Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify an indication of an occurrence of a handover. The UE may adjust a delay used by a buffer based at least in part on the indication of the occurrence of the handover. The UE may process one or more packets of the buffer based at least in part on the adjustment of the delay used by the buffer. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling for communications in a wireless communications system. The control signaling may indicate a first duration for an inactivity timer. The UE may initiate the inactivity timer and a second timer based on identifying a period of inactivity. The second timer may have a second duration that is shorter than the first duration for the inactivity timer. In some examples, the second duration may be based on one or more parameters, such as a display status, a battery status, a scaling factor, the first duration, an application state, or any combination thereof. The UE may release a connection for the communications in the wireless communications system based on an expiration of the second timer, an expiration of the inactivity timer, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may obtain one or more communication parameters associated with one or more communications to be transmitted by the UE. The UE may transmit the one or more communications based at least in part on a congestion control algorithm selected from a set of candidate congestion control algorithms, the congestion control algorithm selected based at least in part on the one or more communication parameters. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In some wireless communications systems, a receiving device, such as a user equipment (UE), may reduce packet congestion associated with communications between the receiving device and a transmitting device, such as a server, via a radio access network (RAN). The receiving device may measure congestion metrics associated with receiving data packets from the transmitting device via the RAN. The congestion metrics may include RAN congestion metrics and transport or application layer congestion metrics associated with the network connection between the receiving device and the transmitting device. The receiving device may estimate packet congestion at the receiving device according to the measured congestion metrics. The receiving device may modify connection parameters of the network connection based on the estimated packet congestion.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may establish a communication connection with a serving cell associated with a first discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle configuration, determine, based at least in part on at least one of a first on duration of a first DRX cycle indicated by the first DRX cycle configuration or a type of traffic of one or more communications received during the first DRX cycle, an autonomous measurement gap associated with a neighboring cell, and perform a measurement of the neighboring cell during the autonomous measurement gap. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a base station. The UE may receive, from the base station, parameters associated with a set of frequency bands, the parameters indicating a priority of each frequency band of the set of frequency bands. The UE may then measure, based on the priority, one or more frequencies of at least one frequency band of the set of frequency bands. The UE may then transmit, after a time delay and to the base station, a measurement report including measurements of one or more frequency bands of the set of frequency bands.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) operating in a connected mode may identify application usage information or UE operation information and may determine a preference to transition to an idle or inactive mode. Additionally, the UE may determine requested values for a set of parameters for a connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) state of the UE. For example, the UE may predict a period of inactivity or determine the requested values based on a traffic profile, activity mode, or historical data. The UE may transmit, to a base station, an indication of the preference or an indication of the requested value. In response, the base station may instruct the UE to transition from the connected mode to the inactive or idle mode, or may transmit an indication of configured values for the set of parameters for the C-DRX state for the UE.
