Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reducing call drop rate by validating reconfiguration messages based on service data unit (SDU) lifetime are described. A receiving device, such as a user equipment, may determine a receiving delay between receiving a first protocol data unit (PDU) and receiving a last PDU of a reconfiguration message SDU. The receiving delay may be compared with an SDU lifetime. The reconfiguration message SDU may be validated based on the comparison of the receiving delay with the SDU lifetime. A receiving delay that is greater than the SDU lifetime may indicate that the SDU is stale and, therefore, invalid. A receiving delay that is less than the SDU lifetime may indicate that the timing of the SDU is valid and the reconfiguration message SDU is to be processed. An activation time of the reconfiguration message SDU may also be honored or disregarded based on the receiving delay.
Abstract:
Aspects described herein relate to throttling packet-switched (PS) call establishment in wireless communications. A circuit-switched (CS) call can be conducted by using a first radio access technology (RAT). A cell update (CU) procedure for a PS call using a second RAT can be detected as due to one or more conditions. A cause for the one or more conditions can be determined based on one or more parameters related to a transmitter or receiver. PS call establishment attempts can accordingly be throttled based at least in part on determining the cause for the one or more conditions
Abstract:
A cell acquisition technique for 5G and other RATs is provided in which shallow scans are interleaved with deep scans. In each shallow scan, a UE determines whether a synchronization signal is received with sufficient signal quality over one period for the synchronization signal. In each deep scan, the UE determines whether the synchronization signal is received with sufficient signal quality over multiple periods for the synchronization signal.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine location information regarding the UE; and activate a receive beam of the UE in at least one symbol, associated with at least one transmit beam of at least one base station, based at least in part on the location information, wherein the UE is configured to activate the receive beam based at least in part on mapping information, at least partially determined by the UE, that indicates that the receive beam is associated with the location information. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device can adaptively perform tracking loop updates for rude wake-up events when operating in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. In an aspect, the wireless communication device can perform one or more tracking loop updates, such as time tracking loop (TTL) updates and frequency tracking loop (FTL) updates, based on a time difference between a last tracking loop update and a warm-up occasion associated with a rude wake-up event being greater than a threshold. In addition, in response to the time difference being less than or equal to the threshold, the wireless communication device can perform the rude wake-up event without performing the one or more tracking loop updates.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for aggressive beam selection during a handover procedure. A User Equipment (UE) measures a plurality of candidate downlink beams of a target base station (BS), wherein measurement opportunities for each of the candidate downlink beams are scheduled periodically. The UE reports measurements relating to one or more of the measured candidate downlink beams to a source BS. The UE receives a command to handover to the target BS, and in response to receiving the command, attempts to find a new downlink beam of the target BS having a corresponding measurement opportunity that is earlier than a next measurement opportunity of one of the one or more candidate downlink beam.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity, an absolute threshold synchronization signal block (SSB) consolidation parameter. The TUE may determine whether a threshold value indicated in the absolute threshold SSB consolidation parameter satisfies a predefined value threshold. The UE may set a specific network deployment flag based at least in part on whether the threshold value satisfies the predefined value threshold. The UE may determine a cell measurement result based at least in part on the specific network deployment flag. The UE may perform a downlink beam selection and a beam switch evaluation based at least in part on the specific network deployment flag. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for avoiding call drops during Serving Radio Network Subsystem (SRNS) relocation procedure are described. In an aspect, the method may include receiving an SRNS RELOCATION message and initiating a handover procedure from a first radio network subsystem (RNS) to a second RNS based on the SRNS RELOCATION message. The method may include identifying a downlink (DL) message and identifying an uplink (UL) message. The method may include holding the DL message and the UL message at a radio resource control (RRC) layer until completion of the handover procedure. In another aspect, the SRNS RELOCATION message may include a new FRESH value. The method may include retaining an old FRESH value determined before the SRNS RELOCATION was received. The method may include applying both the old FRESH value and new FRESH value to the DL message to determine if the DL message is valid.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The method comprises: receiving a message at a user equipment (UE) from a source base station connected to a first radio network controller to relocate to a target base station connected to a second network controller different from the first network controller; detecting an unrecoverable Radio Link Control (RLC) error at the UE; and ignoring the RLC unrecoverable error when it occurs after receiving the message to relocate while the UE is still connected to the source base station, before relocation is completed, and proceeding to relocate to the target base station. Various alterations and embodiments are disclosed.
