  • Publication number: 20250261284
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may reside in a state of dual connectivity with a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG), wherein the radio access technologies of the MCG and the SCG are different. While in the dual connectivity state, the UE device may transition to a mode of reduced activity (e.g., processing and/or RF activity) relative to the secondary cell group (SCG) in order to save power, e.g., when traffic flow via the SCG is below a threshold, or when scheduling activity on the SCG is low. Various mechanisms may be employed to reduce activity, e.g., mechanisms such as reduction of beam monitoring, deactivation of secondary cells of the SCG, reduction of number of active antenna elements, employment of longer periods for periodic measurement and reporting processes, etc.

  • Publication number: 20250254636
    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate neighbor cell measurements with non-cell-defined synchronization signal blocks (NCD-SSB). One example aspect is a baseband processor of a user equipment (UE), including one or more processors configured to receive an indication of a NCD-SSB and a cell-defined (CD)-SSB (CD-SSB) configuration. The one or more processors further perform a measurement procedure to obtain a cell measurement value associated with a SSB wherein the SSB is one of the NCD-SSB or the CD-SSB. Subsequently, the one or more processors compare the cell measurement value with a threshold value; and perform measurement of a neighbor cell when the cell measurement value does not satisfy the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 12381685
    Abstract: Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE). The UE obtains, from a network device, a first configuration information. The first configuration information indicates a first resource set for an aperiodic Sounding Reference Signal (AP-SRS). The first resource set for the AP-SRS includes a first list of slot offsets. The UE decodes a second configuration information from the network device. The second configuration information indicates a reference slot and a first slot offset of the first list of slot offsets. The UE generates the AP-SRS for transmission to the network device based on the reference slot and the first slot offset.

  • Publication number: 20250247728
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are provided for processing potentially overlapping measurement gaps. In one example, a baseband processor of a user equipment (UE), includes one or more processors configured to receive a first measurement gap configuration configuring a first measurement gap and a second measurement gap configuration configuring a second measurement gap. A measurement gap (MG) proximity between the first measurement gap and the second measurement gap is determined and evaluated with respect to a proximity condition. The proximity condition defines a minimum time between measurement gaps. In response to the MG proximity violating the proximity condition, the one or more processors are configured to determine that the first measurement gap and the second measurement gap are overlapping, and in response, select one of the first measurement gap or the second measurement gap for receiving reference signals.
