Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may support multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) operation in dual SIM dual active (DSDA) deployments. In some aspects, the UE may dynamically allocate its hardware capabilities between a first network subscription and a second network subscription based on current or predicted future network conditions. The UE may predict future network conditions based on past and/or current measurement reports of network conditions. In some aspects, a UE may determine that a first network subscription's hardware capability is better suited to perform one or more network measurements assigned to a second network subscription of the UE. The UE may perform one or more network measurements assigned to the second network subscription via the first network subscription, and then transmit the report to the network via the second network subscription.

Abstract: A UE may determine use of a sensor or an interface of the UE, and in response, may adjust at least one of a beam selection, a transmission power, an operation mode, or a performance of carrier aggregation for the UE. A base station may receive an indication from the UE that a carrier for which the UE is configured has an effect on performance of a sensor or an interface of the UE. The base station may adjust a configuration of the carrier or adjusting uplink grants for the carrier in response to receiving the indication from the UE.

Abstract: A method of indicating resources for uplink-based positioning includes: determining whether a UE is within a downlink coverage area of a serving cell, for a first frequency band and a transmit power of the serving cell, and outside an uplink coverage area of the serving cell for the first frequency band and a transmit power of the UE; identifying a second frequency band supported by the UE, the second frequency band including frequencies below a lowest frequency of the first frequency band; and providing at least one PRS indication indicating at least OFDM UL-PRS resources in the second frequency band for the UE based on a determination that the UE is outside the uplink coverage area of the serving cell for the first frequency band and the transmit power of the UE.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for network mode selection based on positioning system information blocks (SIBs). An example method for measuring positioning reference signals with a user equipment includes receiving one or more system information blocks containing positioning reference signal information, determining band and frequency information for positioning reference signals based on the one or more system information blocks, determining at least one operational constraint for the user equipment, determining a network mode for the user equipment based at least on the band and frequency information and the at least one operational constraint, and measuring one or more positioning reference signals based at least in part on the network mode.

Abstract: A method of wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) includes detecting, in response to a bandwidth part (BWP) switch, a first BWP of a first carrier aggregation signal and a second BWP of a second carrier aggregation signal. The first BWP of the first carrier aggregation signal and the second BWP of the second carrier aggregation signal are each within a predetermined frequency range of each other. The method also includes tuning a radio frequency (RF) channel to a center of a wideband channel including the first BWP and the second BWP. The method further includes processing the wideband channel including both the first BWP of the first carrier aggregation signal and the second BWP of the second carrier aggregation signal with a single phase locked loop (PLL).

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine predicted mobility information associated with the UE that indicates a predicted route of the UE and one or more cells associated with the predicted route. The UE may transmit the predicted mobility information to a source base station. The UE may perform a handover of the UE from the source base station to a target base station based at least in part on the predicted mobility information. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to be connected to multiple wireless networks, including e.g., a 5G New Radio (NR) network and an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN). The UE may assign one of the networks with a higher priority for connection. The UE monitors wireless signal metrics to determine if the priority assignment of the networks should be inverted. The UE may monitor the expected data throughput, e.g., determined based on the availability of carrier aggregation, the carrier aggregation order, the multiple in multiple out (MIMO) order, the available bandwidth, E-UTRAN NR—Dual connectivity (ENDC) availability, or quality metrics of wireless signals from one or both wireless networks. The UE may further dynamically select a carrier subscription as the Default Data Subscription (DDS) based on the metrics as well as whether a wireless network associated with a carrier subscription supports ENDC.

Abstract: Sharing of frequency generator settings in a network are disclosed. In a particular implementation, a method of wireless communication includes determining, by a user equipment (UE), a first frequency setting for a frequency generator of a UE. The first frequency setting is associated with a first frequency. The method includes modifying the first frequency setting to generate a second frequency setting for the frequency generator. The second frequency setting is associated with a second frequency that is different from the first frequency. The method also includes generating a message that indicates the second frequency setting. The method further includes transmitting the message from the UE to a base station.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a frequency overlap between a first transmission, with a first base station associated with a first subscription of the UE, on a first bandwidth part, and a second transmission, with a second base station associated with a second subscription of the UE, on a second bandwidth part. The UE may transmit, to the second base station, a request for a new bandwidth part for the second subscription, based at least in part on the frequency overlap satisfying a condition. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods and techniques are described for supporting location services for a user equipment (UE) in a Fifth Generation wireless network in which a base station, such as a gNB or ng-eNB, broadcasts a Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) in a plurality of different directions and at a plurality of different times. A PRS muting configuration is used in which PRS is muted using a time based and angle based pattern to prevent interference between beams transmitted by other base stations and/or to prevent interference between beams transmitted simultaneously by a single base station. The time based and angle based muting pattern, for example, may provide an indication for each direction in the plurality of different directions and for each time in the plurality of different times and as to whether the PRS is transmitted or muted by the base station.
