Abstract: Systems and techniques enable an improved network selection procedure. Providers maintain preferred networks lists provisioned to UEs. The preferred networks lists include WLAN RATs, and for each entry coverage area and type of supported services. UEs include multiple credentials for connectivity via providers and potentially multiple transceivers supporting multiple active services. A UE triggers a network selection procedure whenever a new service is initiated. A credential is selected. The UE builds a list of network/RAT combinations from preferred networks lists and filters this list, removing entries that do not support the new service. The UE takes the context of the UE into consideration, further filtering the list. The remaining entries are scanned and a network/RAT combination selected. The UE determines whether registering with the selected network/RAT combination causes an interruption to an ongoing service. If not, the UE registers on the selection. If so, the UE engages in interruption resolution.

Abstract: Connectionless data transfer is disclosed. Authentication of a device and network node may be performed when data is sent from the device to an application server of an application service provider via a selected network. The transfer of data may take place in an absence of an existing device context between the network node interacting with the device and the core network through which the data travels. State management overhead and signaling overhead may be reduced by use of the exemplary aspects disclosed herein. For example, the device does not need to perform an authentication and key agreement (AKA) procedure to transfer the data and an existing (or pre-existing) device context need not be maintained at the core network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may select a beam from a set of beams and transmit an indication of the selected beam in a media access control (MAC) control element to establish a communication link with a base station. In some cases, the UE may select the beam and indicate the selection based on identifying a beam failure and/or determining to perform a random access procedure. When transmitting the indication of the selected beam, the UE may obtain an uplink resource for the transmission based on an availability of the uplink resource. For example, if the uplink resource is available, the UE may transmit the indication of the selected beam multiplexed with an uplink transmission. Alternatively, if the uplink resource is unavailable, the UE may request uplink resources for transmitting the indication of the selected beam.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to mobility with consideration for network slicing are provided. In one embodiment, a user equipment (UE) transmits in a first cell frequency of a network, a request for a network slice of the network that is not provided by the first cell frequency. The UE receives, in response to the request, an information for communicating in a second cell frequency of the network that provides the requested network slice. In one embodiment, a core network entity receives, from a base station (BS) operating over a first cell frequency of a network, a request to provide a network slice of the network to a UE, the network slice not provided by the first cell frequency. The core network entity transmits, to the BS, information associated with a second cell frequency of the network providing the network slice.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to on-demand communications are provided. A first network entity receives, from a user equipment (UE), a network slice request. The first network entity transmits to a second network entity, a request for capability information associated with the UE based on the UE's network slice request. Additionally, the first network entity receives from the second networking entity, a response indicating the capability information associated with the UE.

Abstract: Generally, the described techniques provide for a core network signaling to a base station a delay budget configuration that indicates a determined latency for communications between a core network, base station, and a user equipment (UE). In some cases, the core network may determine a first variable delay budget between the core network and a base station based on capability information associated with the wireless communications system. The core network may transmit the delay budget configuration to the base station, where the delay budget configuration may include the first delay budget. The base station may be able to determine a delay between the UE and the base station based on the delay budget configuration. Using the delay budget configuration, the base station may then schedule communications with the UE.

Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting a random access preamble; receiving a random access response message that includes a plurality of uplink grants associated with the random access preamble, in which each uplink grant in the plurality of uplink grants is associated with a different transmission resource; selecting an uplink grant from the plurality of uplink grants; and transmitting using the selected uplink grant. A method of wireless communication at a network access device includes receiving a random access preamble; and transmitting a random access response message that includes a plurality of uplink grants associated with the random access preamble, in which each uplink grant in the plurality of uplink grants is associated with a different transmission resource.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may experience poor communication with a network access device, and the network access device may configure the UE to connect to, and route communications through, one or more relay nodes (e.g., which may be another UE, a network operator-deployed relay, etc.). Techniques are described whereby these relay nodes may autonomously form a wireless backhaul network. Sequential implementations are considered such that the size of the wireless backhaul network may scale efficiently. In some examples, the wireless backhaul network may form by reusing existing connectivity establishment procedures. Importantly, the proposed techniques enable a relay to possess (e.g., be configured with) functionality that may traditionally be associated with a UE, base station, and gateway. Such multi-faceted functionality may enable the described sequential formation of wireless backhaul networks with tree topology.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to enable abase station and a user equipment (UE) to identify and respond to communications in accordance with one or more communications services. For example, the base station and the UE may support communications in accordance with a wireless communications standard (e.g., third generation partnership project (3GPP) standard), in addition to supporting an additional communications service including one or more proprietary features. In some cases, the UE may transmit an indication to the base station, or the base station may otherwise determine, that the UE supports the proprietary features. Further, the base station may assign and transmit a unique radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) to the UE for the additional communications service (e.g., a proprietary RNTI). Accordingly, the UE and the base station may identify and use the proprietary RNTI when transmitting, receiving, decoding, and responding to proprietary communications messages.
