Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for EPS fallback when initiating a voice call while camped on a 5G cell. The UE may camp on a 5G network by performing an IMS registration procedure/IMS SIP invite procedure with an IMS. The UE may initiate a voice call and determine that the voice call cannot be established over the 5G NR network. In response, the UE may perform a TAU procedure or an attachment procedure with a cell of a 4G network. The IMS may be transferred to the 4G network during TAU/attachment procedure. The UE may, in response to determining that it is barred from the 4G network, transition back to the 5G network and transmit, to the 5G NR network, a SIP cancel request to allow a context associated with the UE to be cleared from the IMS.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes first and second subscriber identity modules (SIMs), possibly subscribed to different carriers. When the first SIM is in a connected state and the second SIM is in an idle state, the UE may need to periodically tune away a radio from a first frequency used for communication under the first SIM to a second frequency used for idle mode activity under the second SIM. The UE may provide to the network of the first SIM the second SIMs traffic activity pattern and/or serving frequency so that the network may provide coordinated configuration and/or scheduling for the UE device, e.g., in order to make the action of tuning away (and tuning back) the radio more efficient and/or to decrease the network impact of such radio tune aways (e.g., to decrease wasted uplink scheduling and wasted downlink transmissions for the first SIM).

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for using an assistance information framework to perform fast carrier aggregation and dual connectivity configuration. A wireless device may provide assistance information for determining a carrier aggregation or dual connectivity configuration to a cellular base station. The assistance information may be provided while establishing a radio resource control connection. The assistance information may include either or both of carrier aggregation or dual connectivity preference information for the wireless device or service data amount information for the wireless device. The cellular base station may select a carrier aggregation or dual connectivity configuration for the wireless device based on the assistance information, and may provide configuration information for the selected configuration to the wireless device.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for improving efficiency in IMS registration and management in a wireless communication device, such as a UE. In some scenarios, the UE may, while implementing IMS services (e.g. for VoLTE) over a wireless communication link with a cellular network, determine that the wireless communication link is not performing at an acceptable level. In response, the UE may start a timer and buffer IMS SIP signaling messages while the timer is running. If the wireless communication link performance is restored to an acceptable level before expiration of the timer, the UE may transmit the buffered IMS SIP signaling messages. If the timer expires prior to restoration of the wireless communication link, the buffered messages may be cleared, and the UE may locally deregister from IMS registration and IMS PDN. In some scenarios, select IMS SIP signaling messages may be omitted or removed from the buffer.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (UE) may perform wireless communications according to at least a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. When the UE is in idle-mode, it may determine whether to bias a RAT selection policy—which may be presently favoring networks operating according to the first RAT—towards the second RAT, based on one or more of the following: first information indicative of a quality of previous wireless communications performed by the UE according to the first RAT, second information indicative of an overall quality of wireless communications performed according to the first RAT by the UE over a specified period of time at a specific location where the UE is presently located, and/or third information indicative of an overall quality of wireless communications performed according to the first RAT by other UEs presently located at the specific location.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for handling voice and data under uplink limited conditions in a wireless communication system. A wireless device and a base station may establish a wireless communication link. Transmission time interval bundling (TTI-B) may be enabled for uplink communications between the wireless device and the base station. It may be determined that the wireless device is experiencing uplink limited conditions. One or more rules prioritizing a first type of data over a second type of data for uplink communications may be enabled based on TTI-B being enabled and the wireless device experiencing uplink limited conditions.

Abstract: The disclosure describes apparatus and methods for communicating control plane data with a mobile device in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network employing carrier aggregation. A network apparatus, such as an enhanced NodeB (eNodeB) or a mobility management entity (MME), can be configured to evaluate a measurement report (MR) received from a mobile device for one or more radio frequency (RF) conditions associated with a primary network cell and one or more RF conditions associated with a secondary network cell. Then, based on the evaluation, the network apparatus can determine to communicate the control plane data with the mobile device via the primary network cell, the secondary network cell, or both. The control plane data can correspond to non-access stratum (NAS) information, radio resource control (RRC) information, or a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) retransmission of previously transmitted control plane data.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for a wireless device to report uncategorized data in a buffer status report. A first portion of buffered uplink data to be reported in a buffer status report may be categorized using a traffic flow template. A second portion of buffered uplink data to be reported in the buffer status report may not be categorized using the traffic flow template. A buffer status report indicating both the categorized and the uncategorized buffered uplink data may be transmitted to a base station providing a serving cell to the wireless device. According to some embodiments, the categorized buffered uplink data may be stored in a baseband processor buffer of the wireless device, while the uncategorized buffered uplink data may be stored in an application processor buffer of the wireless device.
