Techniques for mobility control of dual access control devices

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication in which a user equipment (UE) may operate using two or more access control components that share a radio frequency (RF) component. The UE may adjust one or more reported measurement parameters based on the effects due to operation using the shared RF component. An estimated channel capacity of the serving cell and the neighboring cell may be determined and adjusted based on a concurrency loss associated with using the shared RF component. Based on the impact on the channel capacity, RSRP or ranking in the measurement report may be adjusted to reflect concurrency loss. Adjustments to reported measurement parameters may also be based on priorities of associated communications. Further, measurement objects of a measurement report may be ranked for measurement scheduling based on concurrency type, bandwidth, priority, or any combination thereof.

[0002] This patent application claims priority to Chinese PCT patent application No. PCT / CN2023 / 109473, filed July 27, 2023, entitled “TECHNIQUES FORMOBILITY CONTROL FOR DUAL SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE (SIM) DEVICES”, which has been assigned to the assignee of this application and is expressly incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The following content relates to wireless communication, including technologies for mobility control in dual-access control component devices. Background Technology

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, message sending and receiving, broadcasting, and so on. These systems can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources, such as time, frequency, and power. Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth-generation (4G) systems (such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-A Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems) and fifth-generation (5G) systems (which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems). These systems may employ technologies such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), or Discrete Fourier Transform Extended Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM).

[0005] A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations, each supporting wireless communication for communication devices, which may be referred to as user equipment (UE). Some UEs may include multiple access control components, such as a subscriber identity module (SIM), which allow the UE to have separate connections to different radio access networks (RANs), such as connections to different cellular networks (e.g., two or more 4G, 5G, or 6G networks) or connections to cellular and Wi-Fi networks or any combination thereof. More efficient connection management technologies for connections to different RANs are expected. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The described technology relates to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses for mobility control of devices having multiple access control components, such as subscriber identity modules (SIMs), Wi-Fi modules, or software stacks supporting different radio access technologies (RATs). For example, the described technology provides user equipment (UE) operating in a dual-stack configuration (e.g., a multi-SIM (MSIM) configuration) to estimate the channel capacity of serving network equipment and neighboring network equipment (e.g., a serving cell and one or more neighboring cells), and adjusts the channel capacity estimate based on concurrency losses. Measurement reports adjusted based on the adjusted channel capacity estimates can be provided to the network equipment to allow the network to make mobility decisions that take concurrency losses into account. In some cases, concurrency losses may be performance losses estimated for multiple uplink and downlink resource-sharing modes. Sharing modes may include transmit / receive concurrency modes (e.g., whether transmit / receive chains are shared during concurrent communication via multiple access control components, or whether the number of receive chains is reduced), coexistence of radio frequency (RF) devices (e.g., transmits on one SIM may interfere with receptions at another SIM), the frequency band in which each access control component operates (e.g., neighboring cells of one SIM may operate in frequency bands with different concurrency modes than the serving cell of another SIM), or any combination thereof. Based on the impact on channel capacity, one or more parameters in the measurement report may be adjusted to reflect concurrency preferences in mobility control.

[0007] Additionally or alternatively, the priority associated with each access control component can be used to identify which access control component (e.g., one with lower priority or QoS traffic) should have adjustments made to account for concurrency losses, and which another access control component (e.g., a higher priority access control component) should not have adjustments. Furthermore, in some cases, the measurement objects in the measurement report can be sorted for measurement scheduling based on concurrency type, bandwidth, priority, or any combination thereof. The measurement report may include measurements or adjusted measurements (e.g., adjusted parameter values) ranked based on the concurrency losses associated with different measurements.

[0031] In some wireless communication systems, a user equipment (UE) may include two or more access control components, such as a subscriber identity module (SIM), a Wi-Fi module, or a stack of multiple stacks, each associated with a radio access technology (RAT). Each access control component may be associated with a different network through which the UE can communicate. For example, a first SIM or stack may support communication with a first mobile network operator (MNO), and a second SIM or stack may support communication with a second MNO. In other cases, a first SIM or stack may support communication on a cellular network, and a Wi-Fi module (e.g., performing communication according to the IEEE 802.11 protocol) may support communication on a Wi-Fi network.

[0032] While the various examples discussed herein refer to dual-SIM or multi-SIM operation, it should be understood that the described techniques are applicable to concurrent communication using different access control components, such as SIMs, Wi-Fi modules, or combinations of software stacks associated with one or more RATs. For example, a multi-stack device may have two or more independent software stacks, each associated with a RAT. In some examples, a dual-stack device may have a first stack associated with a 6G RAT and a second stack associated with a 5G RAT. Furthermore, each stack may be associated with a subscription for the device, and both subscriptions may belong to the same account with the same operator. Users of such devices may be unaware of the existence of two subscriptions, and in devices with multiple SIMs, users may disable or enable SIMs, or exchange priorities, in some cases. In some aspects, for dual-stack devices, network operators may be able to signal updated mobility parameters and the priority of each RAT, and instruct the dual-stack device to prioritize mobility, such as based on application, location, and network conditions. Furthermore, in some cases, the network may provide priority based on service type, location, network coverage, user speed, or other criteria. In some aspects, for dual-stack devices, the same SIM or a separate SIM may enable access for two RATs. In some respects, the UE may signal its multi-access control component capabilities and preferred priority ordering, whereby the UE may select certain RATs for measurement based on its hardware and / or software capabilities. Such capabilities may be associated with one or more RATs, one or more different frequency ranges (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3), and different access control components may be connected to RATs that may or may not have time synchronization.

[0033] In some aspects, the UE may support features such as concurrent operation of each of two or more access control components under dual SIM / stack dual activity (DSDA) operation, where a first subscriber and a second subscriber in connected mode (e.g., a first SIM / stack and a second SIM / stack, which may also be referred to as a first sub-SIM / stack and a second sub-SIM / stack) can share RF resources, such as RF components and baseband resources. RF components may include RF front-end devices such as transmit chains, transmit power amplifiers (PAs), receive chains, antenna switches, antennas, band selection switches, receive low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), etc. Baseband resources may include processing resources (e.g., computational resources) and memory resources that provide computation for maintaining one or more communication links of the UE, enhancing the quality of one or more communication links, or any combination thereof. For example, baseband resources may provide processing and memory resources that support the total number of component carriers (CCs) in carrier aggregation in the uplink and downlink, the number of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers, the maximum modulation and decoding scheme (MCS) index and modulation scheme, the maximum throughput limit, or any combination thereof. Such RF front-end devices or components, as well as baseband resources, are collectively referred to herein as the UE's "resources" or "RF resources." Additionally, RF resources may be shared or separated from the UE's "application computing resources," which may include resources associated with running specific applications or services linked to the SIM. For example, application computing resources may include application memory and processing resources (e.g., computing resources, artificial intelligence (AI) resources, machine learning (ML) resources, or any combination thereof). Furthermore, while the various examples discussed herein relate to cellular wireless communications, the described techniques can be used in any type of system where the UE's RF resources are shared to communicate with two or more separate networks, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN) accessed by the UE via an associated access point.

[0034] In some cases, to reduce costs, hardware component space, and processing power, multiple access control components (ACCS) may share the same set of RF resources (e.g., baseband resources, RF components). During ACCS operation using shared RF resources, the throughput of each served cell may be affected due to the reduced number of antennas or other RF components available to the ACCS, or due to interference generated from another ACCS. However, when making mobility decisions, network entities rely on measurement reports from the UE, which may not account for the ACCS impact. Therefore, in some cases, mobility decisions at the network entity may lead to less than ideal cell selection because neighboring cells may actually be more advantageous (e.g., because neighboring cells operate in different frequency bands with lower MSIM impact, or have larger bandwidth) even if one or more parameter measurements (e.g., Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP)) are lower than the serving cell. Therefore, enhancements to ACCS mobility can be beneficial in accounting for the reduced channel capacity of cells during ACCS operation.

[0035] Depending on various aspects, a UE operating in a multi-access control (MIC) configuration may adjust the reporting parameters of one or more measurement reports based on the impact caused by MAC operation. In some cases, the UE may estimate the channel capacity of the serving cell and neighboring cells and adjust the channel capacity estimate based on MAC concurrency losses. The measurement reports provided to network entities may be adjusted based on the adjusted channel capacity estimates to allow network entities to make more accurate mobility decisions that take into account potential MAC concurrency losses for one or more cells. In some cases, performance losses may be estimated for multiple uplink and downlink resource sharing modes. Such sharing modes may include, for example, transmit / receive concurrency modes (e.g., whether transmit chains are shared in TDD mode or whether the number of receive chains is reduced), RF device coexistence (e.g., transmits on a first SIM may interfere with receptions on a second SIM), frequency bands in which cells operate (e.g., neighboring cells of a SIM may operate in frequency bands with different concurrency modes), or any combination thereof. In some cases, the RSRP or ranking in the measurement report may be adjusted based on its impact on channel capacity to reflect the concurrency preferences of multiple access control components (MOCs) in mobility control. Additionally or alternatively, the priority associated with each MOC may be used to identify one MOC selected with adjustments made to account for MOC concurrency losses (e.g., with lower priority traffic or lower Quality of Service (QoS) targets), while another MOC (e.g., a higher priority SIM) remains unadjusted. Furthermore, in some aspects, the measurement objects in the measurement report may be sorted for measurement scheduling based on concurrency type, bandwidth, priority, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the measurement report may include measurements or adjusted measurements (e.g., adjusted RSRP values) based on rankings of MOC concurrency losses associated with different measurements.

[0036] Various aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented to achieve one or more of the following potential advantages. For example, based on the techniques implementing this disclosure, the UE can report parameters for mobility determination to provide efficient communication at the UE. For example, providing parameters based on the multi-access control component concurrency conditions at the UE can specify the estimated impact of mobility decisions based on concurrent access control component communications (e.g., concurrent SIM communications, concurrent communications on different stacks of a dual-stack UE, or Wi-Fi module and SIM communications when the Wi-Fi module and SIM share RF components). Therefore, such techniques can enhance UE efficiency, increase data rates, reduce power consumption, and provide an enhanced user experience.

[0037] First, aspects of this disclosure are described within the context of wireless communication systems. Then, examples of concurrent access control component communication, shared RF resources, and measurement scheduling and reporting are discussed. Aspects of this disclosure are further illustrated and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts relating to techniques for mobility control of dual access control component devices.

[0038] Figure 1 An example of a wireless communication system 100 supporting techniques for mobility control of a dual access control component device according to one or more aspects of this disclosure is shown. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more network entities 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an Advanced LTE (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, a New Radio (NR) network, or a network operating under other systems and radio technologies, including future systems and radio technologies not explicitly mentioned herein.

[0039] Network entity 105 may be distributed across a geographical area to form wireless communication system 100, and may include devices employing different forms or having different capabilities. In various examples, network entity 105 may be referred to as a network element, mobility element, radio access network (RAN) node, or network equipment, etc. In some examples, network entity 105 and UE 115 may wirelessly communicate via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., radio frequency (RF) access links). For example, network entity 105 may support coverage area 110 (e.g., a geographical coverage area) within which UE 115 and network entity 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. Coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographical area within which network entity 105 and UE 115 may support the transmission of signals according to one or more radio access technologies (RATs).

[0040] UE 115 can be distributed throughout the coverage area 110 of wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 can be stationary or mobile, or stationary and mobile at different times. UE 115 can be devices in different forms or with different capabilities. Figure 1 Some example UE 115s are illustrated herein. The UE 115 described herein can be able to support various types of devices (such as, e.g., ...). Figure 1 It communicates with other UEs (115 or network entity 105) as shown.

[0041] As described herein, nodes of the wireless communication system 100 (which may be referred to as network nodes or wireless nodes) may be network entity 105 (e.g., any network entity described herein), UE 115 (e.g., any UE described herein), network controller, apparatus, device, computing system, one or more components, or another suitable processing entity configured to perform any of the techniques described herein. For example, a node may be UE 115. Alternatively, a node may be network entity 105. Furthermore, a first node may be configured to communicate with a second or third node. In one aspect of this example, the first node may be UE 115, the second node may be network entity 105, and the third node may be UE 115. In another aspect of this example, the first node may be UE 115, the second node may be network entity 105, and the third node may be network entity 105. In other aspects of this example, the first node, the second node, and the third node may be different from these examples. Similarly, references to UE 115, network entity 105, device, equipment, computing system, etc., may include disclosures of UE 115, network entity 105, device, equipment, computing system, etc., as nodes. For example, a disclosure that UE 115 is configured to receive information from network entity 105 also discloses that a first node is configured to receive information from a second node.

[0042] In some examples, network entity 105 may communicate with core network 130, communicate with each other, or both. For example, network entity 105 may communicate with core network 130 via one or more backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to S1, N2, N3, or other interface protocols). In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with each other directly (e.g., directly between network entities 105) or indirectly (e.g., via core network 130) via backhaul communication links 120 (e.g., according to X2, Xn, or other interface protocols). In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with each other via midhaul communication link 162 (e.g., according to midhaul interface protocol) or fronthaul communication link 168 (e.g., according to fronthaul interface protocol) or any combination thereof. Backhaul communication link 120, midhaul communication link 162, or fronthaul communication link 168 may be or include one or more wired links (e.g., electrical links, fiber optic links), one or more wireless links (e.g., radio links, wireless optical links), etc., or various combinations thereof. UE 115 can communicate with core network 130 via communication link 155.

[0043] One or more network entities in network entity 105 described herein may include or be referred to as base station 140 (e.g., transceiver base station, radio base station, NR base station, access point, radio transceiver, node B, eNodeB (eNB), next-generation node B or gigabit node B (any of which may be referred to as gNB), 5G NB, next-generation eNB (ng-eNB), home node B, home evolution node B, or other suitable terms). In some examples, network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140) may be implemented in an aggregated (e.g., monolithic, standalone) base station architecture that may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single network entity 105 (e.g., a single RAN node, such as base station 140).

[0044] In some examples, network entity 105 may be implemented in a decomposed architecture (e.g., a decomposed base station architecture, a decomposed RAN architecture) that can be configured to utilize protocol stacks physically or logically distributed across two or more network entities 105, such as an Integrated Access Backhaul (IAB) network, an Open RAN (O-RAN) (e.g., a network configuration sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance), or a Virtualized RAN (vRAN) (e.g., a Cloud RAN (C-RAN)). For example, network entity 105 may include one or more of the following: a Central Unit (CU) 160, a Distributed Unit (DU) 165, a Radio Unit (RU) 170, a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) 175 (e.g., a near-real-time RIC, a non-real-time RIC), a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) 180 system, or any combination thereof. 170 may also be referred to as a radio headend, intelligent radio headend, remote radio headend (RRH), remote radio unit (RRU), or transmit / receive point (TRP). One or more components of network entity 105 in a decomposed RAN architecture may be co-located, or one or more components of network entity 105 may be located in distributed locations (e.g., separate physical locations). In some examples, one or more network entities 105 in a decomposed RAN architecture may be implemented as virtual units (e.g., virtual CU (VCU), virtual DU (VDU), virtual RU (VRU)).

[0045] The functional splitting among CU 160, DU 165, and RU 170 is flexible and can support different functionalities depending on which functions (e.g., network layer functions, protocol layer functions, baseband functions, RF functions, and any combination thereof) are performed at CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170. For example, a protocol stack functional splitting can be used between CU 160 and DU 165, allowing CU 160 to support one or more layers of the protocol stack, and DU 165 to support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. In some examples, CU 160 can host higher protocol layer (e.g., Layer 3 (L3), Layer 2 (L2)) functionalities and signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC), Serving Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)). CU 160 can connect to one or more DU 165 or RU 170, and one or more DU 165 or RU 170 can host lower protocol layers, such as Layer 1 (L1) (e.g., Physical (PHY) layer) or L2 (e.g., Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, Medium Access Control (MAC) layer) functionality and signaling, and each can be at least partially controlled by CU 160. Additionally or alternatively, a protocol stack functional split can be employed between DU 165 and RU 170, such that DU 165 can support one or more layers of the protocol stack, and RU 170 can support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. DU 165 can support one or more different cells (e.g., via one or more RU 170). In some cases, functional decomposition between CU 160 and DU 165, or between DU 165 and RU 170, can be performed within the protocol layer (e.g., some functions of the protocol layer can be performed by one of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170, while other functions of the protocol layer can be performed by different of CU 160, DU 165, or RU 170). CU 160 can be further functionally decomposed into CU control plane (CU-CP) functions and CU user plane (CU-UP) functions. CU 160 can be connected to one or more DU 165 via midhaul communication link 162 (e.g., F1, F1-c, F1-u), and DU 165 can be connected to one or more RU 170 via fronthaul communication link 168 (e.g., open fronthaul (FH) interface). In some examples, the midhaul communication link 162 or the fronthaul communication link 168 may be implemented based on the interfaces (e.g., channels) between the layers of the protocol stack, which are supported by the corresponding network entities 105 communicating via such communication links.

[0046] In a wireless communication system (e.g., wireless communication system 100), the infrastructure and spectrum resources for radio access can support wireless backhaul link capabilities to supplement wired backhaul connections, thereby providing an IAB network architecture (e.g., to core network 130). In some cases, in an IAB network, one or more network entities 105 (e.g., IAB node 104) may be partially controlled by each other. One or more IAB nodes 104 may be referred to as donor entities or IAB donors. One or more DU 165s or one or more RU 170s may be partially controlled by one or more CU 160s associated with donor network entity 105 (e.g., donor base station 140). One or more donor network entities 105 (e.g., IAB donors) may communicate with one or more additional network entities 105 (e.g., IAB node 104) via supported access and backhaul links (e.g., backhaul communication link 120). IAB node 104 may include an IAB mobile terminal (IAB-MT) controlled (e.g., scheduled) by a DU 165 of a coupled IAB donor. The IAB-MT may include a separate set of antennas for relaying communication with UE 115, or may share the same antennas (e.g., those of RU 170) for access to IAB node 104 via DU 165 of IAB node 104. (e.g., referred to as a virtual IAB-MT (vIAB-MT)). In some examples, IAB node 104 may include a DU 165 that supports communication links with additional entities (e.g., IAB node 104, UE 115) within a relay chain or configuration (e.g., downstream) of the access network. In such cases, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., one or more IAB nodes 104 or components of IAB node 104) may be configured to operate according to the techniques described herein.

[0047] For example, the access network (AN) or RAN may include communication between an access node (e.g., an IAB donor), IAB node 104, and one or more UEs 115. The IAB donor may facilitate connectivity between the core network 130 and the AN (e.g., via a wired or wireless connection to the core network 130). That is, an IAB donor may refer to a RAN node having a wired or wireless connection to the core network 130. The IAB donor may include a CU 160 and at least one DU 165 (e.g., and RU 170), wherein the CU 160 may communicate with the core network 130 via an interface (e.g., a backhaul link). The IAB donor and IAB node 104 may communicate via an F1 interface according to a protocol defining the signaling messages (e.g., the F1 AP protocol). Additionally or alternatively, the CU 160 may communicate with the core network via an interface (which may be part of a backhaul link) and may communicate with other CU 160s (e.g., CU 160 associated with an alternative IAB donor) via an Xn-C interface (which may be part of a backhaul link).

[0048] IAB node 104 may refer to a RAN node that provides IAB functionality (e.g., access for UE 115, radio self-backhaul capability, etc.). DU 165 may act as a distributed scheduling node toward child nodes associated with IAB node 104, and IAB-MT may act as a scheduled node toward a parent node associated with IAB node 104. That is, an IAB donor may be referred to as a parent node communicating with one or more child nodes (e.g., an IAB donor may relay for UE transmissions via one or more other IAB nodes 104). Additionally or alternatively, depending on the AN's relay chain or configuration, IAB node 104 may also be referred to as a parent or child node of other IAB nodes 104. Therefore, the IAB-MT entity of IAB node 104 can provide a Uu interface for child IAB node 104 to receive signaling from parent IAB node 104, and the DU interface (e.g., DU 165) can provide a Uu interface for parent IAB node 104 to send signaling notifications to child IAB node 104 or UE 115.

[0049] For example, IAB node 104 may be referred to as a parent node supporting communication to child IAB nodes, or as a child IAB node associated with an IAB donor, or both. An IAB donor may include a CU 160 having a wired or wireless connection to core network 130 (e.g., backhaul communication link 120) and may act as a parent node of IAB node 104. For example, the IAB donor's DU 165 may relay transmissions to UE 115 via IAB node 104, or may signal transmissions directly to UE 115, or both. The IAB donor's CU 160 may signal the establishment of a communication link to IAB node 104 via an F1 interface, and IAB node 104 may schedule transmissions via DU 165 (e.g., transmissions relayed from the IAB donor to UE 115). That is, data may be relayed to and from IAB node 104 via signaling through the NR Uu interface of the MT to IAB node 104. Communication with IAB node 104 can be scheduled by DU 165 of the IAB donor, and communication with IAB node 104 can be scheduled by DU 165 of IAB node 104.

[0050] In the context of applying the techniques described herein to a decomposed RAN architecture, one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture may be configured to support the techniques described herein for mobility control of dual access control component devices. For example, some operations described as being performed by UE 115 or network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140) may additionally or alternatively be performed by one or more components of the decomposed RAN architecture (e.g., IAB node 104, DU 165, CU 160, RU 170, RIC 175, SMO 180).

[0051] UE 115 may include or be referred to as a mobile device, wireless device, remote device, handheld device, or subscriber device, or any other suitable term, wherein "device" may also be referred to as a cell, station, terminal, or client, etc. UE 115 may also include or be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer, laptop computer, or personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, Internet of Things (IoT) device, Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or machine-type communication (MTC) device, etc., which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances or vehicles, meters, etc.

[0052] The UE 115 described herein can communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115 that sometimes act as relays, network entities 105, and network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, etc. Figure 1 As shown.

[0053] UE 115 and network entity 105 can wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 (e.g., access links) using resources associated with one or more carriers. The term "carrier" can refer to a set of RF spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting communication link 125. For example, a carrier for communication link 125 may include a portion of the RF spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) operating according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling coordinating carrier operation, user data, or other signaling. Wireless communication system 100 can support communication with UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. Depending on the carrier aggregation configuration, UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers. Carrier aggregation can be used in conjunction with both frequency division duplex (FDD) component carriers and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers. Communication between network entity 105 and other devices can refer to communication between these devices and any part of network entity 105 (e.g., entity, sub-entity). For example, the terms “send,” “receive,” or “communicate” when referring to network entity 105 can refer to any part of the RAN’s network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, CU160, DU 165, RU 170) communicating with another device (e.g., directly or via one or more other network entities 105).

[0054] In some examples, such as in carrier aggregation configurations, a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling to coordinate the operation of other carriers. A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) Absolute RF Channel Number (EARFCN)) and may be identified according to a channel grating used for discovery by UE 115. A carrier may operate in standalone mode, in which case initial acquisition and connection can be performed by UE 115 via that carrier, or the carrier may operate in non-standalone mode, in which case different carriers (e.g., the same or different radio access technologies) are used to anchor the connection.

[0055] The communication link 125 shown in the wireless communication system 100 may include downlink transmission (e.g., forward link transmission) from network entity 105 to UE 115, uplink transmission (e.g., return link transmission) from UE 115 to network entity 105, or both, as well as other transmission configurations. A carrier may carry downlink communication or uplink communication (e.g., in FDD mode), or may be configured to carry both downlink and uplink communication (e.g., in TDD mode).

[0056] A carrier may be associated with a specific bandwidth of the RF spectrum, and in some examples, the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as the carrier or the “system bandwidth” of the wireless communication system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one bandwidth in a set of bandwidths for a particular radio access technology (e.g., 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz). Devices of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., network entity 105, UE 115, or both) may have hardware configurations that support communication using a specific carrier bandwidth, or may be configured to support communication using one of the carrier bandwidths in a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may include network entity 105 or UE 115 that supports concurrent communication using carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured to operate using a portion (e.g., subband, BWP) or all of the carrier bandwidth.

[0057] The signal waveform transmitted via a carrier may include multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform extended OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM, a resource element may refer to a resource of one symbol period (e.g., the duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, in which case the symbol period and subcarrier spacing may be inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the decoding rate of the modulation scheme, or both), such that a relatively high number of resource elements (e.g., in the transmission duration) and a relatively high modulation scheme order correspond to a relatively high communication rate. Wireless communication resources may refer to a combination of RF spectrum resources, temporal resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial resources may increase the data rate or data integrity used for communication with UE 115.

[0058] It can support one or more sets of parameters for a carrier, and the set of parameters may include subcarrier spacing ( (and cyclic prefix). A carrier can be divided into one or more BWPs with the same or different sets of parameters. In some examples, UE 115 can be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP of a carrier can be active at a given time, and the communication of UE 115 can be constrained to one or more active BWPs.

[0059] The time interval for network entity 105 or UE 115 can be expressed as a multiple of a basic time unit, such as the sampling period. seconds, of which This can represent the supported subcarrier spacing, while The supported Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) size can be represented. The time interval of the communication resources can be organized according to radio frames, each with a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame can be identified by a System Frame Number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0060] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may (e.g., in the time domain) be divided into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a number of time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include a number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix appended to each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, time slots may be further divided into multiple micro-time slots associated with one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may be associated with one or more (e.g., The duration of a symbol period is associated with a (number) sampling period. The duration of a symbol period can depend on the subcarrier spacing or the operating frequency band.

[0061] A subframe, time slot, micro-time slot, or symbol can be the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., in the time domain) and can be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the duration of the TTI (e.g., the number of symbol periods in the TTI) can be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 can be dynamically selected (e.g., in a burst of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0062] Depending on the technology, carriers can be used to multiplex physical channels for communication. One or more of Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM), or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques can be used, for example, to multiplex physical control channels and physical data channels for signaling via a downlink carrier. The control region (e.g., control resource set (CORESET)) of the physical control channel can be defined by a set of symbol periods and can extend across the system bandwidth of the carrier or a subset of that bandwidth. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESET) can be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more UEs in UE 115 can monitor or search for control regions to obtain control information based on one or more search space sets, and each search space set can include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a concatenated manner. The aggregation level of control channel candidates can refer to the amount of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with coded information for a control information format having a given payload size. The search space set may include: a common search space set configured to transmit control information to multiple UEs 115, and a UE-specific search space set used to transmit control information to a specific UE 115.

[0063] Network entity 105 may provide communication coverage via one or more cells (e.g., macro cells, small cells, hotspots, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof). The term "cell" may refer to a logical communication entity used to communicate with network entity 105 (e.g., using a carrier) and may be associated with an identifier used to distinguish adjacent cells (e.g., Physical Cell Identifier (PCID), Virtual Cell Identifier (VCID), or other cell identifier). In some examples, a cell may also refer to a coverage area 110 or a portion of coverage area 110 (e.g., a sector) in which a logical communication entity operates. Depending on various factors such as the capabilities of network entity 105, the extent of such cells may range from smaller areas (e.g., structures, subsets of structures) to larger areas. For example, a cell may be or may include buildings, subsets of buildings, or external space between or overlapping coverage areas 110, etc.

[0064] In some examples, network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170) may be mobile, and thus provide communication coverage to mobile coverage areas 110. In some examples, different coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same network entity 105. In some other examples, overlapping coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different network entities 105. The wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of network entities 105 use the same or different radio access technologies to provide coverage for various coverage areas 110.

[0065] Wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low-latency communication, or various combinations thereof. For example, wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communication may include private or group communication and may be supported by one or more services, such as push-to-talk, video, or data. Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions may include prioritizing services, and such services may be used for public safety or general business applications. The terms “ultra-reliable,” “low-latency,” and “ultra-reliable low-latency” are used interchangeably herein.

[0066] In some examples, UE 115 may be configured to support direct communication with other UE 115s via device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., according to peer-to-peer (P2P), D2D, or sidelink protocols). In some examples, one or more UE 115s performing D2D communication in a group may be within the coverage area 110 of network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170), which may support aspects of such D2D communication configured (e.g., scheduled by network entity 105). In some examples, one or more UE 115s in such a group may be outside the coverage area 110 of network entity 105, or may otherwise be unable or not configured to receive transmissions from network entity 105. In some examples, the group of UE 115s communicating via D2D communication may support a one-to-many (1:M) system, where each UE 115 transmits to each of the other UE 115s in the group. In some examples, network entity 105 may facilitate the scheduling of resources used for D2D communication. In other examples, D2D communication may be performed between UEs 115 without involving network entity 105.

[0067] Core network 130 provides user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. Core network 130 can be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), access and mobility management function (AMF)) for managing access and mobility, and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or user plane function (UPF)) for routing packets or interconnecting to external networks. The control plane entity manages non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management of UE 115 served by network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140) associated with core network 130. User IP packets can be transferred through user plane entities, which provide IP address allocation and other functions. User plane entities can connect to one or more network operator IP services 150. IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, intranets, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0068] Wireless communication system 100 can operate using one or more frequency bands in the range of 300 MHz to 300 GHz. Generally, the area from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is referred to as the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band or decimeter band because the wavelength range is approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features (which may be referred to as clusters), but these waves are sufficient to penetrate structures so that macrocells can provide service to UE 115 located indoors. Compared to communication using smaller frequencies and longer wavelengths in the lower frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz, communication using UHF waves can be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 km).

[0069] Wireless communication system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed RF spectrum bands. For example, wireless communication system 100 may use unlicensed frequency bands (such as the 5 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band) to employ Licensed Assisted Access (LAA), LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology. When operating with unlicensed RF spectrum, devices such as network entity 105 and UE 115 may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operation using unlicensed frequency bands may be combined with component carriers operating with licensed frequency bands based on carrier aggregation configurations (e.g., LAA). Operation using unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmission, uplink transmission, P2P transmission, or D2D transmission, etc.

[0070] Network entity 105 (e.g., base station 140, RU 170) or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that can be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication, or beamforming. The antennas of network entity 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which can support MIMO operation or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly (such as an antenna tower). In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with network entity 105 may be located at different geographical locations. Network entity 105 may include an antenna array having a collection of multiple rows and columns of antenna ports that network entity 105 can use to support beamforming for communication with UE 115. Similarly, UE 115 may include one or more antenna arrays that can support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support RF beamforming for signals transmitted via the antenna ports.

[0071] Network entity 105 or UE 115 can use MIMO communication to leverage multipath signal propagation and improve spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. This technique is known as spatial multiplexing. The multiple signals can be transmitted, for example, by a transmitting device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Similarly, the multiple signals can be received by a receiving device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals can be referred to as a separate spatial stream and can carry information associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers can be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include: single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), for which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device; and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), for which multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices.

[0072] Beamforming (also known as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that can be used at a transmitting or receiving device (e.g., network entity 105, UE 115) to shape or guide an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting and receiving devices. Beamforming can be achieved by combining signals transmitted via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating along a specific orientation relative to the antenna array experience constructive interference, while other signals experience destructive interference. Adjustments to the signals transmitted via the antenna elements may include applying amplitude shifts, phase shifts, or both to the signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the device. The adjustments associated with each of these antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a specific orientation (e.g., relative to the antenna array of the transmitting or receiving device or relative to some other orientation).

[0073] The wireless communication system 100 can be a packet-based network operating according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communication at the bearer or PDCP layer can be IP-based. The RLC layer can perform packet segmentation and reassembly for transmission via logical channels. The MAC layer can perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels to transport channels. The MAC layer can also use error detection, error correction, or both to support retransmission to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the RRC layer can provide the establishment, configuration, and maintenance of RRC connections between the UE 115 and network entity 105 or core network 130 that support user plane data radio bearers. The PHY layer can map transport channels to physical channels.

[0074] In some aspects, one or more UEs 115 may operate according to a multi-access control component (MAC) configuration, and the reporting parameters of one or more measurement reports may be adjusted based on the impact caused by the operation of the MACs. In some cases, the UE may estimate the channel capacity of the serving cell and neighboring cells, and adjust the channel capacity estimate based on concurrency losses. In some cases, performance losses may be estimated for multiple uplink and downlink resource sharing modes, such as transmit / receive concurrency modes, RF device coexistence, frequency bands in which the cell operates, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the RSRP or ranking in the measurement reports may be adjusted based on the impact on channel capacity to reflect concurrency preferences in mobility control. Additionally or alternatively, an access control component may be selected with adjustments that take into account multi-access control component concurrency losses, using the priority associated with each MAC, while another access control component (e.g., a higher-priority access control component) remains unadjusted. Furthermore, in some aspects, the measurement objects in the measurement reports may be sorted for measurement scheduling based on concurrency type, bandwidth, priority, or any combination thereof. In some cases, measurement reports may include measurements or adjusted measurements (e.g., adjusted RSRP values) based on the ranking of MSIM concurrency losses associated with different measurements.

[0075] Figure 2 Examples of wireless communication systems 200 supporting techniques for mobility control of dual-access control component devices according to one or more aspects of this disclosure are shown. In some examples, wireless communication system 200 may implement aspects of wireless communication system 100. Figure 2 In the example, the wireless communication system 200 may include a first network entity 105-a, a second network entity 105-b, a third network entity 105-c, and a UE 115-a, which may be related to... Figure 1 Examples of the corresponding devices described. First network entity 105-a can provide communication for a first network associated with a first SIM 235 at UE 115-a, and second network entity 105-b can provide communication for a second network associated with a second SIM 240 at UE 115-a. Although Figures 2 to 7The example illustrates a SIM, but it should be understood that this type of SIM is an example of an access control component, and other types of access control components may exist (e.g., UE 115 may be a dual-stack device, a dual-SIM device, using a SIM and a Wi-Fi module for network access, etc.). A first network entity 105-a may send downlink communication 205 to UE 115-a, and UE 115-a may send uplink communication 210 to the first network entity 105-a, wherein downlink communication 205 and uplink communication 210 are associated with a first SIM 235. Similarly, network entity 105-b may send downlink communication 215 to UE 115-a, and UE 115-a may send uplink communication 220 to a second network entity 105-b, wherein downlink communication 215 and uplink communication 220 are associated with a second SIM 240.

[0076] To support communication between the first network entity 105-a, the second network entity 105-b, and the UE 115-a, each network entity 105 may transmit one or more reference signals 250 (e.g., Channel State Information (CSI) reference signals, Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs), Demodulation Reference Signals (DMRS), Tracking Reference Signals (TRS), etc.). The UE 115-a may measure one or more metrics of the received reference signals 250 and provide a measurement report 255 to the network entity 105. In some cases, the UE 115-a may identify RF resources used for uplink and downlink communication based on concurrency type, which may affect communication using one or both of the first SIM 235 or the second SIM 240. Furthermore, the third network entity 105-c may provide neighboring cells to one of the first network entity 105-a or the second network entity 105-b and may transmit reference signals 250 via downlink communication 225. Measurements from neighboring cells can be provided together with a measurement report 255 of the associated network entity 105 (e.g., if a third network entity 105-c provides neighboring cells of a second network entity 105-b, then a second SIM will be used to provide neighboring cell measurements in a measurement report 255 provided via uplink communication 220).

[0077] In some respects, the first SIM 235 and the second SIM 240 may operate according to an MSIM configuration. This MSIM configuration can provide the UE with enhanced capabilities for concurrent communication with multiple different networks. To reduce cost and hardware component space, in some cases, two or more SIMs may share the same set of RF resources (e.g., RF components, baseband resources, etc.). Techniques such as those discussed herein may allow the UE 115-a to provide measurement reports 255 that include one or more adjustments that take into account the communication impact due to concurrent MSIM communication. In some cases, the measurement manager 245 at the RF connection manager 230 may schedule measurements and adjust one or more associated parameters based on the impact due to MSIM operation. For example, the UE 115-a may have four available receive chains shared by the first SIM 235 and the second SIM 240. Depending on the concurrency mode, the first SIM 235 and the second SIM 240 may share receive chains or use independent receive chains. Figure 3 An example of concurrent communication using multiple SIMs is shown, and Figure 4 Exemplary types of RF resource sharing among multiple SIMs are illustrated.

[0078] Figure 3 Examples of concurrent communication 300 supporting techniques for mobility control of dual-access control component devices, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure, are shown. In some examples, concurrent communication 300 may be provided by, as referenced... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The described aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or 200 are implemented, or are provided by, as referenced Figure 1 and Figure 2 The UE discussed is implemented in this way. In some examples, Figure 3 The illustrated operations can be performed by a UE that supports MSIM operations with concurrent communication on two networks (e.g., cellular network or WLAN), as described herein.

[0079] In this example, the MSIM UE may include a first SIM 305 and a second SIM 310. The first SIM 305 provides communication with a first network and associated first network entities (e.g., via network devices such as RU or TRP), and the second SIM 310 provides communication with a second network and associated second network entities (e.g., via network devices such as RU or TRP). The first SIM 305 may operate in an inactive or idle state, in which periodic communications 315 may be exchanged to provide reference signals, control information, measurement reports, etc. The first SIM 305 may also operate in an RRC connection state 320 for active communications (e.g., voice or data communications). Similarly, the second SIM 310 may operate in an inactive or idle state in which periodic communications 325 may be exchanged, and may also operate in an RRC connection state 330 for active communications (e.g., voice or data communications).

[0080] As discussed herein, at least a portion of the communication of the first SIM 305 can be concurrent with the communication of the second SIM 310. In this example, the first SIM 305 may be in RRC connected state 320 during a first time period 335 and a second time period 340, during which the second SIM 310 is in idle mode, and during which both the first SIM 305 and the second SIM 310 are active. In this example, the second SIM 310 may also be in RRC connected state 330 during a third time period 345, during which the first SIM 305 is in idle mode. Based on the concurrent communication of both the first SIM 305 and the second SIM 310, the UE can share RF resources based on UE capabilities and concurrency type, and Figure 4 Examples of feasible resource sharing are shown.

[0081] Figure 4 Examples of a shared RF component 400 supporting techniques for mobility control of a dual access control component device, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure, are shown. In some examples, the shared RF component 400 may implement as described in the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The aspects of the described wireless communication system 100 or 200 are implemented therein or by means of, or by means of, as referenced Figures 1 to 3 The UE discussed herein is used for implementation. In some examples, the shared RF component 400 may be used at a UE that supports MSIM operation with concurrent communication on two networks (e.g., cellular network and / or WLAN), as described herein.

[0082] In one example, the first exemplary MSIM concurrency type 405 may use a shared RF component, such as shared RF resource 410. Figure 4 In one illustrated example, the UE may have four receive chains associated with RF resources 410, which include RF resources 410-a through 410-d associated with each receive chain. When one SIM is active, as indicated at 415, the first SIM 425 can utilize all available RF resources 410. When two SIMs are active, as indicated at 420, the first SIM 425 can utilize the first RF resource 410-a and the second RF resource 410-b, and the second SIM 430 can utilize the third RF resource 410-c and the fourth RF resource 410-d. Therefore, when the first SIM 425 operates in an MSIM configuration with concurrent communication with the second SIM 430, the channel capacity for communication is reduced compared to when only the first SIM 425 is active (i.e., when the second SIM 430 is idle). However, conventional measurement reports provided by the first SIM 425 may only provide measurement parameters (e.g., RSRP values), and the network entity receiving such a measurement report may make mobility decisions based on the received measurement parameters under the assumption that all RF resources 410 are available to the UE. According to the various aspects discussed herein, the UE may adjust one or more reporting parameters based on concurrent MSIM communication, which may lead to network mobility decisions reflecting the channel capacity at the UE in the presence of concurrent MSIM communication.

[0083] Another exemplary MSIM concurrency type can use a separate RF component, such as a separate RF resource 450. Figure 4 In this example, the UE may again have six receive chains associated with RF resources 410, which include RF resources 410-a through 410-f associated with each receive chain, wherein each SIM has an independent RF resource 410. In this example, the first SIM 465 may use the first RF resources 410-a through the fourth RF resources 410-d, and the second SIM 470 may use the fifth RF resources 410-e and the sixth RF resources 410-f. If one SIM is active, as indicated at 455, the first SIM 420 may utilize RF resources 410-a through 401-d, while the remaining fifth RF resources 410-e and the sixth RF resources 410-f are idle. If both SIMs are active, as indicated at 460, the first SIM 465 may continue to utilize the first RF resources 405-a through the fourth RF resources 405-d, while the second SIM 470 may utilize the fifth RF resources 410-e and the sixth RF resources 410-f. This type of MSIM concurrency can provide more accurate mobility decisions, but in some cases, it may not fully utilize available RF resources 410. While these examples discuss receive resources, this technique is also applicable to transmit resources.

[0084] In addition, although Figure 4 Four RF resources 410 are illustrated, but the UE may have a different number of available RF chains. Additionally, in some cases, the number of RF chains available at the UE may vary (e.g., based on the operating band used by each SIM, based on thermal or RF exposure constraints, etc.). Table 1 illustrates the RF concurrency types for two SIMs used for uplink communication. It should be understood that this example is provided for discussion and illustration, and other examples may provide downlink concurrency types, including more SIMs, different numbers of RF chains, different sharing types, or any combination thereof. In this example, different exemplary sharing types of one to four transmit chains are illustrated.

[0085]

[0086] Table 1: RF Concurrency Types for Two SIMs - Uplink

[0087] As discussed in this paper, due to hardware resource sharing within MSIM devices, the performance of each SIM can be affected by that of another SIM, depending on the resource sharing mode and the presence of uplink or downlink communication. As indicated above, each SIM will follow network mobility control based on network configuration metrics such as RSRP, Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), etc. However, the network may not be aware of whether the UE is operating in an MSIM configuration with concurrent communication and may provide mobility control based on channel conditions and network load. Therefore, these mobility control metrics are insufficient in MSIM mobility control and can enhance SIM performance in such cases.

[0088] In one example, a first SIM on a first cell may use a first frequency band, and a second SIM on a second cell may use a second frequency band, where the first SIM and the second SIM have deep resource sharing (e.g., sharing RF resource 410). This resource sharing may result in a performance loss of d1% for the first SIM compared to no concurrency (e.g., single SIM (SSIM) operation), and the second SIM may have a performance loss of d2% compared to no concurrency (e.g., SSIM). Additionally, there may be a cell operating on a third frequency band adjacent to the second cell, and the third frequency band may use RF resources independent of the first SIM (e.g., independent reception resource 450), but may have a lower RSRP / SINR / RSRQ than the second cell which is the current service from the second SIM, and no measurement report may be triggered based on network configuration. However, if the second SIM can connect to the third cell, it may result in a loss of g1% (g1% < d1%) on the first SIM and a loss of g2% on the second SIM, which may be comparable to or greater / less than d2%. Therefore, for this MSIM device, if the loss of g2% on the second SIM is less than d2%, moving the second SIM to the third cell will provide enhanced performance. Additionally, if the loss of g2% on the second SIM is comparable to d2%, moving the second SIM to the third cell will still be a good choice because the performance of the first SIM is improved. Additionally, if the loss of g2% on the second SIM is greater than d2%, a better choice between staying on the second cell or moving to the third cell may be determined based on the in-progress service priority and the QoS of the services on each SIM. For example, if the first SIM has a higher priority and can still meet the second SIM QoS in the case of a g2% loss, moving the second SIM to the third cell may be preferred, but if the g2% loss on the second SIM is unacceptable, staying on the second cell may be preferred.

[0089] According to various aspects provided herein, the Shannon channel capacity of adjacent cells can be used for adjacent cell evaluation and measurement report ranking, which will consider the adjacent cell bandwidth and SNR channel conditions: , where C is the channel capacity, and BW is the bandwidth of the cell. The bandwidth may further consider the aggregated bandwidth based on the number of layers and the bandwidth of the component carriers based on history. SNR may be based only on adjacent cell measurements, or may also be adjusted based on history to reflect the potential component carrier SNR.

[0090] For MSIM devices, channel capacity can be determined as a capacity adjusted based on service type using MSIM concurrency loss. Assuming a first SIM on cell a and a second SIM on cell b, considering the second SIM in neighboring cell c, mobility control can be based on: .

[0091] The following will discuss this in more detail. scaling MSIM For data rate-sensitive services (e.g., FTP / TCP / HTTP), channel capacity can be adjusted based on throughput loss due to concurrency type between cell a and cell c. For latency-sensitive services that do not require large channel capacity, a concurrency pattern that provides reliable transmission can be advantageous and is mapped to a smaller loss in channel capacity.

[0092] In some respects, performance losses in each mode can be estimated based on uplink and downlink resource sharing patterns. The impact of resource sharing includes, for example, transmit and receive concurrency patterns (e.g., whether transmit chains are shared in TDD mode or whether the number of receive chains is reduced); RF device coexistence (e.g., a first SIM transmits, which may lead to reduced receive sensitivity on a second SIM, and coexistence measures can be used, which can also lead to performance differences); and RF device quality inhomogeneity (e.g., in some frequency bands, a SIM may only receive RF resources with relatively poor performance due to device differences). Other factors may also affect performance due to resource sharing.

[0093] The UE can calculate the potential capacity of neighboring cells (cell c) and adjust the measured RSRP or ranking accordingly to reflect MSIM concurrency preferences, which can lead to desired mobility control (referred to as MSIM mobility control). Such measurement report adjustments can be used for connected mode measurement control or idle cell selection / reselection when both SIMs are in connected mode (DSDA) or when any SIM is only in connected / idle mode. Table 2 illustrates exemplary mappings of MSIM concurrency types (numbered one through seven) to uplink concurrency operation, downlink concurrency operation, and associated uplink and downlink losses. Uplink concurrency operation can include full concurrency (FC), shared transmission (TX), no concurrency, FC with coexistence (e.g., interference cancellation), and FC with uneven transmission chains. Downlink concurrency operation can include no reception degradation, reception degradation, no concurrency, or no reception degradation with coexistence.

[0094]

[0095] Table 2: MSIM Concurrency Type Mapping

[0096] As indicated, such techniques can be applied to connectivity measurement control or idle cell selection / reselection when both SIMs are in connected mode (DSDA) or when any SIM is only in connected / idle mode. In some cases, techniques for measurement adjustment can be performed based on the UE's MSIM state (e.g., when the UE is in DSDA state), as illustrated in Table 3, where DSDA corresponds to dual SIM dual active and DSDS corresponds to dual SIM dual standby.

[0097] Table 3: Mapping from SIM State to MSIM State

[0098] In some aspects, one SIM (such as a lower-priority SIM) can be selected to apply MSIM mobility control with MSIM channel capacity considerations, while another SIM can follow mobility control without MSIM considerations. In some cases, the selected SIM for applying MSIM mobility control can be based on service priority or service QoS associated with the communication at the SIM. For example, because voice services have higher QoS targets, a SIM with active voice calls can be given a higher priority than another SIM with packet handover services (e.g., eMBB). In this example, the SIM with packet handover services can apply MSIM mobility control. In another example, both SIMs can be in voice call states, but one SIM is active and the other is on hold. In this example, the call-holding SIM can be selected to apply MSIM mobility control. In yet another example, one SIM can be in connected mode and the other in idle mode, and if the performance of the higher-priority SIM is affected by the presence of the idle SIM, the higher-priority SIM can be selected as the connected mode SIM with full-buffer throughput services. In another aspect, measurement scheduling can be adjusted based on MSIM concurrency. Figure 5 Examples of this aspect are illustrated in the text.

[0099] Figure 5 An example of a measurement object scheduling 500 supporting a technique for mobility control of a dual-access control component device, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure, is shown. In some examples, the measurement object scheduling 500 may be provided by, as referenced... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The described aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or 200 are implemented, or are provided by, as referenced Figures 1 to 4 The UE discussed is used for implementation. In some examples, the measurement object scheduling 500 can be used at a UE that supports MSIM operation with concurrent communication on two networks (e.g., cellular network and / or WLAN), as described herein.

[0100] exist Figure 5 In the example, during measurement scheduling, the measurement sequences of neighboring cells can be ordered based on the concurrency type at the SIM and the serving cell or frequency band of the other SIM. Because the measurement metrics of neighboring cells (e.g., SNR metric) are not available before measurement, the measurement scheduling sequence may not be based on accurate capacity calculations, but may rely on information such as bandwidth, MSIM traffic, concurrency type, or any combination thereof. In this example, the set of measurement objects 505 configured in the network may include first measurement objects 520-a to k-th measurement objects 520-k ordered sequentially from a to k. The order of measurement objects 520 can be adjusted based on bandwidth to provide bandwidth-based measurement object scheduling, where in this example, the third measurement object 520-c associated with higher bandwidth is ordered before the remaining measurement objects. Furthermore, the order of measurement objects 520 can be adjusted based on concurrency type to provide measurement object scheduling based on bandwidth and concurrency type 515, wherein the first measurement object 520-a associated with the first concurrency type (e.g., FC with independent Rx) is ordered before the second concurrency type (e.g., TxS with shared Rx) and the third concurrency type (e.g., TxS with independent Rx).

[0101] Such techniques can provide measurement scheduling where preferred cells are measured before other cells. For example, neighboring cells with larger bandwidths can provide higher channel capacity, and the UE can schedule neighboring cells with larger bandwidths (e.g., based on configured frequency bandwidth, the number of secondary component carriers (SCCs) or layers, favorable scheduling modes, or any combination thereof) to be measured before cells with lower bandwidths based on historical information associated with neighboring cells. Furthermore, for MSIM operation, different concurrency types can provide enhanced performance compared to other concurrency types (e.g., Rx independent and Tx full concurrency (type 1) provide the best performance), and associated measurement objects can be ranked according to the associated concurrency type. In some cases, the sequence of measurement objects can first be sorted from highest to lowest bandwidth, and then from most favorable concurrency type to least favorable concurrency type. Such techniques can provide measurement scheduling based on aggregation considerations of potential capacity, and cell measurement sequences can be ranked from high to low based on relatively static metrics such as bandwidth and concurrency type. In addition, the priority associated with the SIM can be used to determine the sequence of measurement objects (e.g., a concurrency type that provides higher receive throughput may be preferred for services associated with more lenient latency or QoS objectives).

[0102] For reference Figure 4 In some respects, the Shannon channel capacity of a SIM can be estimated. As discussed, the channel capacity can be estimated based on the following:

[0103] The MSIM concurrency impact is used to assess the channel capacity of neighboring cells. To further map the measurement object to the neighboring cell RSRP metric, a certain scaling can be applied using the following formula:

[0104] The RSRP of the best cell provides a comparison between neighboring cells and the currently serving cell, and the ranking offset provides a comparison between other neighboring cells.

[0105] in K It is a constant, and , It only considers bandwidth and SINR, and , It takes into account the concurrency impact of MSIM.

[0106] Furthermore, the scaling factor can be determined as:

[0107] Different uplink and downlink concurrency types can lead to varying performance losses based on service type. For example, receiver chain sharing can result in downlink throughput loss but has a smaller impact on uplink throughput. Therefore, in some cases, the impact of MSIM on channel capacity is calculated based on the service type of the SIM according to Table 3, determining the uplink and downlink concurrency effects.

[0108] Table 3: Business Types and Weights

[0109] The terms in the above formula This can be used to indicate the difference in MSIM concurrency between the serving cell and neighboring cells, which can be mapped to the neighboring cell RSRP adjustment of the measured RSRP, as follows:

In some examples, the measurement parameter adjustment 600 may be provided by, as referenced... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The described aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or 200 are implemented, or are provided by, as referenced Figures 1 to 5 The UE discussed is used for implementation. In some examples, the measurement parameter adjustment 600 can be used at a UE that supports MSIM operation with concurrent communication on two networks (e.g., cellular network and / or WLAN), as described herein.

[0115] exist Figure 6 In the example, adjustments are made for a higher-priority SIM that has a higher priority than another SIM (e.g., based on the SIM's service type or SIM's QoS target). In this example, the higher-priority SIM can perform measurements on serving cell 605 and obtain measurement parameters, such as... RSRP s 610. Higher priority SIMs can also measure neighboring cells 615 and obtain associated measurement parameters, such as RSRP N1 620-a to RSRP Nk 620-k. As indicated at 625, measurement parameters can be sorted based on RSRP to identify the order of associated measurement objects, such as... RSRP N_MO1 630-a to RSRP M_Moi 630-i. As indicated at 635, the measured objects can be further sorted based on the ranking offset to determine the RSRP measurement report order for the measured objects. Figure 6 In the example, the ranking offset can adjust the order to RSRP N_MO1 630-a RSRP N_MOi 630-i RSRP N_MO2630-b……。 In some cases, the ranking of the measured object can be: MO_Rank = RSRP of the best cell + Rank_Offset, where Rank_Offset = K G Log2[L PCell BW PCell Log2(SINR PCell +1)], as discussed above.

[0116] Figure 7 An example of a measurement parameter adjustment 700 supporting a technique for mobility control of a dual-access control component device, according to one or more aspects of this disclosure, is shown. In some examples, the measurement parameter adjustment 700 may be provided by, as referenced... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The described aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or 200 are implemented, or are provided by, as referenced Figures 1 to 6 The UE discussed is used for implementation. In some examples, the measurement parameter adjustment 700 can be used at UEs that support MSIM operation with concurrent communication on two networks (e.g., cellular network and / or WLAN), as described herein.

[0117] exist Figure 7 In the example, adjustments are made for a lower-priority SIM that has a lower priority than another SIM (e.g., based on the SIM's service type or SIM's QoS target). In this example, the lower-priority SIM can perform measurements on serving cell 705 and obtain measurement parameters, such as... RSRP s 710. Higher priority SIMs can also measure neighboring cells 715 and obtain associated measurement parameters, such as... RSRP N1 720-a to RSRP Nk 720-k. Lower priority SIMs may perform MSIM adjustments 725 based on adjustments 730-a to 730-k for the concurrency type of the associated neighboring cell 715 and serving cell 705. These adjustments provide adjusted RSRP 735, including RSRP N1,MSIM 740-a to RSRP Nk,MSIM 740-k. As indicated at 745, adjusted RSRP 735 can be sorted based on RSRP and MSIM adjustments to identify the order of associated measurement objects, such as RSRP N_MO1,MSIM 750-a to RSRP M_MOi,MSIM750-i. As indicated at 755, the measured objects can be further sorted based on the ranking offset to determine the RSRP measurement report order for the measured objects. Figure 7 In the example, the ranking offset can adjust the order to RSRP N_MO2 760-b RSRP N_MOi 760-i RSRP N_MO1 760-a……。 In some cases, the ranking for a measurement object can be: MO_Rank = RSRP adjusted by DSDA with the best cell + Rank_Offset, where Rank_Offset = K G Log2[L PCell BW PCell Log2(SINR PCell +1)]+ As discussed above.

[0118] Figure 8 An example of a process flow 800 supporting a technique for mobility control of a dual-access control component device according to one or more aspects of this disclosure is shown. In some cases, process flow 800, and in some examples, process flow 800 may be derived from, as referenced... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The described aspects of the wireless communication system 100 or 200 are implemented, or are provided by, as referenced Figures 1 to 7 The process flow 800 is implemented by the UE under discussion. For example, process flow 800 may include one or more UEs 115 (e.g., UE115-b) and one or more network entities 105 (e.g., 5G network entity 105-d and 6G network entity 105-e), which may be examples of corresponding devices as described herein. In the following description of process flow 800, operations between UE 115-b and network entity 105 may be sent in a different order than the example order shown, or operations performed by UE 115-b and network entity 105 may be performed in a different order or at different times. Some operations may also be omitted from process flow 800, and other operations may be added to process flow 800. In this example, UE 115-b may have 5G and 6G communication performed via 5G access control components (e.g., 5G SIM, 5G stack) and 6G access control components (e.g., 6G SIM, 6G stack).

[0119] At 805, UE 115-b can send dual access control update information, and 6G network entity 105-e can receive the dual access control update information. In some cases, the dual access control update information may include UE 115-b capabilities related to concurrent communication, preferences for communication, or any combination thereof. For example, UE 115-b may signal dual-stack capabilities and preferred priority ordering, where UE 115-b may perform measurements based on its capabilities, such as according to: .

[0120] At 810, 6G network entity 105-e can send mobility parameters and the priority of each RAT, and UE 115-b can receive mobility parameters and the priority of each RAT. In some cases, the network can also command UE 115-b to prioritize mobility based on one or more of application, location, network conditions, or any combination thereof.

[0121] At point 815, 5G network entity 105-d and 6G network entity 105-e can exchange coordination messages and communications with UE 115-b. In some cases, coordination messages can be used to set priority or mobility parameters on different RATs based on UE 115-b preferences.

[0122] At 820, 5G network entity 105-d can send mobility parameters and the priority of each RAT, and UE 115-b can receive mobility parameters and the priority of each RAT. These mobility parameters and priorities can update information provided by 6G network entity 105-e or provide it with additional information. For example, the network can also command UE 115-b to prioritize mobility based on one or more of application, location, network conditions, or any combination thereof. In some cases, dual access communication can cover any type of RAT, including any frequency range (FR1, FR2, FR3). Furthermore, concurrent communication can be performed via RATs that may or may not have time synchronization.

[0123] Figure 9A block diagram 900 illustrates a device 905 supporting techniques for mobility control of a dual access control component device according to one or more aspects of this disclosure. Device 905 may be an example of various aspects of a UE 115 as described herein. Device 905 may include a receiver 910, a transmitter 915, and a communication manager 920. Device 905, or one or more components of device 905 (e.g., receiver 910, transmitter 915, and communication manager 920), may include at least one processor that may be coupled to at least one memory to individually or jointly support or implement the described techniques. Each of these components may communicate with each other (e.g., via one or more buses).

[0124] Receiver 910 may provide components for receiving information (such as packets, user data, control information, or any combination thereof) associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, information channels related to technologies for mobility control of dual access control component devices). The information may be transmitted to other components of device 905. Receiver 910 may utilize a single antenna or a collection of antennas.

[0125] Transmitter 915 may provide components for transmitting signals generated by other components of device 905. For example, transmitter 915 may transmit information (such as packets, user data, control information, or any combination thereof) associated with various information channels (e.g., control channels, data channels, information channels related to techniques for mobility control of dual access control component devices). In some examples, transmitter 915 may be co-located with receiver 910 in a transceiver module. Transmitter 915 may utilize a single antenna or a collection of multiple antennas.

[0126] The communication manager 920, receiver 910, transmitter 915, or various combinations thereof, or various components thereof, may be examples of components for performing various aspects of the techniques for mobility control of a dual-access control component device as described herein. For example, the communication manager 920, receiver 910, transmitter 915, or various combinations thereof, or components thereof, may be able to perform one or more of the functions described herein.

[0127] In some examples, the communication manager 920, receiver 910, transmitter 915, or various combinations or components thereof may be implemented in hardware (e.g., in communication management circuitry). The hardware may include at least one of the following: a processor, digital signal processor (DSP), central processing unit (CPU), application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, microcontroller, discrete gate or transistor logic component, discrete hardware component, or any combination thereof, configured as or otherwise individually or collectively to support components for performing the functions described herein. In some examples, at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to said at least one processor may be configured to perform one or more of the functions described herein (e.g., instructions stored in at least one memory are executed individually or collectively by one or more processors).

[0128] Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 920, receiver 910, transmitter 915, or various combinations or components thereof may be implemented in code (e.g., as communication management software or firmware) executed by at least one processor.

A processor may also be implemented as a combination of computing devices (e.g., a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, multiple microprocessors, one or more microprocessors cooperating with a DSP core, or any other such configuration). Any function or operation described herein that can be performed by a processor may be performed by multiple processors capable of performing the described functions or operations individually or jointly.

When implemented using software executed by a processor, the functionality can be stored as one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium or transmitted using one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium. Other examples and specific implementations are within the scope of this disclosure and the appended claims. For example, due to the nature of software, the functionality described herein can be implemented using software executed by a processor, hardware, firmware, hardwiring, or any combination of these.

Furthermore, as used herein, the phrase "based on" should not be construed as a reference to a closed set of conditions. For example, an example step described as "based on condition A" could be based on both condition A and condition B without departing from the scope of this disclosure. In other words, as used herein, the phrase "based on" should be interpreted in the same manner as the phrase "at least partially based on".

[0235] As used herein, including in claims, the article “a” preceding a noun is open-ended and is understood to refer to “at least one” or “one or more” of those nouns. Therefore, the terms “a,” “at least one,” “one or more,” and “at least one of one or more” are interchangeable. For example, where a claim enumerates “components” performing one or more functions, each of the individual functions may be performed by a single component or by any combination of multiple components. Thus, the term “component” having a characteristic or performing a function may refer to “at least one of one or more components” having a particular characteristic or performing a particular function. Subsequent references to a component introduced with the article “a” using the terms “the” or “the” may refer to any or all of the one or more components. For example, a component introduced with the article “a” may be understood to mean “one or more components,” and subsequent reference to “the component” in a claim may be understood to be equivalent to referring to “at least one of the one or more components.” Similarly, subsequent references to a component introduced with the terms “the” or “the” as “one or more components” may refer to any or all of the one or more components. For example, reference to "the one or more components" in the subsequent claims can be understood as equivalent to reference to "at least one of the one or more components".

[0236] The term "determine" encompasses a variety of actions, and therefore, "determine" can include calculation, computation, processing, derivation, investigation, lookup (such as by searching in a table, database, or other data structure), identification, and similar actions. Furthermore, "determine" can include receiving (e.g., receiving information), accessing (e.g., accessing data stored in memory), etc. Moreover, "determine" can include parsing, obtaining, selecting, choosing, building, and other similar actions.

[0237] In the accompanying drawings, similar components or features may have the same reference numerals. Furthermore, various components of the same type can be distinguished by adding a dash after the reference numeral and a second reference numeral to differentiate them. If only the first reference numeral is used in the description, the description can be applied to any of the similar components having the same first reference numeral, regardless of the second or other subsequent reference numerals.

[0238] The description herein, illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an example configuration and does not represent all achievable examples or those within the scope of the claims. The term "example" as used herein means "serving as an example, instance, or illustration," not "preferred" or "advantageous over other examples." The detailed description includes specific details used to provide an understanding of the described techniques. However, these techniques can be practiced without these specific details. In some cases, known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form to avoid obscuring the concept of the described examples.

[0239] The description herein is provided to enable those skilled in the art to implement or use this disclosure. Various modifications to this disclosure will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other variations without departing from the scope of this disclosure.
