Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to join a multicast broadcast service (MBS) session. The UE sends, to a network function, a protocol data unit (PDU) modification request comprising a request to join a multicast broadcast service (MBS) session, generates a first key (KMBS-UE), receives a PDU session modification complete message comprising an encrypted second key (KMBS) and a key identification (KID) corresponding to the KMBS and decrypts the Kiss using the KMBS-UE.

Abstract: An approach is described for a user equipment (UE) comprising a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a second UE and a wireless device and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured receive, from the second UE, an end-to-end (E2E) quality of service (QoS) requirement of an E2E connection between the second UE and the wireless device, wherein the E2E connection includes a first hop between the UE and the second UE and a second hop between the UE and the wireless device. The processor is further configured to obtain a first hop link condition and a second hop link condition; split the E2E QoS requirement into a first hop QoS requirement and a second hop QoS requirement based on the first hop link condition and the second hop link condition; and transmit, using the transceiver, the first hop QoS requirement to the second UE. The wireless device is a third UE or a base station.
