Abstract: In examples, a function (e.g., local federation (LF)) may be used in Edge Multi-access Edge Computing (EMEC) and Constrained Multi-access Edge Computing (CMEC) to discover available applications in EMEC and CMEC. The function may be referred to as LFE, for example, if used in EMEC. The function may be referred to as LFC, for example, if used in CMEC. In examples, one or more interfaces may be used between LF entities in EMEC and CMEC, for example, to discover applications. In examples, the interfaces may be referred to as Mpp-lfe and Mpp-cmec. Systems, methods, and/or instrumentalities for one or more of the following may be described herein: EMEC initiated discovery of one or more applications in CMEC, CMEC initiated registration with EMEC to announce availability of application(s), or CMEC initiated discovery of other CMEC application(s).

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for enabling and configuring a time-sensitive networking (TSN) centralized network/distributed user model in a wireless communications system are provided. For example, a method for wireless communications includes receiving configuration information related to forwarding reservation information to a centralized network configuration (CNC) entity, receiving one or more user requests based on the received configuration information, determining reservation information from the received one or more user requests, and sending, based on the received configuration information, the reservation information to the CNC entity.

Abstract: As disclosed herein, there are one or more methods, systems, and/or devices relating to enhanced broadcast services and network optimization. In one example, a wireless network node may send a consumed service discovery request to a station (STA) via an access network query protocol (ANQP), wherein the STA is not associated with the network node. The network node may receive a consumed service discovery response including a set of service IDs and a B SSID of an access point (AP) for each service ID in the set of service IDs, wherein each service ID of the set of service IDs is a service consumed by the STA. In some cases, the consumed services are enhanced broadcast services (eBCS), the request is an ANQP query encapsulated in a GAS broadcast message, and/or request is an ANQP query encapsulated in a GAS groupcast message or a GAS unicast message.

Abstract: Service information (e.g., enhanced broadcast service (eBCS) information) may be distributed. Service (e.g., eBCS) capabilities may be advertised (e.g., by an access point (AP)), for example, by broadcasting a public action frame. A public action frame may include per-service information. A public action frame may be transmitted on a per service basis. A public action frame may combine authentication information and service information. Enhanced broadcast service origin authentication may be performed on a per service basis (e.g., using origin authentication information to authenticate broadcast data frames for a consumed service). Origin authentication information may be common to frames associated with different services. Services may be consumed without querying a service originating device. Stations (e.g., with and without association with an AP) may report consumption or usage of services, Reporting may be unsolicited or solicited (e.g., in response to a request from an AP).

Abstract: The disclosure pertains to a method implemented in a Wireless Transmit/Receive Unit (WTRU) for service continuity during an application context relocation (ACR) procedure. The method includes determining, by the WTRU, one or more local area data network (LADN) data network names (DNNs) that require service continuity. The method additionally includes indicating, to a network by the WTRU, the LADN DNNs that require service continuity. The network is configured to use the list to maintain a protocol data unit (PDU) session toward a source LADN DNN, after the WTRU leaves a service area of a source LADN, while ACR is being executed and release the PDU session when the ACR is complete.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for privacy enhancement are provided herein. A method performed by a station, STA (201), may include transmitting, to an access point, AP (202), a first frame including information indicating that the STA (201) will use an over-the-air medium access control, otaMAC, address for a frame sent to the AP (202). The method may further include generating (210) a second frame for transmission to the AP (202) including a network MAC, nMAC, address of the STA (201), encrypting (211) the generated second frame, and replacing (212) the nMAC address with an otaMAC address either during the encryption or after the encryption. The method may further include transmitting (213) the encrypted second frame, including the otaMAC, to the AP (202), such that the AP (202) may replace (214) the otaMAC address with the nMAC address and decrypt (215) the second frame for forwarding via a distribution system, DS (203).

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, architectures and interfaces for a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) performing a client-side edge resolution function (cERF) are provided. A method may include any of: transmitting, to a network-side edge application resolver (nEAR), a signal requesting an IP address identifying (e.g., associated with) a domain name system (DNS) server associated with the WTRU; applying, by the WTRU, any of edge instance (EI) record rules for the identified DNS server, or updating EI records with the IP address identifying the DNS server; transmitting, to a DNS server, a DNS query associated with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN); receiving, in response to the DNS query, FQDN resolution from the DNS server; on condition that a mobility event of the WTRU occurs, transmitting, to the nEAR, a signal requesting information for updating the EI records of the WTRU; and applying, by the WTRU, any of the updated EI record rules in order to perform any of: (1) redirecting application session traffic to provides session continuity for the WTRU, and (2) breaking any number of application sessions.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, architectures and interfaces for a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) performing a client-side edge resolution function (cERF) are provided. A method may include any of: determining a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) associated with a domain name server (DNS) request of an application associated with the WTRU; if the FQDN is associated with a valid edge instance (EI) record, selecting an EI for resolving the FQDN to an IP address; if the FQDN is not associated with a valid EI record: (1) transmitting a DNS query to a DNS server, (2) receiving an IP address associated with a selected EI to which the FQDN is resolved, and (3) updating the EI record with the IP address and the FQDN; and generating a traffic steering rule to re-direct uplink traffic associated with the application to the selected EI.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)-based edge compute autoscaling. For example, a WTRU may receive a message from a network device. The message may include a list of one or more edge application servers (EAS) associated with an un-instantiated application. The WTRU may select an EAS from the list of one or more EAS associated with the un-instantiated application. The WTRU may transmit a request to an edge data network (EDN), the request indicating a request to instantiate the un-instantiated application at the selected EAS. The WTRU may receive a response from the EDN, the response indicating that the un-instantiated application has been instantiated at the selected edge application server and indicating information for accessing the now instantiated application at the EAS.
