Abstract: User equipment may transmit and receive wireless signals to and from various communication networks. Furthermore, user equipment may indicate usage capabilities to the various wireless communication networks to enable the user equipment to transmit and/or receive wireless signals to and from at least two different communication networks. In particular, the user equipment may indicate usage capabilities of supporting both Frequency Range 2 (FR2) wireless signals of a fifth generation (5G) network and 7-24 gigahertz (GHz) wireless signals of a sixth generation (6G) network in an intermediate frequency range of the user equipment. The communication network(s) may then configure and/or schedule the user equipment based on the usage capabilities to enable the user equipment to simultaneously or non-simultaneously communicate using both the FR2 wireless signals and the 7-24 GHz wireless signals while preventing interference in the intermediate frequency range of the user equipment.

Abstract: A base station may transmit beams to user equipment. The user equipment may receive the beams and transmit a signal to a base station. The base station may determine signal characteristics associated with the beams based on the signal and compare the signal characteristics with predefined signal characteristics that correspond to potential locations of the user equipment. Based on this comparison, the base station may determine a position of the user equipment and transmit a targeted beam based on the position of the user equipment. The base station may also track the position of the user equipment and provide an updated targeted beam based on an updated position of the user equipment. Accordingly, the base station may efficiently form and update the targeted beam based on the predefined signal characteristics, thereby reducing an amount of time required to establish and maintain communication with the user equipment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing uplink (UL) gaps to facilitate user equipment (UE) calibration are disclosed herein. A UE determines one or more slot patterns of a slot configuration that is repeated during time division duplex (TDD) communication with a base station. The UE determines a UL gap periodicity (defining periods covering an integer number of repetitions of the slot configuration). The UE then performs UE calibration during one or more semi-persistently configured UL slots of a period of the UL gap periodicity that correspond to UL indication(s) in one or more of a common configuration, a dedicated configuration, and/or a slot format indication (SFI) downlink control information (DCI) for the slot pattern(s) of the slot configuration. Methods of identifying particular semi-persistently configured UL slots of a period to use for the UL gap are also discussed. UL slot indications from dynamic DCI are not used for UL gap purposes.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide various apparatuses and techniques to for enhanced handling of receiver desensitization, “desense,” in electronic devices that is caused by an operation of the device. In an embodiment, sensitivity of a receiver affected by desense may be determined based on receiver sensitivity without desense and a desense offset value. Desense mitigation measures may be applied based on the strength of the signal received by the receiver being less than the receiver sensitivity affected by desense. The desense mitigation measures may include deactivating the device operation that causes desense, enabling the device operation that causes desense only during certain times, and enabling antenna diversity. In some embodiments, various power and signal-to-noise ratio thresholds may be used for conditional application of different desense mitigation measures. For example, to enable receiver diversity on the device, strength of the signal needs to be below one power threshold and above another power threshold.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for triggering and using uplink gaps in cellular networks. A method of an embodiment comprises: transmitting, to a base station, an indication of an uplink (UL) gap capability or preference of the UE for body proximity sensing (BPS) or transceiver calibration; activating a UL gap configuration based on an activation command received from a network; and performing operations for BPS or transceiver calibration within a UL gap defined by the UL gap configuration.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a user equipment (UE) connected to a network using FR1 and configured for mmWave beam measurement to communicate using FR2. The UE receives, from a base station, measurement configuration information including an indication of measurement opportunities. The UE determines that a current data traffic type is associated with mmWave communication. In response to the current data traffic type being associated with the mmWave communication, the UE performs an FR2 cell addition measurement decision. The FR2 cell addition measurement decision may be based on one or more of signal quality feedback, sensor input, UE motion state, and geographic (geo) location information associated with FR2 cell information. Based on the FR2 cell addition measurement decision, the UE suppresses or selects a next measurement opportunity of the measurement opportunities for measuring one or more mmWave signals.

Abstract: User equipment in close proximity may transfer data and control information. For example, the user equipment may exchange data or data sets between each other. Each user equipment can receive and transmit data using radio access technologies. A group of user equipments may include active user equipment and passive user equipment. Active user equipment connects with one or more base stations and transfers data on a wireless communication network via the base station. The active user equipment may communicate with other active user equipment and passive user equipment. Passive user equipment may not connect to any base station and/or the wireless communication network and may communicate with other passive user equipment and active user equipment (e.g., via a sidelink, peer-to-peer, or device-to-device channel).

Abstract: A wireless network may include a base station and user equipment (UE). The UE may transmit uplink (UL) signals to the base station using a dynamically adjustable maximum UL duty cycle. When the UE identifies that a user is in proximity to the UE, the UE may transmit an indicator to the base station. The indicator may identify that a radio-frequency exposure (RFE) event has occurred and/or a suggested maximum UL duty cycle that would allow the UE to satisfy limits on RFE. The base station may limit a UL grant to the UE so that the UE performs subsequent communications using the suggested maximum UL duty cycle or a different maximum UL duty cycle. Coordinating adjustment of UL duty cycle in this way may allow the UE to meet limits on RFE without requiring the UE to perform maximum transmit power level reductions.
