Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may receive a registration message including a decode key associated with a ranging service. The UE may receive, from a second UE, an encoded value and an identifier associated with the second UE. The UE may validate the identifier using the encoded value and the decode key. The UE may establish a ranging session associated with the second UE based at least in part on validating the identifier. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: In embodiments of systems and methods for managing communication between an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and an unmanned aerial vehicle controller (UAC), the UAV may receive from an unmanned aerial system traffic management (UTM) device a command request from the UAC, including one or more destination Generic Public Subscription Identifiers (GPSIs), a control command, a data command, and a first tunnel-to-add indication. The UAV may send to the UAV via the UTM device a command response, which may include information responsive to the command request, and a second tunnel-to-add indication. The UAV may establish an application layer communication tunnel with the UAC based on the first tunnel-to-add indication and the second tunnel-to-add indication. The communication tunnel may be configured to enable further communications with the UAC.

Abstract: A suspension and optimized resumption is provided for a multi-USIM UE. The UE is configured to transmit a suspension-triggering message to a first network to begin a transition of a first USIM from an RRC_CONNECTED state to an RRC_IDLE state. A contention-free random access procedure is also disclosed for the optimized resumption of the first USIM from the RRC_IDLE state back to the RRC_CONNECTED state.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may transmit, in association with a first subscription of the UE, a tune away configuration that indicates one or more tune away parameters associated with a second subscription of the UE; tune away from a network connection associated with the first subscription according to the tune away configuration; and perform a communication procedure associated with the second subscription based at least in part on tuning away from the network connection associated with the first subscription. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, in association with a first subscription of the UE, an indication of a high priority identifier to be used for paging messages associated with the first subscription. The high priority identifier may be associated with a same set of paging occasions as a second identifier allocated to the UE for paging. The UE may tune away from a network connection associated with a second subscription of the UE and monitor one or more paging occasions associated with the high priority identifier and the second identifier based at least in part on tuning away. Accordingly, the UE may determine, using the high priority identifier, whether a high priority paging message is present for the UE based at least in part on the monitoring. Numerous other aspects are provided.

The UE is configured to transmit a suspension-triggering message to a first network to begin a transition of a first USIM from an RRC_CONNECTED state to an RRC_IDLE state. A contention-free random access procedure is also disclosed for the optimized resumption of the first USIM from the RRC_IDLE state back to the RRC_CONNECTED state.

Abstract: An IP address for a resource node may be discovered. In a method, a first client receives an IP address request. The IP address request includes destination geographical location information associated with the resource node. The first determines whether the destination geographical location information is within a geographical coverage area of the first client. The first client forwards the IP address request to a next client that is geographically closer to the resource node based on the destination geographical location information if the destination geographical location information is not within the geographical coverage area of the first client.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods of offloading user equipment communication traffic between communications drones. The methods may include receiving, at a candidate communication drone, a replacement request from a requesting communication drone. Radio frequency (RF) communication parameters may be set for the candidate communication drone to take over communications of the requesting communication drone. The RF communication parameters may be determined based on the replacement request and may distinguish the candidate communication drone from the requesting communication drone and at least one neighboring communication drone. The candidate communication drone may move toward a target position adjacent a position of the requesting communication drone without radiating RF communications for taking over communications of the requesting communication drone.
