A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) includes determining an original amount of uplink data stored in a non-compression buffer, the original amount of data designated to be transmitted to a network. The method also includes predicting, with a machine learning model, an amount of compression gain for the original amount of uplink data. The compression gain is obtained by compressing the original amount of uplink data during a time delay. The method further includes generating a buffer status report based on the original amount of uplink data and the predicted amount of compression gain. The method transmits the buffer status report to the network.

A method that may be performed at a user equipment (UE) includes setting a device-configured split data threshold to a value that is less than or equal to a network-configured split data threshold value in response to the network-configured split data threshold value being greater than a first buffer threshold value associated with a data buffer of the UE, monitoring an amount of data in the data buffer, and triggering a first scheduling request (SR) associated with a first communication link and a second SR associated with a second communication link in response to the amount of data in the data buffer being greater than the device-configured split data threshold value.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. For example, the disclosure relates to a method for switching a data session for an application, implemented in a user equipment with dual SIM. The method includes: determining a User Equipment (UE) Route Selection Policy (URSP) rule for a primary Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and a secondary SIM. The method includes detecting a trigger for switching the data session of the application to the secondary SIM based on determination of the URSP rule, wherein the trigger includes one of a matching traffic descriptor, a dedicated network slice, a Quality of Service (QoS) rule and a user preference. The method includes configuring the secondary SIM for the DDS based on the trigger; and switching the data session of the application to the secondary SIM for continuing the data session.

A method and apparatus for providing a cell group activation or deactivation service in a wireless communication system are provided. The method includes a first base station transmitting, to a second base station, a request message associated with the dual access. The method includes receiving, from the second base station, a response message including configuration information related to a second cell group (SCG) for the dual access. The method includes identifying whether the response message includes information related to a state of the SCG. And the method includes transmitting, to a terminal, a radio resource control (RRC) message including the configuration information of the SCG and the information related to the state of the SCG, wherein the configuration information of the SCG includes information not to perform QoS flow remapping on data radio bearer associated with the SCG in case that the SCG is inactive or the information related to the state of the SCG includes a request deactivating the SCG.

In an aspect, the present disclosure includes a method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for wireless communications for determining, by a user equipment (UE), a first time period for an evaluation procedure during communications with a network entity; performing, by the UE, a first set of measurements of a quality of a first set of discovery reference signals during the first time period; and determining, by the UE, whether to initiate a set of actions associated with the evaluation procedure based on the first set of measurements of the quality of the first set of discovery reference signals.

A method for multi-channel beaconing in a network comprising for each network node of a plurality of network nodes: determining a link or a pseudo random sequence of links that identifies when and on what channel the network node is scheduled to transmit beacons; receiving the schedule for when and on which channel the network node should listen for beacons from one or more neighbor nodes of the plurality of network nodes; transmitting beacons based the established schedule; and listening for beacons from one or more neighbor nodes based on the schedule received from these neighbor nodes.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may receive an indication of a first set of parameters that corresponds to a direct communication link between an industrial internet-of-things (IIoT) device and a first controller; receive an indication of a second set of parameters that corresponds to an indirect communication link between the IIoT device and the first controller through a second controller; and schedule a communication on at least one of the direct communication link or the indirect communication link based at least in part on the first set of parameters and the second set of parameters. Numerous other aspects are provided.

The invention provides for a method of selecting a Dedicated Core Network (DCN) based on assisting indication by mobile terminals, and including the step of configuring the RAN Nodes of the mobile network with the DCN Types of the serving EPC Nodes so that the RAN Nodes can map the DCN selection assisting information from the connecting mobile terminals with the right dedicated EPC Node. This allows for the RAN Node to connect the mobile terminals with EPC Node of the mobile terminal's dedication at initial attach and then keep the mobile terminals on the same DCN. Thus, a re-routing of mobile terminals NAS message from one EPC Node to another EPC node is avoided. The invention also allows for a flexible and dynamic change of the EPC Nodes dedication based on operator's configuration and policy. Additionally, the invention allows for DCN access restriction control by broadcasting of the supported DCN Types by the RAN Node.
