[0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 198,319, filed October 9, 2020, entitled “TECHNIQUES FOR EXPOSURE-BASED SUSPENSIONS OF COMMUNICATION ATTEMPTS,” and U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application No. 17 / 449,755, filed October 1, 2021, entitled “TECHNIQUES FOR EXPOSURE-BASED SUSPENSIONS OF COMMUNICATION ATTEMPTS,” which are expressly incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure generally relates to wireless communications and to technologies and apparatus for suspending exposure-based communication attempts. Background Technology

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is an enhanced set of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard issued by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless network may include multiple base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communication between multiple user equipment (UEs). UEs can communicate with the BS via downlink and uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, while the uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, the BS may be referred to as Node B, gNB, Access Point (AP), Radio Headend, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), New Radio (NR) BS, 5G Node B, etc.

[0006] Various telecommunications standards employ the aforementioned multiple access technologies to provide a common protocol enabling different user equipment to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. NR, also known as 5G, is an enhancement set of the LTE mobile standard issued by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving service, utilizing new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards. These open standards use Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with a Cyclic Prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL) (CP-OFDM), and use CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Spectrum OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), and support beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies, and carrier aggregation. Further improvements to LTE, NR, and other wireless access technologies remain useful as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase. Summary of the Invention

[0065] The various aspects of this disclosure will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any particular structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art will understand that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects described herein. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatus or methods practiced using other structures, functions, or structures and functions that are outside of or different from the aspects of this disclosure described herein. It should be understood that any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0066] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be presented with reference to various devices and technologies. These devices and technologies will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether these elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0067] It should be noted that although aspects may be described herein using terms commonly associated with 5G or NR Radio Access Technologies (RATs), aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RATs, 4G RATs, and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0068] Figure 1The diagram illustrates an example of a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. Wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network and / or an LTE network, etc. Wireless network 100 may include multiple base stations 110 (shown as BS110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), etc. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​the BS and / or BS subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0069] A BS can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macrocell can cover a large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and allow unrestricted access for UEs with service subscriptions. A picocell can cover a smaller geographic area and allow unrestricted access for UEs with service subscriptions. A femtocell can cover a smaller geographic area (e.g., a home) and allow restricted access for UEs associated with a femtocell (e.g., a UE in a Closed User Group (CSG)). A BS used for macrocells can be referred to as a macro BS. A BS used for picocells can be referred to as a pico BS. A BS used for femtocells can be referred to as a femtocell BS or a home BS. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB,” “base station,” “NR BS,” “gNB,” “TRP,” “AP,” “Node B,” “5G NB,” and “cell” are used interchangeably herein.

[0070] In some respects, the cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some respects, the BS may be interconnected with each other and / or interconnected to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network through various backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections or virtual networks).

[0071] Wireless network 100 may also include relay stations. A relay station is an entity capable of receiving data transmissions from an upstream site (e.g., a BS or a UE) and transmitting data transmissions to a downstream site (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station can also be a UE capable of relaying transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, relay BS 110d can communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS can also be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, repeater, etc.

[0072] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network including different types of BSs such as macro BS, pico BS, femto BS, and relay BS. These different types of BSs can have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs can have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 watts to 40 watts), while pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs can have low transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 watts to 2 watts).

[0073] Network controller 130 can be coupled to a group of base stations (BSs) and can provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 can communicate with the BSs via backhaul. The BSs can also communicate with each other, for example, directly or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul.

[0074] UEs 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be distributed across the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, user unit, site, etc. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet computer, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or instrument, a biometric sensor / device, a wearable device (smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device or a satellite radio), an in-vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a GPS device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0075] Some UEs can be considered Machine-Type Communication (MTC) or Evolved or Enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC) UEs. For example, MTC and eMTC UEs include robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and / or location tags that can communicate with base stations, other devices (e.g., remote devices), or other entities. For example, a wireless node can provide connectivity to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or cellular networks) via wired or wireless communication links. Some UEs can be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices and / or can be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs can be considered Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 can be included within a housing housing the components of UE 120, such as processor components and / or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and memory components can be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) can be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0076] Typically, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network can support a specific Radio Access Platform (RAT) and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can also be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can also be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT within a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0077] In some respects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols) and / or mesh networks. In this case, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations as described elsewhere herein as performed by base station 110.

[0078] Devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using an operating band with a first frequency range (FR1), which spans from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz; and / or can communicate using an operating band with a second frequency range (FR2), which spans from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as midband frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as the "sub-6 GHz" band. Similarly, although different from the Extremely High Frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz to 300 GHz) designated as the "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), FR2 is often referred to as the "millimeter wave" band. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, it should be understood that the terms "sub-6 GHz" and the like (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or midband frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless otherwise specified, it should be understood that the terms "millimeter wave" and the like (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or midband frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is anticipated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 may be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to these modified frequency ranges.

[0079] As indicated above, with Figure 1 For example. Other examples may be combined with... Figure 1 The descriptions are different.

[0080] Figure 2 The figure illustrates an example 200 of communication between a base station 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a to 234t, and the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a to 252r, wherein, typically, T ≥ 1 and R ≥ 1.

[0081] At base station 110, transmitting processor 220 can receive data from one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQI) received from the UE, process (e.g., code and modulate) the data of each UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmitting processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., semi-static resource allocation information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper-layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmitting processor 220 can also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols (if applicable), and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can process its corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t can be transmitted respectively through T antennas 234a to 234t.

[0082] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations, and can provide the received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 254r respectively. Each demodulator 254 can adjust (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each demodulator 254 can further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain a received symbol. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide the detected symbols. Receive processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide the decoded data of UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide the decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine parameters such as the Received Reference Signal Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Received Reference Signal Quality (RSRQ), and / or CQI. In some respects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing.

[0083] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. For example, network controller 130 may include one or more devices in the core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

[0084] Antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include or be included in one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include coplanar antenna element sets and / or non-coplanar antenna element sets. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements within a single housing and / or antenna elements within multiple housings. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements coupled to, for example, Figure 2 One or more components of a transmitter and / or receiver, or one or more antenna elements.

[0085] On the uplink, at UE 120, the transmitting processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). The transmitting processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. If applicable, the symbols from the transmitting processor 264 can be pre-encoded by TX MIMO processor 266, further processed by modulators 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, the modulator and demodulator (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 254) of UE 120 can be included in the modem of UE 120. In some aspects, UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 252, modulator and / or demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264 and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein.

[0086] At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs can be received by antenna 234, processed by demodulator 232, detected by MIMO detector 236 (if applicable), and further processed by receiver processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receiver processor 238 can provide the decoded data to data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule UE 120 for downlink and / or uplink communication. In some aspects, the modulator and demodulator (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 232) of base station 110 may be included in the modem of base station 110. In some aspects, base station 110 includes transceivers. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modulator and / or demodulator 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220 and / or TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein.

[0087] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120 and / or Figure 2Any other component may perform one or more techniques associated with exposure-based communication attempt suspension, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component can execute or direct, for example Figure 4 The operation of process 400 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and 282 may store data and program code of base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, when one or more instructions are executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly executed or after compilation, transformation, and / or interpretation), one or more instructions may cause one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 to perform or direct, for example... Figure 4 The operation of process 400 and / or other processes as described herein. In some aspects, execution instructions may include run instructions, translation instructions, compilation instructions, and / or interpretation instructions.

[0088] In some aspects, the UE includes: components for communicating via a first connection using one or more transmission parameters; components for determining to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection in dual-connectivity mode based at least in part on the satisfaction of a threshold number of failed attempts to communicate via the second connection; and / or components for determining one or more parameters for suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection based at least in part on the determination of the satisfaction of the threshold number of failed attempts in association with one or more exposure conditions of one or more transmission parameters. For example, components for the UE to perform the operations described herein may include antenna 252, demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, modulator 254, controller / processor 280, and / or memory 282.

[0089] In some aspects, the UE includes: components for determining one or more conditions that allow an increase in transmission power in one or more subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection; and / or components for modifying one or more parameters for suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection.

[0090] As indicated above, with Figure 2 For example. Other examples may be combined with... Figure 2 The descriptions are different.

[0091] In some networks, the UE can be configured to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via the connection after multiple failed communication attempts. These failed communication attempts can be based on network conditions and / or conditions at the UE. However, failed communication attempts based at least partially on some conditions at the UE may not guarantee a suspension with the same parameters as those for failed communication attempts based at least partially on network conditions and / or other conditions at the UE. For example, failed communication attempts based at least partially on one or more exposure conditions (e.g., maximum allowed exposure parameters and / or specific absorption rates, etc.) can be based on one or more settings of the UE that may differ from network conditions (e.g., channel conditions).

[0092] For example, if the UE communicates via a first connection (e.g., an anchor connection) that is a high-priority connection, the UE may allow a higher exposure budget for the first connection and a lower exposure budget for a second connection that is a low-priority connection. Based at least in part on the second connection having a lower exposure budget, the UE may not transmit Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH) communications and / or scheduling requests with sufficient power to reach a base station that can provide the second connection. However, changes in transmit power associated with communication via the first connection, changes in average transmit power associated with communication via the first connection, and / or changes in one or more transmit parameters of the additional connection may allow the UE to increase the transmit power of the second connection, which may allow the UE to establish the second connection. However, based at least in part on the UE suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection, the UE may be prohibited from using the second connection even after the conditions that would allow the UE to establish the second connection change.

[0093] In some aspects described herein, the UE can determine whether a failed communication attempt via a second connection is at least partially based on the UE's network conditions or local conditions. For example, the UE can determine that a failed communication attempt is at least partially based on exposure limits (e.g., via a first connection) including exposures from other transmitters of the UE.

[0094] Based on the determination that failed attempts are based on exposure conditions (rather than network conditions), the UE can apply one or more parameters to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection. For example, one or more parameters may include: the duration for suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection; an indication of whether to forcibly suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection; and / or an indication of whether to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via other connections that share one or more parameters with the second connection. Thus, after a threshold number of communication attempts have failed, at least partly based on the cause of the failed attempts and at least partly based on exposure conditions, the UE can attempt to establish a second connection relatively quickly. This allows the UE to communicate with improved spectral efficiency, increases the likelihood of radio link failures in subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection, and / or conserves network resources.

[0095] Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating example 300 associated with the suspension of exposure-based communication attempts according to this disclosure. (See diagram 300 for example.) Figure 3 As shown, the UE (e.g., UE 120) can communicate with a first base station (e.g., base station 110) and / or a second base station (e.g., base station 110). The UE can communicate with the first base station via a first connection, and the UE can communicate with or attempt to communicate with the second base station via a second connection. In some aspects, the UE, the first base station, and / or the second base station can be part of one or more wireless networks (e.g., wireless network 100).

[0096] As shown by reference numeral 305 in the attached figure, the UE can receive configuration information, and the first base station can transmit the configuration information. In some aspects, the UE can receive configuration information and / or communication standards from another device (e.g., from a second base station and / or another UE). In some aspects, the UE can receive configuration information via one or more of Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Media Access Control (MAC) signaling (e.g., MAC Control Element (MAC CE)), etc. In some aspects, the configuration information may include indications of one or more configuration parameters selected by the UE (e.g., known to the UE), explicit configuration information for the UE to configure itself, etc.

[0097] In some aspects, the configuration information may instruct the UE to determine that multiple attempts to communicate via the second connection have failed, to determine to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection, and / or to determine one or more parameters for suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection (e.g., the duration of the suspension, an indication of whether to force a suspension, and / or an indication of whether to suspend attempts to communicate via other connections having one or more parameters common to the second connection) based at least in part on the determination of the cause of the failed attempts to communicate via the second connection. In some aspects, the configuration information may instruct the UE to determine whether one or more conditions allow an increase in the transmission power of one or more of the subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection and to modify one or more parameters for suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection based at least in part on one or more conditions.

[0098] The UE can be configured at least in part based on configuration information. In some respects, the UE can be configured to perform one or more of the operations described herein.

[0099] As shown by reference numeral 310 in the attached figure, the UE can communicate via a first connection using one or more transmission parameters. For example, one or more transmission parameters may include transmission power and / or time-averaged power, etc.

[0100] As shown by reference numeral 315 in the attached figure, the UE may perform one or more attempts to communicate via the second connection. In some aspects, one or more attempts to communicate via the second connection may fail, at least in part based on the UE's network conditions and / or one or more conditions. For example, one or more attempts to communicate via the second connection may fail, at least in part based on one or more exposure conditions. For example, the UE's smart transmission component may limit one or more transmission parameters for the one or more failed attempts, at least in part based on determining the total amount of radiation and / or exposure that would otherwise be met (e.g., met or exceeded) a threshold (e.g., a regulatory limit).

[0101] In some respects, the second connection may be associated with one or more cell parameters, including radio access technology, cell identifier, bandwidth, bandwidth portion and / or operating frequency range, etc.

[0102] As shown by reference numeral 320 in the accompanying figure, the UE can identify that a threshold number of failed attempts to communicate via the second connection in dual-connectivity mode has been met. In some aspects, the UE can determine to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection based at least in part on the identification of the threshold number of failed attempts (e.g., the number of failed attempts meets the threshold). In some aspects, the UE can determine to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection in dual-connectivity mode (e.g., together with the first connection) based at least in part on the satisfaction of the threshold number of failed attempts to communicate via the second connection. In some aspects, suspending subsequent attempts may include a blacklisting process of adding cells associated with the second connection to a blacklist (e.g., for a period of time).

[0103] As shown by reference numeral 325 in the accompanying figure, the UE can determine that the satisfaction of a threshold number of failed attempts is associated with one or more exposure conditions. For example, the UE can determine that the satisfaction of the threshold number of failed attempts is associated with one or more exposure conditions based at least in part on one or more transmission parameters used for transmission via the first connection. In some aspects, the UE can determine that the threshold number of failed attempts for communication via the second connection is based at least in part on the application of power limiting operations for one or more transmission parameters associated with the threshold number of failed attempts. In other words, the UE can determine that the cause of the failed attempts is at least in part based on the application of power limiting operations to the second connection, at least in part based on the fact that a relatively large portion of the exposure budget is used for the first connection.

[0104] As shown by reference numeral 330 in the attached figure, the UE may identify one or more parameters for suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection. In some aspects, the UE may identify one or more parameters for suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection based at least in part on a threshold number of failed attempts and at least in part on one or more exposure conditions based on one or more transmission parameters.

[0105] In some respects, suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection may include suspending attempts to communicate via a connection that has one or more parameters common to the second connection.

[0106] In some aspects, one or more parameters for suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection may include: the duration for which subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection are suspended; an indication of whether to force a suspension of subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection; and / or an indication of whether to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via other connections that have one or more parameters common to the second connection, etc.

[0107] In some respects, the parameters used to determine subsequent attempts to suspend communication via the second connection are based at least in part on: one or more parameters of candidate connections via neighboring cells, which have one or more parameters common to the second connection; the radio access technology of the second connection; the bandwidth of the second connection; a portion of the bandwidth of the second connection; and / or the operating frequency range for the second connection, etc.

[0108] As indicated by reference numeral 335 in the accompanying figure, the UE may identify one or more conditions that allow increased transmission (Tx) power for the second connection. For example, the UE may identify and / or determine one or more conditions that allow increased transmission power in one or more subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection. In some aspects, the UE may identify one or more conditions as including: a change (e.g., a decrease) in transmission power associated with communication via the first connection; a change (e.g., a decrease) in average transmission power associated with communication via the first connection; and / or a change in one or more transmission parameters of the additional connection (e.g., via a connection that is neither the first nor the second connection), etc.

[0109] In some aspects, the UE may modify one or more parameters used to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection, at least in part, based on one or more conditions that determine whether an increase in transmission power is permitted. In some aspects, modifying one or more parameters used to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection may include: terminating the suspension of subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection; and resuming subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection.

[0110] As indicated by reference numeral 340 in the accompanying drawings, the UE may perform one or more attempts to communicate via the second connection. In some aspects, the UE may perform one or more attempts to communicate via the second connection based at least in part on determining one or more conditions that allow increased transmission power for the second connection. In some aspects, the UE may perform one or more attempts to communicate via the second connection based at least in part on the completion of a pause (e.g., the expiration of the pause duration).

[0111] By applying one or more parameters to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via a second connection, the UE can attempt to establish a second connection relatively quickly after a threshold number of communication attempts have failed, based at least in part on the reasons for the failed attempts and at least in part on exposure conditions. This allows the UE to communicate with improved spectral efficiency, increases the likelihood of radio link failures in subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection, and / or conserves network resources.

[0112] As indicated above, with Figure 3 For example. Other examples may be combined with... Figure 3The descriptions are different.

[0113] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating, for example, an example process 400 performed by a UE according to this disclosure. Example process 400 is an example of an operation performed by a UE (e.g., UE 120) associated with an exposure-based communication attempt suspension technique.

[0114] like Figure 4 As shown, in some aspects, process 400 may include communication via a first connection using one or more transmission parameters (block 410). For example, as described above, the UE (e.g., using...) Figure 5 The receiving component 502 and / or the transmitting component 504 shown can communicate via the first connection using one or more transmitting parameters.

[0115] Further as Figure 4 As shown, in some aspects, process 400 may include: identifying that a threshold number of failed attempts to communicate in dual-connection mode via a second connection has been met (box 420). For example, the UE (e.g., using a communication manager 508, such as...) Figure 5 As shown, the threshold number of failed attempts to communicate in dual-connection mode via the second connection can be identified as having been met, as described above.

[0116] Further as Figure 4 As shown, in some aspects, process 400 may include at least partly based on determining a threshold number of failed attempts and at least partly based on one or more exposure conditions associated with one or more transmission parameters, identifying one or more parameters for suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection (box 430). For example, the UE (e.g., using a communication manager 508, such as...) Figure 5 As shown, one or more parameters for suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection can be identified, at least in part, based on a threshold number of failed attempts and at least in part on one or more exposure conditions based on one or more sending parameters, as described above.

[0127] In the tenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to ninth aspects, determining one or more parameters for suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection is based at least in part on one or more of the following: one or more parameters of a candidate connection via a neighboring cell, the candidate connection having one or more parameters common to the second connection; the radio access technology of the second connection; the bandwidth of the second connection; a portion of the bandwidth of the second connection; or the operating frequency range for the second connection.

[0129] In the twelfth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to tenth aspects, process 400 includes attempting to communicate via the second connection after suspending subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection.

Alternatively, two or more boxes of process 400 can be executed in parallel.

In some aspects, device 500 includes a receiving component 502 and a transmitting component 504, which can communicate with each other (e.g., via one or more buses and / or one or more other components).

For example, a component (or a portion of a component) may be implemented as instructions or code stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium and may be executed by a controller or processor to perform the function or operation of the component.

[0133] Receiver 502 may receive communications from device 506, such as reference signals, control information, data communications, or combinations thereof. Receiver 502 may provide the received communications to one or more other components of device 500. In some aspects, receiver 502 may perform signal processing on the received communications (such as filtering, amplification, demodulation, analog-to-digital conversion, demultiplexing, deinterleaving, demapping, equalization, interference cancellation, or decoding), and may provide the processed signals to one or more other components of device 506. In some aspects, receiver 502 may include the elements described above. Figure 2 The described UE includes one or more antennas, demodulators, MIMO detectors, receiver processors, controllers / processors, memory, or combinations thereof.

Figure 2 The described UE includes one or more antennas, modulators, transmit MIMO processors, transmit processors, controllers / processors, memory, or combinations thereof.
