This document describes methods, devices, systems, and means for the transfer of radio bearer (RB) configurations from a Fifth Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) base station (121) to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) base station (122). The 5G NR base station (121) configures an RB configuration to configure an RB for communication of Protocol Data Units between the 5G NR base station (121) and a user equipment (111). The 5G NR base station (121) determines to hand over the user equipment (111) to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) base station and sends a Handover Request message for the user equipment (111) to the E-UTRA base station (122). The 5G NR base station (121) receives a Handover Request Acknowledge message from the E-UTRA base station (122) and transmits a 5G NR Radio Resource Control (RRC) message including an E-UTRA RRC message to the user equipment (111).

Embodiments of a system and method for providing DRX enhancements in LTE systems are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a system control module is provided for controlling communications via a communications interface. A processor is coupled to the system control module and is arranged to implement an inactivity timer and an on-duration timer for determining an active time for monitoring subframes on the physical downlink control channel for control signals, the processor further monitoring subframes after the active time.

Presented herein are techniques to facilitate fast roaming between a mobile network operator-public (MNO-public) wireless wide area (WWA) access network and an enterprise private WWA access network. In one example, a method is provided that may include generating, by an authentication node, authentication material for a user equipment (UE) based on the UE being connected to a public WWA access network, wherein the public WWA access network is associated with a mobile network operator, and the authentication node and the UE are associated with an enterprise entity; obtaining, by the authentication node, an indication that the UE is attempting to access a private WWA access network associated with the enterprise entity; and providing, by the authentication node, the authentication material for the UE, wherein the authentication material facilitates connection establishment between the UE and the private WWA access network.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for high data mode operation in cellular networks. A UE may determine, for an interface to a high-speed cellular network, a categorization from a plurality of categorizations, determine availability of the high-speed cellular network, and select, based at least in part on the categorization and availability of the high-speed cellular network, the interface for a data connection to the high-speed cellular network. The categorization may be one of expensive or not expensive and/or one of a first level associated with a higher compression codec rate or a second level associated with a lower compression codec rate. The UE may receive, from one of the a low-speed cellular network or the high-speed cellular network, carrier plan information for a cellular data service carrier and analyze the carrier plan information to determine desirability of a switch, e.g., from the low-speed cellular network to the high-speed cellular network.

A user equipment (UE) for handover processes between communication networks includes one or more processors, and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the UE to receive, by the UE, first diagnostic information, determine whether to perform a first handover from a first communication network to a second communication network based on a first set of thresholds, the first set of thresholds being based on the first diagnostic information, receive, by the UE, an update of the first diagnostic information, and determine whether to perform a second handover from the first communication network to the second communication network based on an updated first set of thresholds, the updated first set of thresholds being based on the updated first diagnostic information.
