    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for split-bearer enhancements during dual-connectivity operation, e.g., in 5G NR systems and beyond (e.g., NextG, 6G, and so forth). A base station may set up a split-bearer for a UE operating in dual-connectivity and connected to the base station and one or more corresponding base stations, including setting up a ratio of a split of data to be delivered to the UE via the base station and the one or more corresponding base stations. The base station may transmit, based on the ratio of the split, a first portion of the data destined for the UE to the UE and a second portion of the data destined for the UE to the one or more corresponding base stations. The base station may adjust, based on one or more split-bearer quality reports received from the UE, the ratio of the split.

    Abstract: Technology for a user equipment (UE), operable to generate an enhanced buffer status report (eBSR) is disclosed. The UE can identify packets for uplink transmission. The UE can filter the packets for uplink transmission, to identify a number of small packets pending for transmission and a number of larger packets, relative to the small packets, that are pending for transmission in the uplink transmission. The UE can encode the eBSR for transmission to a next generation node B (gNB), wherein the eBSR includes information identifying the number of small packets pending for transmission. The UE can have a memory interface configured to send to a memory the number of small packets pending for transmission.

    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate autonomous user equipment beam failure recovery abort aspects. One example aspect is baseband processor configured to, when executing instructions stored in a memory, perform operations including initiating, in response to detecting a beam failure of a downlink (DL) beam, a beam recovery procedure. The operations further include determining that the DL beam is valid after initiating the beam recovery procedure. The operations further include aborting the beam recovery procedure in response to determining that the DL beam is valid. The operations further include receiving, via a radio frequency (RF) interface, and after aborting the beam recovery procedure, a communication sent on the DL beam.
