METHOD AND DEVICE FOR RECOVERING CONNECTION FAILURE TO NETWORK IN NEXT GENERATION MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure relates to a method and a device for quickly recovering a connection to a network in a next-generation mobile communication system when the connection to the network fails.
SENSOR-ASSISTED MILLIMETER-WAVE BEAM MANAGEMENT
This application describes systems and processes for sensor-assisted antenna and beam selection for wireless networks. The systems and processes are configured to detect out of coverage (OoC) scenarios and perform beam management in response to detecting the OoC scenario. The systems and methods are configured to perform beam management during baseband interruption scenarios. In each scenario, the device (e.g., user equipment UE) is configured to determine whether the UE is static or mobile.

SESSION RECOVERY FROM DEDICATED BEARER FAILURE
Techniques and systems for recovering a communication session from a dedicated bearer failure are disclosed. For example, a P-CSCF node can determine that a dedicated bearer associated with a communication session has failed, and, in response, send a SIP message to a UE associated with the communication session, the SIP message causing the UE to refrain from sending SIP requests using a SIP INVITE method. The process may further include identifying a first network node associated with an identifier of the UE, the first network node comprising one of a PGW or a SMF, and sending an instruction to the first network node to dissociate the dedicated bearer from the communication session. This causes a new attach procedure to be performed by the UE to recover the session without session failure.
SLEEP WAKEUP METHODS FOR DISCONTINUOUS COVERAGE IN NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for resuming communications with a non-terrestrial network in discontinuous coverage. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes determining that the UE is or will be in an out-of-coverage state with a non-terrestrial network (NTN) for a first duration; entering a power saving state in response to the determination; exiting the power saving state when the UE expects to be in an in-coverage state with the NTN; and taking one or more actions to resume communications with the NTN.

CONFIGURATION OF BEAM FAILURE RECOVERY SEARCH SPACE SET FOR PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL REPETITION
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive information configuring a first search space (SS) set and a second SS set, wherein the first SS set is linked with the second SS set for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition, and wherein the first SS set is a recovery search space identifier configured SS set. The UE may monitor for a first one or more PDCCH candidates in the first SS set and a second one or more PDCCH candidates in the second SS set, wherein the first one or more PDCCH candidates and the second one or more PDCCH candidates are occurrences of a beam failure recovery response downlink control information (DCI). Numerous other aspects are described.

IDENTIFYING A USER EQUIPMENT, UE, FOR SUBSEQUENT NETWORK REESTABLISHMENT AFTER A RADIO LINK FAILURE DURING AN INITIAL NETWORK ESTABLISHMENT ATTEMPT
A method in a network node includes receiving a radio resource control (RRC) connection reestablishment request from a user equipment (UE). The method includes generating a new Long identifier, ID, for the UE. The method includes determining whether a UE Context Fetch is successful. The method includes responsive to determining that the UE Context Fetch is not successful, determining whether a Long ID has been fetched. The method includes responsive to determining that the Long ID has been fetched, placing the Long ID that has been fetched in a UE Context Fetch Failure event.
