Abstract: The subject matter described herein provides systems and techniques to automatically configure a proximal device, such as a smart watch, a tablet, or any other smart device, based on configuration information sent from the user equipment (UE) to the proximal device when the local communications connection, such as a wireless connection, between the devices is weak. If it is determined that there is a weak local communications connection between the UE and the proximal device the UE may automatically send network configuration information to the proximal device. If it is determined that there is a weak local communications connection between the UE and the proximal device the UE may automatically turn on its mobile hotspot, and automatically send the mobile hotspot configuration information to the proximal device.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for optimizing a cellular network using machine learning. In particular, a network-optimization controller uses machine learning to determine an optimized network-configuration parameter that affects a performance metric of the cellular network. To make this determination, the network-optimization controller requests and analyzes gradients determined by one or more user equipments, one or more base stations, or combinations thereof. By using machine learning, the network-optimization controller identifies different optimized network-configuration parameters associated with different local optima or global optima of an optimization function, and selects a particular optimized network-configuration parameter that is appropriate for a given environment. In this manner, the network-optimization controller dynamically optimizes the cellular network to account for both short-term and long-term environmental changes.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for enabling user equipment to coordinate for interference cancelation. In some aspects, base stations form a user equipment-coordination set by pairing a first UE of a first base station with a second UE of a second base station. The UE receives a first downlink transmission from the first base station. The UE 111 receives, from the second UE, information regarding a second downlink transmission of the second base station. Based on the received information, the UE can model and cancel interference from the second downlink transmission of the second base station to a reception of a first downlink transmission by the first base station to the first UE.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques and systems for beam search pilots for paging channel communications. In some aspects, a user device receives, from a base station of a wireless network, a beam search pilot on a beam. The user device determines that a signal quality of the beam search pilot meets a signal quality threshold. Based on this determination, the user device transmits, to the base station, an indication that the beam search pilot meets the signal quality threshold. The user device then receives a paging channel communication on the beam provided by the base station.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques and systems for user device-initiated requests for resource configuration. In some aspects, a user device can detect one or more conditions related to communicating with a base station over a wireless connection. The user device selects, based on the conditions, a numerology configuration for communicating with the base station. The user device then transmits a request indicating the selected numerology configuration to the base station, which can then allocate resources to the user device based on the request. This may allow the user device to influence a resource configuration that is better suited for communication over one or more channels of the wireless connection.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods and apparatuses for beamforming for communication over preferred resources of a wireless network. A user device receives a signal from a plurality of antenna arrays of one or more base stations. The signal is transmitted, by the base stations, over a set of dedicated communication resources of a wireless network. Each of the base stations may dedicate a same set of resource elements for narrow-band communication with user devices outside of a standard range of a single antenna array. The user device determines a quality of the signal received over the dedicated communication resources and generates an index to identify preferred resources for communicating with the one or more base stations. The user device then communicates the index to the base stations to enable the base stations to establish a narrow-band wireless connection with the user device.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and devices for controlling radar transmissions within a licensed frequency band. In particular, a network is given control over whether or not a user equipment 110 transmits a radar signal within at least a portion of one or more licensed frequency bands associated with coverage of the network. With this control, the network can balance the use of the licensed frequency band for wireless communication operations and radar-based applications. The network can further control operations of the user equipment 110's radar system to control an amount of interference that is present within the licensed frequency band. With permission from the network via a radar grant message 524, the radar system can utilize frequencies within the licensed frequency band for radar-based applications, such as gesture recognition, presence detection, collision avoidance, and so forth.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for neural network formation configuration feedback for wireless communications. A network entity (base station 120, core network server 302) determines a set (sets 2002, 2104) of deep neural network reference signals to send on a physical channel for measuring performance of deep neural networks, and/or a set of neural network formation configurations (sets 2004, 2106). The network entity communicates indications (indications 2030, 2102) of the set of neural network formation configurations and the set of deep neural network reference signals to a user equipment (UE 110). The network entity initiates transmission of each deep neural network reference signal of the set, and directs the user equipment to measure (outputs 2032, 2034, 2036, 2124, 2128, 2132) performance of a set of deep neural networks formed using the set of neural network formation configurations, and select one of the set of neural network formation configurations.

Abstract: This document describes monitoring and managing wireless backhaul integrated with mobile access in fifth generation new radio (5G NR) wireless networks. The techniques described employ an Integrated Backhaul-Access and Mobility Function (IB-AMF) to enable authorization of a base station to access a 5G network through another base station. The techniques described also monitor channel conditions and traffic loads to manage backhaul links and facilitate handovers of base station backhaul connections between other base stations.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for enabling dual connectivity with secondary cell-user equipment. In some aspects, a base station (121) serving as a primary cell forms a base station-user equipment dual connectivity (BUDC) group (410) by configuring a user equipment (UE, 111) as a secondary cell-user equipment (SC-UE, 420) to provide a secondary cell. The base station (121) or SC-UE (420) can then add other UEs (112, 113, 114) to the BUDC group (410) thereby enabling dual connectivity for the UEs through the primary cell or secondary cell provided by the SC-UE (420). In some cases, the SC-UE (420) schedules resources of an air interface (302) by which the other UEs to communicate with the SC-UE (420). By so doing, the SC-UE (420) can communicate data with the other UEs (112, 113, 114) of the BUDC group (410) without communicating through a base station (121, 122), which decreases latency of communications between the UEs (111-114) of the BUDC group (410).

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques and systems for location-based resource scheduling, to reduce or eliminate receiving transmissions, by the base station, over one or more communication resources allocated for another communication. In some aspects, a user device (102) establishes a wireless connection (106) with a base station (104). The user device (102) receives, from the base station (104), a propagation delay message (304). The propagation delay message (304) schedules a delay for a transmission of the user device (102). The delay is based on a location of the user device (1020) being outside of a standard distance (614) from the base station (104). The user device (102) then transmits, to the base station (104), the transmission according to the propagation delay message (304).

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for enabling a base station to enable peer-to-peer communication among multiple user equipment (UE) over a mmWave link. The techniques described herein overcome challenges that the multiple UEs might otherwise face in trying to establish peer-to-peer links on their own. By relying on the base station to grant air interface resources for the UE to perform peer-to-peer communications with the UE, the UE can communicate directly with the other UE, independent of links that the UE or the other UE maintains with the base station. Furthermore, reliance on the base station may help the UE and the other UE mitigate interference from other nearby mmWave links that are separate from the peer-to-peer wave link. In addition, by relying on the base station to specify the beam sweeping pattern, beam acquisition by the UE and the other UE may be improved.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses for parallel beamforming training with coordinated base stations. In particular, a user equipment (UE) uses time-division multiplexing (TDM) to perform parallel beamforming training with multiple base stations within a coordination set. The TDM interleaves beamforming training signals associated with different base stations. In other words, at least one beamforming training signal associated with a first base station occurs between two beamforming training signals associated with a second base station. Example types of beamforming training signals include downlink pilot signals, uplink feedback signals, uplink pilot signals, and downlink feedback signals. In some situations, the different types of beamforming training signals are further interleaved together based on expected rates at which channel conditions change. By interleaving beamforming training signals, narrow beams can be formed to support millimeter-wave (mmW) communications at cell edges.

The base station communicates control-plane information to an individual user equipment or multiple user equipment in the disengaged-mode-user-equipment coordination set.
