Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to uplink (UL) gap triggering. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a processor of user equipment is configured to perform following operations. The operations comprise transmitting to a network a user preference via a first signaling, wherein the user preference indicates a preference of the UE in uplink (UL) gap configuration; transmitting to the network an UL gap activation request via a second signaling, wherein the UL gap activation request indicates the network that an UL gap activation for the UE is needed; and transmitting to the network device an UL gap deactivation request via a third signaling, wherein the UL gap deactivation request indicates the network that an UL gap deactivation for the UE is needed..

IPC: H04W36/30

Abstract: A UE may perform a location-based conditional handover (CHO) based on a region information and size parameter associated with a serving cell of a non-terrestrial network (NTN). In time-based CHO, the UE may perform CHO in response to expiration of a network-configured wait time. Alternatively, the UE may perform CHO by randomly selecting a wait time from a network configured time range. The selection may be randomized using a network provided seed or using a cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) value. In elevation-based CHO, the UE may perform CHO in response to the elevation angle of a satellite being less than a network configured threshold. When the UE is configured with multiple cells of the NTN, and the CHO criteria for two or more of the cells are satisfied, the UE may select a target cell for CHO based on network indicated prioritization of the cells.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for physical downlink control channel handling when a secondary cell group is activated in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish a wireless link with a master cell group. A secondary cell group may be configured. The wireless device may receive an indication to activate the secondary cell group without performing a random access channel procedure on the secondary cell group. The wireless device may determine quasi-co-located information for a physical downlink control channel of the secondary cell group. The wireless device may perform physical downlink control channel decoding for the physical downlink control channel of the secondary cell group using the determined quasi-co-located information.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for authentication and authorization in a 5G network between an edge enabler client (EEC) of a UE and an edge configuration server (ECS). The embodiment include performing primary authentication with the 5G network to obtain a K AUSF; generating a K edge and a K edge ID using the K AUSF and a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI); providing the Kedge and the K edge ID to the EEC to cause it to compute a MAC EEC using the K edge and an EEC ID; and sending to the ECS an application registration request, the application registration request including the EEC ID, MACEEC, and K edge ID.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive, from a base station of a wireless network, a deactivation indication indicating that a secondary cell group (SCG) of a dual connectivity (DC) wireless communications configuration has been deactivated, receive, from the base station, a remapping indication indicating that SCG data originally mapped to an SCG bearer should be remapped to an alternate bearer, remap the SCG data to the alternate bearer based on the remapping indication and transmit data over the alternate bearer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for small data transmissions (SDTs) between a user equipment (UE) and a network are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the UE determines whether to perform an SDT procedure by comparing its own mobility state to an SDT mobility state condition provided by the network. The UE may also determine whether to perform the SDT procedure by comparing the size of user plane (UP) data to be sent with the SDT procedure to an SDT mobility-based data amount threshold provided by the network. Upon entering an RRC_INACTIVE state, the UE may start a validity timer relative to any such SDT mobility state condition and/or SDT mobility-based data amount threshold, and invalidate these once the validity timer expires. In some disclosed embodiments, the UE reports its determined mobility state to the network during an SDT procedure so that the network can accordingly select configuration parameters for SDT procedures.
