    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to apportioning data between network links in dual-connectivity environments. In some embodiments, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity implemented by a mobile device determines a ratio for sending packet data to two or more different radio link control (RLC) entities implemented by the mobile device for dual connectivity communications via two or more different networks. In some embodiments, in response to a current data volume meeting a threshold value, the PDCP entity apportions packet data between the two or more different RLC entities based on the determined ratio. The ratio may be determined based on various input parameters from one or more protocol layers or may be specified by the network. In various embodiments, the disclosed techniques may improve resource utilization and reduce re-ordering delay at the receiver.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to providing coexistence features for cellular communication in unlicensed spectrum. A wireless device may communicate with a cellular base station in accordance with an original communication configuration. The wireless device may determine that a communication activity is occurring at the wireless device that has a duration longer than a duration threshold. The wireless device may provide an indication to the cellular base station to modify the communication configuration with respect to operation in an unlicensed frequency band based at least in part on determining that a communication activity is occurring at the wireless device that has a duration longer than the duration threshold. The wireless device may communicate with the cellular base station in accordance with a modified communication configuration.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for non-small data transmission (non-SDT) dedicated radio bearer (DRB) handling while in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state. A wireless device may determine, while operating in the RRC inactive state, that non-SDT data is available for transmission on a non-SDT DRB and determine, based on one or more conditions, to transmit, to a base station, non-SDT data arrival information during an SDT procedure. The one or more conditions may be associated with arrival time of the non-SDT data and/or an amount of non-SDT data to be transmitted. The arrival time may be relative to arrival of SDT data, initiation of an SDT procedure, and/or initiation of a subsequent transmission period of an SDT procedure.
