Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that a first subscription of the UE and a second subscription of the UE are associated with a same cell and are being used for a same radio access technology (RAT). The UE may activate a proxy subscription mode for the first subscription based at least in part on the determination that the first subscription of the UE and the second subscription of the UE are associated with the same cell and are being used for the same RAT, wherein the proxy subscription mode enables the UE to use the first subscription to perform one or more idle mode operations for the second subscription while the second subscription is in an idle mode. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure are generally directed to extended signaling protocols for multi-subscriber identity module (MSIM) user-equipment (UE) for new radio (NR). For example, certain aspects provide a method for wireless communication by a UE. The method generally includes receiving a first message from a network entity enquiring regarding information associated with a multi-subscriber identify module (SIM) capability of the UE, determining the information associated with the multi-SIM capability of the UE in response to the inquiry from the network entity, and communicating one or more messages to indicate the information regarding the multi-SIM capability to the network entity.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and an apparatus for separating a cell cluster to two or more cell clusters are provided. The cell cluster may be separated into two or more cell clusters in order to mitigate interference between cells while allowing for TDD subframe configuration flexibility. The method identifies at least one separating cell in a cell cluster, the cell cluster including at least two cells having a common TDD subframe configuration, where a coupling loss between one cell in the cell cluster and at least another cell in the cell cluster is lower than a predefined threshold. The method separates the cell cluster based on the at least one separating cell into at least a first cell cluster and a second cell cluster and sets a first TDD subframe configuration for the first cell cluster and a second TDD subframe configuration for the second cell cluster.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may run a process associated with a low latency. As such, the UE may operate in a mode to stay in a connected state with a network. The mode may include transmitting a keep alive message. Such message may be transmitted based in part on a keep alive timer with a shorter duration than a network traffic inactivity timer. If no communications occur between the UE and the network by the expiration of the keep alive timer, the UE may transmit a keep alive message to the network to maintain the connected state and reset the keep alive timer. Alternatively, if communications do occur, the UE may reset the keep alive timer. If the process is terminated, the UE may exit the mode for staying in the connected state, which may include canceling the keep alive timer.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and media are provided for recovery of information from redundancy version packets in systematic encoding environments when a redundancy version packet containing primarily systematic information may be corrupted. A plurality of redundancy version packets may be received at a user equipment device from a transmission device. Each redundancy version packet of the plurality of redundancy version packets may be based on a same group of information bits. A first redundancy version packet of the plurality of redundancy version packets may contain more bits of the same group of information bits than do the other redundancy version packets of the plurality of redundancy version packets. The same group of information bits may be recovered based on one or more second redundancy version packets of the plurality of redundancy version packets but not based on the first redundancy version packet.
