Abstract: Techniques discussed herein facilitate configuration of network slices for a User Equipment (UE) supporting constraints on simultaneous operation of slices. receiving a registration request message to request registration on a set of requested network slices; registering the UE to a set of allowed network slices; and generating a registration accept message for transmission indicating the UE is registered to the set of allowed network slices, wherein the registration accept message indicates slice compatibility information for each allowed network slice of the set of allowed network slices for the UE, wherein the slice compatibility information for each allowed network slice indicates whether or not other configured network slices of a set of configured network slices are compatible with the configured network slice for simultaneous operation by the UE.

Abstract: A mobile device (UE) may access standalone non-public networks (SNPNs) in various different locations as equivalent SNPNs (eSNPNs) corresponding to a home SNPN of the device. The device may obtain a list of eSNPNs corresponding to the home SNPN, and may access a second SNPN at a location different from a location of the home SNPN, in response to identifying the second SNPN and the list including the second SNPN as an eSNPN corresponding to the home SNPN of the device. The eSNPNs may include roaming eSNPNs (ReSNPNs) for accessing an enterprise NPN globally and/or at various different locations. The eSNPN/ReSNPN list may be maintained in a new network identifier management function (NMF). NPNs may be implemented as network slice instances (NSIs) via identifying data in the single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI). Multiple credentialed SNPNs of a UE may be prioritized for access by the UE.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform substantially concurrent communications with a next generation network node and a legacy network node. The wireless device may be configured to stablish a first wireless link with a first cell according to a RAT, where the first cell operates in a first system bandwidth and establish a second wireless link with a second cell according to a RAT, where the second cell operates in a second system bandwidth. Further, the wireless device may be configured to perform uplink activity for both the first RAT and the second RAT by TDM uplink data for the first RAT and uplink data for the second RAT if uplink activity is scheduled according to both the first RAT and the second RAT.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for reducing likelihood of selecting a cell identified by a Radio Access Network (RAN) Notification Area ID (RNA ID) that is different from that identifying a last or current serving cell so as to avoid an RNA update procedure; reducing Random Access Channel (RACH) transmissions for an RNA update procedure and a mobile originated (MO) data transmission in response to a Radio Resource Control (RRC) triggered RNA update procedure; and selecting a band or beam in a multi-band/beam cellular system that improves RACH efficiency.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing wireless communications including filtering packets for transmission between a user equipment (UE) and a base station. Techniques for filtering packets using higher layer information, such as a flow identifier, are disclosed. A device may generate various tables and may use the tables to filter packets efficiently.

Abstract: Embodiments may relate to identifying, by a baseband processor, an amount of data in a data radio bearer (DRB) buffer of the baseband processor. Embodiments further relate to determining, by the baseband processor based on an indication from an application processor of the electronic device, an amount of data in at least one buffer of the application processor. Embodiments further relate to generating, by the baseband processor based at least in part on the amount of data in the DRB buffer and the amount of data in the at least one buffer of the application processor, a buffer status report (BSR). Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

Abstract: A client device in a wireless network accesses a queue comprising Transmission Control Protocol Acknowledgement (TCP ACK) packets, at least some of which include packet descriptors, each with a flow identifier indicating a TCP flow associated with the packet, and a TCP ACK Generation Count. The device inspects a packet descriptor of a first TCP ACK packet, and identifies a first flow identifier and a first TCP ACK Generation Count. The device accesses entries in a data structure that each includes a first field and a second field respectively storing a flow identifier and a TCP ACK Generation Count. The device determines that a first entry in the data structure includes a flow identifier and a TCP ACK Generation Count matching the first flow identifier and the first TCP ACK Generation Count, respectively. In response to the determination, the device marks the first TCP ACK packet to be dropped.

Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for mitigation of secondary cell failures. A user equipment (UE) may establish communication with a macro cellular base station. The UE may perform a signal quality measurement of a small cell base station and compare the signal quality measurement to a threshold. Based on the signal quality measurement exceeding the threshold, the UE may attempt to additionally connect to the small cell base station. In response to a radio link failure of the second base station, the UE may modify the first threshold. In response to subsequent failures to additionally connect to the small cell base station using the modified first threshold, the UE may disable connections to the small cell base station.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for de-prioritizing an LTE anchor cell based on NR cell measurements. A UE may register on a first cell of a first Radio Access Technology (RAT), process a configuration message from a network prioritizing an anchor band of the first RAT, perform a first cell reselection from the first cell to a second cell of the first RAT that is in the anchor band, and perform cell measurements on one or more cells of a second RAT. In response to determining that none of the cell measurements for the one or more cells of the second RAT exceeds a threshold, the UE de-prioritizes the second cell in ranked cell prioritization data and performs a second cell reselection from the second cell of the first RAT to another cell of the first RAT based on the ranked cell prioritization data.

Abstract: Manners of scheduling downloads for a user equipment (UE). The UE is configured to establish a connection to a network and receive an indication of a user-initiated download, determining whether the download is to be performed now or at a subsequent time, when the download is to be performed at the subsequent time, determine a time window during which the download is to be initiated and initiate the download during the time window.
