Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communications system may support multicast transmissions from a base station to multiple user equipments (UEs). Each UE may have uplink resources allocated for providing feedback to the base station regarding multicast transmissions. For example, a UE may not successfully decode one or more frames of a multicast transmission. When a UE does not successfully decode the one or more frames, the UE may transmit negative acknowledgment (NACK) feedback indicating the one or more frames that were not successfully received. A serving base station may store frames within a buffer for a transmission window and retransmit each of the frames indicated within the NACK feedback from the stored frames. In some cases, the serving base station may not retransmit frames that were not indicated within the NACK feedback (e.g., frames that may have been received successfully by the UE).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. An access point (AP) may identify a jitter pattern for a wakeup message. A station may listen using a wakeup radio for a wakeup message during wakeup listening periods according to the identified jitter pattern. A station may receive a preamble having a first bandwidth and a wakeup message having a second bandwidth. An AP may transmit an identifier key to a station, and the station may determine a rotating identifier associated with the AP based on the received identifier key. The station may receive a wakeup message from the AP, compare a sender identifier with the rotating identifier, and power on a second radio. A station may also receive a wakeup message that includes an indication of which station are to be activated.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless communications system may support techniques for efficient communication between a user equipment (UE) and different entities (or functions) of a core network. Specifically, the UE may interact with a single entity (or function) of a core network (e.g., an access and mobility management function (AMF)), and messages intended for other entities (or functions) may be routed appropriately by this entity. For example, an AMF may receive a message from a UE intended for another entity (or function) of the core network, and the AMF may transmit (or route) the message to the entity (or function). Similarly, the AMF may receive a message from another entity (or function) of the core network, and the AMF may transmit (or route) the message to the UE.

Abstract: A core network receives data from at least one of an AF, a DN, or a UE. A UPF having small data capability processes the data for transport with a low overhead and without initiating a bearer set up protocol. The data may be transported between the UE and the UPF as an RRC payload over a NAS protocol. The data may be received from an AF or DN external to the core network and may be processed to transport the data to the UE based as an RRC payload. The data may be received as uplink data from a UE, e.g., in an RRC payload. The UPF may process the RRC payload to obtain the data and may transport the data to the AF or DN. The UPF may perform IP header compression, data encryption, and/or buffering of data for a UE in an idle mode.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described that implement techniques and protocols to enable a station to receive a neighbor query request from a first associated access point that is associated with the station.

Abstract: A core network receives data from at least one of an Application Function (AF), a Data Network (DN), or a User Equipment (UE). A Session Management Function (SMF) processes the data for transport with a low overhead as a session management (SM) payload over a Non Access Stratum (NAS) protocol.

The data may be received as uplink data from a UE, e.g., in an SM payload. The SMF may processed the SM payload to obtain the data and may transport the data to the AF or DN. The SMF may perform IP header compression, data encryption based on an SMF encryption key, and/or buffering of data for a UE in an idle mode.

Abstract: A method, a user equipment, a 5G core network device, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. Battery life and network efficiency of the user equipment are improved through the usage of a polled-mode power saving technique, wherein the user equipment periodically awakens to poll the 5G core network device regarding whether a communication is available for the user equipment. If the communication is available, the user equipment receives the communication. If the communication is delayed, the user equipment performs discontinuous reception to save power until the communication is available. If the communication is unavailable, the user equipment resumes a sleep mode.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for generating wake-up radio (WUR) frames formats and implementing WUR communications between transmitting and receiving wireless devices. A transmitting wireless device may identify one or more intended receiving wireless devices for which to send a WUR frame. The transmitting wireless device may generate the WUR frame, where the WUR frame has a first portion that includes a first field.

The transmitting wireless device may also determine a frame check sequence (FCS) type for use with a WUR frame for transmission. The FCS portion may be capable of being one of a plurality of FCS types. The transmitting wireless device may transmit the WUR frame to the one or more intended receiving wireless devices.

Abstract: Various features pertain to mitigating interference on downlink/uplink channels caused by bursty traffic transmissions. A transmitting node encodes data into transport blocks, each including code blocks in which the data is encoded. The transport blocks are then wirelessly transmitted over a channel specific to a receiving node, where the code blocks of the transport blocks are transmitted without redundant parity code blocks or with a desired amount of redundant parity code blocks. The transmitting node then receives an indication from the receiving node of a number of failed data code blocks. The transmitting node generates an error correction code sufficient to recover all of the failed code blocks and transmits the error correction code within a new transport block along with new data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a request to establish a multicast session. The request may identify a multicast service session including a multicast quality of service flow. The UE may receive, from a base station wirelessly communicating with the UE, an indication of communication resources for the UE to use to receive multicast packets of the multicast service session from a content provider via a tunnel between a first network node and the base station. The tunnel may be established for the multicast service session based on identifying that the multicast service session lacks an existing tunnel between the first network node and the base station. The UE may identify a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle for the multicast service session, and receive the multicast packets from the base station according to the indicated communication resources and the identified DRX cycle.
