Abstract: A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component) can process or generate a one-step paging reception or a two-step paging reception based on being in a sub-state of an idle mode. A UE can enter into an idle state to enable a decreased power consumption of battery, and further reduce power consumption by only monitoring a PDCCH in response to operating in a camped on any cell state, and eliminate processing a paging message when in the camped on any cell state.

Abstract: Techniques described herein allow for mobile positioning (i.e., the determination of the position of the UE) to be performed when the UE is in Idle mode. In some implementations, assistance data, that is used by the UE as part of the mobile positioning procedure, may be broadcast to the UE or transmitted to the UE within paging messages. The assistance data can potentially be sent to the UE in a number of time slots. In some implementations, the UE may perform measurements needed for mobile positioning only within discontinuous reception (DRX) occasions. Alternatively, in some implementations, the UE may perform measurements needed for mobile positioning outside of DRX occasions.

Abstract: Coordination of RRC configurations between an LTE NB and an NR NB in dual connectivity with a UE are performed using an RRC container that includes shared or coordinated parameters. For example, an NR NB determines to alter a configuration of a UE. The NR NB transmits a coordinated RRC container with coordinated UE parameters to an LTE NB and transmits a UE parameter RRC container to the LTE NB. The LTE NB evaluates the coordinated container for compliance with the UE capability. If satisfied, the LTE NB can send both containers (in a single RRC message or multiple RRC messages) to the UE.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to techniques for paging in a wireless network. In some embodiments, a mobility management entity (MME) may determine a user equipment (UE) is associated with a predetermined category and adjust paging mechanisms based on said determination. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) operable to perform inter-frequency measurements is disclosed. The UE can decode an information element (IE) received from an eNodeB. The UE can determine whether the IE received from the eNodeB includes a reduced measurement performance field. The UE can determine that a neighboring inter-frequency is configured for a reduced measurement performance when the reduced measurement performance field is included in the IE.

Abstract: An approach is described for a user equipment (UE) configured for a new radio (NR) system with unlicensed spectrum. The UE includes processor circuitry that performs a first channel load measurement at a first frequency of a serving cell and a second channel load measurement at a second frequency of a neighbor cell and associates a report with the first channel load measurement and the second channel load measurement. At least one of the first frequency and the second frequency is in the unlicensed spectrum. The UE also includes radio front end circuitry that is coupled to the processor circuitry and configured to transmit the report to an access node (AN).

Abstract: An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to configure a set of resources for New Radio (NR) vehicle-to-everything (V2X) transmission over sidelink for communication with one or more other UEs, and to allocate the resources for transmitting one or more packets from an NR network to the one or more other UEs via the sidelink. The apparatus can include a memory to store the configuration of resources.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for improving configured grant for new radio (NR) unlicensed. For example, some embodiments are directed to an electronic device including radio front end circuitry and processor circuitry. The processor circuitry can be configured to receive, using the radio front end circuitry, a message from a base station and, based on the received message, determine whether to use a lowest Channel Access Priority Class (CAPC) or a highest Units (SDUs) that are multiplexed in one or more MAC Protocol Data Units (PDUs) for an uplink (UL)transmission. The processor circuitry transmits, using the radio front end circuitry, the MAC PDU to the base station.

Abstract: An apparatus of user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory, where to configure the UE for communication of data in a New Radio-Unlicensed (NR-U) spectrum, the processing circuitry is to decode RRC signaling from a base station. The RRC signaling includes configuration information to configure a listen-before-talk (LBT) timer and a scheduling request (SR) prohibit timer. An LBT procedure is performed while the LBT timer is activated. An SR is encoded for transmission to the base station, based on detecting an unoccupied transmission resource within the NR-U spectrum during the LBT procedure. The SR transmission activates the SR prohibit timer. An uplink grant from the base station is decoded in response to the SR, the uplink grant received while the SR prohibit timer is activated. A buffer status report (BSR) is encoded for transmission to the base station based on the uplink grant.
