    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode system information including access barring parameters for one or more access categories for accessing a cell of a next generation Node-B (gNB). A network access attempt is detected by a control plane layer of the UE that is higher than a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer. The processing circuitry maps, using a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) layer of the control plane, the network access attempt to at least one access category of a plurality of available access categories based on mapping rules. The processing circuitry performs an access barring check procedure for the mapped at least one access category based on the access barring parameters. Upon determining that access to the cell is not barred, a NAS message is encoded for transmission to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), e.g. an Attach Request message to perform an attach procedure.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive broadcast information from a public land mobile network (PLMN) including at least a PLMN identifier (ID), attempt a registration with the PLMN by sending a registration request to the PLMN, wherein the UE attempts the registration via a base station operated by the PLMN deployed in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) arrangement including a non-terrestrial component configured to provide services to the UE via a service link, receive a message including a cause code indicating the PLMN is not allowed to operate at a current UE location and further including a set of attributes indicating further conditions wherein the registration with the PLMN is not allowed and avoid further registration attempts with the PLMN when the further conditions are met.

    Abstract: A primary device may run a software application requiring a compute task. The primary device may receive statistics from a set of secondary devices over wireless communication links. The statistics may include parameters associated with the compute and communication capabilities of the secondary devices. The primary device may predict, based on the statistics, an expected performance gain in distributing the compute task to the secondary devices relative to performing the compute task locally. If the expected performance gain is high enough, the primary device may distribute shares of the compute task to the secondary devices over the wireless communication links. If the expected performance gain is low enough, the primary device may perform the compute task locally. If the expected performance gain is moderate, the primary device may update the set of secondary devices and/or may update a coding and distribution scheme for the compute task.
