Abstract: A first user equipment (UE) selects a second UE to act as a relay for the first UE. The first UE determines that multiple second UEs are available to operate as a relay for the first UE, wherein the determining is based on measurement data corresponding to communication interfaces between the first UE and each of the second UEs. The first UE selects a second UE from the multiple second UEs and transmits a signal to the second UE.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may operate on a dormant bandwidth part (BWP) and a non-dormant BWP of a carrier. The UE identifies a dormant bandwidth part (BWP) and a non-dormant BWP of a carrier corresponding to a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a secondary cell group (SCG) for dual connectivity (DC), determines that the dormant BWP is configured in an active state and performing one or more actions corresponding to the dormant BWP.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may attempt to access an edge data network. The UE generates a first credential based on a second credential that was generated for a procedure between the UE and a network. The UE then generates an identifier corresponding to the first credential and generates a message authentication code based on the first credential and a count, wherein the count is associated with an identifier of an edge network client running on the UE. The UE then transmits an application registration request, message to a server associated with an edge data network, the application registration request message including the count, the message authentication code, the identifier corresponding to the first credential, and a public land mobile network identifier (PLMN ID) of the network. The UE then receives an authentication accept message or an authentication reject message from the server associated with the edge data network.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) operates in a network. The UE receives, from the network, a paging area comprising a plurality of cells of the network. When the UE is in one of a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state or RRC idle state with respect to the network, the UE transmits a message to a first cell of the paging area based on the UE moving into a first coverage area of the first cell from a second coverage area of a second cell of the paging area. The UE then monitors the first cell for a page from the network.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for prioritizing data transmissions. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, in accordance with a determination that a first condition to enter a prioritized transmission phase is satisfied, a device prioritizes, based on a first priority rule, data transmissions from a terminal device to a network device and associated with a service. In accordance with a determination that a second condition to leave the prioritized transmission phase is satisfied, the device ceases prioritizing the data transmissions associated with the service.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using a relay user equipment (UE) to transport data of interest received from a first remote UE to a second remote UE on a UE to UE relay within a wireless communication system are discussed herein. These methods may be performed at Layer 2 of a protocol stack of the wireless communication system. Data packets sent on the UE to UE relay may include an adaptation header including routing information (e.g., Layer 2 addresses, a bearer-specific index, etc.) for the UE to UE relay. An adaptation layer may accordingly be provided within Layer 2 to decode these adaptation headers. In some cases, a per-bearer approach may be used to map between individual direct bearers of a hop by hop path configuration of the UE to UE relay. Embodiments eschewing the adaptation header and instead using logical channel identifiers (LCIDs) to make routing indications are also described.
