Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe receiving paging messages in wireless communications. A user equipment (UE) can receive one or more parameters for descrambling non-cell specific paging messages. The UE can receive, from one or multiple base stations, a non-cell specific paging message. The UE can descramble the non-cell specific paging message based at least in part on the one or more parameters.

Abstract: Techniques for supporting location services for a base station such as a home Node B (HNB) and its user equipments (UEs) are disclosed. In an aspect, location services may be supported for a UE by having an HNB inter-work between user plane and control plane location solutions. In another aspect, a location server may be used to support assisted GNSS (A-GNSS) for HNBs and UEs. In one design, a location server receives a positioning request including an identification value from a base station, determines a positioning method based on the identification value, sends a positioning response to the base station based on the positioning method, receives positioning information from the base station, determines the position of the base station based on the positioning information, and stores the position of the base station.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication, and more particularly, to methods and apparatus for radio link failure (RLF) failover in a multi-connectivity environment. For example, in certain aspects, a mobile device for establishing one or more first data flows with a first network entity, determining a link recovery configuration, the link recovery configuration having information related to establishing a second data flow in the event of a link failure at the first network entity, wherein the link recovery configuration comprises a list of network entities, detecting a link failure at the first network entity affecting a service associated with the first data flows, and recovering the service associated with the first data flows from the link failure by selecting a second network entity from the list of network entities and establishing the second data flow associated with the service based on the link recovery configuration.

Abstract: System and method for determining location on a Home Node B (HNB). In one embodiment, a method of supporting determining a location of an HNB includes sending a Positioning Calculation Application Part (PCAP) position initiation request towards a Standalone Serving Mobile Location Center (SAS) for positioning including a HNB identification value, receiving a PCAP position activation request for A-GNSS, obtaining GNSS measurements at the HNB, sending a PCAP position activation response for A-GNSS, receiving a PCAP position initiation response, and storing a location of the HNB based on the PCAP position initiation response.
