Devices and methods for next generation technology indicators
First Claim
1. A communication device configured for dual connectivity supporting a first network access link with a primary network access node and a second network access link with a secondary network access node, the communication device comprising:
- an identifier configured to identify a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) corresponding to the first network access link and a second RAT corresponding to the second network access link;
a determiner configured to determine between a first RAT Radio Link Control (RLC) leg for the first RAT and a second RAT RLC leg for the second RAT, determine a first type of data on the second RAT RLC leg based on the determining between the first RAT RLC leg and the second RAT RLC leg, andidentify a service associated with the first type of data, wherein the identifying of the service is performed by obtaining an information from a packet used to communicate the first type of data; and
a reporter configured to report at least the second RAT based on the determined second RAT RLC leg.

Abstract
Devices and methods for enabling the reporting of technology indicators to a user operating on an LTE-NR Dual Connectivity mode. This may include establishing a first network access link with a primary network access node and a second network access link with a secondary network access node; identifying a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) corresponding to the first network access link and a second RAT corresponding to the second network access link; determining a first RAT Radio Link Control (RLC) leg for the first RAT and a second RAT RLC leg for the second RAT; and reporting at least the second RAT based on the determined second RAT RLC leg.

14. A method for a communication device to perform wireless communications, the method comprising:
-
establishing a first network access link with a primary network access node and a second network access link with a secondary network access node, wherein the first network access link and the second network access link are configured to concurrently and simultaneously communicate data with the primary network access node and the secondary network access node, respectively; identifying a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) corresponding to the first network access link and a second RAT corresponding to the second network access link; determining between a first RAT Radio Link Control (RLC) leg for the first RAT and a second RAT RLC leg for the second RAT; based on the determining between the first RAT RLC leg and the second RAT RLC leg, determining a first type of data on the second RAT RLC leg; identifying a service associated with the first type of data, wherein the identifying of the service is performed by obtaining an information from a packet used to communicate the first type of data; and reporting at least the second RAT based on the determined second RAT RLC leg and reporting the determined service. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor of a communication device, direct the communication device to:
-
establish a first network access link with a primary network access node and a second network access link with a secondary network access node; identify a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) corresponding to the first network access link and a second RAT corresponding to the second network access link; determining between a first RAT Radio Link Control (RLC) leg for the first RAT and a second RAT RLC leg for the second RAT; based on the determining between the first RAT RLC leg and the second RAT RLC leg, determining a first type of data on the second RAT RLC leg; identifying a service associated with the first type of data, wherein the identifying of the service is performed by obtaining an information from a packet used to communicate the first type of data; and reporting at least the second RAT based on the determined second RAT RLC leg and reporting the determined service. - View Dependent Claims (19)
