Abstract: A first user equipment (UE) selects a second UE to act as a relay for the first UE. The first UE determines that multiple second UEs are available to operate as a relay for the first UE, wherein the determining is based on measurement data corresponding to communication interfaces between the first UE and each of the second UEs. The first UE selects a second UE from the multiple second UEs and transmits a signal to the second UE.

Abstract: Some embodiments of this disclosure include systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for use in a wireless network for redirecting a user equipment (UE) to an evolved universal terrestrial radio access (UTRA) absolute radio frequency number (EARFCN) of an evolved universal mobile telecommunications service terrestrial radio access network (EUTRAN) band with a band number greater than sixty four. For example, some embodiments are directed to an electronic device including radio front end circuitry and processor circuitry coupled to the radio front end circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to generate a channel release message and transmit, using the radio front end circuitry, the channel release message to the UE. The channel release message is configured to redirect the UE to the EARFCN of the EUTRAN band with the band number greater than sixty four.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may camp on a base station of a network. The UE receives, from the base station of a wireless network, a broadcast including access restrictions, wherein the access restrictions include one or more predetermined criteria that must be satisfied to camp on the base station. The UE then determines whether the UE satisfies the one or more predetermined criteria.

Abstract: A first user equipment (UE) is capable of serving as a relay for a second UE using a sidelink connection. The first UE determines that a predetermined condition is satisfied, the predetermined condition associated with the first UE operating as a relay for a second UE, transmits a discovery message and monitors for a signal from the second UE in response to the discovery message.

Abstract: An approach is described for a base station to generate a first message and a second message. The base station transmits the first message and the second message to a user equipment (UE). The first message is associated with a cell supported by the base station and includes a first public land mobile network (PLMN) identity index and a first list of one or more network slices supported by a first PLMN associated with the first PLMN identity index. The second message is associated with one or more neighboring cells, and includes the first PLMN identity index and a second list of one or more network slice data associated the first PLMN as supported by the one or more neighboring cells. In addition, at least one of the one or more network slice data in the second list includes a sub-list of one or more neighboring cell data.

Abstract: MBS key distribution includes processing group information associated with an MB session context received from an AF. At least a portion of the group information comprises a TMGI. A plurality of session join requests received from a plurality of UEs are processed. Each of the plurality of session join requests include the TMGI and are associated with the MB session context. A request associated with the MB session context for transmission to an MB-SMF is encoded. A response associated with the MB session context received from the MB-SMF is processed. The response includes a key derived for each of a portion of the plurality of UEs using a UE ID and the TMGI. A DL NAS message and an N2 message are encoded for the plurality of UEs and a base station, respectively. The DL NAS message and the N2 message include the derived key.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for providing broadcast and multicast services to wireless devices while in Idle and Inactive modes a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish a wireless link with a cellular base station of a cellular network. The wireless device may receive information indicating whether provision of a broadcast or multicast service in one or more of an inactive mode or an idle mode is supported by the cellular network. The wireless device may receive the broadcast or multicast service in one or more of the inactive mode or the idle mode based at least in part on the information indicating whether provision of the broadcast or multicast service in one or more of the inactive mode or the idle mode is supported by the cellular network.

Abstract: Sidelink positioning for wireless communications may be achieved by extending the current LCS (LoCation Services) architecture, ProSe (PROximity based SErvices) architecture, and V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) architecture to include sidelink positioning, e.g., during New Radio (NR) wireless communications. The existing architecture infrastructures of LCS, ProSe and V2X may be expanded to include additional signaling and/or they may be modified to incorporate communication of sidelink positioning information into existing signaling, and/or modify existing signaling to carry instructions between user equipment devices (UEs) as well as between UEs and relevant network functions either directly or via base stations when applicable.

Abstract: Techniques are described for improving service continuity for Multicast and Broadcast Services (MBS) communications during handover. Techniques are included for supporting lossless handover and data forwarding during handover for peer-to-multiple (PTM) MBS transmission. Lossless handover may be achieved in part by the user equipment (UE) providing to the target base station an indication of the next packet of the MBS session to be received following an RRC reconfiguration message, and an indication of any MBS packets provided by the source base station prior to the RRC reconfiguration message that were not properly received by the UE. Data forwarding may be performed from the source base station to the target base station if the MBS session was not configured on the target base station prior to the handover. Data forwarding may be omitted if the MBS session was configured on the target base station prior to the handover.
