  • Publication number: 20250133592
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for determining prioritization of subsequent small data transmissions (SDTs) and measurement occasions for a UE in inactive mode. The UE may determine that one or more subsequent SDT occasions of an SDT session conflict in time with one or more measurement occasions scheduled during the SDT session. In response, the UE may determine which of the subsequent SDT occasions to utilize or forgo, and which of the measurement occasions to utilize or forgo. The procedure for making such determinations may vary based on the type of measurement occasion involved in the conflict. For example, the procedure may vary based on whether the measurement event pertains to inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement occasions, inter-RAT neighbor cell measurement occasions, intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement occasions, serving cell downlink measurement occasions, and/or serving cell paging occasions.

  • Patent number: 12284016
    Abstract: Techniques for changing a Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state by a user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communications system are provided. The UE receives a first message including a TCI state change command from a network and determines, based on the first message, whether a time offset/frequency offset (TO/FO) and a reception (Rx) beam for a new TCI state are known by the UE.
