Abstract: A device and method for a user equipment (UE) to reduce signaling with a network by conditionally barring the transmission of a particular signal to the network. The UE determines that a first predetermined condition related to radio conditions between the UE and the first cell is satisfied. The UE determines whether to activate a first mode of operation or a second mode of operation based on a second predetermined condition. The first mode of operation includes transmitting a signal that is intended to cause the release of a bearer between the UE and a packet data network (PDN). The second mode of operation includes barring the transmission of the signal that is intended to cause the release of the bearer between the UE and the PDN.

Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to adaptively manage system information, particularly on-demand system information. A UE may receive mandatory system information from a wireless network and may determine that at least some additional, e.g., on-demand, system information would be beneficial. The UE may evaluate whether a condition is met to request the additional system information and may initiate a random access procedure to request the additional system information. If the random access procedure fails, the UE may adjust its behavior, including reselection behavior, in response to lacking the additional system information.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (UE) conducting wireless communications according to a specified radio access technology (RAT) in a first communications band belonging to a first network may be required to switch to a different communications band due to network restrictions and/or radio link failure. The UE may therefore perform a system scan identifying other communications bands associated with the first RAT and available at the present location of the UE. The UE may identify whether the other communications bands include preferred communications bands belonging to the first network, support a service associated with the wireless communications of the UE, and have an energy level higher than a specified threshold. If one or more preferred communications bands are present, the UE may switch communications from the first communications band to one of the preferred communications bands, even if it doesn't have the highest energy level among all the other communications bands.

Abstract: A cellular communications system may include a user equipment (UE) that executes a target and non-target applications. The UE may convey a first stream of non-quality-of-service (QoS) wireless data with a first external device over a first Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) session and may receive a second stream of non-QoS wireless data from a second external device over a second TCP session. Responsive to a drop in data rate of the first stream, the UE may perform mitigation operations that adjust receipt of the second stream to boost the data rate of the first stream. The mitigation operations may include transmission of a triple duplicate acknowledgement (TDA), delayed transmission of an acknowledgment (ACK) to the second stream, and/or terminating the second TCP session. This may prevent disruptions to user experience with the first software application even when the network has downlink data to transmit to the UE.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and processors are provided for supporting a distributed computing framework. In one example, a wireless communication device is configured to act as a distributed computing control node (ContN), the wireless communication device including a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, cause the device to receive respective registration messages from respective wireless communication devices. The registration messages include registration information indicating whether a respective wireless communication device acts as an offload node (OffN) for distributed computing or a compute node (CompN) for distributed computing. The processor is configured to store the registration information in a resource repository and, based on the registration information of the respective wireless communication devices, transmit a resource availability message indicating available distributed computing resources to wireless communication devices acting as OffNs.

Abstract: A service device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), or other network component) can operate generate sidelink communications with peer UE devices based on PC5 unicast link to enable a direct peer-to-peer communication as part of PC5 vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications. Radio status link detection can be configured based on a keep alive (KA) coordination scheme via the PC5 unicast link to monitor a status of the PC5 unicast link. A KA timer can be configured based on the KA coordination scheme via the PC5 unicast link. The KA coordination scheme is configured to reduce redundant KA requests in the PC5 unicast link to coordinate the direct peer-to-peer communication across the PC5 unicast link.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing conditional handover candidate cell selection in a wireless communication system. A wireless device and a cellular base station may establish a wireless link. The wireless device may receive conditional handover configuration information. The conditional handover configuration information may indicate one or more conditions for performing handover and cell candidates for the conditional handover. The wireless device may determine that multiple cell candidates meet the conditions for performing handover. A cell candidate to which to perform handover may be selected based at least in part on one or more wireless device conditions. The wireless device may perform handover to the selected cell candidate.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for tracking and/or controlling unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as well as tracking UAV controllers (UACs) within a cellular network. A UAV/UAC may provide a cellular network with tracking information such as speed, orientation, altitude, C2 communication quality, C2 communication mode change request, measurement report, RRC status, cell ID, TAC ID, current location of the UAV, and destination of the UAV. The network may forward this information to an unmanned aerial system (UAS) traffic management system (UTM). The UTM may determine, based in part on the tracking information, whether to transfer control of the UAV from the UAC to the UTM. In some embodiments, the UAV/UAC may trigger the UTM to transfer control of the UAV form the UAC to the UTM.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing network slice quota management. A network slice quota management function may store capacity information for one or more network slices. The network slice quota management function may receive a request for an indication of whether a network slice has additional capacity. The network slice quota management function may provide an indication of whether the network slice has additional capacity in response to the request. The capacity information may relate to the capacity of the network slice with respect to the number of wireless devices registered for the network slice, or to the capacity of the network slice with respect to the number of packet sessions established with the network slice, or both, among various possibilities.

Abstract: Computer systems and methods are described for operating a network data and analytics function (NWDAF) in a cellular core network. The NWDAF receives user equipment (UE) mobility information from a first network function of the cellular network system and receives edge application server (EAS) information from a second network function of the cellular network system. The NWDAF derives data analytics based at least in part on the UE mobility information and the edge application server information. The NWDAF receives a request for the data analytics from a third network function in the cellular network system, and provides the data analytics to the third network function.
