Abstract:
Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for traffic volume reporting during radio access network (RAN) connection setup. In one aspect, the RAN broadcasts an indicator that it accepts traffic volume measurements (TVM) from access terminals (ATs) and an associated TVM threshold. An AT measures its traffic volume before requesting a connection with the RAN. If the traffic volume is above the threshold, AT transmits to the RAN a connection request containing a TVM indicator that the measured traffic volume from the AT is above the threshold. If the traffic volume is below the threshold, AT transmits to the RAN a connection request containing a TVM indicator that the traffic volume is below the threshold.
Abstract:
To determine a cell for usage in wireless communication, a signal-to-noise ratio or a signal-to-power ratio can be used in selecting an appropriate cell. However, cell selection can also configure to take both signal-to-noise ratio and signal-to-power ratio into account. Multiple available cells can be analyzed and a highest ranking cell can be selected through balancing the aforementioned ratios. In addition, to minimize transferring between cells, a limitation can be placed such that a cell is not left unless there is better of both the aforementioned ratios at another cell.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that allow the user equipment (UE) that initiated single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC) handover during an active voice session from 5G new radio (NR) to 3G legacy system to effectively transition back from 3G legacy systems to 5G NR systems after conclusion of the active voice session. In one example, the UE may override radio resource control (RRC) connection release with evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) frequency information that may direct the UE to camp in E-UTRAN cell (LTE cell). In another example, the UE, as a local policy or configuration, may override the UTRAN cell information when the UE is registered in next generation radio access network (NR) cell as 5G capable UE.

Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate improved cell search and selection in a wireless communication system. For example, a terminal as described herein can utilize one or more Closed Subscriber Group (CSG)-specific offset and/or hysteresis parameters as described herein to increase the amount of time on which the terminal is allowed to camp on a desirable cell. Additionally, specialized reselection timing can be employed as described herein to increase a delay associated with selecting a Home Node B (HNB) or Home Evolved Node B (HeNB) cell, thereby reducing power consumption associated with rapid cell reselection operations in a densely populated network environment. Further, a two-step reselection process can be performed as described herein in the context of selecting a frequency for cell reselection, thereby mitigating the effects of rapid reselection between cells and/or frequencies due to CSG cell prioritization.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for reporting battery information including receiving configuration information including a reporting mode from a network entity; collecting the battery information of a user equipment (UE); preparing the battery information in the reporting mode; and sending the battery information in the reporting mode over a communications transport mechanism to the network entity. In one aspect, the apparatus and method receive battery information including selecting and configuring a reporting mode; sending configuration information over a communications transport mechanism to a user equipment (UE); and receiving the battery information from the UE, wherein the UE uses the configuration information and the reporting mode.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method comprising determining if the timing of a registration system information (RSI) or a paging occasion occurs first; if the paging occasion occurs first, checking for a page and answering the page on the target cell after collecting system information (SI) if the page exists; or if the timing of the RSI occurs first: reading RSI and obtaining a registration area indicator of the target cell; determining if the registration area indicators of a source cell and of the target cell are the same; if not, determining whether checking the page in the source cell would overlap with receiving SI from the target cell; if overlap, or if same, collect SI and monitor a paging channel in the target cell; or if no overlap, checking for the page in the source cell, and if no page, collect SI and monitor the paging channel in the target cell.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for controlling idle mode radio measurements comprising: determining if a radio measurement is less than a radio threshold; determining a time duration in which the radio measurement is less than the radio threshold; determining if the time duration is greater than a time measurement threshold; and obtaining at least one other radio measurement from at least one base station which is not a serving cell.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for access stratum management comprising reading system information from at least one broadcast channel from a current serving cell; and determining if an available cell is suitable for a user equipment (UE) based on information included in the broadcasted system information, wherein the determining step comprises at least one of the following: comparing system release information of the user equipment (UE) from the broadcasted system information; determining if the available cell supports a specific feature which makes the available cell suitable for optimum performance of the UE; or determining if the available cell and a frequency combination are suitable for a UE type.
