Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, integrated circuits and computer readable storage media for configuring time sensitive communications (TSC). The configuring of the TSC includes monitoring, by a user plane function (UPF), a source and destination of packets in a first protocol data unit (PDU) session of a first user equipment (UE) and in a second PDU session of a second UE, pairing a first device side TSN translator (DS-TT) port of the first UE with a second DS-TT port of the second UE when the first PDU session and the second PDU session are served by the same UPF, wherein the pairing is based on the monitoring of the first and second PDU sessions and when the first DS-TT and second DS-TT ports are paired, communicating the packets between the first UE and the second UE in a UE-UE communication without traversing the TSN.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods to support parallel access to services of multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs) and/or electronic SIMs (eSIMs) by a wireless device are disclosed. The wireless device is a single-radio wireless device that includes wireless circuitry that supports an active voice or video connection via a single radio access network of a cellular wireless network at a time. To send or receive data for a second SIM/eSIM, when an active voice or video connection for a first SIM/eSIM uses the wireless circuitry, the single-radio wireless device can i) establish parallel, linked protocol data unit (PDU) sessions for different SIMs, ii) multiplex traffic for different SIMs over a common radio connection with SIM information embedded in protocol headers for routing by network equipment, and/or iii) use an additional dedicated bearer using a first, active SIM for each data network name (DNN) over which to route for a second, suspended SIM.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to connect to a next generation nodeB (gNB) and further UE. The UE determines that a triggering event has occurred, wherein the triggering event is based on a set of proximity services (ProSe) path selection and switching (PSS) policies, transmits a setup or update request to a direct discovery name management function (DDNMF) of a 5G core network, receives UE-specific policies based on the set of ProSe PSS policies, and switches from one of a PC5 interface or a Uu interface to another one of the PC5 interface or the Uu interface.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for requesting and providing service of a network slice deemed essential by a user equipment (UE). The UE transmits a request message to the network indicating that essential services are requested, and identifying the essential network slice. Based on the information in the request message, the serving network communicates with one or more network nodes to determine whether the requested services can be provided. This information is packaged in a response message and transmitted to the UE. If the current network is capable of servicing the requested network slice, then the UE remains with the current network. If not, then the UE initiates a search for an alternative network (PLMN or SNPN) capable of supporting the requested services. A successful search causes the UE to register with the newly-found network, whereas an unsuccessful search causes the UE to re-register with the current network.

Abstract: Manners of controlling a data rate for a user equipment (UE) on a per slice basis by either a core network or a radio access network (RAN). In one exemplary manner, a request is received to establish a new Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session for a network slice for a user equipment (UE), a maximum session throughput value is received for the new PDU session, the maximum session throughput value for the new PDU session is added to an accumulated maximum session throughput value to determine an updated accumulated maximum session throughput value, the updated accumulated maximum session throughput value is compared to a maximum slice throughput value and, when the updated accumulated maximum session throughput value exceeds the maximum slice throughput value, an action is performed related to the new PDU session.
