Abstract: A 6 GHz Wi-Fi device must obtain operability information to operate at a location. Providing a user with an operability indicator for a 6 GHz Wi-Fi device at a location can conserve resources and enhance the quality of experience for a user. A user interface can receive a location input from a user interface, for example, a user input or pre-filled information. The location can be determined based on the location input, for example, one or more location parameters. The one or more location parameters can be previously stored or retrieved from, for example, a network resource, such as a geocoding service. The user interface can provide an operability indicator to the user interface that indicates whether the 6 GHz Wi-Fi device is operable at one or more 6 GHz frequencies and a transmit power associated with allowed or permitted one or more 6 GHz frequencies.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device, such as a network entity, may transmit an indication (e.g., via control signaling) to a receiving device, such as a user equipment (UE), indicating that a secure downlink message is scheduled for transmission to the UE. The UE may transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) to the network entity in response to the control signaling, and the network entity may determine a channel estimate and construct interference based on the channel estimate. The network entity may encode the secure downlink message according to an orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) precoding scheme and may add the interference to the encoded secure downlink message over a slot duration. The network entity may transmit the encoded secure downlink message, including the added interference, to the UE. The UE may decode the encoded secure downlink message based on the OTFS precoding scheme.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for user equipment (UE) registering, an electronic device and a storage medium. Under 5G core network slice isolation networking, when an AMF network element detects that a UE is unsuccessfully registered on the AMF network element, the AMF network element sends to the UE a registration reject message comprising at least a first cell and a second cell. In this way, when the UE sends registration information again, the UE can select target network slice information based on network slice information configured in the first cell. And a 5G base station, when receiving the registration information from the UE, determines a corresponding target AMF network element based on the target network slice information in the requested NSSAI, such that the UE can be successfully registered to the target AMF network element.

Abstract: For a random access procedure (e.g., 2-step RACH and/or 4-step RACH), a network node may configure different physical random access preamble configurations (e.g., different PRACH occasions, preamble indexes, or preamble formats) for different user equipment (UE)/service groups that are associated with different UE priorities, UE types, service priorities, service types, and/or network slices. A UE may select a configuration to use to transmit the random access preamble based on the priority of the UE, the type of the UE, the priority of the service, the type of the service, and/or the network slice. In 2-step RACH, a network node may also configure different msgA PUSCH resources for different UE priorities, UE types, service priorities, service types, and/or network slices. The UE may transmit the random access preamble in accordance with the selected PRACH configuration as part of a contention based random access procedure.

With this solution, channel estimation is able to be performed in diverse scenarios (e.g., diverse Doppler scenarios, high-velocity scenarios and the like) with low overheads in reference signals (e.g., 1 DMRS), thereby reducing network consumption.
