    Abstract: A radio access network (RAN): a core network (CN) or operations, administration, and management (0AM) node; and a user equipment (UE) can implement a method for managing Quality of Experience (QoE) reporting from the UE. The method includes: receiving, by processing hardware and from a UE, a request to reestablish a radio connection; retrieving, by the processing hardware, a configuration for the QoE reporting; and performing at least one of: (i) facilitating, by the processing hardware and after the retrieving, reporting of QoE measurements for the UE to the QoE node, or (ii) releasing the configuration.

    Abstract: To support packet-based call, a first base station (102, 104) receives, by processing hardware, an indication of whether a user device supports packet-based video over a certain RAT (2302). When the processing hardware at the first base station determines (2304), based on the received indication, that the first base station supports packet-based video over the certain RAT, the base station configures radio resources for establishing a new packet-based video call with the user device over the certain RAT (2306), or hands over an existing packet-based video call, established between the first base station and the user device, to a second base station that operates according to the certain RAT (2308).

    Abstract: To manage communications from a UE during a state transition, a central unit (CU) of a base station performs, by processing hardware, an early data transmission procedure with the UE while the UE is in an inactive state, including transmitting at least one data packet of a sequence of data packets to the UE (802). The CU determines to transition the UE from the inactive state to a connected state (808). In response to transitioning the UE to the connected state, the CU transmits, by the processing hardware, a next data packet in the sequence of data packets to the UE, or retransmits, by the processing hardware, the at least one data packet to the UE in response to determining the at least one data packet has not been received (812).

    Abstract: A user device (UE) for scheduling an uplink transmission assignment with a base station that communicates with the user device via a shared carrier, receives, from the base station, a configuration that indicates (i) a first channel access procedure for the user device to perform prior to transmitting an uplink transmission and (ii) at least one occasion at which the user device is to transmit the uplink transmission (1602); receives, from the base station via the shared carrier, a signal indicating at least a portion of a transmission time period during which the shared carrier is available to the base station (1604); and performs the first channel access procedure or a second channel access procedure before transmitting the uplink transmission based at least in part on whether the occasion is within the transmission time period (1606).

    Abstract: A method in a user equipment (UE) for managing information related to multicast and/or broadcast services (MBS), when the UE has a radio connection with a radio access network (RAN), includes transmitting (1602), to the RAN, an MBS interest indication that indicates a configuration according to which the UE prefers to receive an MBS transmission. The method also includes detecting (1604), subsequently to the transmitting, a failure on the radio connection, and processing (1606) the configuration in response to the detecting.

    Abstract: A first node of a radio access network (RAN) can implement a method for managing a connection between a network entity that supports packet-based calls and a UE in dual connectivity with an MN and an SN. The method includes communicating (1502), by processing hardware, information between the network entity and the UE, using a first radio bearer associated with an MCG for the UE. In addition, the method includes determining (1504), by the processing hardware, that the UE has detected an MCG failure. Further, the method includes sending, by the processing hardware, to a second node of the RAN supporting a secondary cell group (SCG) for the UE, a request to configure a second radio bearer to maintain the connection between the UE and the network entity using the second radio bearer.

    Abstract: This document describes methods and devices for a handover of a user equipment (110) from a Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) base station (121) to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) base station (122). The user equipment (110) may determine to release or keep a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity (312) depending on the whether the E-UTRA base station (122) is connected to an Evolved Packet Core (160) network or a Fifth Generation Core (150) network. The user equipment (110) may determine to release or keep the PDCP entity (312) depending based on a received NR Radio Resource Control (RRC) message or E-UTRA RRC message.

    Abstract: To resume a connection with a base station, a user equipment (UE) communicates messages with the base station in accordance with a format that corresponds to a first radio access technology (RAT), using a radio connection over a radio interface that conforms to a second RAT (702). The UE suspends the radio connection (704) and, subsequently to the suspending, transmits to the base station an indication that the radio connection has been resumed, in accordance with the format that corresponds to the first RAT (708).
