Publication number: 20260143460Abstract: A device (e.g., a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)) may be configured to perform one or more actions for inactive/idle mobility enhancement based on predicted trajectory. For example, a device may send a predicted trajectory associated with the device. The device may receive configuration information comprising a margin of error associated with a validity of the predicted trajectory. The device may enter a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state based on an indication to transition from an RRC connected state to the RRC inactive state. The device may determine, in the RRC inactive state, a deviation from the predicted trajectory. The device may determine the deviation is not within the margin of error. The device may send an indication (e.g., a resume request) based on the determination that the deviation is not within the margin of error.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2024Publication date: May 21, 2026Applicant: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Oumer Teyeb, Brian Martin, Dylan Watts, Yugeswar Deenoo Narayanan Thangaraj
