Abstract: A method performed by an SMCE is provided. The method includes receiving, from at least one of a TX UE or an RX UE, semantic data corresponding to a semantic communications session between the TX UE and the RX UE. The SMCE is communicatively coupled to the TX UE and the RX UE. The method includes determining, based at least on the received data, a semantic distortion corresponding to the semantic communications session. The method includes synchronizing, with at least one of the TX UE or the RX UE, semantic data corresponding to the semantic communications session. A method performed by a UE is also provided.

Abstract: A network device or component such as an access node (AN) can operate to provide a request to obtain a network slice of a network slice as a service (NSaaS) to provide a communication service on the network slice for an end-user device. In response to obtaining the network slice, a network slice customer (NSC) Service identity (ID) associated with the network slice can be determined and provided for a communication service for an application by the end-user device or user equipment (UE). The request can be processed at a network slice provider (NSP) component, in which the network slice can be assigned to the NSC in response to the request by the NSC. The NSP further provides a user equipment (UE) route selection policy (URSP) comprising a traffic descriptor that includes the NSC Service ID to the NSC.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for effectuating a transaction by an intermediary. An example method can include instructing a device to monitor a status of a first item, and to transmit a first request for a target item based at least in part on the status of the first item, the target item being a same item type as the first item. Receiving, by the from the device, the first request for the target item. Determining a first source device of a plurality of source devices to which to transmit a second request for the target item. Transmitting, to the first source device of the plurality of source devices, the second request for the target item based at least in part on the determination. Receiving a confirmation of the second request.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for effectuating a transaction by an intermediary. An example method can include receiving a first message from a second device, the first message comprising a request for a first item, wherein the first message is received by a backend process executing on the first device. A second message that includes a request for a first information associated with the first item, can be transmitted. A third message comprising the first information associated with the first item can be received. A fourth message comprising a request to initiate a transaction for the first item can be transmitted to a third device. A fifth message can be received from the third computing device, the fifth message comprising a confirmation of the transaction based at least in part on the fourth message.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can operate to configure an application service to a network slice instance while preserving an application identity (ID) privacy. The UE receives network slice customer (NSC) Service ID from an NSC. A UE route selection policy (URSP) from a network slice provider (NSP), or network operator, includes the NSC Service ID in a traffic descriptor that associates a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) with the NSC Service ID. The UE associates the application service to the network slice instance based on the NSC Service ID and the S-NSSAI.

Abstract: A user equipment device (UE) provides slice related information to a first cellular network (4G Network) that does not support network slicing. This slice related information may assist the 4G Network in providing the appropriate network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) to the UE for use during subsequent inter RAT transfers to a different cellular network (5G Network) that does support network slicing.

Abstract: Packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer encoding and decoding procedures for use in cell-free networks are disclosed. A transmitter (e.g., a user equipment (UE) or a cluster of base stations that serves a UE) performs PDCP processing using a PDCP entity by: generating a concatenated service data unit (SDU) set by concatenating a plurality of SDUs for a protocol data unit (PDU) set; segmenting the concatenated SDU set into one or more systematic PDUs of the PDU set; performing an encoding with the one or more systematic PDUs to generate one or more redundant PDUs of the PDU set; and distributing the one or more systematic PDUs and the one or more redundant PDUs across one or more radio link control (RLC) entities for transmission. Complimentary processes performed by a PDCP entity of a receiver (e.g., a cluster of base stations or a UE) are also disclosed.
