Abstract: A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) and related apparatus are provided. In the method, the UE identify, based on a support of a cell for the UE operating with reduced capability, a cell type of the cell. The cell type is one of a reduced capability (RC) type, a fallback (FB) type, or a neither (N) type, corresponding to various support for the UE operating with the reduced capability. The UE further configures a device mode, where the device mode includes an RC mode or a FB-allowed mode, and manages the connection between the UE and the cell based on the device mode and the cell type.

Abstract: A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) and related apparatus are provided. In the method, the UE identifies the cell type of a cell based on the support for the UE operating with reduced capability. The cell type may be the reduced-capability (RC) type, indicating the support for the UE operating with the reduced capability, the fallback (FB) type, indicating a lack of support for the UE operating with the reduced capability and support for establishing a connection with the UE operating with the reduced capability, and the neither (N) type, indicating the lack of support for the UE operating with the reduced capability and a lack of support for establishing a connection with the UE operating with the reduced capability. The UE further manages a connection between the UE and the cell based on the cell type.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for receiving encrypted positioning assistance data, requesting and obtaining cipher keys to decrypt the positioning assistance data. An example method for transmitting a cipher key request includes receiving cipher key information including a start time value, a duration value, and an advance time value, determining an advance time duration that is equal to a sum of the start time value and the duration value minus the advance time value, and transmitting the cipher key request within the advance time duration.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to communicating with multiple cells based on two separate subscriptions stored at the UE in a dual subscription dual standby (DSDS) mode, switching to communicate with the multiple cells in a dual subscription dual active (DSDA) mode, transmitting, to at least one of the multiple cells and based on a number of component carriers allowed for a subscription being exceeded by switching to communicate in the DSDA mode, assistance information to indicate a threshold amount of component carriers for the UE, and transmitting, to at least one of the multiple cells and based on the number of component carriers allowed for the subscription being exceeded by switching to communicate in the DSDA mode, a channel quality indicator (CQI) value for one or more cells of the multiple cells to request deactivation of one or more component carriers with, or release of, the one or more cells.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, otherwise known as a user equipment (UE) may transmit a data transmission to a receiver. In some examples, the data transmission may be a radio link control (RLC) protocol data unit (PDU) transmission. The UE may store the data transmission in a retransmission buffer, and transmit a feedback request to the receiver in a subsequent data transmission based on a system memory utilization threshold for the retransmission buffer being satisfied due to storage of the data transmission.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support enhanced power saving mode (PSM) for an active time duration of a PSM with extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) configuration in a wireless communication system. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) is configured to enter a deep sleep mode during inactive times of a PSM, and to operate in eDRX mode during the active times of the PSM. Operating in eDRX mode during the active times includes dividing each of the active time durations into at least one eDRX idle period and at least one eDRX paging period. The UE determines whether a set of criteria for implementing a variant of the PSM is met, and when the set of criteria is met, the UE implements the variant of the PSM, which includes powering down the UE to a deep sleep mode at least during eDRX idle periods.

Abstract: A method for of wireless communication, by a multi-subscription user equipment (UE) includes selecting a first subscription to receive a positioning system information broadcast (posSIB) based on a first subscription state and a second subscription state. The method also includes receiving the posSIB via the first subscription. The UE may switch from the first subscription to a second subscription to receive a subsequent posSIB, in response to the second subscription state changing and/or the first subscription state changing. The state switching may be between connected mode and inactive/idle mode, or between voice service and data service.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a user equipment (UE) dynamically adjusting a non-access stratum (NAS) timer. Specifically, the UE may determine operation in a wideband and support of an extended coverage (EC) restriction. The UE may further identify a duration of a non-access stratum (NAS) timer based on determining operation in the wideband and the EC restriction. The UE may further transmit an access request message to a network entity to trigger a mobility management procedure. The UE may further receive an acceptance message from the network entity indicating an unrestricted or restricted status of the EC restriction. The UE may further apply the duration to the NAS timer based on the acceptance message indicating the unrestricted or restricted status of the EC restriction received from the network entity or a history of EC restrictions of a public land mobile network (PLMN) in a defined geographic area.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a control message indicating a resource configuration for uplink and downlink transmissions. The UE may determine an uplink buffer threshold for a modem buffer of the UE based on the resource configuration. The UE may transmit, to the base station, a feedback request message requesting that the base station provide feedback for at least one previously transmitted uplink packet based on a comparison of an amount of previously transmitted uplink data and scheduled uplink data stored in the modem buffer relative to the uplink buffer threshold. The UE may receive, based on transmitting the feedback request message, a feedback response message corresponding to a first previously transmitted uplink packet of the at least one previously transmitted uplink packet.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine, via a first subscription of the UE, a trigger event for a conditional handover of the UE from a source network entity to a target network entity. The UE may determine, based at least in part on the trigger event, that a target band associated with the target network entity is not compatible with a serving band associated with a second subscription of the UE. The UE may store the trigger event for the conditional handover in a buffer of the UE. The UE may perform an action related to the conditional handover based at least in part on a condition being satisfied. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication.

Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques are described to enable wake-up signal (WUS) error handling at a user equipment (UE). The UE may detect an error pattern when attempting to receive a WUS from a base station based on a configuration for receiving the WUS. For example, the base station may transmit the configuration for receiving the WUS to a set of UEs including the UE. Based on detecting the error pattern, the UE may perform a mitigation operation based on determining the error pattern, such as waking up multiple cells to receive a transmission indicated by the WUS, transmitting a radio link failure indication to the base station, etc. Additionally or alternatively, the base station may transmit multiple WUSs to the UEs, such as a first WUS according to the configuration and a second WUS according to a reconfiguration.
