Abstract: A method and system for sharing radio network resources in a distributed ledger (DL) network that is operated between a plurality of participants including a first participant and a second participant. A DL node of the second participant determines from a distributed ledger of the DL network a smart contract that allows sharing of radio network resources owned by the first participant; executes the smart contract to generate one or more transactions between the first participant and the second participant, where a first transaction of the transactions indicates that a first portion of the radio network resources of the first participant is shared with the second participant; and records, through a consensus mechanism, the transactions in the distributed ledger.

Abstract: A UE receives, from a first base station apparatus, system information and/or a registration accept message including a first frequency band supported by the first base station apparatus, first S-NSSAI corresponding to a first frequency band, a second frequency band supported by a second base station apparatus, and second S-NSSAI corresponding to a second frequency band. The UE recognizes that a registration request message and/or a PDU session establishment request message including the second S-NSSAI is not transmittable via the first base station apparatus, and in a case of reselecting a cell of the second base station apparatus, recognizes that the registration request message and/or the PDU session establishment request message including the first S-NSSAI is not transmittable via the second base station apparatus. This prevents, in a 5GS, transmission of a registration request message and/or PDU session establishment request message which is unnecessary.

Abstract: Solutions pertaining to spectrum sharing between a terrestrial network (TN) and a non-terrestrial network (NTN) with interference control are proposed. An apparatus implemented in a UE communicates with a non-terrestrial (NT) network node of the NTN by resource sharing with the TN. There is a requirement on either or both of a directive gain and a directive emission power with respect to a network node of the TN such that interference between TN downlink (DL) transmissions and NTN uplink (UL) transmissions is less than a threshold.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine whether a geographic location code associated with a geographic location of the UE matches a geographic location code in a received message. Based on the determination, the UE may select a non-public network (NPN) function. Additionally or alternatively, a UE may discover or select an NPN function based on determining that legal requirements, such as one or more interception conditions, are independent of the geographic location of the UE. For example, the UE may discover and one or more NPN functions according to a query performed using an NPN function identifier or an NPN identifier. The UE may determine that the NPN function selection (e.g., for a geographic location of the UE) is independent of an interception condition (e.g., associated with the geographic location of the UE).

Abstract: In a wireless communications system, such as a 5G CBRS system, a Spectrum Access System (SAS) assigns portions of the (CBRS) spectrum to associated base stations (CBSDs). In some embodiments, a central spectrum-database server receives information about spectrum allocations made by two or more different SASs operated by different companies and tabulates that information in a combined spectrum database that each SAS can independently retrieve for use in allocating bandwidth to its CBSDs. In some implementations, the messages between each SAS and multiple associated CBSDs are transmitted via a domain proxy that snoops on multiple spectrum-allocation-related messages (e.g., spectrum grant/revocation messages and/or heartbeat messages) to gather the information to be transmitted to the server, where the information does not include any company- or network-sensitive information.

Abstract: In one illustrative example, a user equipment (UE) policy may be communicated to a UE. The UE policy may be a UE Route Selection Policy (URSP) which includes a policy rule that associates an application and/or traffic thereof with a routing policy comprising an indicated radio access technology (RAT) type for 3GPP access. When the UE operates to communicate the traffic in a communication session for the application via non-3GPP access, a message which indicates an attach request with a request type indicating “handover” may be received from the UE via a selected radio access network (RAN) corresponding to the indicated RAT type. The message is for triggering a handover of the communication session for the application from the non-3GPP access to the 3GPP access. In one scenario, when Voice over NR (VoNR) is unavailable, the indicated RAT type of the routing policy may be set to indicate an E-UTRAN.
