Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for reducing wireless device service interruptions. An indication of a disaster condition may be provided to a wireless device. The disaster condition may affect a home public land mobile network of the wireless device. The wireless device may perform cell selection in a manner influenced by the indication of the disaster condition. This may include considering cells associated with a forbidden public land mobile network for the cell selection, or excluding cells associated with the home public land mobile network of the wireless device that are unavailable, for example due to the disaster condition, among various possibilities.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for emergency communications (e.g., voice calls and/or SMS messages) for UE's without cellular coverage (e.g., in non-cellular coverage). A function of a core network may receive, from a relay UE, a request to establish an SOS APN for a host UE, where the request may include at least an approximate location of the host UE, and where the host UE may be out of range of cellular service. The function of the core network may route, based, at least in part, on the approximate location of the host UE, traffic to a PSAP with a coverage area that includes the approximate location of the host UE using the established SOS APN. The approximate location of the host UE may be based, at least in part, on a location of the relay UE.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate integrated sensing and communication (ISC), where a wireless network is used for both sensing and for wireless communications. One example aspect is sensing function entity configured to receive a sensing service request from an access and mobility function (AMF) entity, where the sensing service request is received by an access and mobility function/sensing function (AMF/SF) interface. The SF entity is further configured to transmit, by the AMF/SF interface, a sensing service response to the AMF entity and subsequently receive sensing data associated with the sensing service response, where the sensing data is received by a base station/sensing function (BS/SF) interface. The SF entity is further configured to process the sensing data, and transmit the sensing response after processing the sensing data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for using integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes configured to provide multi-access edge computing (MEC) functionality. An IAB node may include a MEC functionality that includes an instance of an application configured for MEC. A UE using the application connects to the network through an access link with the IAB node and establishes a PDU session for traffic of the application with a core network (CN). The CN may determine that the traffic corresponds to the application, and that an instance of the application is present on the IAB node. Accordingly, the CN may instruct the IAB donor to instantiate a remote packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer and, in some cases, a remote service data application (SDAP) layer that are configured to route the traffic from the UE for the application to the instance of the application on the IAB node.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to operate as an edge enabler client (EEC) and is configured to determine one or more application context relocation (ACR) methods supported by an application client (AC) of the UE and transmit, to an edge data network (EDN), a message comprising a first indication that the AC requires service continuity support, a second indication of one or more ACR methods supported by the AC and a third indication of one or more ACR methods supported by the EEC.

Abstract: An approach is described for a base station to generate a first message and a second message. The base station transmits the first message and the second message to a user equipment (UE). The first message is associated with a cell supported by the base station and includes a first public land mobile network (PLMN) identity index and a first list of one or more network slices supported by a first PLMN associated with the first PLMN identity index. The second message is associated with one or more neighboring cells, and includes the first PLMN identity index and a second list of one or more network slice data associated the first PLMN as supported by the one or more neighboring cells. In addition, at least one of the one or more network slice data in the second list includes a sub-list of one or more neighboring cell data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for using integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes configured to provide multi-access edge computing (MEC) functionality are disclosed herein. An TAB node includes a distributed unit (DU) having a local application instance of a MEC-enabled application. The local application instance is configured for communication with a first user equipment (UE) connected to the TAB node. A mobile termination functionality (MT) of the IAB node uses a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer to transport data of the local application instance between the MT and an IAB donor. Further, data of the local application instance is transported between the UE and the TAB node via one of a variety of methods, including the use of a second PDCP layer at the DU (and optionally the use of service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layers at each of the DU and the MT), and/or via sidelink.

Abstract: A network may authenticate a user equipment (UE) to access an edge data network. The network generates a first credential based on a second credential, the second credential generated for a procedure between the UE and a cellular network corresponding to the network component, receives an identifier associated with the first credential from a further network component in response to the UE transmitting an application registration request to a server associated with an edge data network and retrieves the first credential based on the identifier. The network also receives a multi-access edge computing (MEC) authorization parameter, verifies the MEC authorization parameter and transmits an authentication verification response to a second network component.
