Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE), manufacturer server, and/or cellular network to perform radio capability signaling. A new type of UE radio capability identifier is provided which may allow a network to distinguish between similar UEs that have or have not implemented a capability update. In order to perform a forced capability update, a manufacturer may issue information about the update to a cellular network (and receive acknowledgement of the information) prior to pushing the update to UEs. In response to an unforced capability update, a cellular network may maintain multiple UE radio capability identifiers for similar UEs which have or have not implemented the update. A UE radio capability identifier may be adjusted dynamically in response to temporary changes in the UE's capability.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for enhancement of multi-SIM devices, such as UE 106. A network may increase paging retries for known MU-SIM devices, e.g., based on an indication of capabilities from a MU-SIM device. The indication may be via a NAS registration request, an RRC capability procedure, and/or an RRC UE assistance procedure. Additionally, a network may include an indication of a paging priority to the UE. The UE may then determine a response to the page based, at least in part, on the indicated priority. Further, the UE may indicate a tune-away to the network. The indication of the tune-away may include a cause and/or duration for the tune-away and may be provided at an RRC level or a network access stratum (NAS) level.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured with operations to determine whether a network supports non-voice IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) services. The UE determines whether a network with which the UE is communicating supports a non-voice IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) service and when the network supports the non-voice IMS service, initiates an IMS Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session establishment with the network.

Abstract: A mobile device (UE) may access standalone non-public networks (SNPNs) in various different locations as equivalent SNPNs (eSNPNs) corresponding to a home SNPN of the device. The device may obtain a list of eSNPNs corresponding to the home SNPN, and may access a second SNPN at a location different from a location of the home SNPN, in response to identifying the second SNPN and the list including the second SNPN as an eSNPN corresponding to the home SNPN of the device. The eSNPNs may include roaming eSNPNs (ReSNPNs) for accessing an enterprise NPN globally and/or at various different locations. The eSNPN/ReSNPN list may be maintained in a new network identifier management function (NMF). NPNs may be implemented as network slice instances (NSIs) via identifying data in the single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI). Multiple credentialed SNPNs of a UE may be prioritized for access by the UE.

Abstract: A communications system may include a user equipment (UE) device, a cellular network, a core network, and an emergency alert originator that broadcasts an emergency alert. The core network transmits a message to the UE that identifies a first region associated with the alert. The cellular network transmits a message to the UE that identifies a second region associated with the alert. The UE generates an expanded region as a hull around the first region and monitors its location relative to the hull. The UE displays a message body of the alert if/when the UE is within the hull and the first region is sufficiently similar to the second region. This may allow the UE to inform a user of the alert as rapidly as possible, regardless of how the cellular network and/or the core network interpret the emergency alert broadcast by the emergency alert originator.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may be configured to reattempt to establish a multiple access (MA) protocol data unit (PDU) session when the UE moves to a new registration area. The UE transmits a request for a MA PDU session to the network, receives a message from the network indicating the request has been rejected, wherein the message further includes a status indication for reattempt requests to establish the MA PDU session, determines, when the UE moves into a new registration area of a PLMN, whether reattempt requests are allowed based on, at least, the status indication and transmits, when reattempt requests are allowed, a further request to establish the MA PDU session.
