20200236554 | INFORMATION PROTECTION TO DETECT FAKE BASE STATIONS - Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, devices may use information protection to detect fake base stations.

The baseband processing circuit may be configured to identify one or more multicast control data notification messages available for reception during a first multicast control data window, determine whether any of the one or more multicast control data notification messages are not received during the first multicast control data window, and trigger receiving of multicast control data of a second multicast control data window when a predefined quantity of the one or more multicast control data notification messages are not received during the first multicast control data window. | 2020-07-23 |
20200236653 | TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION OF BROADCAST INFORMATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - Systems and methods for transmitting and receiving other broadcast information, OBI, are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of wireless communication device for a wireless communication system comprises receiving and decoding a transmission unit in which OBI is collocated with at least a portion of a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB). The SSB comprises a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH). The OBI comprises paging messages, remaining minimum system information (RMSI), and/or random access response (RAR) messages. In some embodiments, the transmission unit is a transmission unit having a duration that is two or more symbols but less than a duration of a full slot. In this manner, resources of the wireless communication system are efficiently utilized, which results in higher link and system capacity as well as lower network power consumption from increased stand-by times. | 2020-07-23 |
