Abstract: A UE indicates its capability for processing integrity-protected data for integrity protection, such as a first data throughput rate, and a gNB receives the capability of the UE for processing integrity-protected data. Processing integrity-protected data may include computing an integrity value for the integrity-protected data. The gNB determines, based on the capability of the UE, whether the UE satisfies a requirement of a second data throughput rate that is associated with a data radio bearer. The second data throughput rate is required for processing data communicated on the data radio bearer for integrity protection. The gNB establishes the data radio bearer with the UE when the capability of the UE satisfies the requirement of the second data throughput rate.

Abstract: A method and system for group handover is provided. In an embodiment, a method in a network component for group handover in a wireless network includes receiving, at the network component, a mobility command from a target base station. The method also includes processing, with the network component, the mobility command in a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer of a context for a remote user equipment (UE) to generate a PDCP Protocol Data Unit (PDU). The method also includes encapsulating the PDCP PDU as a field in a radio resource control (RRC) message to the relay UE.

Abstract: A method includes determining that a change is needed to a configuration of a user equipment (UE) centric cloud cell, where the determining is in accordance with measurement reports of beam-formed reference signals transmitted by mmWave TPs of a measurement set, and when the change comprises a change to a modulation coding scheme (MCS) level of a communications link associated with the UE centric cloud cell, adjusting the MCS level of the communications link. The method includes when the change comprises at least one of a change to a communications beam or a mmWave TP change, sending a change query requesting the at least one of the change to the communications beam or the mmWave TP change, and receiving from a central controller a confirmation message. The method includes updating a mmWave UE and second mmWave TPs of the UE centric cloud cell regarding the change.
