding whether it supports Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA) Dual Connectivity in conjunction with an associated NR base station. When a communication device receives an indication that NSA Dual Connectivity is available, the communication device selects a decision value based on the frequency bands that would be used during an NSA session anchored by the LTE base station. The communication device then uses the decision value in combination with the current 4G signal strength to determine whether 5G communications are currently available and whether to display a 5G symbol on the status bar of the communication device.

Abstract: A machine learning engine for fraud detection related to cross-location online transaction processing may be trained using artificial intelligence techniques and used according to techniques discussed herein. An account may be used to electronically process a transaction for an item in a foreign location, such as a new city or country. The transaction may be identified as potentially fraudulent based on the item and/or location of purchase. A service provider may identify a vertical, such as an item type, for the transaction, and may determine the account's propensity to purchase within that vertical in the new location and the merchant's propensity to sell within that vertical to the account's location or shipping address. Based on the propensities, the service provider may utilize one or more risk rules with a risk assessment engine to determine transaction processing risk and whether to proceed with transaction processing.
