  • Publication number: 20230217310
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor one or more first conditions pertaining to non-cellular communications between the UE and a non-cellular network while the UE is operating in a dual networking mode for steering, switching, or splitting traffic (e.g., an access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) mode) between the non-cellular network and a cellular network. The UE may predict an availability status of at least the non-cellular network based on at least one of the one or more first conditions. In some cases, the UE may determine whether to change dual networking modes based on the availability status and may communicate in accordance with the same or a different dual networking mode using at least one of the cellular network, the non-cellular network, or a combination thereof based on the prediction.

  • Publication number: 20230170956
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Communication devices may perform secret key generation using a set of line-of-sight (LOS) communication modes to secure a physical channel. For example, a first device and a second device may communicate a set of reference signals over the physical channel using a set of LOS communication modes. The first device and the second device may generate a secret key based on the set of LOS communication modes, for example, by using information associated with the set of LOS communication modes to compute the secret key using a key derivation function that outputs the secret key. The first device and the second device may secure the physical channel by encrypting signaling between the first device and the second device with the secret key and communicating the signaling over the physical channel using LOS communications.

  • Publication number: 20230085759
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may determine to enable orbital angular momentum (OAM) beamforming for communications with a user equipment (UE), for example, based on one or more communications parameters and receiving a message from the UE indicating a capability of the UE to use OAM beamforming. The base station may transmit control signaling to the UE indicating that OAM beamforming is enabled. In some examples, the base station may transmit control signaling indicating an OAM configuration, which may be for a same slot in which the control signaling is transmitted or a subsequent slot. The base station may transmit a downlink transmission to the UE via OAM beamforming. In some examples, the base station may estimate and correct misalignment associated with OAM beamforming. In some examples, the base station may disable OAM beamforming and transmit an indication that OAM beamforming is disabled.
