Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for wireless communications. For instance, a network entity can transmit, to an aerial user equipment (UE), policy information associated with a communication interface of a wireless network. The policy information can include a respective policy corresponding to each aerial zone identifier of a plurality of aerial zone identifiers. The network entity can determine a mapping of a plurality of aerial zones to one or more cells of the wireless network, wherein the mapping is indicative of one or more aerial zone identifiers associated with each respective cell of the one or more cells. The network entity can transmit, based on the mapping, at least one aerial zone identifier associated with a first cell of the one or more cells.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an unmanned aircraft system service supplier (USS) may receive a first notification indicating that a user equipment (UE) is moving out of an area associated with the USS. The USS may determine a target USS based at least in part on the first notification. The USS may transmit, to an unmanned aircraft system network function (UAS-NF), a second notification. The second notification may indicate that the UE is reallocated to the target USS. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques at a network provide for efficiently considering parameters of a network slice when determining whether to provide access to the network slice, allow the establishment of a session via the network slice, or grant access to resources for communications via the network slice. Further, the described techniques at a user equipment (UE) provide for efficiently determining when or whether to retry to access a network slice, retry to establish a session via the network slice, or retry to access resources for communicating via the network slice.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a radio access network (RAN) node may transmit, to an access and mobility function (AMF) of a core network, a request associated with a location-based state of a user equipment (UE) served by the RAN node. For example, the location-based state of the UE may be associated with whether the UE is flying or whether the UE is driving. Accordingly, the RAN node may receive a message in response to the request. The RAN node may receive the message in response to the request from the AMF. Alternatively, the AMF may establish a connection between the RAN node and a location management function (LMF) of the core network such that the RAN node receives the message in response to the request from the LMF. 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: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) usually have associated categories based on characteristics of the UAVs and characteristics of flights for the UAVs. These categories are provided to a UAV service supplier (USS) when the UAV registers with the USS and when the UAV submits flight plans to the USS for approval. Such categories are not provided to a wireless communication network that the UAV will use during flight. However, the wireless communication network cannot effectively prioritize service to some UAVs over other UAVs without these categories. Techniques and apparatuses described herein provide categories associated with UAVs to a mobile network that will provide service to the UAVs during flight. The categories may allow the mobile network to prioritize traffic to render operable UAVs that require low-latency communications, such as UAVs using autonomous navigation software, as well as reduce risk to UAVs engaged in high-risk or high-priority missions.

Abstract: A configuration for allowing a wireless device to request control of another wireless device. The apparatus receives a message from a first user equipment (UE), the message comprising a first identifier (ID). The apparatus sends a first request to an authority requesting authorization to control the first UE. The apparatus receives information from the authority for controlling the first UE. The apparatus transmits a second request for connection with the first UE to control the first UE, the second request comprising the information received from the authority.

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: Some aspects described herein relate to provisioning aerial vehicles with identifiers, certificates, or other credentials for communicating based on a mobile network. The UAV can transmit a request to register with the mobile network, where the request includes at least a hardware identifier of the UAV. The UAV may receive, from a component of the mobile network, a response to the request, where the response includes a unique UAV identifier, a UAV certificate, and a network certificate generated by at least one of the component of the mobile network or a unmanned aircraft system service supplier (USS).
