Abstract: The functions of user equipment (UE), radio access network (RAN) devices, and core network (CN) devices in circumstances where a UE is expected to experience discontinuous coverage are described herein. A UE may send a CN a non-access stratum (NAS) message including a release request indicating that a UE is leaving coverage and assistance information. The CN may interrupt paging of the UE and resume the paging according to the assistance information. A UE may enter a low power usage mode upon leaving coverage, and may use one or more timers to determine when to check for coverage and send a mobility update message corresponding to the low power usage mode. A base station may receive, from a UE, a radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a release request and assistance information, send an RRC release message to the UE in response, and forward the assistance information to the CN.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to discontinuous reception (DRX) transmission. Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a solution for DRX configurations for point-to-point (PTP) and/or point-to-multipoint (PTM) transmissions. In this solution, a user equipment (UE) maintains separate DRX configurations for PTP transmissions and PTM transmissions. During active time for the PTP transmissions, the UE monitors physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with a UE specific identifier. The UE monitors PDCCH with a PTM transmission specific identifier during active time for the PTM transmissions. In this way, it can match the MBS service quality mechanism. Moreover, it also saves power at the UE.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured to receive a first cumulative acknowledgement (ACK) from a protocol stack of the UE at a first time, store the first cumulative ACK in a queue, receive a second cumulative ACK from the protocol stack at a second time, wherein the second time occurs after the first time, store the second cumulative ACK in the queue, discard the first cumulative ACK from the queue based on the second cumulative ACK being received after the first cumulative ACK and encapsulate the second cumulative ACK to form a radio link control (RLC) packet data unit (PDU) that is to be transmitted over the air.

Abstract: To transmit industrial Internet of Things (HOT) data on a communication channel, a user device receives (402), from a base station, one or more configured uplink grants for transmitting data in an unlicensed spectrum, prioritizes (404) one of the one or more configured uplink grants, and generates (406) a data packet for the prioritized configured uplink grant. Additionally, the UE performs (408) a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure with the base station. In response to determining the LBT procedure has failed, the UE identifies (416) another configured grant opportunity to transmit the data packet, and transmits (418), to the base station, a first transmission for the data packet via the other configured grant opportunity.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the spectrum sharing without network sharing. One example includes a method implemented for spectrum sharing without network sharing. A first network node can transmit, via a horizontal user plane interface, a first message to a second network node. The message can include a request for shared spectrum. The first network node can be configured to transmit a first network identifier associated with a first operator. The second network node can be configured to transmit a second network identifier associated with a second operator. The first network node can receive, via the horizontal user plane interface, a second message from the second network node. The second message can coordinate shared spectrum access between the first network node and the second network node. The first network node can access the shared spectrum, based on the response.

Abstract: A method in a user equipment (UE) having a first subscriber identity module for connecting to a first mobile network according to a first subscription and a second subscriber identity module for connecting to the first mobile network or a second mobile network according to a first second includes determining, by processing hardware, a preference of how the first mobile network is to process downlink data for the UE when the UE transitions from the first subscription to the second subscription (1102); and transmitting, by the processing hardware and to the first mobile network, an indication of the preference, to cause the first mobile network to process the downlink data for the UE based at least in part on the preference (1104).

Abstract: The present application relates to user equipment (UE) aggregation. For instance, a UE aggregation group is defined based on a subscription of multiple UEs with a network. Configuration information identifying the UE aggregation group, its member UEs, the role of each UE (e.g., whether a group leader or, otherwise, a group member), and/or radio access capability signaling (RACS) is stored. Upon a registration of a UE, the UE aggregation group is indicated to the network. The network then enables an aggregated communication capability to the UEs of the UE aggregation group based on the configuration information.

Abstract: A user device (UE) equipped with a first universal subscriber identity module (USIM) for communicating with a first cellular network and a second USIM for communicating with a second cellular network, wherein the first cellular network includes a first radio access network (RAN) and the second cellular network includes a second RAN, determines whether the first cellular network supports access to a gateway of the second cellular network (402), and when the first cellular network supports the access: (i) connects to the second cellular network via the first RAN and the gateway (408), and (ii) prevents the second cellular network from transmitting information to the UE via the second RAN (410).

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for a user equipment (UE) to receive physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions of a transport block (TB) over multiple slots. The UE can receive a configuration for a PDSCH transmission of a TB over multiple slots (TBoMS), such as a first number of slots, through a downlink from a base station. The configuration can include an indication of the first number of slots. The UE can further determine a transport block size (TBS) for the PDSCH transmission, and allocate a second number of slots used by the UE to support the PDSCH transmission. Based on the TBS for the PDSCH transmission satisfying a condition, the processor can be configured to receive the PDSCH transmission of the TB over the second number of slots, and decode the PDSCH transmission received.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for the harmonization of a spectrum access tier and a core network architecture. One example includes a method implemented for the harmonization of a spectrum access tier and a core network architecture. An access and mobility management function (AMF) of a first network can receive a first request message, including a spectrum inquiry request from a base station to an automated frequency coordinator of the first network. The automated frequency coordinator can use an AMF interface and an automated frequency coordinator interface to determine a spectrum inquiry response. The spectrum inquiry response can describe an available frequency band of a spectrum access tier of a second network for the base station. The AMF can transmit the spectrum inquiry response to the base station.

Abstract: A base station (BS) may receive, from a network node, one or more data packets including one or more reflective quality of service (QoS) indicator (RQI) markings. The base station may then determine, based on a value of the one or more RQI markings, one or more active uplink (UL) QoS rules associated with a user equipment (UE). The base station may further determine, based on at least one of one or more timers, the one or more active UL QoS rules, and status information received from the UE, to include or refrain from including the one or more RQI markings in a transmission of the one or more data packets to the UE. Accordingly, in response to the determining that the RQI markings should be included, the base station may then transmit the one or more packets including the RQI markings to the UE.

The processor is configured to receive, via the wireless transceiver, a measurement configuration including a measurement object and a reporting configuration. The measurement object identifies at least one shared spectrum resource. The processor is also configured to monitor the at least one shared spectrum resource, via the wireless transceiver, for use by non-3GPP radio technology devices; and transmit, in accord with the reporting configuration and via the wireless transceiver, a report on the use of the at least one shared spectrum resource by non-3GPP radio technology devices.

Abstract: In a method in a base station configured to communicate with a user device located in a coverage area of a cell associated with the base station, a first random access message of a RACH procedure is received (320, 420A, 420B, or 520) from the user device. The method also includes determining (425A, 426B, or 526), by processing hardware of the base station, that the first random access message is associated with a first network slice, at least in part by determining that the user device transmitted the first random access message using a RACH configuration associated with the first network slice. The method also includes transmitting (330, 430A, 430B, 530) to the user device a second random access message of the RACH procedure. The second random access message includes information regarding network support for the first network slice.
