Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may directly send small data to a disaggregated base station without performing a random access procedure. The CU-CP may provide a list of routing identifiers and corresponding data resource bearers (DRBs) to a distributed unit (DU) and the DU may transmit a connection release message to the UE. The connection release message may include the list of routing identifiers and the list of DRB identifiers. The connection release message may also include a downlink monitoring timer. The UE may identify data for an uplink transmission and a DRB associated with that data. The UE may transmit a packet with the data and the routing identifiers to a DU, which may derive downlink address information from the routing identifiers and forward the data to a CU-UP of the aggregated base station.

The load balancing adjustment may be provided at a beam level for one or more beams of a plurality of beams, at a network slice level for one or more network slice IDs of a number of network slice IDs, or combinations thereof. The base station may use the load balancing adjustment to identify one or more updated parameters for triggering a handover of at least one user equipment (UE) between beams or slice IDs of a same cell or different cells. The base station may format a mobility change request that indicates the one or more parameters that are updated, and transmit the mobility change request to another base station to establish parameters for handovers between the base stations.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for resolving paging collisions, for example, for a UE camped on multiple cells. In some cases, a UE detects, based on paging configurations, a conflict between configured paging occasions of at least two cells on which the UE is camped, signals an indication of the conflict to at least one of the cells, and receives information regarding a new paging configuration designed to resolve the conflict. In some cases, a UE identifies a different cell to camp on that is not subject to the conflict, wherein the different cell is not as good a candidate for cell selection as one of the conflicting cells in terms of cell selection criteria, and camps on the identified cell.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, while in dual connectivity with a carrier of a second cell group, a first grant for a first communication on a carrier of a first cell group. The UE may determine an allocated power for the first cell group by a specified time offset before a start of second cell group transmissions. The UE may receive a second grant, after the first grant, for a second communication on the first cell group. The UE may transmit the first communication with a first transmit power. The UE may transmit the second communication with a second transmit power that is based on the allocated power and the first transmit power and/or a maximum transmit power for the first cell group. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive synchronization signal block (SSB) related measurement configurations exclusively in a system information block (SIB). The UE may receive SSB frequency lists for idle measurements in both a SIB or a radio resource control (RRC) message, such as an RRC release message. In some examples, the UE may receive SSB related measurement configurations or SSB frequency lists for idle measurements in a SIB and an RRC message. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may receive SSB frequency lists in a SIB and an RRC message, while SSB measurement configurations for SSB frequencies out of a sync raster may exclusively be indicated in the RRC message. The UE may therefore experience improved coverage and reliability and, in some examples, may promote low latency for wireless communications relating to multiple radio access technologies, among other benefits.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and/or a master node may use configurations to resume communications with one or more cells of a dual connectivity (DC) or carrier aggregation (CA) scheme. In some cases, the configuration may be used for a secondary cell group (SCG) of the DC scheme. This configuration may include the UE applying a previously stored configuration for the SCG (e.g., including higher-layer and lower-layer configurations of a last serving SN of the DC scheme) if it determines the previously stored configuration is valid. Additionally or alternatively, the configuration may include the network using a previous SCG configuration or reconfiguring the SCG and transmitting this indication in a resume communications message to the UE. In some cases, the network may determine this configuration based on assistance information or reports generated from the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive synchronization messages from a public cell that indicates synchronization information. The UE may input information received from the one or more synchronization messages into one or more functions provisioned at the UE to derive a set of control resources associated with a private cell. The UE may monitor the set of control resources to receive encrypted system information from the private cell. The UE may decrypt the system information of the private cell by deriving a cell specific broadcast key associated with the private cell. In some examples, the UE may derive the cell specific broadcast key based on the one or more functions provisioned at the UE. As such, the UE may transmit to the private cell via the set of control resources a random access message indicating successful decryption of the system information.

Abstract: In an aspect, a wireless node performs a first RSRP measurement of an RS-P based on a first set of samples within a first time window of an RS-P symbol or resource, and determines whether a spoofing attack is associated with RS-P based on the first RSRP measurement and one or more other RSRP measurements of one or more other sets of samples within one or more earlier time windows of the RS-P symbol or resource. The wireless node transmits, to a communications device (e.g., position estimation entity), an indication (e.g., in a measurement report) of the spoofing attack determination. The communications device performs at least one action based at least in part upon the indication of the spoofing attack determination.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may establish a user plane adaptation protocol (UPAP) with a second wireless device. Accordingly, when generating a message to transmit to the second wireless device, the first wireless device may use a UPAP layer entity to insert a main header and/or one or more service headers onto network layer traffic. The main header may be common to multiple deployments and the service header may be unique to each deployment and/or to each packet. The one or more service headers may be used to perform Quality of Service (QOS) handling, to expose UPAP programmability to services and gateway, to perform on-path header updates, to indicate instructions or rules, or any combination thereof.
