    Abstract: Systems and methods for supporting multiple uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) Service Suppliers (multi-USS) are described. The methods may be performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) including a UAV application enabling (UAE) client located in the UAV with the method performed with the UAV in-flight. Steps may include: sending a registration request to a UAE server, the registration request including an indication of multi-USS capability; receiving a registration response message that includes an indication that the UAE server supports multi-USS capability; receiving a multi-USS configuration request that includes multi-USS configuration parameters related to conditions under which the UAE client may initiate a USS change and a list of allowed USSs; sending a multi-USS configuration response; and performing a multi-USS change and sending a multi-USS change notification based on the multi-USS configuration parameters.

    Abstract: A relay WTRU may receive, from a remote WTRU, a request for connection that includes a PRUK ID. The relay WTRU may transmit, to a PKMF associated with the relay WTRU, a key request message that includes the PRUK ID. The relay WTRU may receive, from the PKMF associated with the relay WTRU, a key response message that includes a GPI. The relay WTRU may transmit, to the remote WTRU, a direct security mode command message that includes the GPI. The relay WTRU may receive, from the remote WTRU, a direct security mode complete message. The relay WTRU may transmit, to the PKMF associated with the relay WTRU, a PRUK confirmation message. The relay WTRU, may receive, from the PKMF associated with the relay WTRU, an acknowledgement that the PRUK confirmation message was received, and transmit, to the second WTRU, an acceptance of the request for connection.

    Abstract: A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to perform an edge application server (EAS) discovery procedure for a user session. The WTRU may be configured to determine, based on the EAS discovery procedure, that there are no available target EAS (T-EAS) instances for the user session. The WTRU may be configured to determine whether the user session supports application context relocation (ACR) to a cloud application server (CAS) using ACR configuration information (ACI). The WTRU may be configured to establish a connection with the CAS based on the ACI. The WTRU may be configured to send a notification to one or more ACR entities indicating that ACR to the CAS has been initiated. The WTRU may be configured to obtain CAS details using the ACI.

    Abstract: Cellular connectivity and quality of service (QOS) monitoring and prediction are provided for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication. A core network (CN) may select assisting UAVs for communication link monitoring according to a target UAV's flight route. The CN may receive the assisting UAV's monitoring report, which may be used to derive a communication link quality prediction for the target UAV's flight path. The target UAV may discover and select an adjacent pilot UAV, which flies ahead of the target UAV's trajectory. The target UAV may receive a monitoring report from the pilot UAV, which may be used to predict a communication link quality for the target UAV's flight path. An unmanned aerial system (CAS) network function (NF) may collect QOS monitoring information from other NFs for a predetermined/popular flight route. The UAS NF may provide a prediction to the USS (e.g., upon request).

    Abstract: A network node, e.g., an edge configuration server (ECS), associated with a first PLMN may receive a first message from a WTRU. The first message may indicate a request to be notified if a type of network node, e.g., an ECS, becomes available to be accessed by the WTRU. The network node may receive a second message from a second network node. The second message may indicate an identity of a second PLMN and may indicate that the WTRU has become registered with the second PLMN. The network node may determine that a third network node of the type of network node, e.g., an ECS, is available to be accessed by the WTRU in the second PLMN. The network node may determine local breakout (LBO) information for the WTRU to establish a LBO packet data unit (PDU) session in the second PLMN and access the third network node.

    Abstract: A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to transmit on a first interface and determine to transmit on a second interface. The WTRU may receive configuration information. For example, the configuration information may include a path switching capability indication, a path switching policy, and an information sharing method indication. Based on the configuration information, the WTRU may determine to perform a path switch. In response to determining to perform a path switch, the WTRU may retrieve certain information associated with a peer WTRU. The WTRU may transmit, based on the retrieved information, a path switch request to the peer WTRU. The WTRU may receive a response to the path switch request. If the response indicates that the path switch request has been accepted by the peer WTRU, the WTRU may perform a communication path switch from the first interface to a second interface.
