    Abstract: An electronic device discussed herein may communicatively couple to a base station. The base station may receive a first paging cycle assignment corresponding to a first subscriber identification module (SIM) card and determine a second paging cycle assignment for use with a second SIM card. The second paging cycle assignment may be generated based on the first paging cycle assignment. The base station may communicate with the electronic device using the second paging cycle assignment. The second paging cycle assignment may guide the base station to transmit data to the electronic device without interrupting a transmission made according to the first paging cycle assignment.

    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: An electronic device discussed herein may include radio frequency communication circuitry for communication on a radio frequency network according to a communication configuration, a processor, and memory. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to perform operations including receiving, a first muting configuration indicating when the radio frequency communication circuitry is to communicate using a first type of communication on a first frequency band and when the radio frequency communication circuitry is to communicate using a second type of communication on a second frequency band, where the first frequency band may overlap with the second frequency band. The memory may store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to perform operations including transmitting or receiving a data packet using the radio frequency communication circuitry according to the communication configuration.

    Abstract: A base station may send an indication of frequency subranges supported by the base station to user equipment, which may respond with an indication of the frequency subranges that are also supported by the user equipment. Additionally, a Spectrum Access System (SAS) controller, using environmental sensing capability sensors, may determine whether non-federal networks are disposed in a coverage area of a base station and neighboring coverage areas. If so, then the SAS may indicate to the base station to send an indication to user equipment in the coverage area to operate using a default power mode. Otherwise, the SAS may indicate to the base station to send an indication to the user equipment to operate using a lower power mode. Moreover, a base station may indicate a regulatory requirement to user equipment using network signaling value of multiple network signaling values corresponding to multiple regulatory requirements of multiple geographical regions.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for coordinating transmission and reception of data according to multiple communication standards over a frequency band. In particular, one or more base stations/mobile electronic devices may determine a first data size of first data to be sent conforming to a first communication standard and a second data size of second data conforming to a second communication standard. A first time period may then be determined for which to send the first data based on the first data size, and a second time period may be determined for which to send the second data based on the second data size. In response to determining that the frequency channel is clear of other transmissions, the first data may be sent according to the first standard in the first time period, and the second data may be sent according to the second standard in the second time period.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to allocating a satellite band (e.g., a satellite channel) with a New Radio (NR) channel and at least one Long-Term Evolution (LTE) channel to enable a user equipment to communicate using a satellite network. The satellite band may be configured to include the NR channel positioned (e.g., placed) such that the NR channel is shifted away from an edge of the satellite band (e.g., not disposed or located at the edge of the satellite band) and/or in the middle (e.g., center) of the satellite band with respect to frequency. Additionally, the satellite band may be configured to include the at least one LTE channel positioned at one or both of outer edges of the satellite band (rather than the middle). Further, the NR channel may be placed within a carrier center frequency range to reduce allowed additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) values.

    Abstract: A wake-up signal (WUS) network (separate from a cellular network) includes WUS nodes that broadcast WUSs targeting WUS receivers of user equipment (UE). The WUSs may have low frequencies, such as within a television whitespace spectrum. When the cellular network determines that a UE should enter a power saving mode, or when a cellular receiver of the UE enters an idle state, the cellular network may request resources for the UE from a WUS node and activate a WUS receiver of the UE. When the cellular network has data to send to the UE or a threshold time has expired, the cellular network may request a WUS from the WUS network, which broadcasts the WUS that may be received by the UE. If the UE has data to transmit to the cellular network, the cellular network may request that the WUS node stop providing resources to the UE.
