Abstract:
In an aspect, while a mobile device is operating in a RRC_Idle State, an RRC_Suspended State, an RLF State and/or an RLF Recovery Procedure State, the mobile device may transmit a connection establishment message to a base station of a plurality of base stations. In an aspect, the connection establishment message includes information that indicates whether the mobile device has information associated with signals transmitted by one or more base stations of the plurality of base stations. The mobile device may initiate transmission of the information associated with the signals to the base station subsequent to establishing a security context for the connection between the mobile device and the base station. In some aspects, the mobile device may scramble the information associated with signals and transmit the information associated with signals to the base station prior to establishing a security context for a connection between the mobile device and the base station.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides user equipment power consumption and secondary cell (SCell) activation latency reductions in wireless communication systems. For example, a UE may determine that a secondary cell activation condition has been satisfied. The UE may further transition to a secondary cell activated state based on determining that the secondary cell activation condition has been satisfied, the secondary cell activate state corresponding to a dormant SCell state. The UE may operate at least in the dormant SCell state.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) configurations that enable uplink transmissions during different transmission time intervals (TTIs) may be used. For example, a base station may configure SPS for a set of TTIs, where the configuration may include a periodicity between shortened TTIs (sTTIs) (e.g., two-symbol, three-symbol, seven-symbol TTIs, etc . ) that may be used by a user equipment (UE) for uplink transmissions. The base station may signal the SPS configuration to the UE, and the UE may then identify locations of TTIs for use in SPS transmissions. For instance, the UE may identify the location of a set of sTTIs that are designated for SPS and that occur at a certain periodicity indicated by the configuration. Upon identifying the TTI locations, the UE may transmit uplink data during one or more of the identified TTIs in accordance with the periodicity.
Abstract:
Techniques for minimizing interruption for UL and/or DL transmission via a secondary link during a handover on a primary link. In response to a handover indication, a UE, source BS and target BS may take one or more actions to maintain an existing connection between the UE and a secondary link. For example, the UE, source BS, and target BS may take one or more actions to maintain a connection between the UE and a WLAN AP (e. g., using the Sequence Number, SN, of the last PDCP packet forwarded to the WLAN-AP, or the highest received SN, HRW, and using the ciphering key of the source or target BS, or a permanent ciphering key of the WLAN-AP).
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for measurement reporting. The method comprises receiving, via a first radio access technology (RAT), a first request for one or more measurement reports, translating the first request to a group of second requests for measurement associated with at least a second RAT, and transmitting at least one of the second requests to initiate gathering measurements associated with the second RAT for use in generating the one or more measurement reports in response to the first request.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication at a wireless communication device. One method includes receiving wireless wide area network (WWAN) packets at a WWAN processing subsystem of the wireless communication device; transferring wireless local area network (WLAN) packet information from a WLAN processing subsystem of the wireless communication device to the WWAN processing subsystem, the WLAN packet information comprising a subset of data associated with WLAN packets; performing a reordering process in the WWAN processing subsystem, the reordering process based at least in part on the received WWAN packets and the WLAN packets that correspond to the transferred WLAN packet information; and providing an indication of the reordered WWAN packets and the WLAN packets to an application processing subsystem of the wireless communication device.
Abstract:
Certain aspects described herein relate to wireless communications. A first connection can be established with a first serving node using a first radio access technology (RAT), and a second connection can be established with a second serving node using a second RAT. An indication of a power consumption mode for the first connection can be received, and a power operation mode of the second connection can be determined based at least in part on the indication.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for passively and dynamically determining network timeout (NTO) values. The method may include adjusting an amount of delay applied to transmissions on an existing connection to a device in a network and determining how long the existing connection is allowed to remain idle before the existing connection expires based on the adjusting of the amount of delay applied to the transmissions on the existing connection.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatus, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first method includes establishing a first wireless local area network (WLAN) interface between a WLAN chipset and an application processor (AP) subsystem, and establishing a second WLAN interface between the WLAN chipset and a modem subsystem. The second WLAN interface may include a data path between the WLAN chipset and the modem subsystem. The data path may bypass the AP subsystem. A second method includes establishing a WLAN interface between a WLAN chipset and AP subsystem, and dynamically managing WLAN connectivity through the WLAN interface using a modem subsystem.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for determining a quality estimation of a wireless network that may be used to determine whether a particular wireless network meets one or more criteria for association with a station. The quality estimation may be based on a load quality of a basic service set (BSS) of an available wireless network and/or one or more wide area network (WAN) metrics associated with the wireless network. A station may evaluate such load quality and WAN metrics prior to association, and/or after association with a wireless network.
