Abstract: In embodiments, apparatuses, methods, and storage media may be described for identifying, by a master evolved NodeB (MeNB), one or more packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) packets that were previously scheduled to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) by a secondary eNB (SeNB). The PDCP packets that are identified by the MeNB may then be transmitted, or retransmitted, to the UE. Additionally, embodiments may include apparatuses, methods, and storage media for allowing the UE to identify one or more parameters related to a PDCP reordering process to be performed by the UE. Other embodiments may be claimed.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for control of small data transmission by a user equipment (UE) are described herein. The UE may determine that data to be transmitted by the UE is small data if a size of the data is below a threshold. The UE may transmit a message indicating that the UE shall be transmitting small data responsive to determining that data to be transmitted by the UE is small data. The UE may receive a radio resource control (RRC) signal from an evolved Node B (eNodeB) that includes a logical channel identifier (LCID) of a small data radio bearer (SDRB) configured for transmission of small data. The UE may transmit small data on the SDRB subsequent to receiving the RRC signal from the eNodeB. The UE may refrain from transmitting other than small data on the SDRB. Other apparatuses and methods are described.

Abstract: Embodiments of a base station and method for early handover using uplink channel characteristics in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a method for handover determination is performed by an enhanced node B (eNB) operating as a serving cell base station. In these embodiments, a handover decision is based on a signal level of uplink transmissions of user equipment (UE) measured at a target cell base station in addition to signal levels of downlink signals of the target cell base station and downlink signals of a serving cell base station measured at the UE.

Abstract: User Equipment (UE) may skip the Access Class Barring (ACB) procedure for specific services, such as MMTEL voice, MMTEL video, and SMS. In one implementation, NAS layer of a UE may: receive, from an upper layer relative to the NAS layer, a request for a particular service type that is being originated by the UE; receive an indication, from a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the UE, that access to a cell, associated with the UE, is barred; and bypass the indication that access to the cell is barred, when the particular service type matches a predetermined set of service types. The bypassing may include: requesting that the RRC layer establish an RRC connection for the service request, and notifying the RRC layer that the request for the RRC connection corresponds to the particular service type.

Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) arranged for handover initiation in a cellular network comprising macro cells and micro cells are disclosed herein. The UE may determine application information associated with an application operating on the UE. The application information can include an operating system identifier. Additionally, the UE can generate a measurement report based on the determined application information. The measurement report can include the application information. Subsequently, the UE can send the measurement report configured to initiate a handover to an Evolved Node B (eNB). The handover can be to a micro cell or a macro cell based on the application information in the measurement report.

Abstract: A technology for a user equipment (UE) that is operable to connect to a third generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) cell in a cellular network. Logged minimization of drive test (MDT) measurements can be recorded at the UE at a selected rate when the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode in a first LTE cell in a cellular network. A change in a UE state of the RRC idle mode can be identified. The Logged MDT measurements can stop being recorded at the UE when the UE state changes from a camped normally UE state to another UE state of the RRC idle mode. The Logged MDT measurements can resume being recorded when the UE state changes to the camped normally UE state of the RRC idle mode.

Abstract: An evolved NodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and mobility management entity (MME), as well as method of communicating using a power saving mode (PSM) are generally described. A PSM configuration indication of the UE may be received at the eNB from the UE or MME in an Initial UE Context Setup Request, a UE Context Modify Request, core network as-eNB MME sistance information, or a dedicated message to the eNB. The eNB may adjust the time for transmitting to the UE an RRC connection release message based on the PSM configuration indication. The eNB may determine whether the UE is in a connection mode and the inactivity timer of the eNB having reached the activation timer of the PSM configuration indication, transmit the RRC connection release message to the MME. The PSM configuration may be provided between eNBs during handover.

Abstract: Application packet filters for mitigating traffic congestion in a network, and UEs and eNBs for using same, are disclosed. A UE may receive congestion control information of the network. The UE may compare the congestion control information with component values of one or more access control filters associated with a packet data network (PDN) connection to generate a congestion level comparison. The UE may transmit application data of an application matched to one of the one or more access control filters if the congestion level comparison indicates that transmission of the application data is allowed, and refrain from transmitting the application data otherwise. Other apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed.
