Abstract: A terminal may include configured to receive, from a network, multiple downlink signals. The terminal may include a processor configured to identify, from the downlink signals, at least one configuration parameter including a bandwidth part switching indicator. The processor may then identify at least one resource from a target bandwidth part indicated by the bandwidth part switching indicator. The processor may then determine a bandwidth part mismatch based on whether a signal is received using the at least one resource from the target bandwidth part.

Abstract: The techniques provide solutions for a user equipment (UE) and base station to switch between T1R4 and 2T4R for sounding reference signals (SRS). The UE and base station may communicate SRS using 2T4R. The UE and/or base station may detect and evaluate a signal quality trigger and/or condition relating to switching from T2R4 to T1R4. The trigger and/or condition may correspond to a channel or radio frequency (RF) quality, conflicting or problematic band combinations used in a non-standalone (NSA) scenario, whether dedicated data subscription (DDS) subscriber identity module (SIM) or non-DDS SIM is being used in a dual SIM dual active (DSDA) scenario, etc. The UE and base station may either continue using T2R4 communications or switch to T1R4 communications based on the trigger and/or evaluation.

Abstract: User equipment-based mitigations may improve device operation by mitigating data stalls with fewer overall computing resources being used to do so. For example, the user equipment performing a user equipment-based mitigation may itself initiate the reset, improving a time to remedy the data stall while reducing or eliminating a likelihood of the data stall being perceivable from a performance impact perspective. Moreover, further improvements to flexibility of communication network deployment may also be realized from the systems and methods described herein by introducing operations through which user equipment may detect network characteristics and change its own operation based on the detected network characteristics.

Abstract: An apparatus of a reduced capability (RedCap) user equipment (UE) comprises one or more processors coupled to a memory. The processors are configured to detect, at the UE, a service-based scenario of the UE. The service-based scenario includes at least one of a stationary scenario, a fixed route or a normal route. The processors apply, at the UE, a service-based radio frequency (RF) evaluation based on the service-based scenario using a machine learning (ML) model. The processors perform, at the UE, a relaxed radio resource management (RRM) measurement of one or more measurement objects (MOs) based on the service-based RF evaluation determined by the ML model and the service-based scenario.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) that is registered to a stand-alone non-public network (SNPN) can also access services on a public land mobile network (PLMN). The UE accesses the PLMN by transmitting a first signal to a data network, receiving a second signal from the data network in response to the first signal, wherein the second signal identifies a PLMN that is configured to be accessed by the UE via the data network and transmitting a session initiation protocol (SIP) registration request to the PLMN via the data network.

Abstract: Techniques described herein includes solutions for mitigating interference related to antenna switching. A user equipment (UE) may determine a potential for interference to data reception on a second frequency band due to antenna switching associated with transmission of reference signals on a first frequency band. In response to the determination, the UE may select one or more interference mitigation measures based on an operating mode of the UE and one or more UE parameters. An interference mitigation measure may include backing off on a reported value, such as a channel quality indicator (CQI), rank indicator (RI), or reference signal received power (RSRP). The interference mitigation measure may further include skipping reference signal transmission on the first frequency band and the antenna switching associated therewith.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for a user equipment (UE) to perform public land mobile network (PLMN) selection with a non-terrestrial network (NTN). A UE performs a non-access stratum (NAS) procedure with a public land mobile network (PLMN) of an NTN. The UE receives a NAS message from the PLMN, and the NAS message indicates that the UE is not allowed to access a core network of the NTN. The NAS message may indicate that the UE is not allowed to access the core network of the NTN because a location of the UE is unknown to the NTN, that access to the NTN is not allowed in a country in which the UE is located, or that a location of the UE is not within a country associated with the NTN. The UE modifies its PLMN search procedure responsive to receiving the NAS message.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for a user equipment (UE) to perform public land mobile network (PLMN) selection with a non-terrestrial network (NTN) dedicated to an international area. The UE receives a downlink message from the NTN, where the downlink message includes a public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier of a first PLMN of the NTN including an information element (IE). The IE indicates that the NTN is dedicated to an international area. Responsive to receiving the downlink message, the UE determines a current location of the UE and determines whether the current location is in the international area. The UE provides an international area notification to an access and mobility management function (AMF) servicing the UE to forward to a home PLMN (HPLMN) of the UE indicating whether the current location is in the international area.
