A request to establish a call using a first connection may be received, the first connection using a first radio access technology to communicate with a radio access network. During execution of a procedure to establish the call, a command to handover communications from the first connection to a second connection that uses a second radio access technology to communicate with the radio access network may be received. The second connection may be established in response to the command, and a message indicating that the request to establish the call was successfully received may be transmitted over the second connection. Also, a message indicating that an alert of the call is being issued may be transmitted over the second connection.

Abstract: A wireless device with dual connectivity may transmit split bearer traffic including a plurality of compressed data packets respectively to a first RLC entity of a first base station and a second RLC entity of a second base station and measure BLERs of the transmitted split bearer traffic. Based on the measured BLERs of the transmitted split bearer traffic, the wireless device may transmit uncompressed data packets to one or more of the first RLC entity or the second RLC entity. The wireless device may also reset a context memory and transmit the uncompressed data packets to the first RLC entity and the second RLC entity. A base station with dual connectivity may configure an LTE RLC entity with an RLC out-of-order delivery to deliver the received compressed data packets to an NR-PDCP entity without reordering the compressed data packets at the LTE RLC entity.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the user equipment (UE) may adjust an operational mode of a circuit of the UE by selecting one or more parameters (e.g., power level or clock frequency or both). Adjusting parameter values may result in avoiding increased temperature. The UE may set an operational mode of a circuit based on a determination or a prediction of a number of blind decodes to be performed, a number of pending receive packets, or a number of transmitting UEs from which the UE will receive traffic. The UE may efficiently reduce unnecessary power expenditures and decrease temperature.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a wireless communications system, a user equipment (UE) may receive a set of packets having a sequential order. The UE may initiate a first packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) reordering timer based on a first time stamp corresponding to unsuccessful decoding of a first packet in the sequential order. The UE may then initiate, prior to the expiration of the first PDCP reordering timer, a second PDCP reordering timer. The second PDCP reordering timer may be based on a second time stamp corresponding to unsuccessful decoding of a second packet in the sequential order. In some cases, the UE may initiate the second PDCP reordering timer after expiration of the first PDCP reordering timer, but may decrease the duration of the second PDCP reordering timer.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may monitor packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) counter values associated with PDCP packets. The UE may control a PDCP mode of the UE based at least in part on the monitoring of the PDCP counter values. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for quick radio link control (RLC) retransmission on hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) failure during tune away. According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications is provided. The method generally includes performing communications with a base station (BS) using radio components tuned to a first air interface, detecting a tune-away of the radio components from the first air interface to a second air interface while performing the communications, and scheduling one or more packets for retransmission to the BS upon completion of the tune-away, wherein the one or more packets are one or more packets that failed to be transmitted due to the tune-away.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for quick recovery of missed packets after a user equipment (UE) tunes back to a first network after tuning away from the first network. The UE may determine that a trigger event has occurred, and in response to the determination, modify a negative acknowledgement (NACK) timing configuration from a default configuration. Modifying the NACK timing configuration may include using an aggressive NACK timing configuration for a configurable period of time, in response to detecting a trigger event. The trigger event may include detecting missed packets after a tune back, unavailability of sufficient memory to hold packets until a gap created by missed packets may be filled, or tuning back to a network.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide mechanisms for count synchronization in a wireless communication network. A respective count value may be maintained for each packet transmitted over a wireless connection, where each count value includes a respective hyper frame number and a respective sequence number. To synchronize a current count value associated with a current packet, a count synchronization may be initiated to transmit at least a current hyper frame number of the current count value over the wireless connection.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to wireless communications. Protocol data units (PDUs) can be received at a network layer from one or more transmitting nodes using a link associated with each respective transmitting node. One or more missing PDUs can be detected based, at least in part, on sequence numbers of the received PDUs. A timer can be started based on the detection of the one or more missing PDUs. In response to expiration of the timer, and without receiving the one or more missing PDUs before the expiration of the timer, a lower network layer can be notified that the one or more missing PDUs are received to prevent attempted transmitting/retransmitting or other processing of the one or more missing PDUs.

The wireless device may transmit the first status report. The wireless device may also disable a status prohibition timer in response to the transmitting based on the determination. The wireless device may transmit a second status report including information associated with a remainder of the number of missing data packets not included in the first status report.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques and apparatus for a user equipment (UE) to delay RLC retransmissions (e.g., during off-durations, including CDRX off-durations). According to aspects of the present disclosure, a UE may delay triggering an RLC retransmission of an RLC PDU until after a next opportunity for the UE to receive an RLC ACK of the RLC PDU. By delaying RLC retransmissions, a UE may be prevented from waking up from one or more CDRX off-durations and using power associated with waking up from the one or more CDRX off-durations.
