Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a user equipment (UE) configured to communicate in a 5G network and to perform authentication between an edge enabler client (EEC) of the UE and an edge configuration server (ECS) or an edge enabler server (EES) based on an architecture for authentication and key management for applications (AKMA). The techniques include performing primary authentication with the 5G network to obtain a KAUSF; generating a KAKMA and an A-KID; providing to the EEC the KAKMA and an EEC identifier (ID) for the EEC to generate a Kedge, the KAKMA and the EEC ID being used by the EEC to compute a MACEEC; and sending to the ECS or the EES an application registration request, the application registration request including the EEC ID, the MACEEC, and the A-KID.

Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of processors, systems, and methods for performing cellular sidelink communication using a sidelink control channel with frequency hopping and multi-beam diversity. A first wireless device may receive cellular sidelink control channel configuration information. The cellular sidelink control channel configuration information may indicate a cellular sidelink control channel configuration that includes one or more of frequency hopping or multi-beam diversity. The first wireless device may perform cellular sidelink communication with a second wireless device using the cellular sidelink control channel configuration that includes one or more of frequency hopping or multi-beam diversity.

Abstract: Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE). The method includes determining a mobility state of the UE and performing reference signal measurement in a relaxation mode within at least one cell. The mobility state indicates mobility capability of the UE, and, the at least one cell is determined based on the mobility state.

Abstract: Improved configured grants (CGs) may include the designation of a footprint corresponding to uplink transmission of a UE, with the footprint at least partially defined by the occupied transmission time, occupied transmission frequency, and transmission power. The footprint may be adjustable and/or selectable by the UE according to the current traffic needs of the UE and within limits set for the footprint via prior signaling from the base station to the UE. The UE may indicate the actual footprint parameters/values for the UE's uplink data transmissions by transmitting CG uplink control information (CG-UCI) inclusive of the actual footprint values to the base station. The UE may transmit the CG-UCI over resources configured according to additional parameter values received via the prior signaling from the base station. The UE may further transmit uplink data on resources configured according to the actual footprint values.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for application function (AF) key generation and AF key renewal. A user equipment device (UE) may communicate with an application function (AF) via a radio access network (RAN) using a first AF key and determine that the first AF key has expired. The UE may derive a second AF key based on at least an Architecture for Authentication and Key Management for Applications (AKMA) anchor key (KAKMA) and a counter parameter and communicate with the AF via the RAN using the second AF key. At least one of the UE, the AF, and/or an AKMA Anchor Function (AAnF) may be configured to monitor expiration of the first AF key based on an associated lifetime of the first AF key. The first and second AF keys may be derived using a key derivation function that includes at least one variable parameter.

Abstract: Reporting capabilities regarding Cross Carrier Scheduling (CCS) with different Sub-Carrier Spacing (SCS) may include generating a message to send to a base station. The message may comprise an indication of a user equipment's (UE's) capability for CCS with different SCS. Based on the UE's capability for CCS with different SCS, a number of unicast downlink control information (DCI) per physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion per span may be processed to determine scheduled resources for downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) signaling or channels. The DL and UL signaling or channels may be processed using the scheduled resources.
