  • Publication number: 20230231788
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communications entity, such as a user equipment (UE), a base station, a network core, or an application server, may identify a round-trip time (RTT) latency requirement that may pertain to a round-trip latency in wireless communications between the UE and the base station. The wireless communications entity may identify a one one-way directional delay budget that satisfies the RTT latency requirement for an application of an application server. The application server may be in communication with the UE via the base station. The wireless communications entity may modify a value of the one-way directional delay budget and transmit a message that is associated with the modified value of the one one-way directional delay budget.

  • Publication number: 20230131915
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine whether a geographic location code associated with a geographic location of the UE matches a geographic location code in a received message. Based on the determination, the UE may select a non-public network (NPN) function. Additionally or alternatively, a UE may discover or select an NPN function based on determining that legal requirements, such as one or more interception conditions, are independent of the geographic location of the UE. For example, the UE may discover and one or more NPN functions according to a query performed using an NPN function identifier or an NPN identifier. The UE may determine that the NPN function selection (e.g., for a geographic location of the UE) is independent of an interception condition (e.g., associated with the geographic location of the UE).

  • Patent number: 11564267
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and/or a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. Radio capability signaling (RACS) optimization for the radio access technology (RAT) may be deployed for some user equipments (UEs) in a network to reduce a signaling overhead associated with identifying UE radio capabilities. The UEs may be configured with a set of UE radio capability identifiers, such as a UE radio capability identifier for a narrowband (NB) RAT, a UE radio capability identifier for a non-NB RAT, and/or the like. A UE may provide a single UE radio capability identifier corresponding to a type of RAT to which the UE is to connect. The BS may determine that the UE supports RACS optimization for the RAT. If the UE does not provide the UE radio capability identifier, the BS may infer that the UE does not support RACS optimization.

  • Patent number: 11546950
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may truncate or remove a number of bits from its UE identity based on identity truncating information to generate a truncated UE identity. The truncated UE identity can be transmitted by eMTC devices to a base station in an RRC connection request, and can be used by the base station to determine which core network entity stores the UE's capabilities. In some implementations, the UE may truncate or remove a number of bits from the 48-bit 5G-S-TMSI based on the identity truncating information to generate a 40-bit truncated 5G-S-TMSI that can be transmitted by an eMTC device to the base station in the RRC connection request and yet still provide the base station with enough information to determine which AMF stores the UE context.
