Managing Voice Calls in Heterogenous Network Environments
A method is provided for handling a voice call in a heterogeneous network environment by a wireless device. The method includes sending a registration request to a network node in a Next Generation (5G) network. The wireless device has an existing voice call on a different network in the heterogeneous network environment. The method further includes receiving a registration acceptance from the network node in the 5G network. The registration acceptance indicates that IMS voice services are supported, but existing voice calls are not supported. The method further includes determining to stop an attempt to move the existing voice call to the 5G network.

CONDITIONAL PROCEDURES FOR ADDING AND/OR CHANGING A SECONDARY NODE (SN)
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to procedures for supporting conditional new radio (NR) secondary node (SN) addition and change by reusing conditional handover (CHO) procedures. In some aspects, the procedures include a method for wireless communications by a master node (MN), comprising identifying a set of candidate cells for a conditional addition or change as an SN for a UE based on execution criteria, and signaling configuration information regarding the set of candidate cells to the UE.
COMMUNICATION METHOD AND COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE
Embodiments of the present invention provide a communication method and a communications device. The method includes: sending, by a base station, a message including measurement configuration to UE, where the measurement configuration is used to request the UE to report a cell global identifier of a cell; obtaining, by the base station, a measurement report reported by the UE, where the measurement report corresponds to the measurement configuration and includes the cell global identifier of the cell and band information of the cell; and performing, by the base station, cell handover based on the band information and the cell global identifier of the cell. By means of the present invention, the base station obtains complete and accurate band information of the cell, so that the base station can perform accurate handover decision, thereby avoiding handover failure.

Methods and systems for selecting SIM card
The present invention discloses methods and systems for selecting at least one SIM card for data communication at a wireless communication device which is capable of housing a plurality of SIM cards. When a switching condition is satisfied, the wireless communication device selects a second SIM card group, and disconnects one or more connections established using any non-second group SIM card. Non-second group SIM cards are SIM cards that are not in the second SIM card group. A selected SIM card from the second SIM card group is then used for data communications. The steps are repeated until (i) the switching condition is no longer satisfied, (ii) no more SIM cards selected from the second SIM card group can be used for data communications or (iii) no more connection is made using non-second group SIM cards.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROHIBITING CELL RESELECTION PROCEDURE DURING DATA COMMUNICATION BY USER EQUIPMENT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a method for transmitting signals by a user equipment (UE) in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state or a RRC idle state at a wireless communication system. In particular, the method includes the steps of: measuring neighboring cells; identifying one of the neighboring cells fulfilled with conditions for a cell reselection procedure based on a result of measuring; determining whether to perform the cell reselection procedure with the one of the neighboring cells by considering a timer; and transmitting an uplink data or receiving a downlink data, without performing the cell reselection procedure during the timer is running, when it is determined not to perform the cell reselection procedure.

Sidelink feedback signal transmission
A wireless device receives one or more configuration parameters including a plurality of sidelink feedback resources, where at least two sidelink feedback resources, of the plurality of sidelink feedback resources, are associated with different values for received signal power, and each of the at least two sidelink feedback resources are at least one of a time resource or a frequency resource. The wireless device selects, based on a received signal power of the different values for the received signal power, a sidelink feedback resource from the at least two sidelink feedback resources. The wireless device transmits a sidelink feedback signal, to a second wireless device, via the sidelink feedback resource.
