Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate generally to a communication between a user equipment (UE) and an evolved Node B (eNB) that are both running in Enhanced Coverage (EC) mode. The UE and eNB may communicate in a contention-based random access procedure having an EC level that may be used to determine the number of times an RA preamble may be sent, and one or more RA response opportunity windows that may be used to receive one or more RA responses. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Adaptive paging techniques for EC-capable devices are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise at least one memory and logic for an evolved node B (eNB), at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory, the logic to receive an S1 paging message comprising a user equipment (UE) identifier (ID) associated with a UE and an extended coverage (EC) capability indicator indicating that the UE is EC-capable and page the UE using an EC paging sequence based on receipt of the S1 paging message, the EC paging sequence to comprise a series of transmissions of a radio resource control (RRC) paging message, the logic to truncate the EC paging sequence based on a determination that the UE has responded to RRC paging. Other embodiments are described and 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: 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: An eNodeB (eNB) and user equipment (UE) are provided that detect whether the UE is in coverage enhancement mode and if so uses a modified version of the Radio Link Control (RLC) configuration in communications between the eNB and UE. Detection mechanisms may differ between the eNB and UE and may include direct signaling between the eNB and UE, the ability to receive control signaling only through particular modified signaling procedures, low power of certain received control signals or lack of response to certain control signals within various predetermined time periods. The modified RLC configuration permits a smaller amount of data than a standard RLC configuration to be transmitted by a transmitting device before a receiving device is able to be polled for information regarding reception by the receiving device of the transmitted data.

Abstract: Technology for providing core network assistance information from a mobility management entity (MME) in an evolved packet core (EPC) is disclosed. An average radio resource control (RRC) connected state time for a UE is determined. An average RRC idle state time for the UE is also determined. An amount of time that the UE spends in cells of the EPC is identified to determine a number of handover procedures between cells in a selected time period. The core network assistance information communicated to a serving eNB of the UE to enable the serving eNB to reduce UE state transitions for the UE.

Abstract: Devices and methods of enhanced coverage (EC) paging are generally described. An evolved Node-B (eNB) may transmit multiple EC paging messages to user equipment (UE) over at least one paging cycle. Each EC paging message may contain the same paging information. The UE may combine the individual EC paging messages to achieve a predetermined link budget and subsequently may decode the EC combined paging message to determine whether the combined paging message is directed to the UE. The EC paging messages may contain information for more than one UE and a legacy P-RNTI or a specific P-RNTI for EC mode UEs. The EC paging messages may be transmitted in legacy occasions over several paging cycles or non-legacy paging occasions over one or more paging cycles. The EC paging messages may be transmitted in continuous or non-continuous subframes in a particular paging cycle.

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: Embodiments of techniques and systems for extended discontinuous reception (DRX) are described herein. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) configured for extended DRX may include receiver circuitry and paging circuitry. The receiver circuitry may be configured to receive a system frame number from an eNB and receive extension data from the eNB. The paging circuitry may be configured to determine an augmented system frame number based on the system frame number and the extension data, determine a paging frame number based on the extension data, and monitor for paging occasions when the augmented system frame number is equal to the paging frame number. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
