Abstract: One or more processors are provided. The one or more processors include circuitry that executes instructions to cause a user equipment (UE) to perform operations. The operations include transmitting, to a network entity, a first message indicating a capability of the UE. The operations include determining, based on contextual information associated with the UE, an anticipated mobility event to occur during a time window. The operations include transmitting, to the network entity, a second message indicative of the mobility event. The operations include determining to make a connectivity change when the mobility event occurs. A network entity and a method are also provided.

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: One or more processors are configured to execute instructions that cause a UE to perform operations. The operations include offloading a task to a first network node. The operations include determining a computation requirement forecast, wherein the computation requirement forecast indicates a computation requirement of the task at an upcoming time. The operations include transmitting the computation requirement forecast to the first network node. The operations include performing a handover procedure from the first network node to a second network node.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for split-bearer enhancements during dual-connectivity operation, e.g., in 5G NR systems and beyond (e.g., NextG, 6G, and so forth). A base station may set up a split-bearer for a UE operating in dual-connectivity and connected to the base station and one or more corresponding base stations, including setting up a ratio of a split of data to be delivered to the UE via the base station and the one or more corresponding base stations. The base station may transmit, based on the ratio of the split, a first portion of the data destined for the UE to the UE and a second portion of the data destined for the UE to the one or more corresponding base stations. The base station may adjust, based on one or more split-bearer quality reports received from the UE, the ratio of the split.
