A network device receives a fallback connection, for a 5G New Radio (NR) standalone-capable end device, from a second network to the first network to support a voice call on the end device, wherein the fallback connection supports a voice-over-LTE call. The network device detects an end of the VoLTE call and initiates, in response to the detecting, a handover of the end device back to the second network, wherein the initiating occurs while the end device is in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode. | 2021-08-19 |
20210258836 | MECHANISM TO ENABLE INTERWORKING BETWEEN NETWORK SLICING AND EVOLVED PACKET CORE CONNECTIVITY - Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a mechanism to enable interworking between fifth generation system (5GS) network slicing and evolved packet core (EPC) connectivity. In an example, techniques are provided for existing packet data unit (PDU) sessions that provide connectivity to a network slice from a set of network slices. Connectivity to the network slice is in response to a user equipment (UE), that uses network slices, moving between a 5G network and a 4G network. The existing PDU sessions are connected to a dedicated EPC core network that supports the same services provided by the network slice. | 2021-08-19 |

20210258838 | SYSTEM INFORMATION DESIGN FOR NEIGHBORING CELLS IN A NON-TERRESTRIAL NETWORK - Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive system information associated with a set of neighboring cells included in a non-terrestrial network (NTN). The UE may be connected to or camped in a current cell included in the NTN. The current cell may be associated with a current platform. The UE may monitor a neighboring cell, of the set of neighboring cells, based at least in part on the system information. Numerous other aspects are provided. | 2021-08-19 |
20210258839 | FACILITATION OF DYNAMIC SPECTRUM AGGREGATION FOR 5G OR OTHER NEXT GENERATION NETWORK - When frequency range 1 (FR1) (e.g., Sub6 Ghz radio coverage), and FR2 (e.g., mmW coverage) are present in a given area, there can be a broader coverage from FR1 broadcasting in addition to targeted coverage from FR2 broadcasting. Consequently, FR1 can overlap FR2. To generate system efficiencies, the FR1 and FR2 spectrums can be combined by carrier aggregation (CA) and/or dual connectivity (DC). Thus, a hybrid approach can combine use of both CA and DC, based on radio access network instructions and radio frequency conditions experienced by a user equipment device as it transitions between CA and DC coverage areas. | 2021-08-19 |
