  • SCANNING OPTIMIZATION IN 5G NR MULTI-RAT ENVIRONMENTS
    Publication number: 20210345204
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to improve candidate search and measurement in non-standalone (NSA) and standalone (SA) 5G new radio (NR) multi-radio access technology (RAT) environments. For Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) NR-dual connectivity (EN-DC), a user equipment (UE) skips 5G band measurements for an initial search or an out-of-service (OOS) search. For SA dual connectivity, the UE avoids 5G remaining band (RBS) scans and limits 5G deviated band search (DBS) scans to bands configured for the carrier.

  • Simultaneous Network Slice Usage Via Dual Connectivity
    Publication number: 20210345235
    Abstract: A network component of a radio access network (RAN) is configured to provide network slice information to a user equipment (UE). The network component receives an indication that a user equipment (UE) is requesting to access a network slice, determines a frequency associated with the network slice, identifies a cell within the RAN that operates on the frequency associated the network slice and transmits a message to the UE, wherein the message indicates the cell within the RAN that operates on the frequency associated with the network slice.

  • FAST RETURN TO 5G NEW RADIO
    Publication number: 20210345185
    Abstract: Re-connecting to a first radio access network (RAN) of a first radio access technology (RAT) may include initially connecting to the first RAN. A connection associated with a voice call may then be connected that includes connecting to a RAN of a second RAT. In response to the voice call connecting to the second RAN, information for both a frequency and a cell associated with connecting to the first RAN may be stored. An end to the voice call may be identified. In response to determining that the voice call has ended, a timer may be generated at the UE that comprises a specified time period and the timer and the information stored for both the frequency and the cell associated with connecting to the first RAN may be utilized to re-connect to the first RAN.

    Patent number: 11166336
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to performing implicit radio resource control state transitions in a cellular communication system. A wireless device may establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a cellular base station. A data inactivity timer length and a target RRC state for implicit RRC transitions may be determined. A data inactivity timer having the determined data inactivity timer length may be initiated. It may be determined that the data inactivity timer has expired. The wireless device may transition to the target RRC state based at least in part on determining that the data inactivity timer has expired.

  • INTELLIGENT 5G NR RRC STATE TRANSITIONS
    Publication number: 20210337621
    Abstract: A UE in an RRC inactive state may determine an operational state mismatch between an actual RRC operational state for the UE and a stored RRC operational state for the UE maintained at a network node. To determine the mismatch, while the UE is in the RRC inactive state, the UE may monitor at least one of paging messages, serving cell power levels, or neighbor cell power levels. When an operational state mismatch is detected, the UE may initiate a state correction procedure rather than an RRC resume procedure.

  • Selection of Slice-Supporting PLMNs While Roaming Away from Home Network
    Publication number: 20210297844
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may receive a list of Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs) that support a given network slice in a given country, different from a home country of a home PLMN of the UE. When roaming in the given country, UE may access a PLMN of the list if the given network slice is desired. The list may be provided by the home PLMN: while the UE is in the home country; or via a visited PLMN while the UE is in the given country. The list may be received in response to a UE-initiated request, or pushed to the UE by the home PLMN. A validity timer period received with the list may indicate a duration of validity of the list. In an alternative scenario, the UE may receive the list from an entitlement server, e.g., one belonging to a visited PLMN.

  • Intelligent Measurement Handling
    Publication number: 20210297885
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may skip certain measurements when it is unlikely that the UE will use the measurements. The UE determines that the UE is configured with one of a measurement gap or gapless measurements, identifies that a predetermined condition has been satisfied and implements a mitigation technique in response to identifying that the predetermined condition has been satisfied, wherein the mitigation technique includes omitting performing one of a measurement during the measurement gap or a gapless measurement, wherein the measurement or the gapless measurement corresponds to a first radio access technology (RAT) that is different than a second RAT on which the UE is currently camped.
