Abstract:
A UE may move out of range of a network. Accordingly, the UE may use a relay node to communicate. To manage the relay node, a wireless device such as the UE may receive a relay search message from a second UE requesting a relay UE to establish a connection to the network through the relay UE. The UE may transmit a message to a base station informing the base station of the relay search message from the second UE. The UE may receive an initiate relay association procedure message from the base station, the initiate relay association procedure message informing the first UE that the first UE has been selected by the base station to initiate a relay association procedure with the second UE. The UE may transmit a relay association message to the second UE including a request to be the relay UE for the second UE.
Abstract:
Aspects described herein relate to reporting user equipment (UE) activity period statistics. Statistics for a UE regarding a time the UE is in a connected mode or idle mode during one or more activity periods can be determined. From the statistics for the UE, it can also be determined whether the time the UE is in the connected mode in the one or more activity periods is less than a threshold. At least a portion of the statistics for the UE can be provided to an access network node where the time the UE is in the connected mode in a corresponding portion of the one or more activity periods is less than the threshold.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network entity may receive policy and charging control (PCC) rules that indicate that a multi-access (MA) protocol data unit (PDU) session is to be established with a redundant steering mode. The network entity may transmit N4 interface rules that indicate the redundant steering mode and parameters for the MA PDU session, such as an uplink duplication factor, a downlink duplication factor, an uplink redundant bitrate, a downlink redundant bitrate, or an access path to duplicate. The network entity may transmit access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) rules that indicate, for the MA PDU session, an indication to use the redundant steering mode and the parameters. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Aspects relate to core network entities that: establish a session including at least one of: application data unit (ADU) detection rules, or ADU handling rules related to a detection of ADUs in a user plane, and determine, for one or more quality of service (QOS) flows, whether ADU awareness applies based on an application of the ADU detection rules, or the ADU handling rules; and transmit a request to create a session that supports ADU-based QoS flows, negotiate at least one of: ADU-based QoS policies, or ADU QoS rules applicable to the session, and receive an acknowledgment of creation of the session in response to completing the negotiating. A radio access network entity conveys, during a session, one or more ADUs to a user equipment via a user plane in compliance with ADU-based QoS policies associated with at least one ADU aware QoS flow.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for establishing a dual third generation partnership project (3 GPP) access protocol data unit (PDU) session. An example method performed by a user equipment includes selecting a first access link for a protocol data unit (PDU) session, selecting a second access link based on the first access link, and establishing the PDU session based on the selected first access link and the second access link.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a network, a session establishment request that includes at least one indication associated with a multicast broadcast service (MBS) session. Accordingly, the UE may receive, from the network, a response to the session establishment request. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may transmit, to the network, a session release request that includes at least one indication associated with the MBS session. Accordingly, the UE may receive, from the network, a response to the session release request. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
An apparatus for wireless communication is provided. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE). The apparatus receives a token from a first server in an edge data network. For example, the first server may be an edge application server (EAS). The apparatus transmits identification information associated with the apparatus to a second server of the edge data network. For example, the second server may be an edge enabler server (EES). The identification information includes at least the token, an identifier of the apparatus, and an identifier of the first server, wherein the identifier of the apparatus is independent of an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the apparatus.
Abstract:
A Registration Area (RA) supporting UE satellite access to a serving PLMN may correspond to a geodetic area (e.g. a circle) and may be determined by a network node (e.g. AMF) based on a current geodetic location of the UE. The UE may access a radio cell supported by a satellite for a serving PLMN. The UE may determine whether the radio cell provides coverage for the RA, e.g., based on whether an updated geodetic location of the UE is inside the RA or based on whether a geodetic coverage area of the radio cell covers at least part of the RA. The UE may perform a Registration with the serving PLMN via the radio cell when the radio cell is determined to not provide coverage for the RA. The serving PLMN may page the UE, when idle, using radio cells whose coverage includes at least part of the RA.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a mechanism to enable interworking between fifth generation system (5GS) network slicing and evolved packet core (EPC) connectivity. In an example, techniques are provided for existing packet data unit (PDU) sessions that provide connectivity to a network slice from a set of network slices. Connectivity to the network slice is in response to a user equipment (UE), that uses network slices, moving between a 5G network and a 4G network. The existing PDU sessions are connected to a dedicated EPC core network that supports the same services provided by the network slice.
Abstract:
In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, via a first radio access technology (RAT), system information that identifies a set of frequencies of a second RAT and one or more available multicast or broadcast (MB) services. The UE may trigger a switch from a first multicast radio bearer (MRB), of the first RAT, to a first unicast dedicated radio bearer (DRB), of the first RAT, for reception of an MB service via the first RAT. The UE may transmit an indication that indicates the MB service or a frequency via which the MB service is available via the second RAT. The UE may receive an MRB configuration associated with receiving the MB service via a target base station using the second RAT. The UE may switch from a second unicast DRB, of the second RAT, to a second MRB, of the second RAT, after handover.
