Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems are described for improved edge network access for a UE. According to some aspects, a UE may receive a first Data Network Name (DNN) from an application and determine, based on a Data Network Name (DNN) Replacement Rule, the first DNN is associated with a second Data Network Name (DNN), where the first DNN and the second DNN are different. The UE may determine, based on the DNN Replacement Rule, to associate traffic from the application with a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Session, where the PDU Session may be used to send data from the application to a network and the PDU Session is associated with the second DNN.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems are described for assistance information from the UE to network side, e.g., enabling faster decision-making for secondary cell group deactivation in 3GPP MR DC/CA deployments. According to some aspects, instructions for UE behavior upon MR DC/CA secondary cell group activation are provided in a secondary cell group deactivation message to reduce delays for a UE triggered secondary group activation. RRC signaling ambiguities for conditional PSCell addition/ change may be resolved by a synchronization message between a main node and a secondary node to avoid delays and signaling errors.

Abstract: The present application at least describes an apparatus including a non-transitory memory including instructions stored thereon and a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory, configured to execute as set of instructions. The set of instructions include determining a preference to operate in a reduced capacity (REDCAP) mode in a network. The set of instructions also include transmitting, via a radio resource control (RRC) message to a registration location on the network, a registration request to operate in the REDCAP mode. The registration request prompts a selection of an access and mobility function (AMF) configured to authorize the apparatus to operate in the REDCAP mode and communicate with the apparatus. The registration request prompts a session management function (SMF) to determine characteristics of a protocol data unit (PDU) session of the apparatus. The set of instructions also include receiving, from the network, a response to the registration request based on the AMF authorization and SMF determination.

Abstract: Wireless User Equipment, UE, and network apparatuses may be adapted to facilitate continuity of Multicast/Broadcast Service, MBS, across cells. A UE in idle/inactive mode, for example, may receive MBS assistance information comprising scheduling information defining MB S reception windows and perform a cell re selection evaluation process accordingly. An UE in connected mode may conduct and report MB S quality measurements and receive an RRC reconfiguration comprising an MB S configuration for a target cell, determine that MBS transmission progress differs between the source cell and the target cell, and recover lost MBS PDUs or delete duplicate MBS PDUs accordingly. A network apparatus, such as a gNB for example, may map a GPRS Tunneling Protocol Sequence Number of an MBS PDU, to a Packet Data Convergence Protocol Sequence Number in a target cell, and determine an MB S configuration for use by a UE requesting a handover accordingly.

Abstract: A user equipment “UE” may be configured with a client application for data collection, contact information pertaining to a network Application Function “AF,” and data collection information such as parameters, whereby the UE collects data that is specific to the UE and sends it to the AF over a user plane. The data collection parameters may include one or more of a type of data the UE should collect, data associated with one or more analytics IDs and application IDs, a data collection frequency, and a reporting frequency. The data collection information may include a processing requirement, an expiration time for the collected data, a timestamp of the data collection, and/or a correlation identifier that associates the collected data with the UE.

Abstract: A wireless User Equipment (UE) may indicate to a base station (gNB) that the UE is capable of simultaneously using sidelink resource allocations Mode 1, with scheduling by the gNB, and sidelink resource allocation Mode 2 with scheduling by the UE, and then receive from the gNB, a Medium Access Control (MAC) entity configuration comprising information for Mode 1 and for Mode 2, and Sidelink Radio Bearer (SERB) configurations which may include the mode (Mode 1 or Mode 2) for the SERB. The UE may determine grants for both modes. In case of a grant collision or overlap, the UE may use logical channel priority to select one grant over the other. The UE may change from one mode to another. The MAC entity may take actions related to feedback, BSR reporting, and SR reporting, to manage the transitions.

Abstract: The exchange of resource allocation assistance information between a requester User Equipment (UE) and an assistant UE allows the requester to make better resource allocation decisions. The assistance information may include a blacklist, a whitelist, resource allocation information, a candidate resource set, and measurement information, for example. Both UEs may have an assistance configuration to assist in the exchange of resource allocation assistance information, that may be obtained from a third apparatus, such as a base station. The configuration may include information related to when to trigger assistance, identities of UEs, and types of assistance information, for example. The requester may, based on the assistance information received, modify a candidate resource set at a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. The requester may, at the MAC layer, determine a configured sidelink grant for a selected destination using assistance information targeting this destination.

Abstract: Network Slice Selection Assistance information (NSSA1) may be signaled between U ser Equipment (UE) and a network. NSSA1 sent from the network to the UE may include, for example. Operating Frequency Band (OFB) for each Single NSSAI(S-NSSA1) in the NSSAI, as well as a Radio Access Technology (RAT) Frequency Selection Priority (RFSP) index, which the network configures as a part of UE access and mobility; subscription, during a UE registration procedure. RAT restrictions may be enhanced to indicate to the UE that certain slices are not accessible via certain RATs. A UE may be provided by the network with an alternative NSSAI and corresponding OFBs for each S-NSSAI thereby indicating to the UE that these S-NSSAI would have been allowed had they been requested. A UE may be able to choose an alternative Allowed NSSAI and send a registration update request to the network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices may assist in channelization and LBT for NR unlicensed band. This may apply to NR-U from 52.6 GHz to 71 GHz and above. In an example, a method may include configuring listen before talk (LBT) bandwidth (BW) and channel occupation time (COT) sharing schemes when co-exist other radio access technology's (RAT'S) channel BW for NR-U from 52.6 to 71 GHz and above; and when LBT or a resource block (RB) set BW is set to equal to each component carrier (CC) BW Nor transmission BW, performing LBT for each CC, primary cell (PCell), primary secondary cell (PSCell), or a scheduling secondary cell (SCell) can co-schedule LBT results for other CC.
