Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a Cellular Internet-of-Things (CIoT) network architecture to enable communication between an apparatus of a CIoT User Equipment (UE) and a network through a CIoT enhanced Node B (eNB) according to a lightweight Non-Access Stratum (NAS) protocol. An apparatus of a CIoT eNB can process data for communication between the CIoT UE and the network. The lightweight NAS protocol supports a reduced set of NAS messages for communication between, for example, the CIoT UE and the CIoT eNB, such as using a modified NAS message, or one or more new messages.

Abstract: User equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry. To configure the UE for enhanced coverage (EC) in a 5G network, the processing circuitry is to encode N1 configuration request signaling for transmission to an Access and Mobility Function (AMF) of the 5G network. The N1 configuration request signaling includes an EC support capability indication of whether the UE supports restriction for EC. An N1 configuration response signaling is decoded from the AMF, the N1 configuration response signaling including EC restriction information. The EC restriction information is determined based on the EC support capability indication and subscription information of the UE. An enhanced coverage restriction determination is performed using the EC restriction information. A cell is selected from a plurality of available cells within the 5G network based on the enhanced coverage restriction determination.

Abstract: Embodiments of a Next Generation Node-B (gNB) and methods of communication are generally described herein. The gNB may be configurable to operate as a source gNB. The gNB may be configured with logical nodes including a gNB central unit (gNB-CU) and a gNB distributed unit (gNB-DU). The gNB-CU may comprise a gNB-CU control plane (gNB-CU-CP) for control-plane functionality, and a gNB-CU user plane (gNB-CU-UP) for user-plane functionality. When a handover of a User Equipment (UE) from the source gNB to a target gNB is performed, the gNB may transfer, from the gNB-DU to the gNB-CU-UP, a downlink data delivery status (DDDS) message to indicate that the gNB-CU-UP is to stop transfer, to the gNB-DU, of downlink data intended for the UE.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor operatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to partition a set of ports of an optical multiplexer into a set of port groups including a first port group having a first set of ports and a second port group having a second set of ports mutually exclusive from the first set of ports. The processor is configured to associate the first port group with a first router and associate the second port group with a second router. When the optical multiplexer is operatively coupled to the first router and the second router, the first router is operatively coupled to the optical multiplexer via the first set of ports and not the second set of ports, and the second router is operatively coupled to the optical multiplexer via the second set of ports and not the first set of ports.

Abstract: Technology described herein relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media to implement extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) for user equipments (UEs). A Mobility Management Entity (MME) can be aware of the starting time and length of an eDRX cycle of a UE so that the MME can send a paging message for the UE to an evolved Node B (eNB) shortly ahead of a Paging Occasion (PO). In some examples, more than one PO can be included within an eDRX cycle. An eDRX timer can be used to control the duration of waking times and, if desired, to maintain legacy compatibility. Additional examples provide a way for the MME to update calculations regarding the starting time and length of eDRX cycle of the UE such that the MME will continue to be apprised of when the UE will be reachable when the UE moves between cells.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatuses, and systems for management of voice services GP for user equipments (UEs) in coverage enhancement (CE) mode B. A cellular protocol stack (CPS) of the UE may indicate to an internet for protocol (IP) multimedia services (IMS) circuitry of the UE that the UE is operating in the CE mode B (or will be operating in the CE mode B when it awakes from idle mode). The IMS circuitry may receive an SIP invite from an IMS server to invite the UE to engage in a mobile terminated (MT) call. In response to the SIP invite, the IMS circuitry of the UE may reject the SIP invite and deregister the UE from voice services. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Apparatuses of wireless communication systems are disclosed. A User Equipment (UE) stores an enhanced coverage restricted parameter from a Mobility Management Entity (MME), and operates in the enhanced coverage mode if the enhanced coverage restricted parameter indicates that the UE is not restricted. The MME decodes an enhanced coverage restricted parameter received from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS), and generates a message to send the enhanced coverage restricted parameter to the UE. An eNode B decodes a message from the UE, the message indicating that the UE supports restriction for use of enhanced coverage. The eNB decodes an S1 Application Protocol (S1-AP) initial context set-up request message configured to indicate an enhanced coverage restricted parameter, the message received from the MME. The eNB operates in the enhanced coverage mode for the UE unless the enhanced coverage restricted parameter indicates that the enhanced coverage is restricted.

Abstract: Examples provided herein describe a method for determining car positions. For example, a physical processor of an edge computing device may receive position data for a legacy car and information about a make and model of the legacy car. The first edge device may also receive, from a sensor-rich car, a set of sensor data about a set of observed cars in the vicinity of the sensor-rich car, a set of position data for the set of observed cars, and a set of visual data of the set of observed cars, wherein the set of observed cars includes the legacy car and the sensor-rich car. The edge device may then determine an updated position for the legacy car based on the set of position data for the set of observed cars, the set of visual data, and the set of sensor data and provide the updated position of the legacy car.
