Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive an indication of EDT configuration information. The device may determine (e.g., based on application information, for example application layer information) that a first uplink EDT transmission is triggered for first uplink data. The application layer information may indicate an early data complete response is not required for the first uplink EDT transmission. The device may determine, based on the trigger, an EDT completion response mode to apply based on the received indication. The device may send the first uplink EDT transmission (e.g., including first uplink data) to a network to indicate that no response is expected for the first uplink EDT transmission, and a completion response mode. The device may determine that a completion indication from the network has not been detected before a time threshold. The device may, based on the lack of detection, continue operation in accordance with an idle condition and monitor for a paging message.

A remaining portion of the payload of the current uplink control channel may be flexibly utilized for other control information.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide an elastic architecture for providing a service in a computing system. To perform a service on the data messages, the service architecture uses a service node (SN) group that includes one primary service node (PSN) and zero or more secondary service nodes (SSNs). The service can be performed on a data message by either the PSN or one of the SSN. However, in addition to performing the service, the PSN also performs a load balancing operation that assesses the load on each service node (i.e., on the PSN or each SSN), and based on this assessment, has the data messages distributed to the service node(s) in its SN group. Based on the assessed load, the PSN in some embodiments also has one or more SSNs added to or removed from its SN group. To add or remove an SSN to or from the service node group, the PSN in some embodiments directs a set of controllers to add (e.g., instantiate or allocate) or remove the SSN to or from the SN group.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes a transceiver configured to receive a message including a layer 1/layer 2 (L1/L2)-triggered mobility (LTM) configuration. The LTM configuration includes a plurality of LTM candidate cells. The UE further includes a processor operably coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to determine that a T304 timer or a T310 timer has expired, and based on the determination that the T304 timer or the T310 timer has expired, initiate a radio resource control (RRC) re-establishment procedure and start an RRC reestablishment (T311) timer. The processor is further configured to, while the T311 timer is running, select a cell, determine whether the LTM configuration includes an indication to perform LTM cell switch to the selected cell, and determine whether the selected cell is one of the plurality of LTM candidate cells in the LTM configuration.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide, in a system that uses multiple radio link types for different networks within the system, methods for selecting more than one radio link type for transmission and acknowledgement of a signal to overcome a problem of mismatch of RTT of signaling over the different radio link types. As a particular example, in an integrated system including both a terrestrial network (TN) portion and a non-terrestrial network (NTN) portion, after an original signal is transmitted over the NTN portion, acknowledgement of the original signal, and retransmissions as necessary, can be carried out over the NT portion.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may receive, from a time-sensitive networking (TSN) application function (AF), a first request for a parameter at a device-side TSN translator (DS-TT) associated with the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device may generate a cause code that indicates that the parameter is supported but not available, if the parameter is not available. The wireless communication device may transmit the cause code to the TSN-AF. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Techniques for a TCP proxy to communicate over a LEO satellite network on behalf of a client device by selecting a TCP congestion-control algorithm that is optimal for the LEO satellite network based on the time of day and/or location of the TCP proxy. Based on the locations of satellites during the day as they traverse predefined and patterned orbital paths, different TCP congestion-control algorithms may be more optimized to communicate data through the LEO satellite network. However, client devices generally use a single TCP congestion-control algorithm to communicate over WAN networks. Accordingly, a TCP proxy may be inserted on, for example, a router to communicate with the client device using a TCP congestion-control algorithm that the client device is configured to use, but then communicate over the LEO satellite network using a different TCP congestion-control algorithm that is optimal based on the time of day and/or other factors.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for handling QoE report in a secondary node in a wireless communication system is provided. An SN transmits, to a UE, a configuration for Quality of Experience (QoE) measurement. The QoE measurement is initiated by an Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) and/or a master node (MN). An SN receives, from the UE, a QoE report based on the configuration. An SN determines whether to forward the QoE report to (i) a Trace Collection Entity (TCE) and/or a Measurement Collection Entity (MCE) and/or (ii) the MN, based on which entity among the OAM and/or the MN initiates the QoE measurement. An SN forwards the QoE report based on the determination.
