Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reporting an indication of a power headroom report (PHR) when the UE's assigned of UL resources is insufficient to transmit both UL data and a PHR. Additionally, aspects described herein introduce a negative PHR used to indicate the UE requires additional UL resources.

Abstract: A method for of wireless communication, by a multi-subscription user equipment (UE) includes selecting a first subscription to receive a positioning system information broadcast (posSIB) based on a first subscription state and a second subscription state. The method also includes receiving the posSIB via the first subscription. The UE may switch from the first subscription to a second subscription to receive a subsequent posSIB, in response to the second subscription state changing and/or the first subscription state changing. The state switching may be between connected mode and inactive/idle mode, or between voice service and data service.

Abstract: In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may detect a trigger to provide a measurement report associated with a redirection from a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second RAT. The trigger may be a reference signal metric associated with the second RAT satisfying a threshold associated with the reference signal metric. The threshold may be configured by a base station. The UE may selectively provide the measurement report based at least in part on whether one or more other reference signal metrics satisfy one or more other thresholds corresponding to the one or more other reference signal metrics. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for communications at a user equipment (UE). In one example embodiment a method includes collecting data path link metrics for multiple links associated with at least a first subscriber identity module (SIM) and a second SIM at a first logical layer of the UE; providing information regarding the collected data path link metrics to a second logical layer of the UE; and selecting, at the second logical layer, a data transmission mode based on the information regarding the collected data path link metrics.

Abstract: A UE may measure metrics of a first subset of PO beams of at least one subset of PO beams including a plurality of PO beams from a network node, each subset of PO beams configured to form a PO pattern and the first subset of PO beams being associated with a first set of narrower RX beams of the UE, estimate metrics of the first set of narrower Rx beams using a ML model based on the metrics of the subset of PO beams, and identify at least one best Rx beam from the first set of narrower Rx beams, the at least one best Rx beam being associated with best estimated metrics among the first set of narrower Rx beams.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives a SIB1 message from a base station. The SIB1 message lists first and second public land mobile network identifiers (PLMN IDs), the first PLMN ID having a corresponding tracking area code (TAC) and the second PLMN ID not having a TAC. The UE reports the first PLMN ID and TAC but not the second PLMN ID while performing PLMN selection. In another aspect, the UE unsuccessfully attempts to select or reselect to a shared cell of the base station with the second PLMN ID. In response to the failed attempt, the UE bars the shared cell as a candidate for cell selection/reselection, due to a missing TAC. When the UE attempts to select or reselect to the shared cell with the first PLMN ID, which may or may not have a TAC, the UE reevaluates the barring due to selection of the first PLMN ID.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for MDT measurement and reporting in mixed network deployments. Some aspects specifically relate to optimizing logged MDT measurements in network deployments including NTN cells and TN cells. In some examples, a UE receives, from a network entity, a logged measurement configuration which indicates whether the UE is configured to limit its MDT measurements to NTN cells or TN cells during an MDT session, or whether the UE is not limited and may report measurements for both NTN and TN cells. In some examples, the logged measurement configuration may further indicate, when the UE is not limited in its MDT measurements, whether the NTN cells or the TN cells are prioritized for MDT measurement and reporting. The prioritization may be based on a UE state or capability. In further examples, these aspects may be extended to other network deployments including SONs and SBAs.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. A user equipment (UE) may search for a network using a set of predicted mobile country codes (MCCs) during a flight. Some aspects more specifically relate to detecting an MCC in accordance with a set of predicted MCCs, where the set of predicted MCCs are used for the detection based at least in part on the detection occurring during the pre-landing time window. In some aspects, the detection of the MCC occurs during a pre-landing time window. For example, the UE may be in a low-power mode during the pre-landing time window and during detection of the MCC. In some aspects, the UE may determine the set of predicted MCCs, for example, according to a length of the flight and a source (such as a source airport or a source MCC).

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may set an uplink traffic medium or high flag.

The UE may transmit, to a network node, a BSR with the BSR index that indicates the expected uplink packet size. The UE may transmit, to the network node, an uplink packet associated with the expected uplink packet size based at least in part on the BSR. Numerous other aspects are described.

In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a conservative scheduling request (CSR) medium access control control element (MAC-CE) during a random access channel (RACH) procedure to request a conservative scheduling period, the conservative scheduling period being associated with a time duration. The UE may transmit an uplink transmission during the conservative scheduling period, the conservative scheduling period being established for the time duration based at least in part on the CSR MAC-CE. Numerous other aspects are described.
