Abstract: Apparatus and methods for estimating a location of a wireless device in communication with a wireless network, such as an LTE/LTE-A network, based at least in part on WLAN/WPAN AP measurements and/or barometric measurements are disclosed. The wireless device responds to a location capability inquiry from the wireless network by providing a response that indicates the wireless device is configurable to estimate its location based on WLAN/WPAN AP and/or barometric measurements. The wireless network sends WLAN/WPAN AP and/or barometric reference information to the wireless device to assist in estimating its location. The wireless device measures one or more WLAN/WPAN APs, and the wireless device uses the WLAN/WPAN AP and/or barometric measurements to estimate its location. In some embodiments, GPS/GNSS information is used in conjunction with WLAN/WPAN AP and/or barometric measurements to estimate the location of the wireless device.

Abstract: Approaches are described to enhance radio link monitoring and link recovery for the integration of non-terrestrial networks (e.g., satellites) into next generation wireless communication networks. Certain approaches describe the modification of block error rate threshold requirements based on the particulars of the satellites involved, and the procedure for making those modifications. Other approaches describe the modification of the evaluation period based on the particulars of the satellites involved, and the procedure for making those modifications. In making these modifications, user-equipment (UE)-specific margins are also considered. In addition, modifications to the procedure for higher priority cell search are also described when non-terrestrial wireless communication networks are involved.

Abstract: A base station includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to transmit a first synchronization signal block (SSB) burst including a first set of SSBs. The first set of SSBs is transmitted via the transceiver on a first set of beams having a first beam pattern. The processor is also configured to signal, via the transceiver, a change in beam pattern for transmitted SSBs. The change in beam pattern is signaled before or during transmission of a second SSB burst. The processor is further configured to transmit the second SSB burst. The second SSB burst includes a second set of SSBs transmitted via the transceiver on a second set of beams having a second beam pattern. The second set of beams has a different number of beams than the first set of beams, and the second set of SSBs has a different number of SSBs than the first set of SSBs.

Abstract: A user equipment including a transceiver and a processor is configured to receive, from a base station and via the transceiver, a set of resource indicators identifying a set of beams and a configuration for reporting a duty cycle for transmission in an uplink direction for at least one resource indicator of the set of resource indicators. The processor is also configured to, at least one of periodically or based on an event reported by a body proximity sensor (BPS), determine the duty cycle for transmission in the uplink direction for the at least one resource indicator of the set of resource indicators; and transmit, to the base station via using the transceiver, the determined duty cycle and the corresponding at least one resource indicator of the set of resource indicators according to the received configuration for reporting the duty cycle.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to perform measurements during two or more measurement gaps (MGs). The UE receives a MG configuration, wherein the MG configuration includes multiple MGs and MG conflict resolution information, determines whether a conflict exists between two or more of the MGs, selects at least one of the two or more MGs that have the conflict based on the MG conflict resolution information and performs signal measurements during the selected at least one of the two or more MGs that have the conflict.

Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing mechanisms for managing dormant cell(s) within a set of cells for multi-cell scheduling. For example, a UE can be configured to receive information associated with a set of cells for multi-cell scheduling and determine a first reference cell based on the received information. The UE is further configured to determine a second reference cell for performing one or more of blind decode counting and control channel element counting in response to determining that the first reference cell is in a dormant mode. The UE is further configured to perform the one or more of blind decode counting and control channel element counting using the second reference cell.
