Abstract: methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for compensating for cell identification delays that are beyond the control of the ue, in connection with standards-specified cell identification timing limits. in frequency bands including both beam sweeping and listen-before-talk (lbt) requirements, a cell identification procedure may be significantly delayed due to lbt failure at the base station and/or beam misalignment between the base station and the ue. therefore, ue cell identification timing constraints may be dynamically adjusted to compensate for such delays. for example, the time window allowed for cell identification of a neighbor cell may be dynamically increased in response to determining that one or more ssbs were not available at the ue during an smtc occasion. in some scenarios, if the timing increase exceeds a predetermined threshold, the ue may restart the cell identification procedure, e.g., on the same frequency layer or on a different frequency layer.

Abstract: a user equipment device may include a radio that conveys wireless data with one or more base stations using a set of component carriers (ccs) that are concurrently-active under a carrier aggregation scheme or a dual connectivity scheme. when in a thermally-constrained state, a resource manager on the radio may intelligently select a cc to drop from use in conveying the wireless data. the resource manager may select the cc to drop based on the bandwidths, data rates, error rates, and/or activation/deactivation rates of the set of ccs, a power budget assigned to the radio, and/or information about the demodulation and decoding clusters in a modem of the radio. selecting the cc to drop in this way may provide greater power and temperature reduction at the radio and/or less wireless performance reduction than blindly dropping the most recently added cc from use in conveying the wireless data.
