Abstract:
An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to encode a unique UE identifier to be transmitted to an Access and Mobility Function (AMF) of a Fifth Generation (5G) network, wherein the unique identifier identifies UE capabilities to be stored in a UE capabilities database. An apparatus of Access and Mobility Function (AMF) of a Fifth Generation (5G) network comprises one or more processors to receive a user equipment (UE) Capabilities update from a remote server to update a UE capability database that stores UE capability information corresponding to one or more UEs identified with a unique identifier, and to process the UE Capabilities update via one or more Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
Abstract:
Systems, devices, and configurations to implement trusted connections within wireless networks and associated devices and systems are generally disclosed herein. In some examples, a wireless local area network (WLAN) may be attached to a 3GPP evolved packet core (EPC) as a trusted access network, without use of an evolved packet data gateway (ePDG) and overhead from related tunneling and encryption. Information to create the trusted attachment between a mobile device and a WLAN may be exchanged using Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) extensions defined by IEEE standard 802.11u-2011, or using other protocols or standards such as DHCP or EAP. A trusted WLAN container with defined data structure fields may be transferred in the ANQP elements to exchange information used in the establishment and operation of the trusted attachment.
Abstract:
Embodiments of user equipment (UE) and base stations (eNodeB) and method for reducing power consumption in UE in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, characteristics of UE including mobility, communication data load, and communication type are used by base stations, MME or other controlling entities to configure power saving features of the UE. Power saving features can include a new Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer state where circuitry is powered off for extended periods of time, extended Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycles, reduced workloads in existing RRC, EPC Connection Management (ECM) and/or EPS Mobility Management (EMM) states or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for initiating discontinuous reception (DRX) operation in a user equipment (UE) are disclosed herein. Applications running on the UE are monitored by the UE to identify one or more inactivity trigger events associated with the application(s). The UE includes an application-radio cross layer to process the application information, including the inactivity trigger event, for use by a radio layer. The radio layer of the UE determines initiation of the DRX operation in accordance with the application information, including the inactivity trigger event, provided by the application-radio cross layer and device characteristics information.
Abstract:
Technology for setting up a Device to Device (D2D) communication channel between mobile wireless devices is disclosed. The technology includes identifying a first user equipment and a second user equipment located within a proximity; receiving network assisted proximity discovery information at one of the first UE and the second UE from an evolved packet core (EPC) operating on a third generation partnership practice (3GPP) wireless wide area network (WWAN); and setting up a device to device (D2D) communication between the first UE and the second UE based on the network assisted proximity discovery information received from the EPC.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein provide techniques related to a NEF. An example technique includes identifying, from an AF that implements a ML model, a request related to reservation of resources for a plurality of AF sessions, wherein the plurality of AF sessions relate to respective UEs of a plurality of UEs, and wherein the request includes an indication of addresses of respective UEs of the plurality of UEs and a QoS parameter; transmitting, to a BSF of the cellular network, a discovery request related to discovery of respective PCFs that are serving the respective UEs of the plurality of UEs; identifying, based on the discovery request, a discovery response that includes indications of the PCFs; identifying, based on the indications of the PCFs and the QoS parameter, a result related to the reservation of resources; and transmitting, to the AF, an indication of the result. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
User equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry. To configure the UE for enhanced coverage (EC) in a 5G network, the processing circuitry is to encode N1 configuration request signaling for transmission to an Access and Mobility Function (AMF) of the 5G network. The N1 configuration request signaling includes an EC support capability indication of whether the UE supports restriction for EC. An N1 configuration response signaling is decoded from the AMF, the N1 configuration response signaling including EC restriction information. The EC restriction information is determined based on the EC support capability indication and subscription information of the UE. An enhanced coverage restriction determination is performed using the EC restriction information. A cell is selected from a plurality of available cells within the 5G network based on the enhanced coverage restriction determination.
