Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive configuration information from a base station. The UE may determine, based at least in part on the configuration information, a number of subframes available within a random access response (RAR) time window for downlink control channel communications. The UE may modify a random access procedure based on the determined number of subframes available within the RAR time window for the downlink control channel communications. In one example, modifying the random access procedure may include skipping a decoding attempt using a decoding hypothesis. In another example, modifying the random access procedure may include aborting the random access procedure.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) performs wireless communication by starting a scan of an absolute radio frequency channel number (ARFCN) configured for performing a narrowband communication. The UE determines, based on a spectral characteristic of a phase of a signal in the ARFCN, whether a cellular communication is deployed in the ARFCN. The UE may then terminate the scan of the ARFCN in response to the spectral characteristic of the phase of the signal in the ARFCN indicating that the cellular communication is deployed in the ARFCN. Alternatively, the UE may proceed with a synchronization signal search on the ARFCN in response to the spectral characteristic of the phase of the signal in the ARFCN indicating that the cellular communication is not deployed in the ARFCN.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive a configuration for identifying narrowband reference signal (NRS) tones that are to be received in association with a scheduled paging occasion, wherein the NRS tones are configured to be received via a non-anchor carrier regardless of whether a page is to be received in connection with the scheduled paging occasion; and receive the NRS tones via the non-anchor carrier based at least in part on the configuration. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for optimized RACH procedures in NTNs including NB-IoT. A UE performs in an NTN one or more of a first or second procedure in an idle mode, or a third procedure in a connected mode. In the first procedure, the UE considers a number of RAPIDs in msg2, and if the number meets a threshold, the UE applies a backoff to delay sending msg1. In the second procedure, if the UE fails to decode msg2 or msg4 after transmitting msg1, the UE applies a backoff before performing subsequent RACH. In the third procedure, following a failure to receive an uplink grant when monitoring a USS and after transmitting msg1 for a SR, the UE continues monitoring the USS for the grant until the start of a RAR window. If the uplink grant is received during this time, the UE cancels msg2 monitoring.

Abstract: Methods for conserving power in a multi-mode wireless device capable of communicating via a first radio access technology (RAT) and second RAT in which communication using the first RAT is preferred are disclosed. Various embodiments may include methods to determine whether a condition warrants attempting a connection with the first RAT in response to the multi-mode wireless device communicating using the second RAT, in response to determining that no condition warrants attempting a wireless connection using the first RAT, continue to communicate using the second RAT for a first duration before again determining whether a condition warrants attempting a connection with the first RAT, and determine whether a connection can be made to the first preferred RAT in response to determining that a condition warrants attempting a wireless connection using the first RAT.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a narrowband Internet of thing (NB-IoT) user equipment (UE). Further, the apparatus may be configured to receive NB reference signals (NRS) on a NB channel during a gap between reception events, perform link quality measurements based on the NRS received during an evaluation time interval, the evaluation time interval being shorter than the gap between the reception events, determine whether a link quality is greater than or equal to a first threshold, during the evaluation time interval, based on the link quality measurements, and determine whether to enable an autonomous reception (RX) sleep mode for a remaining duration of the gap between the reception events based at least in part on determining whether the link quality is greater than or equal to the first threshold value.

Abstract: A configuration to enable a base station to adjust an error rate for paging and to advertise such error rate to UEs, in order to optimize or reduce network paging resources. The apparatus determines a target miss rate for paging on a downlink narrowband control channel. The apparatus transmits an indication of the target miss rate to one or more UEs. The indication is transmitted in system information or a dedicated downlink channel.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a user equipment (UE) for wireless communication. The UE wakes to monitor for a wakeup signal (WUS) having a maximum WUS duration and configured to indicate an upcoming transmission of a paging signal corresponding to the WUS. The UE detects a reference signal tone energy from tones carrying reference signals, detects a WUS tone energy from tones designated for carrying the WUS, and determines whether the WUS is present or absent based on the WUS tone energy and the reference signal tone energy. The UE then transitions to a sleep state prior to an end of the maximum WUS duration when the WUS is determined to be absent. Alternatively, the UE remains awake when the WUS is determined to be present and receives the paging signal corresponding to the WUS. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are also claimed and described.
