Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to deactivate/activate a point-to-multipoint (PTM) link of a multicast radio bearer (MRB). The UE receives, from a base station of a wireless network, a multicast radio bearer (MRB) configuration, wherein the MRB includes configuration of a split MRB including a point to multipoint (PTM) link and a point to point (PTP) link, deactivates or activates the PTM link based on the MRB configuration, reestablishes a radio link control (RLC) associated with the PTM link and recovers a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP).

Abstract: One embodiment described herein takes the form of a user equipment (UE). The UE includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to associate with a secondary UE for collaborative transmission of a data payload of one of the UE or the secondary UE to a base station. The processor is configured to determine a link quality with the base station or the secondary UE, and determine a location of the UE or the secondary UE while associated with the secondary UE. The processor is configured to transmit to the base station or the secondary UE at least the determined link quality or the determined location, and determine to maintain, re-establish, or disable the association with the secondary UE based on at least one of a number of factors including: the determined link quality, the determined location, or an indication received from the base station.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to join a standalone non-public network (SNPN). The receives SNPN information from one or more broadcast messages transmitted from a base station serving as an onboarding base station for the SNPN, determines whether the onboarding base station may be used for onboarding by the UE based on the SNPN information and UE SNPN information stored at the UE and onboards the UE to the SNPN when it is determined that the onboarding base station may be used for onboarding by the UE.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to join a multicast broadcast service (MBS) session. The UE sends, to a network function, a protocol data unit (PDU) modification request comprising a request to join a multicast broadcast service (MBS) session, generates a first key (KMBS-UE), receives a PDU session modification complete message comprising an encrypted second key (KMBS) and a key identification (KID) corresponding to the KMBS and decrypts the Kiss using the KMBS-UE.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is connected to a wireless network and operates in a carrier aggregation (CA) state that includes a first connection to a primary cell and a second connection to a secondary cell. The UE determines a beam failure has occurred for one of the first connection or the second connection and initiates a beam failure recovery (BFR) operation. The BFR operation includes transmitting, to the primary cell, a BFR Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE).
