  • Patent number: 12389282
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a measurement configuration including trigger conditions for performance of handover procedures within a service-based wireless system. The UE may transmit a message indicating a satisfaction of a trigger condition to a source network entity, a mobility service offered by a service-based network, or both. After performance of a handover decision by the source network entity, the mobility service, or both, the mobility service may select a target network entity for the handover procedure. The mobility service may select a target network entity that supports at least one active core network service at the UE. The UE may then receive a handover command from the mobility service, and may perform a handover procedure to the target network entity.

  • Publication number: 20250247900
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques described herein may establish a delegation service that may serve as a registry for devices (e.g., user equipments (UEs) or network devices such as operations and management entities (OAMs) and service management and orchestration entities (SMOs)) to register information related to service preferences for one or more network-provided services and a list of services provided by the devices. One or more network entities may access the delegation service and may use the information to determine a service prioritization for each service. The one or more network entities may accordingly configure one or more UEs with one or more services (e.g., network- or UE-provided services) in accordance with the preference information registered in the delegation service and network or operator preference information, as well as the list of services provided by the devices.

  • Publication number: 20250247744
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) delegation service may obtain a service management message from a first device in a wireless network. The service management message may authorize the UE delegation service to negotiate a service configuration on behalf of the first device. Thus, the UE delegation service may communicate with one or more service modules on the behalf of the first device based on the service management message.

  • Publication number: 20250234267
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to support multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs) and multiple corresponding subscribers that may provide wireless services to the UE. Each of the SIMs may be associated with a corresponding protocol stack. The UE may be configured with a layer that is distinct from the protocol stack, such as a dual-steer layer. The dual-steer layer may manage the routing and steering of data traffic associated with one or more of the protocol stacks of the UE. The UE may process, via the dual-steer layer, the data traffic via one or more of the protocol stacks of the UE based on the first set of UE route selection policy (URSP) rules, traffic information associated with the data traffic, and capabilities of one or more of the protocol stacks.

  • Patent number: 12356297
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In the context of a service-based wireless system, a user equipment (UE) may communicate with one or more core network services offered by a service-based network, where respective core network services are in one of an active, inactive, or unconnected state at the UE. The UE may be configured to maintain service contexts for communicating with core network services that are in an active or an inactive state at the UE, where signaling between the UE and each respective core network service may be used to activate or deactivate the respective core network services at the UE between the active and inactive states. By maintaining service contexts for inactive core network services, the UE may be able to quickly and efficiently resume communications with a core network service in accordance with the stored service context upon activating the core network service.

  • Publication number: 20250133605
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection over a wireless local area network (WLAN) link. For example, the wireless device may transmit a packet to an access point or WLAN termination that includes an RRC container including an RRC message for establishing (e.g., setting up, resuming) a connection with a centralized unit (CU). In some examples, the wireless device may additionally or alternatively be configured with dual connectivity over a WLAN link, including the addition, modification, and release of nodes associated with different radio access technologies. In such cases, the CU may configure connectivity with the WLAN, where the CU may configure a port number for each radio bearer via an RRC message transmitted over a direct link with the wireless device (e.g., via a distributed unit) or via the WLAN link.

  • Patent number: 12279339
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a service-based network, groups of core network services may share a user equipment (UE) credential or network subscription. Signaling between a UE and a service-based network (e.g., via a distributed unit) enables the UE to establish a service context for communications with multiple core network services in a same service group. A UE may receive control signaling from the network indicating service groups offered by the service-based network. The control signaling may indicate the services included in each service group and how to access the service group. The UE may transmit an access request indicating a selected service group to the network, and in response, the network may indicate a service context for communicating with the services included in the service group. The UE may use the same service context to access the different services in the service group.

A network entity may obtain a first message indicating one or more artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML) capabilities of a user equipment (UE) and may further obtain, from an AI/ML service, a second message indicating one or more AI/ML service capabilities of the AI/ML service. The network entity may output a control message indicating one or more cross-node AI/ML configurations based on the one or more AI/ML capabilities of the UE and the one or more AI/ML service capabilities of the AI/ML service. The one or more cross-node AI/ML configurations may configure AI/ML functions of the UE for use with the AI/ML service. In some examples, life cycle management (LCM) procedures may be triggered by a UE, and the UE may transmit signaling associated with the LCM procedures (e.g., a request for LCM signaling or an indication of LCM).
