Abstract:
Certain embodiments described herein use variable RTT for HARQ operations. Uplink HARQ may include, for example, for a first synchronous HARQ process, a UE selects first downlink resources to monitor for first HARQ feedback based on the first HARQ RTT value, and generates a first HARQ retransmission for first uplink resources in response to the first HARQ feedback. For a second synchronous HARQ process, the UE select second downlink resources to monitor for second HARQ feedback based on the second HARQ RTT value, and generates a second HARQ retransmission for second uplink resources in response to the second HARQ feedback. In certain embodiments, a RAN node signals or indicates the variable RTT values to the UE.
Abstract:
An apparatus is configured to be employed within a base station. The apparatus comprises baseband circuitry and/or application circuitry which includes a radio frequency (RF) interface and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to generate a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration for a user equipment (UE) device, where the BWP configuration includes an initial BWP for the UE device; and provide the BWP configuration to the UE device using the RF interface.

Abstract:
There is are provided methods and apparatus relating to layer 2 relaying and mobility using a sidelink interface, including a remote user equipment (UE) for use in a wireless communication network, the UE comprising: a device to network (D2N) entity, a device to device (D2D) entity, and control logic to: receive a service data unit derived from an IP packet direct the service data unit to the D2N entity for communication with an eNB using a Uu interface in a first mode of operation, and direct the service data unit to the D2D entity for communication with the eNB via a first relay UE using a sidelink interface in a second, relay, mode of operation.
Abstract:
Disclosed are apparatuses for quality of service (QoS) flow to data radio bearer (DRB) mapping override bits. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), includes one or more data storage devices, and one or more processors operably coupled to the one or more data storage devices. The one or more data storage devices are configured to store data corresponding to mapping of QoS flows to data radio bearers. The one or more processors are configured to map one or more QoS flows to a DRB in an uplink (UL) responsive to receipt, by the UE from a cellular base station, of a user plane packet in a downlink (DL) through the DRB if an override bit of the user plane packet indicates that reflective mapping should apply.
Abstract:
Techniques described herein may be used to enable User Equipment (UE) to switch between Radio Access Technologies (RATs) while transitioning from an inactive state to an active state. For example. a UE may connect to a base station via one type of RAT (e.g., Long-Term Evolution (LTE) RAT), enter an inactive state, and later, while transitioning from the inactive state to an active state, connect to another base station via another type of RAT (e.g., a New Radio (NR) or 5th Generation (5G) RAT). The UE may transition from one RAT to another RAT without increasing signaling between the UE and the network beyond minimal signaling involved in a transition of the UE from the inactive state to an active state. The network may further minimize signaling by determining and communicating minimized connection configuration information to the UE.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) operable to perform inter-frequency measurements is disclosed. The UE can decode an information element (IE) received from an eNodeB. The UE can determine whether the IE received from the eNodeB includes a reduced measurement performance field. The UE can determine that a neighboring inter-frequency is configured for a reduced measurement performance when the reduced measurement performance field is included in the IE.
