Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including receiving, in an RRC_INACTIVE state, a paging message from a base station of a wireless network, the paging messaging including a Mobile Terminated Small Data Transmission (MT-SDT) indication; determining whether one or more conditions for exchanging data with the base station using MT-SDT are satisfied; and transmitting, in the RRC_INACTIVE state, an uplink (UL) response message to initiate the MT-SDT, based on a determination that the one or more conditions are satisfied.

Abstract: Systems and methods for multicast data traffic service continuity under multicast-broadcast services (MBS) operation during a radio resource control (RRC) state or mode transition are described. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network, while in an RRC connected mode, an RRC release message comprising an RRC inactive mode point to multipoint (PTM) configuration that uses an MBS session to receive multicast data traffic while the UE is in an RRC inactive mode; enters the RRC inactive mode from the RRC connected mode in response to the RRC release message; and uses the RRC inactive mode PTM configuration to receive, from the network, the multicast data traffic of the MBS session while the UE is in the RRC inactive mode. Cases where a UE instead re-uses an RRC connected mode PTM configuration after transitioning to the RRC inactive mode are also described. Analogous network behaviors are described.

Abstract: Transmission occasions in a multi-PUSCH CG cycle can be identified as unused transmission occasions (UTOs) or used transmission occasions. HARQ PIDs for transmission occasions of the multi-PUSCH CG cycle can be determined prior to processing the first PUSCH. UTOs among all transmission occasions of the multi-PUSCH CG cycle can be determined based on a CG timer associated with the HARQ PIDs, status of a logical channel buffer associated with the multi-PUSCH CG, and prioritization of additional grants. HARQ PIDs can be remapped or changed to no longer be blocked by the CG timer. Overlapping transmission occasions of other grants may or may not be prioritized based on whether they overlap with multi-PUSCH CG transmission occasions already identified as UTOs. The use status of the transmission occasions can be reevaluated when certain conditions are met. Base stations can automatically refrain from decoding multi-PUSCH CG transmission occasions blocked by a CG timer.

Abstract: Techniques for flexible hybrid automatic repeat request selection by a user equipment are provided. An example method includes a user equipment (UE) processing a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) opportunities associated with a configured grant (CG) cycle. The UE can apply a first logical channel prioritization (LCP) setting when processing a first PUSCH opportunity of the plurality of PUSCH opportunities. The UE can evaluate whether a condition for switching from the first LCP to a second LCP of the plurality of PUSCH opportunities has been met. The UE can, based on the evaluation, apply a second LCP setting when processing the second PUSCH opportunity.

Abstract: The techniques described herein may include a device, comprising: a memory; and one or more processors configured to, when executing instructions stored in the memory, cause the device to: communicate, via a wireless communication network, information as in-order traffic using an in-order radio link control (RLC) entity; and communicate, via the wireless communication network, information as out-of-order traffic using an out-of-order RLC entity. The in-order traffic and the out-of-order traffic may be communicated using the same data radio bearer (DRB). The out-of-order traffic may include selective out-of-order delivery (OOD) or per-packet OOD. Additional examples, features and other techniques are also described herein.
