Abstract: Embodiments of Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications authentication are described. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) configured V2X communication and configured to operate within a fifth-generation system (5GS) and/or a combined 5GS and fourth-generation system (4GS) can encode a V2X capability indication in a request message for transmission to a network entity, such as a Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF). The V2X capability indication can indicate a capability of the UE for V2X communication over a PC5 reference point, and the request message can further include an indication of a Radio Access Technology (RAT). In some embodiments, the AMF can determine whether the UE is authorized to use the V2X communications over the PC5 reference point, and whether the UE is authorized to use the RAT indicated in the request message. Accordingly, the AMF can transmit a V2X services authorization to a next generation radio access network (NG-RAN).

Abstract: An MBS (master base station), UE (user equipment) and method operate using dual connectivity where the UE is connected to an MBS and a SBS (secondary base station). Capability information is transmitted to the MBS by the UE and indicates whether the UE supports a SCG (Secondary Cell Group) bearer and whether the UE supports a split bearer split in a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) layer of the MBS. The UE receives from the MBS a message configuring, but not simultaneously configuring, either the SCG bearer or the split bearer to the UE. Radio protocols of the SCG bearer are only located in the SBS, and radio protocols of the split bearer are located in both the MBS and the SBS. One split path of the split bearer goes via the SBS and another split path of the split bearer goes via the MBS and not via the SBS.
