Abstract:
Devices, methods, user equipment (UE), base stations, storage media, and other embodiments are provided for a dynamic random access channel (RACH). In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a memory configured to store a configuration communication from a base station, the configuration communication comprising a dynamic dedicated random access channel (RACH) configuration (RACH-ConfigDedicated) information element, the RACH-ConfigDedicated information element comprising a plurality of dedicated random access parameters. Processing circuitry coupled to the memory is then configured to decode the configuration communication from the base station to identify the plurality of dedicated random access parameters and set up a RACH procedure for connection to the base station using the plurality of dedicated random access parameters. In various embodiments, different communications may be used for the dedicated random access parameters which are used in the RACH procedure.
Abstract:
Embodiments of apparatus and methods for signaling for resource allocation and scheduling in 5G-NR integrated access and backhaul are generally described herein. In some embodiments, User Equipment configured for reporting a channel quality indicator (CQI) index in a channel state information (CSI) reference resource assumes a physical resource block (PRB) bundling size of two PRBs to derive the CQI index.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for user equipment (UE)-initiated reporting of congestion information. Various embodiments may include systems and methods for reporting congestion information to an evolved node B (eNB) by UEs. In embodiments, the congestion information may be utilized in managing access requests made by the UEs. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments describe mechanisms for an eNB, possibly assisted by a UE, to detect and possibly alleviate user plane congestion. In some embodiments, the eNB implements UE assisted packet dropping, where the UE requests the eNB drop packets in a sub-QCI that meet designated criteria, such as exceeding a sub-QCI delay threshold. Other embodiments, detect periods of congestion and send congestion indication to the core network when the congestion period exceeds a threshold or when the user experience is degraded. Some embodiments implement both sets of functionality.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus of user equipment (UE) comprises circuitry to receive data transmissions as packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) packets from a radio bearer via two or more Radio Access Technologies (RATs). One or more PDCP packets are offloaded from a first RAT to a second RAT. The apparatus comprises circuitry to aggregate the received data PDCP packets, and report a status of the PDCP packets to the radio bearer.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of processing Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Protocol Data Units (PDUs) of an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Radio Access Bearer (E-RAB). For example, an apparatus may include PDCP processor configured to process a plurality of PDUs of an E-RAB, the PDCP processor configured to apply a sequence of a plurality of PDCP procedures to one or more first PDUs communicated via the cellular link, and to apply no more than a part of the sequence of PDCP procedures, by selecting not to apply one or more of the plurality of PDCP procedures, to one or more second PDUs communicated via a non-cellular Radio Access Technology (RAT).
