Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to operate as an edge enabler client (EEC) and is configured to determine one or more application context relocation (ACR) methods supported by an application client (AC) of the UE and transmit, to an edge data network (EDN), a message comprising a first indication that the AC requires service continuity support, a second indication of one or more ACR methods supported by the AC and a third indication of one or more ACR methods supported by the EEC.

Abstract: An application may provide prebooking information for multiple packet streams to a baseband processor. The prebooking information may include some or all of a first packet stream and information describing one or more additional packet streams. The baseband processor may generate a buffer status report (BSR) corresponding to multiple packet streams to the extent that the data for the packet streams are to arrive at the baseband processor prior to the a preconfigured duration (e.g., the baseband processor receiving a dynamic grant (DG) from the base station). In this sense, application data may be prebooked, by the baseband processor and/or base station, before actually arriving at the baseband processor. These and many other examples and techniques described herein, including the use of dummy packets for a DG, managing DGs based on dummy packets, and more.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for connections aggregation among related devices for edge computing. Such techniques may include a grouping of related devices as an edge group, and assignment of a proxy device for distribution of edge server discovery information among the edge group.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer programs for offloading computing tasks to one or more computers, e.g., that implement an edge server. In one aspect, the method can include actions of transmitting, for a user equipment and to the one or more computers, uplink information via an air interface; determining whether the uplink information has been fully transmitted across the air interface; based on determining that the uplink information has been fully transmitted across the air interface, triggering a sleep mode for the user equipment and starting a first timer; determining that the first timer has expired; and based on determining that the first timer has expired, triggering (i) a user equipment wake-up operation and (ii) maintaining a second timer that indicates when the user equipment should enter the sleep mode if result data, to be generated using the uplink information, has not been received.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components, including apparatus, systems, and methods for discovering and establishing highly directional wireless communication link through other devices with established highly directional communication link to an access point. Devices with established link to the access point may exchange beam information (BI) or geometry or location indication (GI) between the AP and devices seeking to be connected to the AP. The exchange of BI and GI may expedite link establishment between the AP and devices without connection to the AP.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including: receiving, from a remote device, a reference signal for each of one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs); responsive to the receiving, selecting a receiver (Rx) beam from a set of candidate receiver (Rx) beams, the selecting being based on a sweep of the candidate Rx beams and on measuring the reference signal with one or more of the candidate Rx beams of the set of the candidate Rx beams; and communicating, using the selected Rx beam, an element of common control signaling (CCS) information to the remote device.
