    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for addressing scenarios where the minimum transmit power supported by a wireless node (e.g., an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node) is above a minimum value specified by a standard. In some cases, the node may signal information regarding its power configuration so a network entity of the may take it into account (e.g., when allocating or scheduling resources). The power configuration may include an indication of the minimum transmit power supported by the node and/or an indication of a guard band that may help the IAB control adjacent channel leakage.

  • Patent number: 11671930
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for wireless communication are disclosed. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) determines to perform a synchronization procedure and receives at least one synchronization signal. The UE may generate a detection metric based at least in part on the at least one synchronization signal and compare the detection metric or detection metrics accumulated since determining to perform the synchronization procedure with a detection threshold. The detection threshold may be associated with the at least one synchronization signal utilized to determine whether the synchronization procedure can be terminated prior to receiving a predetermined number of synchronization signals. The UE may continue or terminate the synchronization procedure based at least in part on a result of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11638191
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for handover of a UE from a source node connected to a first core network to a target node connected to a second core network. The UE receives, from the source node, a mobility command including an indication of the radio access technology (RAT) used by the target node and a message container containing configuration information for the target node. The UE further determines, based on the indication of the RAT used by the target node, whether to treat the handover as an inter-RAT handover or as an intra-RAT handover with a core network change, and performs a radio resource control procedure for one of an inter-RAT handover or an intra-RAT handover with a core network change based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 11622291
    Abstract: A UE transmits a capability message to an access node in a wireless network, indicating capability corresponding to ML of the UE at a current time instance. The UE receives a configuration message for radio measurements, indicating set(s) of parameters to be measured. The UE receives a configured capability in a message and matches the configured capability with the capability of the user equipment at the current time instance. The UE measures the set(s) of parameters. The UE uses ML to infer value(s) for at least one of the parameters based on the measured set(s) of parameters and based on the received configured capability. The UE reports the inferred value(s) for the at least one parameter. An access node receives the capability message, determines and sends the configuration message and configured capability receives the reporting.
