  • Publication number: 20240147267
    Abstract: A method of wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) includes communicating with a network based on a machine learning model for wireless communication. The method also includes monitoring a status of the machine learning model for wireless communication. The method further includes reporting the status of the machine learning model for wireless communication using a predetermined resource according to a predetermined format. The method also includes falling back to communicating with a fallback procedure, instead of the machine learning model for wireless communication, to maintain wireless communication with the network in response to the status of the machine learning model indicating a model failure.

  • Patent number: 11974341
    Abstract: A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for wireless communication at a network node having a split bearer configuration with a user equipment (UE). The network node measures, at a primary node (MN) or a secondary node (SN), a data burst statistic for the network node, the data burst statistic being based on at least one of a burst level throughput or a packet loss measurement for a data burst between the UE and the MN based on a first bearer in the split bearer configuration or between the UE and the SN based on a second bearer in the split bearer configuration. The network node provides the data burst statistic from the network node to at least one of the MN or a core network component.

  • Patent number: 11968563
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications system may utilize an inter-system information report message (e.g., a self-organizing network (SON) information report message) to support inter-system mobility load balancing (MLB). For example, a first node, operating in accordance with a first radio access technology (RAT), may receive an information report message from a second node operating in accordance with a second RAT. The information report message may include a periodic load reporting request information element (IE) or an event-triggered load reporting request IE. In response, the first node may determine a traffic load based on the load reporting request and transmit, to the second node, an information report message which includes one or more IEs for reporting the determined traffic load. The exchange of the load information via the IEs may enable for MLB between nodes of different RAT.

  • Publication number: 20240129759
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, devices use machine learning (ML) models to support wireless communications. For example, a user equipment (UE) may download ML model information from a network to determine an ML model. The network may additionally configure a status reporting procedure, a fallback procedure, or both for the ML model. In some examples, based on a configuration, the UE may transmit a status report to a base station according to a reporting periodicity, a UE-based trigger, a network-based trigger, or some combination thereof. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may determine to fallback from operating using the ML model to operating in a second mode based on a fallback trigger. In some examples, to restore operating using a downloaded ML model, the UE may download an updated ML model or receive iterative updates to a previously downloaded ML model.

A user equipment (UE) may measure quality of experience (QoE) metrics and transmit a QoE report that is formatted to be readable by a base station, such that a base station may receive the QoE report and independently perform adjustments associated with the service being utilized by the UE. A UE may receive a configuration message that includes a first configuration for reporting QoE measurements to a base station and a second configuration for reporting QoE measurements to a QoE server. The UE may measure one or more QoE metrics in accordance with the configuration message, and generate a first report for the base station based on the QoE measurements and the first configuration. Upon generating the report, the UE may transmit the first report to the base station in accordance with the first configuration.

  • Publication number: 20240049094
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) disconnects from next generation radio access network (NG-RAN) base station (BS) and receives, from the NG-RAN BS, a fallback indication. The UE then attempts to connect to an evolved-universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) BS. The UE determines that communication with the E-UTRAN BS was not established and identifies an alternate BS. After establishing communication with the alternate BS, the UE generates and transmits a report to the alternate BS including the fallback indication and information relating to the failed connection attempt with the E-UTRAN BS. The report is then conveyed to the NG-RAN BS for optimization of future fallback procedures.
