  • 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.
