    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to broadcasting and receiving system information in a radio access network (RAN). In one embodiment, a base station includes at least one antenna, at least one radio, configured to perform cellular communication using a radio access technology (RAT), and one or more processors coupled to the radio. In this embodiment, the base station is configured to broadcast first system information blocks (SIBs) encoded using a first coding rate and a first identifier. In this embodiment, the base station is also configured to broadcast second SIBs encoded using a second coding rate that is lower than the first coding rate and a second identifier. In this embodiment, the second SIBs include only a portion of the information included in the first SIBs and the second SIBs are usable by user equipment devices (UEs) having a limited link budget to determine access parameters for the base station.

    Abstract: A base station and associated method transmits a page to a user equipment (UE) for a call establishment procedure, determines whether an acknowledgement is received in response to the page and when no acknowledgement has been received, determines a number of pages that have been transmitted to the UE for the call establishment procedure, transmits a further page to the UE for the call establishment procedure when the number of pages is less than a page threshold and performs a page failure procedure when the number of pages exceeds the page threshold. In another method the base station transmits a radio resource control (RRC) connection release message to the UE, maintains a context for the UE when an acknowledgement for the RRC connection release message is not received, transmits a first page and transmits a second page when a further acknowledgement for the first page is not received.

    Abstract: A method performed by stations to transfer call sessions between different access networks. The methods include transmitting, by a first station to a second station, an invite to join a voice call on a first radio access network (RAN), receiving, by the second station, the invite, generating, by the second station, a response to the invite, determining, by the second station, that the response cannot be successfully transmitted to the first station, associating, by the second station, with a second RAN, generating, by the second station, a message indicating the second station has associated with the second RAN, transmitting, by the second station, the message to the first station, retransmitting, by the first station, the invite to join the voice call, receiving, by the second station, the invite on the second RAN and setting up the voice call between the first station and the second station.

    Abstract: User Equipment (UE) based forced inter radio access technology (iRAT) handover. A connection to a network may be established via a first cell operating according to a first radio access technology (RAT). It may be determined to initiate a handover of the UE from the first cell to a second cell operating according to a second RAT. An indication may be transmitted to the network to initiate a handover of the UE from the first cell to the second cell. An indication may be received from the network to perform handover of the UE from the first cell to the second cell in response to the indication to initiate the handover. Handover of the UE from the first cell to the second cell may be performed in response to the indication to perform the handover. Handover may include releasing the connection to the network via the first cell and establishing a connection to the network via the second cell.

    Abstract: A method for reducing power consumption in connected mode discontinuous reception is disclosed. The method can include a wireless communication device sending a transmission for a pending HARQ retransmission process and receiving an ACK for the transmission. The method can further include the wireless communication device determining a subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities in the pending HARQ retransmission process to monitor for an uplink grant in response to receiving the ACK and monitoring the subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities for an uplink grant. The method can additionally include the wireless communication device entering a sleep state for any uplink transmission opportunities remaining in the pending HARQ retransmission process after monitoring the subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities in an instance in which an uplink grant for the pending HARQ retransmission process is not received for any of the subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities.
