Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. One technique includes identifying, by a user equipment (UE), a periodic time window for the UE to access a network, and transmitting an indication of the periodic time window to the network in a random access channel transmission. The technique also describes receiving, from the network based at least in part on the periodic time window, an indication of uplink resources allocated to the UE during the identified periodic time window. Another technique includes receiving, from a UE in a random access channel transmission, an indication of a periodic time window for the UE to access the network. The technique also includes determining, based at least in part on the periodic time window, uplink resources for the UE to access the network during instances of the identified periodic time window and transmit an indication of the uplink resources.

Abstract: Minimizing conflicts between different radio access technologies (RATs) is disclosed herein which include monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), a first use of a UE Radio Frequency (RF) resource by a first Radio Access Technology (RAT). The UE monitors a second use of the UE resource by a second RAT. The UE is served by a current serving cell in the second RAT. The UE may also determine a percentage of conflict between a first use of a UE resource by a first RAT and the second use of the UE resource by the second RAT over a predefined period of time, and initiating, by the UE, a cell reselection attempt to one or more neighboring cells of a plurality of neighboring cells serving the second RAT based on the determined percentage of conflict exceeding a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems of various embodiments are disclosed for managing a vehicle charging station having a docking terminal. In various embodiments, a priority of a first autonomous vehicle and a second autonomous vehicle may be determined for using the docking terminal when a docking request is received from the second autonomous vehicle while the first autonomous vehicle occupies the docking terminal. In some embodiments, the priorities of the first and second autonomous vehicles may be based on an available power level of each of the first and second autonomous vehicles. The first autonomous vehicle may be instructed to undock from the docking terminal in response to determining that the second autonomous vehicle has a higher priority.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for redirection of a session initiation protocol (SIP) INVITE. A multi-subscriber identification module user equipment (multi-SIM UE) may intelligently determine when to redirect a SIP INVITE message to control on which of multiple networks a communication session is established. The multi-SIM UE may receive a SIP INVITE from a first user equipment (UE) requesting to establish a SIP session on a first network, the SIP INVITE including a first network address of the multi-SIM UE that is associated with a first SIM of the multi-SIM UE. The multi-SIM UE may, based at least in part on determining that a redirection criterion is satisfied, transmit a SIP redirection response including a second network address of the multi-SIM UE on a second network that is associated with a second SIM of the multi-SIM UE.

Abstract: A method for improving device-to-device (D2D) communication in an LTE-Direct communication system includes exchanging communication information between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE over an LTE-Direct connection with a first network resource of a first set of network resources allocated to the first and second UEs by a base station for the LTE-Direct connection. The method also includes determining, by the first UE, whether a first link quality of the LTE-Direct connection with the first network resource is below a link quality threshold. If so, the LTE-Direct connection is shifted to another network resource of the first set of network resources until an LTE-Direct connection is established that has a link quality that is equal to or greater than the link quality threshold.
