Abstract: Systems and methods of handover in an information-centric network are described. The ICN-CF receives an update request from an ICN ICN-AMF indicating handover of a UE from a source NG-RAN to a target NG-RAN. The ICN-CF transmits, to an ICN router, an update request to update a PIT and/or FIB table to enable data communications with the UE after handover. The request includes the UE and target NG-RAN, and if the source and target ICN-PoA are different, the source and target ICN-PoA and the ICN-GW.

Abstract: A method for network coding at a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer by a next-generation NodeB (gNB) includes selecting a coding coefficient from a location in a Vandermonde matrix. The method includes setting an identifier value identifying the location in the Vandermonde matrix corresponding to the selected coding coefficient. The method includes encoding one or more packets each comprising a PDCP data unit. The encoding of at least one of the one or more packets includes applying a function to data in the packet, the function including the coding coefficient. The method includes generating a message comprising the at least one encoded packet. The method includes transmitting the message to a user equipment (UE).

Abstract: Technology for an Information Centric Networking gateway (ICN-GW) operable to modify an ICN message received from a user equipment (UE) in a Fifth Generation (5G) cellular network is disclosed. The ICN-GW can decode the ICN message received from the UE via a Next Generation NodeB (gNB) and an ICN point of attachment (ICN-PoA). The ICN-GW can modify the ICN message to produce a modified ICN message. The ICN-GW can encode the modified ICN message to route the modified ICN message to a data network.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for dual connectivity for device to vehicle or vehicle to vehicle communication in a Wireless Network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, processing circuitry may determine a quality of service (QoS) level for data to be transmitted over a first radio access technology (RAT) connection and determine a QoS indicator from the QoS level, the QoS indicator identifying a dual connectivity backup transmission, the dual connectivity backup transmission including a hot, warm, or cold backup. In some embodiments, transceiver circuitry may attempt to transmit the data using a first transmission mode, the first transmission mode using the first RAT connection and the data including the QoS indicator and retransmit, in response to the attempt failing, the data using a second transmission mode.

Abstract: An approach is described for a user equipment (UE) to provide contention-based beam failure operation in a second cell (SCell), where the UE includes processor circuitry and radio front end circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to encode a first message including a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ), wherein the BFRQ is indicative of a beam failure, and to decode a second message from a gNB, wherein the second message includes a beam failure recovery (BFR) response responsive to the BFRQ. The processor circuitry is further configured to encode a third message including a UE identification (ID) in response to decoding the second message, and to decode a fourth message from the gNB, wherein the fourth message includes collision handling for beam failure recovery by the UE. The radio front end circuitry is coupled to the processor circuitry, and the radio front end circuitry is configured to transmit the first message and the third message to the gNB, and to receive the second message and the fourth message from the gNB.

Abstract: Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB), User Equipment (UE) and methods for directional communication are generally described herein. The eNB may transmit, during a downlink sub-frame, a first beam refinement training signal and an uplink scheduling block to a first UE according to a downlink transmission direction from the eNB to the first UE. The eNB 104 may further transmit, during the downlink sub-frame, a second beam refinement training signal and a downlink scheduling block to a second UE according to a downlink transmission direction from the eNB to the second UE. The uplink scheduling block may indicate scheduled uplink resources for a scheduled uplink transmission by the first UE and the downlink scheduling block may indicate scheduled downlink resources for a scheduled downlink transmission to the second UE.

Abstract: Embodiments of a network User Equipment (nUE), wearable User Equipment (wUE), and methods for sidelink communication are generally described herein. The nUE may transmit a control channel that allocates a subframe as either a downlink subframe or an uplink subframe for a sidelink communication between the nUE and a wearable User Equipment (wUE). When the control channel allocates the subframe as a downlink subframe, the nUE may contend for access to channel resources. The contention may include transmission of a transmitter resources acquisition and sounding (TAS) channel in a physical resource block (PRB) and an attempted detection of a receiver resources acquisition and sounding (RAS) channel from the wUE in the PRB. When the control channel allocates the subframe as an uplink subframe, the wUE may contend for access to the channel resources.
