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: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing vehicle-to-everything sidelink communication. A wireless device may receive vehicle-to-everything resource pool configuration information and sidelink control information. A number of resource elements allocated for a vehicle-to-everything physical sidelink shared channel may be determined based at least in part on the resource pool configuration information and the sidelink control information. A transport block size for the vehicle-to-everything physical sidelink shared channel may be determined based at least in part on the number of resource elements allocated for the vehicle-to-everything physical sidelink shared channel. A low density parity check base graph may be selected for the vehicle-to-everything physical sidelink shared channel based at least in part on the determined transport block size.

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 monitor a first search space (SS) corresponding to an active first component carrier (CC), and detect first control information (CI) that identifies an inactive second CC. In response to receiving the first CI, the device may activate the inactive second CC to make it an active second CC. The device may also set up a second SS corresponding to the active second CC, and may monitor the second SS to schedule the active second CC and receive a physical data channel. The first CI may also include additional scheduling information and a start time for reception of the physical data channel. The device may operate in a first bandwidth part (BWP) according to a first communication configuration associated with the first bandwidth part, and may switch to operating in a second BWP and to operating according to a second communication configuration associated with the second BWP.

Abstract: Techniques for identity-based message integrity protection and verification between a user equipment (UE) and a wireless network entity, include use of signatures derived from identity-based keys. To protect against attacks from rogue network entities before activation of a security context with a network entity, the UE verifies integrity of messages by checking a signature using an identity-based public key PKID derived by the UE based on (i) an identity value (ID) of the network entity and (ii) a separate public key PKPKG of a private key generator (PKG) server. The network entity generates signatures for messages using an identity-based private key SKID obtained from the PKG server, which generates the identity-based private key SKID using (i) the ID value of the network entity and (ii) a private key SKPKG that is known only by the PKG server and corresponds to the public key PKPKG.

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: The systems, methods, and apparatuses can receive one or more communication signals traversing through a communication channel. The systems, methods, and apparatuses can estimate one or more known parameters, characteristics, and/or attributes of the communication channel, for example, scattering, fading, and/or power decay over distance, through a process referred to as channel estimation. The systems, methods, and apparatuses can develop various channel coefficients, for example, amplitudes and/or phases, describing the channel response of the communication channel at discrete intervals of time, also referred to as taps. The systems, methods, and apparatuses can assign taps to various priorities and, thereafter, utilize these priorities to selectively include their corresponding channel coefficients in a CSI report or exclude their corresponding channel coefficients from the CSI report.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods may determine a transport block size using a number of resource elements for sidelink data. The number of resource elements for the sidelink data is calculated based at least on a reference second stage Sidelink Control Information (SCI) overhead. The reference second stage SCI overhead is calculated using the reference coding rate, the reference beta offset, the reference PSFCH symbol number, the alpha value, and the second stage SCI payload size.
