Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for measurement of reference signals by an aerial user equipment (UE), and reporting of the measurements to a serving base station. An aerial UE may initiate one or more measurements based on one or more height thresholds, and may transmit measurement reports that provide an indication of height along with measured parameters. An aerial UE may also provide an indication of a number of other aerial UEs or other aerial vehicles that are detected within a vicinity of the aerial UE, Reports of measurements (e.g., reference signal received power (RSRP) measurements) by multiple UEs for multiple different locations and heights may be used to determine coverage maps and/or drone density maps for multiple different heights or altitudes.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may transmit a flight path information request that indicates a differential flight path reporting configuration that is associated with user equipment (UE) flight path information associated with a UE. The network node may receive the UE flight path information, the UE flight path information being based at least in part on the differential flight path reporting configuration. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A multicast architecture may support flexible change between unicast and multicast operations and may support additional traffic types (e.g., Internet Protocol and Ethernet traffic). For example, the multicast architecture may include transmitting data over a shared multicast radio bearer (MRB) and/or specific data radio bearers (DRBs), a multicast user plane function (UPF) for supplying the multicast data to a base station, multicast data from different radio access networks (RANs), protecting the multicast data through creating a group key, ciphering the multicast data sent on the MRB using the group key, and transitioning the multicast data from a source RAN to a target RAN.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network, a procedure rejection message for non-cellular access at a non-access stratum (NAS) layer, and provide a first congestion indication from the NAS layer to lower layers for non-cellular access based at least in part on the receiving the procedure rejection message. The UE may refrain, at the lower layers, from initiating establishment of a signaling connection based at least in part on the first congestion indication. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure relate to a method of operating a user equipment for wireless communication with a network. In some aspects, the UE establishes a connection to a network and obtains a control plane message from the network. The control plane message may include one or more types of policy information if a size of the one or more types of policy information is less than or equal to a maximum payload size of the control plane message, or information indicating at least a network location from where the one or more types of policy information may be obtained by the UE over a user plane if the size of the one or more types of policy information is greater than the maximum payload size of the control plane message, or a combination thereof. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
A gateway device detects a trigger associated with a device and, in response, identifies an application service associated with the device, obtains a traffic network policy associated with the application service, and obtains a network access token based on the traffic network policy. The network access token facilitates validating and/or mapping a downlink data packet obtained at the gateway device in user-plane traffic that is destined for the device. The network access token is sent to an entity in control-plane signaling. Subsequently, the gateway device obtains a downlink data packet including the network access token. The gateway device verifies the network access token and/or maps the downlink data packet to the device using data obtained from the network access token. The network access token may be removed from the downlink data packet before the downlink data packet is sent to the device according to the mapping.

Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus relating to local area data network connectivity. In certain aspects, a method for use by a network device includes determining a set of available local area data networks (LADNs) for a user equipment (UE) based on a subscription of the UE to a set of data network names (DNNs) corresponding to the set of available LADNs and sending the UE information indicative of the set of available LADNs and a location of availability corresponding to each of the LADNs of the set of available LADNs.
Abstract:
Communication using a radio access network (RAN) including a primary cell for license spectrum access and a secondary cell for unlicensed spectrum access may be improved to provide optimal performance while considering characteristics of the primary cell and the secondary cell. The apparatus may be a core network entity. The core network entity is connected to a RAN including a primary cell utilizing a licensed spectrum and a secondary cell utilizing an unlicensed spectrum. The core network entity determines an authorization for data traffic to be offloaded to the secondary cell based on data traffic characteristics. The core network transmits an indication of the authorization to the RAN.
Abstract:
Aspects described herein relate to obtaining provisioned credentials for wireless network services. It can be determined that credentials have not been configured for accessing a network. In this case, a provisioning server supported by the network for obtaining credentials is selected, and a request to establish a connection with the network is transmitted. The transmitted request can indicate the provisioning server.
