  • Patent number: 11612005
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first node of a wireless communications network may determine a service type of the first node. The first node may transmit, to a second node during a random access procedure, an indication of the service type of the first node. The first node may then establish a connection with a unit of the second node that is for serving nodes of the wireless network associated with the service type. The connection may be established based on transmitting the indication of the service type.

  • Publication number: 20230075703
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230057143
    Abstract: A base station determines a window of time for arrival of uplink signals, wherein the window of time includes a start based on a first expected time of arrival for a first uplink signal from a first UE and an end based on a second expected time of arrival for a second uplink signal from a second UE. The base station detection detects a false base station, such as a L1 man-in-the-middle false base station, based on an uplink signal being received outside of the determined window of time for the arrival of uplink signals.

  • Patent number: 11582823
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One example method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE) includes detecting a radio link failure (RLF) condition for a connection between the UE and a network over a first cell group and determining, in response to detecting the RLF condition, whether an air interface resource allocation is available for a signaling radio bearer (SRB) between the UE and the network over another cell group. The method also includes selecting, based at least in part on the determination, one of a plurality of RLF procedures. In some examples, the UE may select a first RLF procedure that fully releases radio resources when no SRB is available and a different, second RLF procedure that partially when an SRB is available between the UE and the network over a second cell group.

  • Patent number: 11582088
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for radio link failure recovery and beam failure recovery on a secondary cell group (SCG) in dormancy state. In an example, a user equipment (UE) may determine the UE has entered a dormant state with respect to the SCG of a secondary node (SN) having a primary SCG cell (PSCell). The UE may monitor the PSCell to detect a beam failure or a radio link failure while the UE is in the dormant state with respect to the SCG. The UE may transmit, to the SN, a report based on the beam failure or the radio link failure on the PSCell being detected.
