    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a first user equipment (UE) that is out-of-coverage of a base station and a second UE that is in-coverage of the base station may support signaling exchanges for transmitting or receiving a discovery message, an essential system information block (E-SIB), common SIB updates, or on-demand SIBs within a relaying network before and after a relay connection between the first UE and the second UE. The first UE may receive the discovery message and the E-SIB via same or different signaling and may acquire or decode the E-SIB according to various techniques. The first UE may receive common SIB updates via a dedicated logical channel between the first UE and the second UE and the first UE may initiate on-demand SIB acquisition after establishment of the relay connection and based on a connection type of the first UE.

    Abstract: Embodiments may include a user equipment (UE) configured to obtain a Mobile Subscriber Identification Number (MSIN) from an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) of the UE, encrypt the MSIN to generate a Subscription Concealed Identifier (SUCI) in a Network Access Identifier (NAI) format, and send the SUCI to the non-3GPP access network for authentication of the UE, and a network element of a home 3GPP network configured to receive, by a 5G Non-seamless WLAN Offload (NSWO) Function, an authentication request including the SUCI from the non-3GPP access network, determine, by the 5G NSWO Function, based on the SUCI, that the UE should be authenticated by an authentication function of the home 3GPP network, and provide the authentication request including the SUCI to the authentication function of the home 3GPP network for processing based on the determination that the UE should be authenticated by the authentication function.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a device may transmit, via a broadcast, a first frame that indicates one or more of a device credential or a payload. The device may receive, from the access point, a second frame that indicates one or more of the payload or an access point credential. The device may associate with the access point based at least in part on the access point credential. The device may perform a communication, to a cloud computing system via the access point, after the device has been associated with the access point. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques that may be applied, for example, in a multi-slice network for maintaining privacy when attempting to access the network. An exemplary method generally includes transmitting a registration request message to a serving network to register with the serving network; receiving a first confirmation message indicating a secure connection with the serving network has been established; transmitting, after receiving the first confirmation message, a secure message to the serving network comprising an indication of at least one configured network slice that the UE wants to communicate over, wherein the at least one configured network slice is associated with a privacy flag that is set; and receiving a second confirmation message from the serving network indicating that the UE is permitted to communicate over the at least one configured network slice.

    Abstract: One aspect relates to initiating, by a device, a connection with an application server associated with one or more application services. A gateway derives an uplink network token and/or a downlink network token. The tokens are provisioned to the device and/or an application server over the user-plane. The tokens are included with uplink and/or downlink packets, respectively. Another aspect relates to receiving a data packet at a gateway. The gateway determines a requirement for a network token from the packet. The gateway derives the network token based on a device subscription profile maintained by a network. The network token may be sent with the packet to a destination address associated with the packet. A packet including a network token may be received at a gateway. The gateway may verify the network token and send the data packet to an application server or a device if the verifying is successful.

    Abstract: Aspects relate to user equipment (UE) to user equipment (UE-to-UE) relaying in a communication system. At least two remote UEs and a UE-to-UE relay receive provisioned security information from the wireless communication network, where the security information includes discovery parameters and relay security information. The security information provisioned by the wireless communication network is used to establish a connection between the two UEs and the UE-to-UE relay device including discovery of the UE-to-UE relay by the remote UEs. Furthermore, the provisioned security information is used to establish a secure connection between the two remote UEs via the UE-to-UE relay device.
