Abstract: An approach is described for a method for a radio access node (RAN) node in a fifth generation (5G) wireless communication or a new radio (NR) system that includes the following steps. The method includes generating a request for location information of a user equipment (UE). The method further includes transmitting the request to an access and mobility function (AMF). The method further includes receiving a response from the AMF, wherein the response comprises the location information of the UE.

Abstract: An apparatus of a next generation Node B (gNB) Distributed Unit (DU) comprises one or more baseband processors to transmit one or more retransmitted Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Protocol Data Units (PDUs) received from a gNB Central Unit (CU) to a user equipment (UE), and to feed back not only a latest, in-sequence New Radio User-plane (NR-U) Sequence Number (SN) to the CU for Release 15, but also a highest, in-sequence successfully delivered/transmitted PDCP SN, optionally, with a NR-U SN up to which the reported PDCP SN should be applied, which can provide an exact range of successfully delivered/transmitted status for retransmitted packets even in case of DU's re-ordering based on PDCP SN before transmitting to the UE. The apparatus can include a memory to store the reported PDCP SN and NR-U SN.

IPC: H04W76/10

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to multi-path operation. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a measurement report is transmitted to a base station on a first path between the UE and the base station, wherein the measurement report indicates channel quality information on one or more potential paths between the UE and the base station. A path addition command is then received from the base station, wherein the path addition command indicates the UE to add a path from one or more potential paths as a second path. The second path between the UE and the base station is then established based on the path addition command.

Abstract: A first user equipment (UE) is configured to establish a device-to-device (D2D) connection with a second UE, generate internet protocol (IP) packets for uplink (UL) transmission to a network and identifying a quality of service (QoS) flow for the packets, encapsulate each packet with a header comprising a QoS flow-identifier (QFI), transmit a first portion of the encapsulated packets to the network via a first radio link and transmitting a second portion of the encapsulated packets to the second UE via the D2D connection for transmission to the network via a second radio link of the second UE.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to enter a radio resource control (RRC) CONNECTED state on a first network using a first subscriber identification module (SIM) and an RRC INACTIVE or RRC IDLE state on a second network using a second SIM, transmit, to the first network, a request for a scheduling gap (SG) configuration, wherein, during a duration of the SG, the first network avoids scheduling resources for the UE, receive, from the first network, an indication of the SG configuration to be used, during the duration of the SG, tune away from the first network to perform operations on the second network and after the duration of the SG, tune back to the first network, wherein the RRC CONNECTED state is maintained on the first network during the duration of the SG.

Abstract: Techniques, systems, and devices to support small data transfers are described. A first node, such as a gNodeB or an eNodeB, can perform operations that include receiving a resume request from a user equipment (UE) that is in an inactive state, the resume request including a small data indication, where context information for the UE resides at a second node; transmitting a retrieve UE context request to the second node, the retrieve UE context request including the small data indication; receiving a UE context response from the second node; transmitting, by the first node, a resume response to the UE to cause the UE to switch to a connected state; processing uplink data from the UE; and transmitting a release message to the UE to cause the UE to switch to the inactive state. The release message can be based on RRC release information received from the second node.

Abstract: One embodiment described herein takes the form of a user equipment (UE), such as a phone. The UE includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to establish a first radio resource control (RRC) connection with a base station via the transceiver. The processor is configured to associate with a secondary UE for collaboration of transmission of a data payload of one of the UE or the secondary UE to the base station, and transmit a first portion of the data payload to the base station via the transceiver.
