Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit multiple repetitions of a paging early indication (PEI) signal to a user equipment (UE) to indicate that the UE is to receive paging signaling in a paging occasion. In some cases, a PEI occasion for transmitting a PEI repetition may have a scheduling conflict. For example, a PEI occasion may collide with other downlink signaling. A UE may implement techniques to resolve scheduling conflicts or collisions for PEI repetitions. For example, the UE may be configured to receive either colliding PEI signaling or colliding downlink signaling based on priorities of the signaling. Additionally, or alternatively, PEI signaling may be shifted (e.g., delayed) until after the downlink signaling ends. In some cases, a UE may be configured with a subset of blind decoding hypotheses for PEI decoding.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which paging messages may provide an indication of a service that caused the page, and a receiving user equipment (UE) may determine a paging response based on a UE status and the service that caused the page. The paging response may include ignoring the page, a paging response with a busy indication, or a paging response after a time delay, for example. The paging message may be received at an access stratum (AS) layer of the UE, and the AS layer may provide the paging message to a non-access stratum (NAS) layer along with the indication of the service that caused the page. The NAS layer may determine the paging response.

Disclosed are embodiments that leverage a central control plane of a managed 5G network service architecture across multiple serviced tenants by deploying tenant specific user plane function (UPF) and gNB components within tenant managed compute infrastructure. To enable this architecture, the disclosed embodiments assign gNBs and UPF instances to specific tenants and communicate those assignments to core components. Policies can be defined and applied to specific tenants from the central control plane. Inbound data routing to a specific tenant is accomplished by referencing a data store in the control plane that identifies which gNBs are assigned to a tenant associated with the incoming data. Those gNBs are then paged to service the incoming data.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for updating a wait timer as a result of receiving one of a release message and a suspend message and/or configuring a wireless device (WD) to update a wait timer by determining the one of the release message and the suspend message to be communicated to the WD.

The present disclosure provides a time-and-frequency synchronization method, a network device, and a terminal. The time-and-frequency synchronization method for the terminal includes: subsequent to determining that the terminal in an idle state or a DRX state needs to be woken up to receive a downlink signal, receiving a physical signal for time-and-frequency synchronization from the network device; and performing time-and-frequency synchronization in accordance with the physical signal.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications between a first UE and a second UE. The method includes, at the first UE, receiving, from the second UE, a paging indication message on a sidelink channel, the paging indication message associating the first UE with one or more resources of a common resource pool that includes a plurality of resources for communication on the sidelink channel. The method further includes, based on the received paging indication message, monitoring the one or more resources for a message from the second UE.

Methods and system for a centralized unit and a distributed unit of a base station to operatively cooperate with each other are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a first communication node includes: in response to receiving a request, transmitting a first message to a second wireless communication node requesting to either establish or modify a context of a data radio bearer (DRB); and receiving a second message from the second wireless communication node indicating that the context of the DRB has been established or modified at the second wireless communication node, wherein the first message comprises first user plane address information of the DRB, and the second message comprises second user plane address information of the DRB.

This disclosure is directed to generating one or more presence-event notifications at one or more user devices associated with a user, and transmitting those presence-event notifications to one or more presence server(s). At the presence server(s) a stream of presence-event notifications may be filtered according to any number of predefined criteria, and then the presence-event notifications that have filtered through may be applied to presence plug-ins to generate presence information associated with user(s) for whom presence-event notifications were received. The presence-event notifications may be provided as a stream of presence information to one or more consumers of presence information and/or stored in a presence datastore. A consumer of presence information, such as a service provider, may request presence information associated with one or more users. In response, the service provider may be provided with the requested presence information based on whether that service provider has permissions to receive the requested presence information.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for measurements for narrow-band (NB) Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A user equipment (UE) may receive a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) during a paging occasion and via a non-anchor carrier. The UE may process the CRS by determining and/or making quality measurements of the paging carrier. The quality measurements may be used to determine whether a paging occasion should be terminated early to conserve UE power and to prevent an extended “on” duration during the discontinuous receive cycle of the UE. In some examples, the UE may combine statistics and/or measurements based on processing of both the CRS and a narrow-band reference signal (NRS).
