Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method includes receiving a network access control broadcast including access control criteria associated with connecting to a base station, determining an access category associated with the UE and an access identity of the UE associated with the access category, where the access category of the UE is specific to a reduced capability classification of the UE, and selectively performing a random access procedure to connect to the base station in accordance with the access control criteria, the access identity of the UE, and the access category associated with the UE.
Claims26
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
- and
- one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the UE to:
- receive a network access control broadcast comprising access control criteria associated with connecting to a network device and comprising a set of measurement thresholds associated with one or more synchronization signal blocks;
- determine an access category associated with the UE and an access identity of the UE associated with the access category, wherein the access category of the UE is specific to a reduced capability classification of the UE;
- and
- selectively perform a random access procedure to connect to the network device based at least in part on the set of measurement thresholds in accordance with the access control criteria, the access identity of the UE, and the access category associated with the UE.
A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving a network access control broadcast comprising access control criteria associated with connecting to a network device and comprising a set of measurement thresholds associated with one or more synchronization signal blocks;
- determining an access category associated with the UE and an access identity of the UE associated with the access category, wherein the access category of the UE is specific to a reduced capability classification of the UE;
- and
- selectively performing a random access procedure to connect to the network device based at least in part on the set of measurement thresholds in accordance with the access control criteria, the access identity of the UE, and the access category associated with the UE.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for receiving a network access control broadcast comprising access control criteria associated with connecting to a network device and comprising a set of measurement thresholds associated with one or more synchronization signal blocks;
- means for determining an access category associated with the UE and an access identity associated with the access category, wherein the access category of the UE is specific to a reduced capability classification of the UE;
- and
- means for selectively performing a random access procedure to connect to the network device based at least in part on the set of measurement thresholds in accordance with the access control criteria, the access identity of the UE, and the access category associated with the UE.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:
- receive a network access control broadcast comprising access control criteria associated with connecting to a network device and comprising a set of measurement thresholds associated with one or more synchronization signal blocks;
- determine an access category associated with the UE and an access identity associated with the access category, wherein the access category of the UE is specific to a reduced capability classification of the UE;
- and
- selectively perform a random access procedure to connect to the network device based at least in part on the set of measurement thresholds in accordance with the access control criteria, the access identity of the UE, and the access category associated with the UE.
