Abstract: A network may authenticate a user equipment (UE) to access an edge data network. The network generates a first credential based on a second credential, the second credential generated for a procedure between the UE and a cellular network corresponding to the network component, receives an identifier associated with the first credential from a further network component in response to the UE transmitting an application registration request to a server associated with an edge data network and retrieves the first credential based on the identifier. The network also receives a multi-access edge computing (MEC) authorization parameter, verifies the MEC authorization parameter and transmits an authentication verification response to a second network component.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive cell information including related frequency and network slice information. The UE receives network slice based dedicated priority information for the UE from a currently camped cell, selects a frequency band for camping based on a configured network slice and the network slice based dedicated priority information and establishes a protocol data unit (PDU) session with the configured network slice when camped on the frequency band.

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.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may be configured with information to perform conditional handovers or addition/change of a primary secondary cell (PSCell). The UE receives a first radio resource control (RRC) configuration message from the source cell for conditional handover to the at least one target cell, the first RRC configuration message including conditional handover execution conditions, an RRC configuration and a target cell ID for each one of a list of target cells, performs measurements on the target cells to determine whether any one of the target cells fulfills its corresponding conditional handover execution conditions and, when a first target cell from the list of target cells fulfills its corresponding conditional handover execution conditions, initiates a handover to the first target cell.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is associated with a cellular network, the UE and the cellular network are configured with a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) functionality, the DRX functionality including a cycle with a plurality of onDurations. The UE receives an indication of at least one parameter the cellular network is to utilize for the transmission of an emergency message, generates a monitoring schedule based on the indication of the at least one parameter, wherein the monitoring schedule does not include at least one of the plurality of onDurations and activates a mode of operation where the UE monitors for the emergency message based on the monitoring schedule.

Abstract: A base station may be configured to perform operations related to link management for a remote user equipment (UE). The operations comprising, transmitting configuration information to the remote UE and receiving information corresponding to a serving link associated with the remote UE. The operations further comprising determining that the serving link associated with the remote UE is to be switched from a first communication link to a second communication link. The operations further comprising, transmitting a message to the remote UE indicating that the serving link associated with the remote UE is to be switched from the first communication link to the second communication link. The operations further comprising, transmitting a message to a relay UE.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to deactivate/activate a point-to-multipoint (PTM) link of a multicast radio bearer (MRB). The UE receives, from a base station of a wireless network, a multicast radio bearer (MRB) configuration, wherein the MRB includes configuration of a split MRB including a point to multipoint (PTM) link and a point to point (PTP) link, deactivates or activates the PTM link based on the MRB configuration, reestablishes a radio link control (RLC) associated with the PTM link and recovers a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP).

Abstract: One embodiment described herein takes the form of a user equipment (UE). The UE includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to associate with a secondary UE for collaborative transmission of a data payload of one of the UE or the secondary UE to a base station. The processor is configured to determine a link quality with the base station or the secondary UE, and determine a location of the UE or the secondary UE while associated with the secondary UE. The processor is configured to transmit to the base station or the secondary UE at least the determined link quality or the determined location, and determine to maintain, re-establish, or disable the association with the secondary UE based on at least one of a number of factors including: the determined link quality, the determined location, or an indication received from the base station.
