Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to establish network connections for long-term evolution (LTE) and new radio (NR) radio access technologies (RATS) in non-standalone (NSA) E-UTRA-NR dual connectivity (ENDC) operation. The UE includes a multi-antenna array for data and signaling transmissions and receptions over the LTE and NR connections. The UE determines a most efficient antenna of the multi-antenna array for an operating frequency band of the LTE and NR connections, wherein the most efficient antenna is determined based on at least one performance factor for the UE when using the antenna compared to other antennas of the multi-antenna array, evaluates one or more factors for determining whether the LTE RAT or the NR RAT is to use the most efficient antenna and transmits uplink data on the most efficient antenna via either the LTE RAT or the NR RAT based on the evaluated factors.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to methods and devices for mitigating overheating in a user equipment device (UE). The UE is configured to communicate over each of LTE and 5G NR and may be configured to communicate through 5G NR over each of a Sub-6GHz and a millimeter Wave (mmW) frequency band. The UE is configured to establish an ENDC connection with an enB and one or more gNBs. The UE implements intelligent transmission modification and cell measurement adjustments to mitigate overheating and reduce battery drain.

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 user equipment (UE) supports communication over a first (lower) frequency range and a second (higher) frequency range. The UE determines an extent of preference of the second frequency range over the first frequency range, e.g., based on one or more of the following: sensor measurements; physical channel measurements; battery conditions; weather conditions; voice call activity; indoor/outdoor/in-car status; learned relationships between previous location-time conditions and performance on the second frequency range; etc. The UE device may control search activity and/or measurement activity on the second frequency range based on the preference extent, e.g., by controlling rates of repetition of search and/or measurement on the second frequency range, or by adding a measurement bias to a measurement reporting threshold, or by adding a delay to a measurement reporting time for a measurement, or by disabling search and measurement on the second frequency range.
