A method of processing measurement information, a terminal, and an access network node are provided. The method is applied to a multi-connection system. The method includes: acquiring, by the terminal, measurement information on at least one frequency other than a serving frequency of a second access network node; and transmitting, by the terminal, the measurement information on the at least one frequency other than the serving frequency of the second access network node to the second access network node, where the at least one frequency other than the serving frequency of the second access network node includes a serving frequency of a first access network node.

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.

Methods, devices, and system related to wireless communications are disclosed. In one example aspect, a method for wireless communication includes receiving, by a first access node in a first type of communication network, a request from a wireless device to establish a voice session with an Internet Protocol Multimedia System (IMS); initiating, by the first access node, an IMS voice session establishment for the wireless device; configuring, by the first access node, a Quality of Service (QoS) for the IMS voice session using a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session modification request; and determining, in part based on one or more capabilities of the wireless device, to refrain from triggering a fallback to a second type of communication network for the IMS voice session establishment.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for enhancement of multi-SIM devices, such as UE 106. A network may increase paging retries for known MU-SIM devices, e.g., based on an indication of capabilities from a MU-SIM device. The indication may be via a NAS registration request, an RRC capability procedure, and/or an RRC UE assistance procedure. Additionally, a network may include an indication of a paging priority to the UE. The UE may then determine a response to the page based, at least in part, on the indicated priority. Further, the UE may indicate a tune-away to the network. The indication of the tune-away may include a cause and/or duration for the tune-away and may be provided at an RRC level or a network access stratum (NAS) level.

A radio access network (RAN) configured to support real-time communications over a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) connection is described herein. When a request for a data transmission is received and a real-time communication session over the LTE connection is established, the RAN utilizes the LTE connection, not a New Radio (NR) connection, for the data transmission. When a request for a further real-time communication is received and there is an active data transmission session over the NR connection, the RAN performs at least one of ceasing to allocate traffic to the NR connection for downlink or reconfiguring the data transmission session to send data over the LTE connection.

A method and system to control configuration of dual-connectivity service a user equipment device (UE), wherein the dual-connectivity service including the UE being served concurrently by a master node (MN) over a first connection and by a secondary node (SN) over a second connection. An example method includes (i) identifying multiple pairs of access nodes as candidate pairs of access nodes to be the MN and SN for the dual-connectivity service, (ii) for each identified pair, determining an inter-access-node communication delay, (iii) comparing the determined inter-access-node communication delays of the identified pairs and, based on the comparing, selecting one of the identified pairs to be the MN and SN for the dual-connectivity service, and (iv) causing the dual-connectivity service to be set up for the UE with the selected pair of access nodes being the MN and SN for the dual-connectivity service.

A wireless communication device for establishing two different user equipment (UE) radio access network (RAN) attachments. The wireless communication device comprises an application processor; a baseband processor; a non-transitory memory; a virtual user equipment (UE) application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the application processor as a first virtual UE instance accesses a first eSIM profile stored in the non-transitory memory, establishes a first UE attachment to a radio access network based on credentials accessed from the first eSIM profile, and conducts a first wireless communication session via the first UE attachment, and when executed by the application processor as a second virtual UE application instance accesses a second eSIM profile stored in the non-transitory memory, establishes a second UE attachment to a radio access network based on credentials accessed from the second eSIM profile, and conducts a second wireless communication session via the second UE attachment.
