Abstract: In some implementations, a first access point (AP) selects one or more other APs for participation with the first AP in a coordinated access point transmission session. The first AP obtains a transmission opportunity (TXOP), and transmits a frame indicating scheduling information for uplink (UL) or downlink (DL) transmissions to or from the selected APs, the scheduling information indicating a respective start time for the UL or DL transmissions to or from the selected APs, at least two of the start times being offset from one another by a time period associated with decoding a preamble of a wireless packet. The first AP transmits or receives wireless packets to or from one or more associated stations (STAs) at least partially concurrently with the transmission or reception of wireless packets by the selected APs to or from their respective associated STAs based on the scheduling information.

The method also comprises the UE initiating the application within a virtualization container corresponding to the virtualization container ID based on the security flag indicating that the network slice is secure and binding traffic for the application in the virtualization container to a PDU session based on the traffic descriptors. The method further comprises communicating, by the application executing within the virtualization container, with a core network over the PDU session via the network slice bound to the virtualization container.

Abstract: Example connection processing methods in a multi-access scenario and apparatus are described. One example method includes receiving a second transmission message by a session management functional entity from a mobility management functional entity. The session management functional entity determines whether establishment of a multi-access PDU session is allowed based on session subscription data of user equipment. In response to determining that the establishment of the multi-access PDU session is allowed, the session management functional entity sends an N4 session establishment or update request message to a user plane functional entity. The user plane functional entity sends a connection establishment reply message to the session management functional entity.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may receive, during release from a radio access network (RAN), resource information associated with attaching to the RAN, wherein the resource information is received based on the device being authenticated. The UE may store the resource information in a data structure associated with the UE, and may receive, when the UE includes a payload of data packets to transmit to the RAN, a signal from the RAN. The UE may determine, based on the signal, whether the RAN is a same RAN that provided the resource information, and may determine whether a strength of the signal from the RAN satisfies a threshold when the RAN is the same RAN that provided the resource information. The UE may attach to the RAN when the strength of the signal satisfies the threshold, and may provide the payload to the RAN via a random access channel of the RAN.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for synchronized channel access. Some implementations more specifically relate to facilitating coexistence among wireless communication devices that support synchronized channel access and those that do not.

The quiet elements establish recurring quiet periods during which legacy devices are not permitted to transmit. In some implementations, an access point may transmit one or more quiet override elements each associated with a respective quiet element and indicating to other access points supporting synchronized channel access that they are permitted to contend for access during the respective quiet period.
