Abstract: A user equipment described herein receives content delivered by a telecommunication network at a first rate. The first rate is a highest rate possible for the telecommunication network. The user equipment then renders the content at a second rate that is lower than the first rate.

Abstract: A base station can select orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) numerologies that define subcarrier spacing values based on attributes associated with one or more services that a user equipment (UE) is using. The base station can use the selected OFDM numerologies for transmission associated with the services. When the UE is using multiple services simultaneously, the base station can select the same or different OFDM numerologies for the multiple services.

Abstract: Integrity protection is used to assist in ensuring the secure transmission of wireless data within a cellular network. Instead of performing integrity protection on each packet data unit (PDU) transmitted/received within a PDU session, integrity protection is performed on a portion of PDUs transmitted within a cellular network. For instance, partial integrity protection may be performed on at least one predetermined PDU (e.g., the first, second, fourth, . . . ) that is transmitted via a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)/Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) during a communication session. By performing partial integrity protection, user data may be transmitted more quickly throughout the cellular network, compared to performing full integrity protection, while still providing integrity protection.

Abstract: Determining when to display a Fifth Generation (5G) service indicator is described herein. In an example, a network can compare capabilities supported by a user equipment (UE) with capabilities available to the UE (e.g., in a geographic area of the UE) to determine whether the UE can display the 5G service indicator. In some examples, such capabilities can be determined based at least in part on E-UTRAN New Radio-Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) combinations of frequency bands.

Abstract: Predictive bearer assignment for wireless networks is described herein. A wireless network can include a first base station and a second base station to provide dual connectivity to user equipments (UEs) operating in an environment. A bearer assignment component can receive network information, such as signal strength(s) and/or locations of the UEs in the environment, from UEs connected the first or second base stations. The bearer assignment component can determine, based on the network information, whether to assign a bearer to a UE attempting to connect to the first or second base station, and if so, a type of a bearer to assign to the UE. If similarly situated UEs experience a positive or negative outcome involving a bearer, the bearer assignment component can assign bearers to optimize communications between other UEs and the first or second base stations.

Abstract: A cell site of a cellular communication network may have both a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base station and a New Radio (NR) base station to support NR Standalone connectivity and Non-Standalone (NSA) dual connectivity. The NR base station broadcasts system information from which a cellular device can determine relative service qualities of a NR Standalone connection and an NSA connection. The cellular device receives these qualities and compares them to determine whether to initially attach to the LTE base station or to the NR base station. Similarly, during cell reselection, the cellular device receives service quality information from a target LTE base station so that the cellular device can determine whether to attach to the target LTE base station or to an associated NR base station.

Abstract: A wireless communication system may support two types of networks, such as a 4th-Generation (4G) network and a 5th-Generation (5G) network. The 4G network is accessed through Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base stations. The 5G network is accessed through New Radio (NR) base stations. During idle mode, a communication device may scan 5G RF frequencies to determine whether a 5G signal is available and whether to display a 5G network symbol in the status bar of the device. The communication device is configured to detect conditions indicating whether a user of the device is likely viewing the device and/or the display of the device. If it is unlikely that the user is viewing the device or its screen, RF frequency scanning is paused to reduce power consumption and the currently displayed network symbol is maintained until RF frequency scanning is resumed.

Abstract: A method and system to help address this issue. When a device is within coverage of a cell that operates with a particular TDD configuration, the device will determine based on its location a set of one or more TDD frame configurations that the device would support, which could be based on maximum uplink transmission power of the UE, permitted maximum transmission power in the location, and uplink duty cycle defined by each of the various TDD configurations. The UE will then control whether or not it will be served by the cell based on whether the TDD configuration of the cell is within the determined set.

The 4G network is accessed through Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base stations. The 5G network is accessed through New Radio (NR) base stations. During idle mode, a communication device may search 5G radio frequency (RF) frequencies to determine whether a 5G signal is available and whether to display a 5G network symbol in the status bar of the device. The communication device is configured to search repeatedly at time intervals of increasing length, until the length reaches an upper limit Upon detecting a change in signal availability, the length is reset to its beginning value.
