    摘要: One embodiment described herein takes the form of a user equipment (UE), such as a phone. The UE includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to associate with a secondary UE for collaborative transmission of a data payload of one of the UE or the secondary UE to a base station. The processor is configured to determine a link quality with the base station or the secondary UE, and determine a location of the UE or the secondary UE while associated with the secondary UE. The processor is configured to transmit to the base station or the secondary UE at least the determined link quality or the determined location, and determine to maintain, re-establish, or disable the association with the secondary UE based on at least one of a number of factors including: the determined link quality, the determined location, or an indication received from the base station.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed to configure different paging occasions for enhanced UEs that support, and for legacy UEs that do not support, the enhanced feature of the paging early indication (PEI) in paging procedure for 5G/LTE networks. Different paging occasions for the enhanced and legacy UEs may be configured by providing separate paging occasion parameters for the enhanced and legacy UEs. The network may use the separate paging parameters to design the PEI to save signaling overhead. The network may reuse paging format for the paging PDCCH to serve as the PEI that is transmitted in advance of the paging occasions for the enhanced UEs, or may keep legacy paging PDCCH at its current locations to serve as the PEI for the enhanced UEs. A scheduling offset may be configured to separate in time the paging PDCCH serving as the PEI and the paging PDSCH containing the paging message.

    摘要: A user equipment (UE), or other network device with a base station (e.g., next generation NodeB) can operate to configure a layer 1 (L1) /layer 2 (L2) -centric inter-cell mobility in handover operations to improve latency and efficiency. Candidate cell configurations corresponding to different candidate cells for a layer 1 (L1) /layer 2 (L2) -centric inter-cell mobility and a network indication /condition can be communicated via a first L1 communication, a first L2 communication, or an L1 inter-cell dynamic scheduling downlink control information (DCI). The UE can thus trigger a cell change of the L1 /L2-centric inter-cell mobility to a target cell in response to a threshold being satisfied that is associated with the network indication or the network condition.

    摘要: Aspects are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for secondary cell group (SCG) addition. A wireless device may establish communication with a first base station that is comprised in a master cell group (MCG). The wireless device may receive signaling from the first base station configuring a second base station in a secondary cell group (SCG). The wireless device may establish communication with the second base station based on the signaling received from the first base station. At a first time, the wireless device may set the second base station in a deactivated state based on the signaling from the first base station configuring the second base station or establishing communication with the second base station. At a later time, the wireless device may set the second base station in an activated state and communicate with the first base station and the second base station.

    摘要: A user equipment (UE) monitoring for a page in a network. The UE monitoring a paging occasion corresponding to the UE in a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) to determine whether the paging occasion includes paging downlink control information (DCI), when the PDCCH includes the paging DCI, decoding the paging DCI to determine whether the paging DCI includes scheduling information for a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), determining, based on at least the scheduling information, whether to receive the PDSCH in a scheduled slot that is offset N slots from a scheduled slot in which the paging DCI is received and when it is determined to receive the PDSCH, decoding the PDSCH.
