    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate enhancements to measurement for a User Equipment (UE) in Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connected mode for configuration of Carrier Aggregation (CA) and/or Dual Connectivity (DC). One example embodiment comprises a UE device comprising a processor configured to perform operations comprising: transmitting a UE Assistance Information message comprising a measurement request; receiving a first RRCReconfiguration message comprising a measConfig information element (IE); performing one or more measurements on each of on one or more frequencies based at least on the RRC measConfig IE, wherein the one or more frequencies comprise at least one non-serving frequency associated with a neighboring cell; transmitting a MeasurementReport message that indicates the one or more measurements for at least one of the one or more frequencies; and receiving a second RRCReconfiguration message that configures the UE with the at least one of the one or more frequencies.

    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein facilitate Base Station (BS) enhancements to measurement by a RRC Connected mode User Equipment (UE) for configuration of Carrier Aggregation (CA) and/or Dual Connectivity (DC). One example embodiment comprises a BS device comprising a processor configured to perform operations comprising: receiving a UE Assistance Information message comprising a measurement request; transmitting a first RRCReconfiguration message comprising a measConfig IE; receiving a MeasurementReport message from a UE that indicates one or more measurements on one or more sets of frequencies, wherein the one or more sets of frequencies comprise a set of serving frequencies for one of a serving cell or the neighboring cell and a set of non-serving frequencies for the UE, wherein the set of non-serving frequencies are associated with the neighboring cell; and transmitting a second RRCReconfiguration message that configures the UE with at least one set of the one or more sets of frequencies.

    Abstract: A broadcast service network (separate from a cellular network) includes broadcast service signal (BSS) nodes that broadcast signals to receivers of user equipment (UE). The BSS may provide broadcast service information to user equipment, such as the emergency notifications, even when the user equipment is out of range of the cellular network. Further, the broadcast service signals may provide information that improves the user equipment's search and access time for connecting to the cellular network (e.g., a cellular service station) and/or that assists the user equipment in locating a nearby region of cellular network coverage. In addition, the BSS may be wake-up signals configured to activate the receiver when the receiver is in a sleep or inactive mode. In some embodiments, the BSS may be pointer signals configured to direct the user equipment to a broadcast service channel to receive the broadcast service information.
