    Abstract: A device obtains proof of its authority to use a first set of selectively activated features (first proof). An authorization server signs the first proof with its private key. The device sends a request to use a network service to a network node. The device sends the first proof to the network node. The network node validates the first proof using a public key of the authorization server. The network node grants the request to use the network service. The device sends a request for proof of authority for the network node to provide the network service (second proof). The device obtains the second proof, signed by another authorization server, and validates the second proof before using the network service. The first proof and the second proof each include a list of selectively activated features, where the selectively activated features are needed to use or provide the network service.

    Abstract: Wireless communications systems, methods, and techniques related to signaling and determining slot and mini-slot structures are provided. A first wireless communication device transmits a first signal according to a first numerology including at least a first tone spacing. The first signal indicates a second numerology including at least a second tone spacing. The first wireless communication device transmits a second signal according to the second numerology. The first signal includes a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) signal. The second numerology is independent from the first numerology. Different slot/mini-slot structures may be utilized for varying channel types to support mixed numerology arrangements. Embodiments may utilize single and varied slot structures; single slot structures may be decoupled from transmission numerology and varied slot structures may be defined based on reference numerology. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
