Abstract: A network configures and transmits paging information. The network transmits configuration information to a user equipment (UE) operating in the network, wherein the configuration information comprises a value N based on a minimum gap between reception of a paging downlink control information (DCI) by the UE and fully processing the paging DCI by the UE, configures a paging DCI to be transmitted to the UE on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), wherein the paging DCI includes scheduling information for a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) and transmits the paging DCI to the UE on the PDCCH.

Abstract: A network may provision a user equipment (UE) with charging rules for the UE to host sidelink (SL) communications with other UEs. An application server may receive information indicating a group of user equipment (UE) has been formed, the group of UEs comprising a first UE connected to a radio access network (RAN) and at least one further UE connected via a sidelink (SL) to the first UE, select SL parameters including session management parameters and charging parameters for a SL session for the UE group and provision a policy control function (PCF) of a core network (CN) with the selected SL parameters.

Abstract: The exemplary embodiments relate to a user equipment (UE) providing an indication of user consent to a network for access to UE information. The UE may perform operations including transmitting an indication of user consent to a first network. The user consent corresponds to a network function acquiring UE information. The operations also include transmitting the UE information to the first network and establishing a connection with a second network. The network function performs operations related to establishing the connection between the UE and the second network using the UE information.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured to monitor paging occasions of a network. The UE operates in a paging discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, wherein the DRX cycle includes a paging occasion (PO). The UE determines a location in time for a wake-up signal (WUS) occasion associated with the PO and determines whether to utilize an active mode or a sleep mode during the PO based on an indication included in a WUS received during the WUS occasion.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to utilize wake up signaling during paging operations. The operates in a paging discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, wherein the paging DRX cycle includes a paging occasion (PO). The UE receives a wake-up signal (WUS) during a WUS occasion that is associated with the PO and selects a mode of operation to utilize during the PO based on the WUS.

Abstract: Techniques to protect a subscriber identity, by encrypting a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI) to form one-time use subscription concealed identifiers (SUCIs) using a set of one-time ephemeral asymmetric keys, generated by a user equipment (UE), and network provided keys are disclosed. Encryption of the SUPI to form the SUCIs can mitigate snooping by rogue network entities, such as fake base stations. The UE is restricted from providing the unencrypted SUPI over an unauthenticated connection to a network entity. In some instances, the UE uses a trusted symmetric fallback encryption key KFB or trusted asymmetric fallback public key PKFB to verify messages from an unauthenticated network entity and/or to encrypt the SUPI to form a fallback SUCIFB for communication of messages with the unauthenticated network entity.

Abstract: Techniques for identity-based message integrity protection and verification between a user equipment (UE) and a wireless network entity, include use of signatures derived from identity-based keys. To protect against attacks from rogue network entities before activation of a security context with a network entity, the UE verifies integrity of messages by checking a signature using an identity-based public key PKID derived by the UE based on (i) an identity value (ID) of the network entity and (ii) a separate public key PKPKG of a private key generator (PKG) server. The network entity generates signatures for messages using an identity-based private key SKID obtained from the PKG server, which generates the identity-based private key SKID using (i) the ID value of the network entity and (ii) a private key SKPKG that is known only by the PKG server and corresponds to the public key PKPKG.
