Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus for handling radio link monitoring and radio link failure in new radio systems are described. In some embodiments, an apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a memory and one or more baseband processors. The one or more baseband processors are to determine, at a physical layer, a beam level problem with a beam with a serving cell; initiate a beam level failure timer upon detection of the beam level problem; determine, at the physical layer, a beam level failure if the beam level problem remains when the beam level failure timer expires; determine, at the physical layer, a status of a radio link with the serving cell; and provide, from the physical layer, information to an upper layer, the information including an indication of the beam level failure and/or an indication of the status of the radio link.
Abstract:
Described is an apparatus. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry and a second circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to generate one or more parameters associated with a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) paging cycle of the UE, and store the one or more parameters in a memory. The second circuitry may be operable to generate a message for transmission to the UE such that the message comprises the one or more parameters associated with the DRX paging cycle of the UE.
Abstract:
Disclosed are apparatuses for quality of service (QoS) flow to data radio bearer (DRB) mapping override bits. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), includes one or more data storage devices, and one or more processors operably coupled to the one or more data storage devices. The one or more data storage devices are configured to store data corresponding to mapping of QoS flows to data radio bearers. The one or more processors are configured to map one or more QoS flows to a DRB in an uplink (UL) responsive to receipt, by the UE from a cellular base station, of a user plane packet in a downlink (DL) through the DRB if an override bit of the user plane packet indicates that reflective mapping should apply.
Abstract:
Technology for a user equipment (UE), operable to generate an enhanced buffer status report (eBSR) is disclosed. The UE can identify packets for uplink transmission. The UE can filter the packets for uplink transmission, to identify a number of small packets pending for transmission and a number of larger packets, relative to the small packets, that are pending for transmission in the uplink transmission. The UE can encode the eBSR for transmission to a next generation node B (gNB), wherein the eBSR includes information identifying the number of small packets pending for transmission. The UE can have a memory interface configured to send to a memory the number of small packets pending for transmission.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a RAN-based paging mechanism and optimizations of how UE context information is to be retrieved from an anchor (i.e., old eNB) to support the RAN-based paging mechanism. An X2AP-based, RAN-originated paging mechanism for paging eNBs and cells within a given area is described. DRX enhancements and resolution of mismatching states are also described.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods and apparatuses for mechanisms to provide tracking of user equipment at radio access network level.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides the generation of an RRC message. Generating an RRC message can include decoding a first RRC message to determine that the first RRC message is associated with a UE; encoding a second RRC message, for a UE, comprising the first RRC message; and processing the second RRC message through a user plane to the UE.
Abstract:
Technology for a base station is disclosed. The base station can determine radio access network (RAN)-based UE paging parameters for configuration of a UE when the UE is in a suspended state. UE context information for the UE can be stored in a memory of the base station when the UE is in the suspended state. The base station can encode the RAN-based UE paging parameters for transmission to the UE directly or via a core network (CN) node. The base station can generate a RAN-originated paging message for the UE when downlink data is received at the base station for the UE. The base station can encode the RAN-originated paging message for transmission to the UE. The RAN-originated paging message can be transmitted from the base station and received at the UE in accordance with the RAN-based UE paging parameters.
Abstract:
User equipment (UE) handover (HO) techniques for reducing or eliminating interruption time during an HO process are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory and logic for an evolved node B (eNB), at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory. The logic may be operative to forward downlink (DL) data received from a serving gateway (SGW) to user equipment (UE), transmit a handover command to the UE to trigger execution of a handover (HO) process to handover the UE to a target eNB, continue forwarding at least a portion of the DL data to the UE following transmission of the handover command, and terminate transmission of the DL data to the UE responsive to detecting a stop DL data event. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
User equipment (UEs) can fallback to a legacy system, such as an evolved packet system (EPS), from a fifth generation system (5GS). For example, a UE camps on the 5GS network by default. When an indicator of a voice call is detected, the UE performs a fallback to EPS for a duration of the voice call. After the voice call, the UE can return to the 5GS. In another example, the UE detects an emergency session request (e.g., internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) emergency session request). The UE performs a fallback to EPS for a duration of the emergency session. After the emergency session is complete, the UE can return to the 5GS. The solution can operate with UEs that operate in either Single Registration (SR) mode embodiments or Dual Registration (DR) mode embodiments. Depending on the embodiment, the UE can perform a handover or redirection to the legacy system (such as E-UTRAN).
