Abstract: A processor has circuitry that executes instructions to cause a user equipment (UE) to perform operations. The operations include determining to offload a task to a network node. The operations include transmitting an offload request to the network node, wherein the offload request comprises a size of an expected response and a latest receipt time. The operations include determining a wakeup time that is earlier than the latest receipt time. The operations include entering a power-saving mode until the wakeup time. The operations include exiting the power-saving mode at the wakeup time. The operations include monitoring a communication channel for the expected response from the network node until the latest receipt time. Also disclosed are a UE and a method.

Abstract: When a user equipment (UE) encounters a radio link failure condition, the UE may transmit a radio link failure report to a network. The report may include information defining the radio link monitoring (RLM) resources of a current RLM configuration. The information may take the form of a resource bitmap or a list of resource identifiers/indices. The network may use the information (and radio resource management measurements) to determine whether the radio link failure occurred due to misconfiguration of RLM resources for the UE. In cases where the network does not provide RLM configuration, the UE may omit the bitmap (or list), or populate the bitmap with all zeros, or populate the bitmap (or list) according to a currently active Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state, which is indicated by downlink control information (DCI).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums are configured to perform operations including detecting a plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) that are transmitted for a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), each of the SSBs having a SSB index comprising a set of bit values; detecting, from the plurality of SSBs, a first SSB received at a first time and a second SSB received at a second time that is different from the first time; decoding, for a first SSB of the plurality, first bit values of a first SSB index representing the first SSB and of a second SSB index representing the second SSB; determining, based on the first time and the second time, a receive time gap between the first SSB and the second SSB; and determining, based on the receive time gap and the first bit values of the first SSB index and the second SSB index, at least a second bit value of the first second SSB index representing the first SSB and the second SSB representing the second SSB.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for coordinated measurement scheme for wireless communication devices in a subnetwork. In one aspect, a management node collects cell strength measurement data from reference devices in the subnetwork and broadcasts the cell strength measurement data to the subnetwork for use by the wireless communication devices within the subnetwork in generating cell strength measurement results. In another aspect, wireless network devices in the subnetwork receive cell strength measurement data generated by reference devices in the subnetwork and use a the received cell strength measurement data to generate a cells strength measurement result.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate enhanced radio resource management measurements for wireless technology including New Radio (NR). One example aspect is a baseband processor of a user equipment (UE), including one or more processors configured to receive a measurement link information state link information. The one or more processors are further configured to determine, from the measurement link information, a number of synchronization signal block based measurement timing configurations (SMTCs) (Y) per Rx beam of a number of receive (Rx) beams (N); generate at least one of a subset number of Rx beams (NUE) of the number of Rx beams based on the measurement link information, or an increased number of SMTCs (YUE) of the number of SMTCs corresponding to the number of Rx beams; and perform radio resource management (RRM) measurements according to one or more of the subset number of Rx beams or the increased number of SMTCs.
