    Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses are described for machine-learning architectures for broadcast and multicast communications. A network entity processes broadcast or multicast communications using a deep neural network (DNN) to direct the one or more broadcast or multicast communications to a targeted group of user equipments (UEs) using the wireless communication system. The network entity receives feedback from at least one user equipment (UE) of the targeted group of UEs. The network entity determines a modification to the DNN based on the feedback. The network entity transmits an indication of the modification to the targeted group of UEs. The network entity updates the DNN with the modification to form a modified DNN. The network entity processes the broadcast or multicast communications using the modified DNN to direct the broadcast or multicast communications to the targeted group of UEs using the wireless communication system.

    Abstract: A system and method of network slicing for sidelink devices. The method includes establishing a sidelink connection with a second UE (104). The method includes receiving, from the second UE (104) via the sidelink connection (119), a first request for a network slice of a physical network (106). The method includes transmitting, responsive to receiving the first request for the network slice, a first message to the physical network over a first network slice between the first UE (102) and the physical network (106) to request the physical network to establish a second network slice communicatively coupling the second UE (104) to the physical network (106) via the sidelink connection (119).

    Abstract: A technique for utilizing network resources includes allocating a first set of network resources associated with a first network provider that operates a first core network and utilizes a first radio carrier (802) and a second set of network resources associated with a second network provider that operates a second core network and utilizes a second radio carrier (808). The technique also includes combining the first set of network resources and the second set of network resources to generate a combined set of network resources (810), and using the combined set of network resources to transmit data between a user device and the first core network and between the user device and the second core network, concurrently in a same communication session (812).

    Abstract: The techniques described in this disclosure enhance the reception of the information at a user equipment (UE) from an Active Coordination Set (ACS) of a wireless network system, where the ACS includes a set of base stations that jointly operate to communicate data between the system and the UE. The ACS allocates respective subsets of a plurality of time domain resources for use by corresponding ACS base stations in communicating with the UE, and provides, to the UE, an indication of the allocations. Based on the received allocation indication (502), the UE obtains data payload transmitted by the ACS (508) by tuning to various base stations in accordance with their respective time domain resource allocations (505). The ACS may redundantly transmit selected data payload and/or employ different encoding schemes to further enhance reception of information at the UE.

    Abstract: A base station (BS) supporting a protocol stack can implement a method for increasing network efficiency. The method includes transmitting (202), to at least a first user equipment (UE), a group identity for a group of two or more UEs that includes the first UE. The method further includes generating (302), by processing hardware of the base station and using the group identity, a data signal that includes aggregated downlink data. The aggregated downlink data includes (i) a UE-specific identity for at least two target UEs within the group and (ii) for each target UE of the at least two target UEs, a respective UE-specific identity, at an upper layer of the protocol stack, that indicates a location of the UE-specific downlink data intended for the target UE within the aggregated downlink data. The method further includes transmitting (306) the data signal to at least a portion of the group via a downlink data channel.

    Abstract: The systems, methods, and techniques described in this disclosure allow different wireless systems that operate in accordance with different Radio Access Technologies (RATs) to coexist within a same frequency domain with minimal (if any) inter-RAT interference. Specifically, the described techniques allocate a respective, mutually-exclusive portion of a plurality of Space-Time-Frequency (STF) resources for use in communicating in accordance with each different RAT. For example, mutually-exclusive portions of spatial domain resources, time domain resources, and/or frequency domain resources may be respectively allocated for exclusive use by different RATs. A centralized, third-party controller (120) may perform the allocations, or the allocations may be cooperatively arrived at between systems supporting different RATs, e.g., in a peer-to-peer manner. STF resource allocations may be static and/or dynamic over time, and STF resources may be uniquely identified by respective resource identifiers.

    Abstract: A base station (BS) communicatively connected to a group including a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE can implement a method. The method includes determining (316 or 416), by processing hardware of the base station, a channel state information (CSI) process configuration for the group. The method also includes transmitting (318) a control signal including the CSI process configuration to the group, and transmitting (336) a reference signal to the group in accordance with the CSI process configuration. The method further includes, in response to transmitting the reference signal to the group, receiving (354) from at least one UE of the group an indication of joint channel state of the group.
