Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device may determine a set of target orientations of the mobile device in which an antenna lobe of the mobile device is pointed toward the satellite, the set of target orientations based on: an orientation of the antenna lobe relative to the mobile device, and a location of the satellite relative to the mobile device. The mobile device may determine a current orientation of the mobile device. The mobile device may provide, at a user interface (UI) of the mobile device, guidance for rotating the mobile device from the current orientation to an orientation within the set of target orientations.

Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device may perform a plurality of signal strength measurements of a radio frequency (RF) signal transmitted by a satellite, wherein performing the plurality of signal strength measurements occurs over a period of time during which the mobile device is subject to a movement. The mobile device may determine, for each signal strength measurement of the plurality of signal strength measurements, a respective orientation of the mobile device corresponding to when the respective signal strength measurement was performed. The mobile device may determine a target orientation for the satellite-based communications based at least in part on a value of a particular signal strength measurement of the plurality of signal strength measurements and the respective orientation of the mobile device corresponding to the particular signal strength measurement. The mobile device may provide guidance for rotating the mobile device to the target orientation.

Abstract: In a wireless network, a user equipment (UE) may support reflective quality of service (QoS), where QoS applied to uplink packets is implicitly derived from downlink packets. For example, when the UE receives a downlink packet that includes a reflective QoS (RQoS) indicator and a QoS flow identifier (QFI), the UE may apply the same QoS associated with the downlink packet to an uplink packet with one or more attributes that match the downlink packet. However, for a received downlink encapsulating security payload (ESP) packet that includes an RQoS indicator and a QFI, a modem cannot determine an uplink security parameters index (SPI) and downlink SPI pairing needed to enable RQoS because the uplink/downlink SPI pairing is known only by the upper layer. Accordingly, some aspects described herein enable the modem to learn uplink/downlink SPI pairings for ESP packets and thereby enable RQoS for ESP packets.

Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for reducing delays associated with an attachment procedure are disclosed. In accordance with the present disclosure, a user equipment (UE) may initiate an attachment procedure with a network over a non-access stratum (NAS) layer and detect a condition that may delay completion of the attachment. Based on the detection, the UE may determine whether the condition may be resolved before failure in the attachment procedure. If the UE determines that the condition can be resolved before attachment failure, the UE may suspend a timer associated with the attachment procedure at the NAS layer to allow more time for the UE to complete an authentication associated with the attachment. Conversely, if the UE determines that the condition cannot be resolved before attachment failure, the UE may abort the attachment procedure with the network and initiate a fallback attachment procedure with the network via a different base station.
