The UE scans the first set of frequency bands (406). In response to detecting a new MCC and determining that no service is available within the first set of frequency bands (408), the UE scans a third set of frequency bands preferred by the UE within a second plurality of frequency bands corresponding to the new MCC (410). In response to determining that no service is available within the third set of frequency bands, the UE scans the second set of frequency bands (412).

  • Patent number: 11809201
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method and system for hierarchical disturbance rejection depth tracking control of an underactuated underwater vehicle, and the depth tracking of the underactuated underwater vehicle is divided into kinematic layer guidance and dynamic layer pitch tracking. Adaptive line of sight guidance is used in the kinematic layer to convert a depth error into a desired pitch angle and to estimate and compensate an angle of attack to reject disturbance introduced by an unmeasurable true angle of attack. Based on the above, in the dynamic layer, the active disturbance rejection sliding mode pitch tracking method is used to observe a composite disturbance including an unknown dynamic model and an environmental disturbance by using the active disturbance rejection framework. The model is compensated as a unified integral series type, a sliding mode control law is finally designed to resist an observation error, and a control elevator angle is calculated.

  • Publication number: 20230292149
    Abstract: A UE performs up to a threshold number of attempts to transmit a default capability message to a base station, the default capability message representing a default set of CA combinations supported by the UE. If transmission is unsuccessful, the UE switches to a compact capability mode in which the UE attempts to transmit compacted UE capability messages representing successively smaller subsets of the default set of CA combinations until either a capability message is successfully received by the base station or a second threshold number of unsuccessful transmission attempts is performed. To facilitate configuration of an initial compacted capability message, the UE maintains a PC list that lists one or more cells that have been identified previously as incapable of receiving default-sized capability messages and that further identifies a representation of a limited subset of CA combinations to include in capability messages sent to a corresponding listed cell.

  • Publication number: 20230284126
    Abstract: Access class barring can provide latency for accessing a barred service using a radio access technology (RAT) due to congestion of a local cell accessed via that RAT. A user equipment (UE) supports multiple RATs and the same service may be accessible via a separate cell accessed using a different RAT. Various aspects of the present disclosure describe techniques for configuring the UE to selectively switch between RATs to access a service based on a barring factor employed for a particular RAT, thereby reducing latency for accessing the service. The UEs may operate to monitor a current value of a barring factor for a service the UE seeks to access via a preferred, or default, RAT. In the event that the current value of the barring factor exceeds a specified threshold, the UE switches over to using a different RAT to access this service.

  • Publication number: 20230276350
    Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) (102) supports a plurality of RF bands (132) associated with a plurality of country codes. The UE (102) reduces the entirety of the set of UE-supported RF bands (132) based on a current, physical location (115) of the UE (102), and the UE (102) advertises only the reduced set of UE-supported RF bands to a network or wireless communication system (100), e.g., for attachment purposes. For example, the UE (102) may reduce the entirety of the set of RF bands that it supports (132) based on a country code provided by a base station (105, 108) of a network (100) and the physical location (115) of the UE (102), thereby generating a reduced set of UE-supported RF bands. Subsequently, the UE (102) may advertise only the reduced set of RF bands supported by the UE (102), and refrain from advertising one or more RF bands excluded from the reduced set, e.g., by omitting any indication of the excluded RF bands from advertisements.

  • Publication number: 20230217541
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) reduces power consumption by selectively disconnecting from a radio access network (RAN) while in a non-standalone (NSA) mode in response to detecting a threshold number of communication failures associated with the RAN. The UE connects to a core network in the NSA mode via both a 4G RAN and a 5G RAN. The UE monitors the connection with the 5G RAN for communication failures, such as Random Access Channel (RACH) failures, radio link failures (RLFs), and the like. In response to the number of detected failures exceeding a threshold, the UE can determine that the quality of the connection with the 5G RAN is providing relatively little benefit and can terminate the connection with the 5G RAN.

  • Publication number: 20230180131
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) employing different radio access technologies (RATs) concurrently or successively provides the UE the opportunity to select a particular RAT to support an access service used by one or more software applications of the UE. A RAT operational control scheme provides for opportunistic enablement and disablement of a RAT and/or intra-RAT configuration so as to provide sufficient uplink and downlink throughput for supported software applications while reducing unnecessary power consumption by the UE, which often is battery powered.
