Abstract: Manners of controlling a data rate for a user equipment (UE) on a per slice basis by either a core network or a radio access network (RAN). In one exemplary manner, a request is received to establish a new Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session for a network slice for a user equipment (UE), a maximum session throughput value is received for the new PDU session, the maximum session throughput value for the new PDU session is added to an accumulated maximum session throughput value to determine an updated accumulated maximum session throughput value, the updated accumulated maximum session throughput value is compared to a maximum slice throughput value and, when the updated accumulated maximum session throughput value exceeds the maximum slice throughput value, an action is performed related to the new PDU session.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for supporting multiple Quality of Service flows for a service data flow in a wireless communication system. The service data flow may include multiple categories of data with different Quality of Service parameters. Separate Quality of Service flows may be established for each of the categories of data with different Quality of Service parameters. A cellular network and a wireless device communicating data for the service data flow may apply packet detection rules or packet filters to determine on which Quality of Service Flow to communicate data packets of the service data flow, and may communicate the data packets accordingly.

Abstract: An accessory device may dynamically determine to transition a cellular connection between mobile-initiated communication only (MICO) mode and non-MICO mode based on a variety of factors. The accessory device may be configured to communicate through a non-cellular network in addition to the cellular network. The accessory device may transition from MICO to non-MICO mode based on one or more of: loss of the non-cellular connection; location of the accessory device; a call, data, or SMS request failure over the non-cellular network; or other factors.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing network slice quota management. A network slice quota management function may store capacity information for one or more network slices. The network slice quota management function may receive a request for an indication of whether a network slice has additional capacity. The network slice quota management function may provide an indication of whether the network slice has additional capacity in response to the request. The capacity information may relate to the capacity of the network slice with respect to the number of wireless devices registered for the network slice, or to the capacity of the network slice with respect to the number of packet sessions established with the network slice, or both, among various possibilities.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) indicates to a network the types of SMS messages that the UE does not support. The network receives an indication from the UE corresponding to one or more types of short message service (SMS) messages that are supported by the UE, receives a SMS that is intended to be delivered to the UE, determines whether to forward the SMS message to the UE based on the indication received from the UE, when the SMS message is a type of SMS message supported by the UE, forwards the SMS message to the UE and, when the SMS message is not a type of SMS message supported by the UE, discards the SMS message.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a first authentication request in response to a first triggering request from the UE to a mobility management node of a first Tracking Area (TA) in which the UE is located. In some embodiments, the UE may prepare and store an authentication response according to the first authentication request. In response to determining that the UE has moved from the first TA to a second TA, the UE may abort a sending of the authentication response, and may send the stored authentication response according to the first authentication request to the mobility management node of the second TA in response to the receipt of the second authentication request and in further response to a determination that a given parameter of each of the first and second authentication requests are the same.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods to support IP flow mobility (IFOM) via multiple wireless accesses in a wireless device are disclosed. The wireless device initiates network-based IFOM (NB-IFOM) to establish and manage IP flows. Support for NB-IFOM is negotiated during initial attach procedures to either or both wireless accesses and by using packet data network (PDN) connectivity procedures. The wireless device sends routing rules including priorities to apply to both existing and future IP flows or to future IP flows only. The wireless device requests to move IP flows from a source access to a target access. When a new wireless access is added to an existing PDN connection, an identical IP address for the wireless device is allocated as used for the existing PDN connection. The network establishes a GPRS tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel for the new wireless access while maintaining a previously established GTP tunnel for the existing wireless access.

Abstract: A technique for determining that a wireless device supports using multiple subscriber identity module (SIM) cards to establish multiple connections to wireless networks, generating a multi-SIM capability message, transmitting the multi-SIM capability message to a first wireless network; and receiving a registration accept signal in response to the multi-SIM capability message, wherein the registration accept signal indicates a first set of features supported by the first wireless network. In another aspect, a technique for a wireless system to receive, via a network interface, a multiple subscriber identity module (multi-SIM) capability message from a wireless device connected to a first wireless network; generate a registration accept signal in response to receiving the multi-SIM capability message, wherein the registration accept signal indicates a first set of features supported by the first wireless network; and send, via the network interface, the registration accept signal to the wireless device.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for a user equipment (UE) to perform public land mobile network (PLMN) selection with a non-terrestrial network (NTN). A UE performs a non-access stratum (NAS) procedure with a public land mobile network (PLMN) of an NTN. The UE receives a NAS message from the PLMN, and the NAS message indicates that the UE is not allowed to access a core network of the NTN. The NAS message may indicate that the UE is not allowed to access the core network of the NTN because a location of the UE is unknown to the NTN, that access to the NTN is not allowed in a country in which the UE is located, or that a location of the UE is not within a country associated with the NTN. The UE modifies its PLMN search procedure responsive to receiving the NAS message.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods to support parallel access to services of multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs) and/or electronic SIMs (eSIMs) by a wireless device are disclosed. The wireless device is a single-radio wireless device that includes wireless circuitry that supports an active voice or video connection via a single radio access network of a cellular wireless network at a time. To send or receive data for a second SIM/eSIM, when an active voice or video connection for a first SIM/eSIM uses the wireless circuitry, the single-radio wireless device can i) establish parallel, linked protocol data unit (PDU) sessions for different SIMs, ii) multiplex traffic for different SIMs over a common radio connection with SIM information embedded in protocol headers for routing by network equipment, and/or iii) use an additional dedicated bearer using a first, active SIM for each data network name (DNN) over which to route for a second, suspended SIM.
