    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including generating a layer-2 (L2) header block for a medium access control (MAC) subprotocol data unit (subPDU), the MAC subPDU including a MAC service data unit (SDU) that includes an internet protocol (IP) packet; ciphering at least a portion of the L2 header block; and assembling a transport block that includes the ciphered portion of the L2 header block in the MAC subPDU.

    Abstract: Techniques described herein include solutions for wireless local area network (WLAN) cellular aggregation (WCA). A user equipment (UE) may be configured to communicate with one or more base stations using both a direct cellular link and a multi-hop WLAN link. The multi-hop WLAN link may utilize a WLAN terminal as a relay. The WLAN terminal may communicate with the UE via a WLAN connection, and communicate with a base station via a cellular connection. The WLAN terminal may utilize endpoint mapping information when forwarding packets from the base station to the UE in downlink (DL), or from the UE to the base station in uplink (UL). The endpoint mapping information may be configured before the WCA transmissions and stored in a memory of the WLAN terminal, or may be indicated dynamically in a packet header of each WCA transmission.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable mediums are configured to perform operations including detecting a plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) that are transmitted for a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), each of the SSBs having a SSB index comprising a set of bit values; detecting, from the plurality of SSBs, a first SSB received at a first time and a second SSB received at a second time that is different from the first time; decoding, for a first SSB of the plurality, first bit values of a first SSB index representing the first SSB and of a second SSB index representing the second SSB; determining, based on the first time and the second time, a receive time gap between the first SSB and the second SSB; and determining, based on the receive time gap and the first bit values of the first SSB index and the second SSB index, at least a second bit value of the first second SSB index representing the first SSB and the second SSB representing the second SSB.
