Abstract: An apparatus and system for onboarding based on UE default manufacturer credentials are described. A UE sends default manufacturer credentials and an indication to proceed with restricted onboarding to an onboarding non-public network (O-SNPN). An Onboarding Server validates the authenticity of the UE based on the manufacturer credentials and sends a certificate. The UE is provisioned with a set of roots of trust certificate information to use to authenticate the certificate using one way authentication. After authentication, the UE receives network credentials and performs mutual authentication to register with a NPN while being authenticated by a home network. The UE identity is indicated as anonymous in response to an indication by the O-SNPN for subscriber identifier privacy.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and storage media are described for the utilization of user equipment (UE) identifiers for registration in fifth generation (5G) systems. An apparatus of a user equipment includes processing circuitry to: retrieve a first 5G-GUTI from a memory; generate a registration request message that includes the first 5G-GUTI; encode the registration request message for transmission to a fifth-generation core (5GC) network of a second PLMN; receive a registration accept message that includes a second 5G-GUTI; and access the second PLMN using the second 5G-GUTI.

Abstract: An apparatus and system of providing a service registry function (SRF) and service discovery in a 6G system are described. Registration procedures are provided for a service instance on a user equipment (UE) or in the 6G system to register to the SRF with or without a service mesh. The SRF provides a list of service instances based on criteria in service discovery inquiries from the UE or network function (NF) and notifies a subscribed party about a status change of a particular service instance. The service discovery enables the UE to discover a computing service instance in the 6G system by control plane service discovery to find a service orchestration and chaining function (SOCF) and user plane service discovery to find the computing service instance.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein relate to a user equipment (UE) context management (collectively, “UCM”) function of a cellular network. The UCM may be configured to store an inactive radio network temporary identifier (I-RNTI) and context information related to a UE prior to the UE entering an RRC_INACTIVE state. The UCM may be further configured to provide, based on a request related to an RRC resume procedure of the UE, an indication of the I-RNTI and the context information. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing the provisioning of voice services to a user equipment (UE) in a fifth generation (5G) network by a base station (BS). For example, the BS receives an initial registration request message that includes 5G mobility management (5GMM) capabilities of the UE that are indicative of whether the UE supports voice over internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS), and compares the 5GMM capabilities of the UE and the capabilities of the BS. Based on the comparison, the BS can transmit a registration accept message including an indication of whether voice over IMS is approved.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for utilizing paging cause values for paging user equipment (UE). The Paging Cause may be used for the UE in an CM_IDLE state or when the UE is in an RRC_INACTIVE state. A paging cause information element is included in a paging message, and includes a paging cause value. The paging cause value indicates a type of traffic that has initiated a paging operation. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing the provisioning of voice services to a user equipment (UE) in a fifth generation (5G) network. For example, the UE generates a registration request message that includes 5G mobility management (5GMM) capabilities of the UE that are indicative of whether the UE supports voice over internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS), and transmits the registration request message to a next generation radio access network (NGRAN) node in the 5G wireless network. Based on the 5GMM capabilities, the NG-RAN node can determine whether voice over IMS can be provided to UE by comparing the 5GMM capabilities to capabilities of the NG-RAN node.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure are directed towards an apparatus including one or more processors coupled to a memory. The one or more processors are configured to perform a paging reception, when in a camped on any cell state, by processing only a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). Or perform the paging reception, when in a camped normally state, by processing a first reception of the PDCCH, and processing a second reception of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The one or more processors are further configured to receive a communication, according to the paging reception.

Abstract: A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component) can process or generate a one-step paging reception or a two-step paging reception based on being in a sub-state of an idle mode. A UE can enter into an idle state to enable a decreased power consumption of battery, and further reduce power consumption by only monitoring a PDCCH in response to operating in a camped on any cell state, and eliminate processing a paging message when in the camped on any cell state.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide for controlling the derivation of QoS rules in the UE by flexibly defining the scope of packet header fields over which packet filter derivation is performed. The scope of packet header fields for derivation of QoS rules may be provided by the network to the UE upon PDU Session establishment or modification. For PDU Session of IP type, the network indicates to the UE whether the scope of RQoS includes both the Source/Destination IP address pair and the Source/Destination Port numbers, or only the former. For PDU Session of Ethernet type, the network indicates to the UE whether the scope of RQoS includes both the Source/Destination MAC address pair and the IEEE 802.1Q tag, or only the former. The UE may indicate to the network whether it supports the flexible scope of packet filters for RQoS for a PDU session.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices for providing data query and manipulation services.

Abstract: In an example method, a user equipment (UE) determines a first identifier assigned to the UE for use on a first wireless communications network and one or more first time slots for monitoring the first wireless communication networks. The UE determines a second identifier assigned to the UE for use on a second wireless communications network and one or more second time slots for monitoring the second wireless communication networks. The UE determines that the one or more first time slots at least partially overlap the one or more second time slots, and in response, transmits to the second wireless communications network, a request for a third identifier to be assigned to the UE for use on the second wireless communications network and/or a request that the one or more second time slots be offset by an interval of time.

Abstract: A computer system that establishes a first registration and a second registration in a common wireless communication system is described. During operation, the computer system performs a first registration of the user equipment over a first access, where, after the first registration, the user equipment is connected via the first access with a first access and mobility management function (AMF). Then, the computer system performs a second registration of the user equipment over a second access, where the second access is different from the first access and, after the second registration, the user equipment is connected via the second access with a second AMF. Moreover, when performing the second registration, the computer system: transfers a context of the user equipment from the first AMF to the second AMF; and/or relocates a network interface in a control plane from the first AMF to the second AMF.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to RAN compute QoS modeling. A device may decode a compute task request message received from a user equipment (UE), the compute task request message comprising an indication of a compute task to be offloaded to the RAN and data of the compute task. The device may establish a RAN compute service function (SF) based on support initiated by a service orchestration and chaining function (SOCF). The device may establish a RAN compute bearer based on RAN compute QoS flow with the UE, wherein the RAN compute QoS flow spans between the UE, the RAN, and the RAN compute SF.
