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: Disclosed are techniques for handling collisions between multiple radio resource control (RRC) connection establishment procedures for multiple connection events, such as mobile terminating pages and tracking area updates.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) operating in a narrowband communications system with a base station may identify a radio link failure (RLF) and then initiate a radio resource control (RRC) connection reestablishment procedure to reconnect with the base station. As part of the connection reestablishment procedure, the UE may transmit a reestablishment complete message to the base station to indicate the connection reestablishment procedure is successful and include a measurement report related to downlink signals received from the base station in the reestablishment complete message. In some cases, the measurement report may include an indication of downlink signal strength and downlink signal quality. As such, the UE may transmit the measurement report in a single RRC message after identifying the RLF. Based on the measurement report, the base station may then perform network planning.

Abstract: There is a need to support HARQ retransmission for narrow-band communications. The present disclosure provides a solution by supporting a HARQ retransmission timer for narrow-band communications. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The method for wireless communication at a user equipment may include receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) retransmission timer, the HARQ retransmission timer indicates a time interval, identifying, by the (UE), data for uplink transmission, and starting, by the UE and after expiration of the HARQ retransmission timer, a random access procedure to obtain an uplink grant for the data.

Abstract: An enhanced Public Warning System (PWS) is provided. A User Equipment (UE) transmits a first indication of UE capability for performing a first set of UE actions. The UE receives based on the first indication, a second indication of a second set of UE actions the UE is to perform in response to receiving a warning message, the warning message including an identifier of a warning type associated with the second set of UE actions. The UE receives the warning message including the identifier of the warning type. The UE performs at least one of the second set of UE actions in response to receiving the warning message.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for wireless communication. In one aspect, a method is provided which may be performed by a wireless device such as a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes: performing connection reestablishment in response to a triggering condition, the connection reestablishment comprising: suspending operation of at least one data radio bearer (DRB) for carrying user data, transmitting a connection reestablishment request to a base station (BS), receiving from the BS a connection reestablishment message, and transmitting a connection reestablishment complete message to the BS; and transmitting at least a portion of the user data over non-access stratum (NAS) signaling, before the operation of the at least one suspended DRB is resumed.
