Abstract: Techniques to configure a user equipment (UE) for a multi-connectivity handover with a source base station (SBS) and a target base station (TBS) include encoding a measurement report for transmission to the SBS. The measurement report is triggered based on a measurement event configured by the SBS. Radio resource control (RRC) signaling from the SBS is decoded, the RRC signaling including a handover command in response to the measurement report. The handover command includes an indication for multi-connectivity support by the SBS and the TBS during the handover. A first protocol stack associated with the SBS and a second protocol stack associated with the TBS are configured at the UE. A packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) protocol data unit (PDU) received at the UE during the handover is processed using the first protocol stack or the second protocol stack.

Abstract: A sidelink user equipment (UE) receives a group wake-up signal (WUS) from a base station and decodes the group WUS based on zone identification (ID) information of the sidelink UE. A base station transmits a wake-up signal to a group of sidelink user equipments (UEs) and transmits zone ID information to the group. A group wake-up signal parameter is a function of the zone ID information. A base station generates a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence, selects a port for a DMRS, and/or scrambles a control channel or a data channel based on a zone ID of a sidelink UE. A sidelink UE compares a zone ID of the sidelink UE with a zone ID of a neighbor UE and initiates a conditional handover to another cell when the zone ID of the sidelink UE differs from the zone ID of the neighbor UE.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for data transmission. In the method, a target alert sequence is transmitted to a network access device by using a first uplink grant-free transmission resource corresponding to the target alert sequence. The target alert sequence is configured to notify the network access device that the terminal requests to use the first uplink grant-free transmission resource to transmit uplink data. The uplink data is transmitted by using a transmission resource different from the first uplink grant-free transmission resource, when receiving a collision indication fed back by the network access device in response to the target alert sequence.

The UE may identify in-COT resources of located within the COT and out-of-COT resources located outside of the COT and then randomly select a set of transmission resources from the in-COT and out-of-COT resources. The UE may then transmit to a second UE using the set of transmission resources.

Abstract: A core network node of a first public land mobile network (PLMN) receives, from a wireless device, a requested international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) offset value for offsetting an IMSI of the wireless device. The core network node transmits, to the wireless device, an accepted IMSI offset value for offsetting the IMSI of the wireless device. First paging occasions of the first PLMN are derived using an alternative IMSI. The alternative IMSI is determined based on a sum of the IMSI of the wireless device and the accepted IMSI offset value.

Abstract: In a wireless communication network, an Edge Enablement Client (EEC) in a UE Gateway (GW) exchanges EDGE-5 signaling with a user app and exchanges EDGE-1 signaling with a Gateway Enablement Server (GES) in the GW. The GES exchanges EDGE-9 signaling with an Edge Enablement Server (EES) in an Edge Data Network (EDN) and exchanges EDGE-3 signaling with a Gateway Application Server (GAS) in the GW. The GAS exchanges user data between the user app and an Edge Application Server (EAS) in the EDN responsive to the EDGE-3 signaling. The EES exchanges additional EDGE-3 signaling with the EAS. The EAS exchanges the user data between the GAS and a network core responsive to the additional EDGE-3 signaling. The core exchanges the user with the AS and transfers network information for the exchange to a Distributed Ledger (DL) node. The DL node determines trust based on the network information.
