Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured with a carrier aggregation (CA) functionality and UE connected to a network via a base station that serves as a primary serving cell (PCell) providing a primary component carrier (PCC) to the UE. The UE determines a plurality of bands that are supported by the UE for use in the CA functionality, generates an individual band information element (IE) including band information for the bands, determines at least one representative CA combination having an order, the order indicating a total number of component carriers (CCs), the at least one representative CA combination forming a basis to extrapolate a plurality of CA combinations having the order based on the band information, generates a representative CA combination IE including the at least one representative CA combination and transmits the individual band IE and the representative CA combination IE to the base station.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) device may communicate according to a new device category satisfying specified QoS (quality of service) requirements while also satisfying specified link budget requirements, and additional optimization requirements. The new device category may identify the UE device as a wearable device. According to some embodiments, LTE category M may be extended to support non-MTC operations performed by wearable devices. For example, the new device category may support UE mobility and may disallow access barring. Additional extensions may be implemented in response to an indication by the UE that the UE is implementing a specific application, such as VoLTE or a near real-time application, such as audio streaming. In some scenarios, the indication may include the UE indicating a specific QCI value. In some scenarios, the indication may include the UE attaching to a specific APN.

Abstract translation: 用户设备（UE）可以根据满足指定的QoS（服务质量）要求的新设备类别进行通信，同时还满足指定的链路预算要求和附加的优化要求。 新设备类别可以将UE设备识别为可穿戴设备。 根据一些实施例，LTE类别M可以被扩展以支持由可穿戴设备执行的非MTC操作。 例如，新设备类别可以支持UE移动性并且可以禁止访问禁止。 响应于UE指示UE正在实现特定应用（诸如VoLTE）或近实时应用（诸如音频流）的指示，可以实现额外的扩展。 在一些场景中，该指示可以包括指示特定QCI值的UE。 在一些情况下，该指示可以包括附接到特定APN的UE。

Abstract: A user identity module (UIM) is incorporated in user equipment such as a mobile phone or mobile device. The UIM is configured to provision itself while roaming away from a home network as follows. The UIM may: send to the UE a request for information identifying a current radio access technology (RAT) that the UE is camped on; receive the current RAT information from the UE; send to the UE a request for network location information, where the network location information identifies a network in which the UE is currently camped; receive the network location information from the UE; generate an access point name (APN) using the current RAT information and the network location information; and open a channel through the network to a remote agent (e.g., a provisioning server) using the access point name.

Abstract translation: 用户身份模块（UIM）被并入诸如移动电话或移动设备的用户设备中。 如下所述，UIM被配置为在漫游远离家庭网络时提供自身。 UIM可以：向UE发送标识UE驻留的当前无线接入技术（RAT）的信息请求; 从UE接收当前RAT信息; 向UE发送对网络位置信息的请求，其中网络位置信息标识UE当前驻扎的网络; 从UE接收网络位置信息; 使用当前RAT信息和网络位置信息来生成接入点名称（APN）; 并且使用接入点名称通过网络向远程代理（例如，供应服务器）打开信道。

Abstract: A wireless communication device (UE) includes a cellular processor configured to conduct wireless communications according to a first radio access technology (RAT) in a first frequency band and in a second frequency band, wherein the first RAT is a cellular RAT, the first frequency band is in an unlicensed spectrum, and the second frequency band is in a licensed spectrum. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a wireless local area network (WLAN) processor configured to conduct wireless communications according to a second RAT in the first frequency band. In some embodiments, the cellular processor and the WLAN processor are configured to couple to a common antenna for communications in the first frequency band. In some embodiments, the cellular processor may notify the WLAN processor when it is scanning and/or when it is assigned secondary component carriers in the first frequency band. In some embodiments, the WLAN processor may notify the cellular processor when it is transmitting. In some embodiments, the WLAN processor and/or the cellular processor may perform one or more actions in response to such notifications to improve coexistence in the first frequency band.

Abstract translation: 无线通信设备（UE）包括蜂窝处理器，该蜂窝处理器被配置为根据第一频带和第二频带中的第一无线接入技术（RAT）进行无线通信，其中第一RAT 是一个蜂窝RAT，第一个频段在非授权频段，第二个频段在授权频段。 在一些实施例中，该装置包括被配置为根据第一频带中的第二RAT进行无线通信的无线局域网（WLAN）处理器。 在一些实施例中，蜂窝处理器和WLAN处理器被配置为耦合到用于第一频带中的通信的公共天线。 在一些实施例中，蜂窝处理器可以通知WLAN处理器何时正在扫描和/或何时在第一频带中分配次要分量载波。 在一些实施例中，WLAN处理器可以在蜂窝处理器正在发送时通知蜂窝处理器。 在一些实施例中，响应于这些通知，WLAN处理器和/或蜂窝处理器可以执行一个或多个动作以改善第一频带中的共存。
