  • Publication number: 20240023180
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, via a first connection of a dual connectivity mode, a first packet having a first sequence number. The UE may receive, via a second connection of the dual connectivity mode, a second packet having a second sequence number. The UE may determine, based at least in part on the first sequence number and the second sequence number, that the first packet is received out of order. The UE may maintain a packet order for reception of subsequent packets via the first connection or the second connection. The UE may drop the first packet based at least in part on the determination that the first packet is received out of order. Numerous other aspects are provided.

  • Publication number: 20240007910
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station according to a first radio access technology (RAT) in a first frequency range. The UE may perform measurements on a set of candidate cells of a second RAT or a second frequency range based on a determination for the UE to operate according to the second RAT or the second frequency range. The UE may perform a mobility procedure to establish a connection with a first cell of the set of candidate cells based on a determination that a first value of a first measurement parameter for the first cell satisfies a first threshold, and further based on a comparison of a different, second value of a second measurement parameter for the first cell to a second threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230370916
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station associated with a first radio access technology (RAT), a neighbor cell list including entries for at least a first set of neighbor cells and a second set of neighbor cells, the first set of neighbor cells and the second set of neighbor cells associated with a second RAT. The UE may determine that the first set of neighbor cells is associated with a first network operator and that the second set of neighbor cells is associated with a second network operator. The UE may measure at least one neighbor cell of the neighbor cell list based at least in part on prioritization of the first set of neighbor cells relative to the second set of neighbor cells. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20230354156
    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: Embodiments include systems and methods for wireless device signaling a network regarding customized ringing signal (CRS) capability and use of such information by the network. Various embodiments may receiving from the network an INVITE message notifying the wireless device of an incoming call, determining whether the INVITE message indicates that the network provides CRS service if the wireless device supports a CRS function, and including an indication in a response to the INVITE that the wireless device supports the CRS function in response to determining that the INVITE message includes an alert information header field indicating that the network provides CRS service. Various embodiments include a network computing device receiving such information and performing negotiations for CRS service with the wireless device only if the wireless device indicates CRS functional capability.

  • Publication number: 20220340638
    Abstract: Provided is a MART-1 (27-35) epitope-specific T cell receptor, comprising an ? chain and a ? chain. The ? chain comprises three complementary determining regions, respective sequences thereof being positions 61-66, positions 84-89, and positions 124-136 of SEQ ID No. 3. The ? chain comprises three complementary determining regions, respective amino acid sequences thereof being positions 46-50, positions 68-73, and positions 112-125 of SEQ ID No. 4. A T cell expressing the TCR can effectively recognize a MART-1 (27-35) epitope polypeptide supported on a T2 cell and secrete IFN-?, thereby demonstrating the functionality of the receptor. Use of the TCR with a relevant drug target allows for effective drug development.
