    Abstract: Device-to-device (D2D) communications in conjunction with carrier aggregation. A base station (BS) may coordinate D2D communication between two wireless user equipment (UE) devices. A primary cell may be configured for communicating with each of the UEs. A secondary cell may be configured for D2D communication between the two UEs. The primary cell and the secondary cell may utilize different component carriers. Additionally, cross-carrier scheduling may be used, such that at least some control information for the secondary cell is communicated via the primary cell.

    Abstract: An electronic device uses one antenna to wirelessly communicate information with two different wireless networks via concurrent connections associated with different radio access technologies. More specifically, the electronic device may receive video via a first of the connections using a multicast communication protocol. In order to maintain the second connection, the electronic device may switch, for a time interval, from the first connection to the second connection during switching events. This switching can disrupt displayed content associated with the video. To prevent this disruption, in response to a trigger that warns of an upcoming switching event, the electronic device accesses a portion of the video in a buffer during the time interval associated with the switching event. When the communication circuit switches back to the first connection after the switching event, the electronic device reverts to the video communication using the multicast communication protocol.

    Abstract: A method for customized coexistence management based on user behavior is disclosed. The method can include a wireless communication device determining a behavior pattern of a user of the wireless communication device; assigning a priority level to each of a first application and a second application based on the behavior pattern; using a first wireless communication interface to support data communication for the first application; using a second wireless communication interface to support data communication for the second application concurrent with data communication for the first application over the first wireless communication interface; and managing in-device coexistence of the first wireless communication interface and the second wireless communication interface during concurrent data communication for the first application and the second application based on the priority level assigned to the first application and the priority level assigned to the second application.

    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for performing handover of a mobile station (MS) between a base station (BS) and an access point (AP) are described. In one embodiment, the MS may receive one or more threshold values for reporting measurements to the BS. The MS may convert the threshold values to device-specific threshold values. The MS may determine one or more network quality values associated with the AP. The MS may compare the network quality values to the device-specific threshold values. In response to the network quality values exceeding the device-specific threshold values, the MS may convert the network quality values to calibrated network quality values. The MS may provide the calibrated network quality values. The MS may perform handover from the BS to the AP based on providing the calibrated network quality values to the BS.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for crowdsourced data assisted personalized network slicing, e.g., in 5G NR systems and beyond. A UE may receive crowdsourced data associated with network slice configurations and determine, based, at least in part, on the crowdsourced data, radio channel metrics that will indicate degradation of key performance indicators (KPIs) for a network slice. The UE may monitor the radio channel metrics and request, based on the monitoring, to change to one of a different radio access network (RAN) configuration (that is better for its currently used network slice) or to a different network slice all together.
