Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and devices for a user equipment device (UE) to perform band measurements and provide a pruned measurement report to a base station. A first connection is established between the UE and a base station, and a configuration message is received from the base station. The configuration message identifies a plurality of bands for which the UE is to provide measurement reporting. The UE determines whether a band combination of the plurality of bands has an aggregate bandwidth that is greater than the aggregate bandwidth of the first connection and whether a signal quality metric of the determined band combination is greater than a predetermined threshold. Responsive to these determinations, the UE performs band measurements on the bands of the band combination and transmits a pruned measurement report to the base station.

Abstract: A service device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), or other network component) can operate generate sidelink communications with peer UE devices based on PC5 unicast link to enable a direct peer-to-peer communication as part of PC5 vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. Radio status link detection can be configured based on a keep alive (KA) coordination scheme via the PC5 unicast link to monitor a status of the PC5 unicast link. A KA timer can be configured based on the KA coordination scheme via the PC5 unicast link. The KA coordination scheme is configured to reduce redundant KA requests in the PC5 unicast link to coordinate the direct peer-to-peer communication across the PC5 unicast link.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing network slice quota management. A network slice quota management function may store capacity information for one or more network slices. The network slice quota management function may receive a request for an indication of whether a network slice has additional capacity. The network slice quota management function may provide an indication of whether the network slice has additional capacity in response to the request. The capacity information may relate to the capacity of the network slice with respect to the number of wireless devices registered for the network slice, or to the capacity of the network slice with respect to the number of packet sessions established with the network slice, or both, among various possibilities.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods to support parallel access to services of multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs) and/or electronic SIMs (eSIMs) by a wireless device are disclosed. The wireless device is a single-radio wireless device that includes wireless circuitry that supports an active voice or video connection via a single radio access network of a cellular wireless network at a time. To send or receive data for a second SIM/eSIM, when an active voice or video connection for a first SIM/eSIM uses the wireless circuitry, the single-radio wireless device can i) establish parallel, linked protocol data unit (PDU) sessions for different SIMs, ii) multiplex traffic for different SIMs over a common radio connection with SIM information embedded in protocol headers for routing by network equipment, and/or iii) use an additional dedicated bearer using a first, active SIM for each data network name (DNN) over which to route for a second, suspended SIM.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to handover of WLAN voice calls to one or more cellular networks. In some embodiments, a device is configured to perform voice communications over one or more wireless local area networks, communicate with a first network using a first cellular radio access technology (RAT), and communicate with a second network using a second cellular RAT. The device may store, based on communications via the first network, information indicating that the first network does not support voice communications for the apparatus. The device may handover a voice call from a wireless local network directly to the second cellular RAT, based on the stored information and without handover of the voice call to the first cellular RAT, based on call conditions on the wireless local area network.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting motion of a vehicle are disclosed. Optical flow techniques are applied to the entirety of the received images from an optical sensor mounted to a vehicle. Motion detection techniques are then imposed on the optical flow output to remove image portions that correspond to objects moving independent from the vehicle and determine the extent, if any, of movement by the vehicle from the remaining image portions. Motion detection can be performed via a machine learning classifier. In some aspects, motion can be detected by extracting the depth of received images in addition to optical flow. In additional or alternative aspects, the optical flow and/or motion detection techniques can be implemented by at least one artificial neural network.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) or other device performs service discovery of edge computing resources in a cellular network system and dynamic offloading of UE application tasks to discovered edge computing resources. As part of the discovery process, the device (e.g., the UE) may request edge server site capability information. When performing dynamic offloading, the UE may obtain (collect and/or receive) information regarding channel conditions, cellular network parameters or application requirements and dynamically determine whether a task of the application executing on the UE should be offloaded to an edge server or executed locally on the UE. In making decisions between offloaded or local execution, the UE may use a utility function that takes into account factors such as relative differences in application latency, energy consumption and offloading cost.

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.

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.
