Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to handover between cellular base stations. In some embodiments that use dual-connectivity handover, disclosed techniques may facilitate synchronization of a security configuration switch. In some embodiments, the base station and/or mobile device determine activation sequence numbers for the security configuration switch (e.g., by estimating when a path switch will occur). In some embodiments, the security configuration switch is implicitly detected based in deciphering failure. In some embodiments, the security configuration switch is explicitly signaled and is checked based on deciphering failure. In some embodiments that use make before break handover techniques, a source base station may be retained after the path switch.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to detecting duplicate public warning system messages in a cellular communication system. A wireless device may receive a public warning system indication from a cellular base station during a paging occasion. The public warning system indication may indicate that system information provided by the cellular base station includes a public warning system message. The wireless device may determine whether the public warning system message is a duplicate public warning system message. The wireless device may determine whether to decode the system information including the public warning system message based at least in part on whether the public warning system message is a duplicate public warning system message. The system information including the public warning system message may not be decoded if the public warning system message is determined to be a duplicate public warning system message.

Abstract: A device may operate within a specified frequency band within a specified coverage area of a wireless cellular network served by a cell. The device may monitor, during a cell-specific paging window, paging messages transmitted by the cell within the cell-specific paging window to devices operating within the specified coverage area and targeted to receive paging messages. The device may enter an idle state if the monitoring indicates that the paging messages do not include a respective paging message intended for the device. If the monitoring indicates that the paging messages include a paging message intended for the device, the device may process the paging message. Furthermore, the device may indicate to the cell, when attaching to the cell, whether the device has a capability to support standalone operation within the specified frequency band. If the indication is that the device does not support such standalone operation, the cell may not issue paging messages to the device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to performing implicit radio resource control state transitions in a cellular communication system. A wireless device may establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a cellular base station. A data inactivity timer length and a target RRC state for implicit RRC transitions may be determined. A data inactivity timer having the determined data inactivity timer length may be initiated. It may be determined that the data inactivity timer has expired. The wireless device may transition to the target RRC state based at least in part on determining that the data inactivity timer has expired.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform intra-UE co-existence between non-stand-alone (NSA) and stand-alone (SA) mode. The UE may be configured to connect to a first radio access network (RAN) operating according to a first radio access technology (RAT) via a first radio and connect to a second RAN operating according to a second RAT via a second radio. The UE may provide, to the first RAN, configuration information during a radio resource control (RRC) connection procedure. The configuration information may indicate a dual connectivity status of the UE. The dual connectivity status may include indication disabling (enabling) dual connectivity for the UE, working frequencies associated with the second RAN, and/or configurations associated with the second RAN. The UE may receive, from the first RAN, a dual connectivity configuration that may be based on the dual connectivity status of the UE and operate accordingly.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems, apparatuses, and methods for coordinating communication and avoiding and/or mitigating collisions for multi-subscriber identity module devices in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may coordinate communication associated with different subscriber identity modules and/or may mitigate collisions between communications associated with different subscriber identity modules. A network may provide information to improve coordination and/or mitigate collisions. A network may adjust paging schedules and/or provision of alert messages to improve coordination.

Abstract: A device, system and method for a user equipment (UE) to opportunistically utilize the wireless capabilities of a paired device. The UE is configured to establish a first cellular network connection based on a first subscription, a second cellular network connection based on a second subscription and a connection to a further UE based on a short-range communication protocol. The UE identifies a predetermined condition and transmits an indication to the further UE based on the predetermined condition. The further UE establishes a further cellular network connection in response to the indication and the further cellular network connection is based on one of the first subscription or the second subscription. The UE then declares no service for one of the first cellular network connection or the second cellular network connection based on the further cellular network connection.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may make measurements of network-configured frequencies in an idle mode or an inactive mode, and report the measurements to the network during (or after) a connection establishment or a connection resume process. The initiation of measurements may be delayed until a connection is imminent or until an upper layer request. A result timer may be used to ensure that reported measurements are not too old to be of use. A configuration timer may be used to selectively report inter-frequency/RAT cell measurements. The configuration timer may also be used repeatedly in conjunction with intervening backoff periods. A base station of the network may use the measurements to make informed decisions on when and how to configure carrier aggregation or dual connectivity for the UE device.
