Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to include procedures to mitigate denial of service (DoS) attack by a rogue base station when the initial non-access stratum (NAS) messages between the UE and a mobility management entity (MME) is unprotected. UE may maintain a temporary forbidden network list, which resides outside a subscriber identity module (SIM), and update a forbidden network list, which resides on the SIM, only under certain conditions. For example, a visited network, from which the UE receives a reject message, may be added to the forbidden network list on the SIM only when a counter associated with the visited network is equal to a maximum counter value, which is configured by the UE.
Abstract:
Aspects disclosed herein facilitate security handling of 5GS to EPC reselection are disclosed herein. An example method at a UE includes transmitting a first TAU request, the first TAU request encoded using a first security context associated with a first RAT, the first TAU request being integrity protected using a first uplink count based on the first security context, and the first TAU request including a first set of information including an identifier mapped to a second RAT associated with the first network entity. The example method also includes transmitting a second TAU request, the second TAU request including the first set of information, the second TAU request being integrity protected using a second uplink count. The example method also includes communicating based on a mapped security context based on the first security context and at least one of the first uplink count or the second uplink count.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for improving call setup performance. In certain aspects, a User Equipment (UE) or a network servicing the UE, may detect at least one of the occurrence or anticipated occurrence of circuit switched (CS) signaling by a user equipment (UE), wherein the CS signaling at least comprises signaling associated with a CS call setup procedure, suspend packet-switched (PS) signaling or processing of such PS signaling in order to avoid delaying circuit-switched (CS) signaling, at least until the PS signaling may not substantially effect CS domain activity. In an aspect, a progress of a CS call setup procedure may be monitored and the PS signaling or processing of such PS signaling may be resumed based on completion of a radio bearer setup step in the CS call setup procedure.
Abstract:
Aspects are provided which allow a UE to disable measurements of reference signals from 5G base stations which are inapplicable to EN-DC. The UE may receive a reference signal from a base station. The UE may identify a frequency range. The UE may determine whether to measure the reference signal based on whether the reference signal is within the identified frequency range. The UE may refrain from measuring the reference signal in response to the determination. The UE may also refrain from measuring the reference signal in response to a SIB received at the UE not including a ULI, or in response to a frequency associated with the reference signal not being in a list of supported bands for EN-DC. As a result, inter-RAT handovers from LTE base stations to 5G base stations are prevented, UE power consumption is saved, and support for EN-DC is maintained.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). In one aspect, the UE is configured to generate a handover request related to a wireless communication session between the UE and a wireless local area network (WLAN) device, and establish, independent of an access check, a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a base station. In another aspect, the UE is configured to perform an access check based on a bias value, and establish an RRC connection with a base station based on a result of the access check. The access check performed based on a communication indicator related to a wireless communication session between the UE and a WLAN device.
Abstract:
A method for performing data service switch for a mobile communication device having a first subscription configured as a dedicated data subscription DDS (192) and a second subscription (197) includes: receiving a multimedia messaging service MMS message notification on the second subscription; calculating an approximate transfer time for receiving the MMS message; determining the that the approximate transfer time is less than a specified time; in response to determining that the approximate transfer time is less than the specified time, performing at the mobile communication device a local packet switched PS service detach procedure (215) for the first subscription; performing a circuit switched CS service attach procedure(220) for the first subscription; and performing a PS service attach procedure (230) for the second subscription.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may establish, using a first subscription of the UE, a first communication connection associated with a first service. The UE may establish, using a second subscription of the UE, a second communication connection associated with a second service. The UE may operate in a dual subscriber identity module (SIM) dual active (DSDA) mode based at least in part on establishing the first communication connection and establishing the second communication connection. The UE may perform an action to maintain concurrent services, including the first service and the second service, while operating in the DSDA mode. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
A method is provided. The method may be performed by a UE. The method includes attempting to attach to or to perform a tracking area update in an EPS network to obtain voice services for a number of times. The method includes starting a modified timer based on a failure to attach to or to perform the tracking area update in an EPS network for the number of times and based on a configuration parameter. The modified timer maybe modified based on a default timer. The method includes keeping an SI mode enabled when starting the modified timer. The method includes attempting to obtain the voice services based on one or more access technologies other than EPS. The method includes attaching to or performing a tracking area update in the EPS network to obtain voice services based on the modified timer.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently falling back from one RAT to another RAT while maximizing the services available to a UE. When a request from a UE for communicating with a base station using one RAT is rejected by a network node for unexpected causes, the UE may use the techniques described herein to fallback to an appropriate RAT. For instance, after receiving a response indicating that a request including fifth generation (5G) parameters is rejected, the UE may drop the 5G parameters and fall back to fourth generation (4G), rather than falling back to second generation (2G) or third generation (3G). The unexpected causes may be preconfigured and may be determined based on a number of factors, including a subscription of the UE, a public land mobile network (PLMN) associated with the network node, etc.
