    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate integrated sensing and communication (ISC), where a wireless network is used for both sensing and for wireless communications. One example aspect is sensing function entity configured to receive a sensing service request from an access and mobility function (AMF) entity, where the sensing service request is received by an access and mobility function/sensing function (AMF/SF) interface. The SF entity is further configured to transmit, by the AMF/SF interface, a sensing service response to the AMF entity and subsequently receive sensing data associated with the sensing service response, where the sensing data is received by a base station/sensing function (BS/SF) interface. The SF entity is further configured to process the sensing data, and transmit the sensing response after processing the sensing data.

    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: Systems and methods for using integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes configured to provide multi-access edge computing (MEC) functionality are disclosed herein. An TAB node includes a distributed unit (DU) having a local application instance of a MEC-enabled application. The local application instance is configured for communication with a first user equipment (UE) connected to the TAB node. A mobile termination functionality (MT) of the IAB node uses a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer to transport data of the local application instance between the MT and an IAB donor. Further, data of the local application instance is transported between the UE and the TAB node via one of a variety of methods, including the use of a second PDCP layer at the DU (and optionally the use of service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layers at each of the DU and the MT), and/or via sidelink.
