Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and/or a master node may use configurations to resume communications with one or more cells of a dual connectivity (DC) or carrier aggregation (CA) scheme. In some cases, the configuration may be used for a secondary cell group (SCG) of the DC scheme. This configuration may include the UE applying a previously stored configuration for the SCG (e.g., including higher-layer and lower-layer configurations of a last serving SN of the DC scheme) if it determines the previously stored configuration is valid. Additionally or alternatively, the configuration may include the network using a previous SCG configuration or reconfiguring the SCG and transmitting this indication in a resume communications message to the UE. In some cases, the network may determine this configuration based on assistance information or reports generated from the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive synchronization messages from a public cell that indicates synchronization information. The UE may input information received from the one or more synchronization messages into one or more functions provisioned at the UE to derive a set of control resources associated with a private cell. The UE may monitor the set of control resources to receive encrypted system information from the private cell. The UE may decrypt the system information of the private cell by deriving a cell specific broadcast key associated with the private cell. In some examples, the UE may derive the cell specific broadcast key based on the one or more functions provisioned at the UE. As such, the UE may transmit to the private cell via the set of control resources a random access message indicating successful decryption of the system information.

Abstract: In an aspect, a wireless node performs a first RSRP measurement of an RS-P based on a first set of samples within a first time window of an RS-P symbol or resource, and determines whether a spoofing attack is associated with RS-P based on the first RSRP measurement and one or more other RSRP measurements of one or more other sets of samples within one or more earlier time windows of the RS-P symbol or resource. The wireless node transmits, to a communications device (e.g., position estimation entity), an indication (e.g., in a measurement report) of the spoofing attack determination. The communications device performs at least one action based at least in part upon the indication of the spoofing attack determination.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may establish a user plane adaptation protocol (UPAP) with a second wireless device. Accordingly, when generating a message to transmit to the second wireless device, the first wireless device may use a UPAP layer entity to insert a main header and/or one or more service headers onto network layer traffic. The main header may be common to multiple deployments and the service header may be unique to each deployment and/or to each packet. The one or more service headers may be used to perform Quality of Service (QOS) handling, to expose UPAP programmability to services and gateway, to perform on-path header updates, to indicate instructions or rules, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a dual connectivity configuration for a plurality of communication links, where at least one communication link of the plurality of communication links includes a sidelink. The UE may transmit a report based on an event associated with the sidelink. In some cases, the UE may determine the event associated with the sidelink based on identifying an activation of the at least one additional sidelink carrier, establishing a relay communication link between the UE and a relay network node, measuring a set of path loss values, determining a minimum path loss value of the measured set of path loss values, determining a backoff value for one or more sidelink carriers, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify that the UE is operating in a dual-connectivity configuration with a master node (MN) and a secondary node (SN). The UE may receive at least one request that the UE report MDT measurements. The UE may perform a first portion of measurements associated with the first base station and perform a second portion of measurements associated with the second base station. The UE may perform the measurements while the UE is operating in the dual-connectivity configuration. The UE may transmit one or more reports including information indicative of the first portion of measurements, information indicative of the second portion of measurements, or both.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Private keys may be maintained upstream in a network at a more secure location. For example, when a signature is needed, a base station may transmit a signing request to a signing function within the core network and may transmit system information (SI) to be protected. The signing function may use a private key to generate a signature for the SI and returns the signature to the base station. The base station may transmit the SI and the signature to user equipment (UEs) within a coverage area of the base station. The UEs may obtain a public key corresponding to the private key and may use the public key to verify that the signature for the SI is valid and from the base station. The public key, and hence the signature, may correspond to a particular tracking area.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for remote user equipment (UE) discovery and link establishment for reduced capability UE are described. In some examples, a relay UE may transmit one or more discovery messages associated with establishing a sidelink relay communication link between the relay UE and a remote UE having a reduced communication bandwidth capability relative to the relay UE. In such examples, the relay UE may perform a communication bandwidth configuration procedure with the remote UE based on the remote UE having the reduced communication bandwidth capability relative to the relay UE. In some examples, the relay UE and the remote UE may establish, in accordance with the communication bandwidth configuration procedure, the sidelink relay communication link between the relay UE and the remote UE using a reduced communication bandwidth that is less than a full communication bandwidth allocated for the relay UE.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless positioning. In an aspect, a network node transmits, to a network entity, a request for transmission of one or more first positioning reference signals (PRS) resources having one or more physical layer security properties, and measures the one or more first PRS resources having the one or more physical layer security properties. In an aspect, a network entity receives, from a first network node, a request for transmission of one or more first positioning reference signals (PRS) resources having one or more physical layer security properties, and transmits, to a second network node, a request for the second network node to transmit the one or more first PRS resources having the one or more physical layer security properties to the first network node.

An access and mobility management function (AMF) proxy may establish a first communication link between the AMF proxy and a first radio access network (RAN) associated with a first network operator, a second communication link between the AMF proxy and a first AMF associated with the first network operator, and a third communication link between the AMF proxy and a second AMF associated with a second network operator. The AMF proxy may the receive a message from the first RAN that includes a source identifier (ID) associated with a network entity of the first RAN and a target AMF ID. Following, the AMF proxy may transmit the message to the first AMF or transmit the message to the second AMF, based on the target AMF ID corresponding to the first AMF or the target AMF ID corresponding to the second AMF.

An access and mobility management function (AMF) proxy may establish a first communication link between a radio access network (RAN) of a first network operator and a first AMF of the first network operator via the AMF proxy and a second communication link between the RAN of the first network operator and a second AMF of a second network operator via the AMF proxy. The AMF proxy may receive a message from the RAN via the first communication link or the second communication link directed towards a target proxy endpoint address of the first AMF or of the second AMF. As such, the AMF proxy may transmit the message from the RAN to the first or to the second AMF based on a mapping between a set of target proxy endpoint addresses, and one or more source proxy endpoint addresses.

Some aspects provide for receiving a first frame comprising one or more packets, determining that a portion of one or more packets is truncated, and determining whether to ignore as padding at least the truncated portion of the one or more packets of the first frame.

Abstract: In some wireless systems (e.g., 5G new radio (NR) systems), a user equipment (UE) may experience coexistence interference when using collocated radio transceivers to simultaneously communicate using different radio access technologies (RATs). To mitigate the coexistence interference, the UE may transmit a configuration request to a base station, where the configuration request may identify that the UE is operating on multiple RATs and identify that the UE is experiencing coexistence interference. Aspects of the present disclosure may further provide techniques for coexistence interference mitigation in wideband systems by allowing the UE to indicate the specific bandwidth parts (BVVPs) that are impacted by IDC interference to the base station such that the network can resolve the IDC interference by reconfiguring the bandwidth, instead of performing inter-frequency handover or removing/deactivating affected SCells.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An access and mobility management function (AMF) may register a configuration of one or more RAN entities to a network repository function (NRF). The AMF may register information associated with a device with a UDM. A network data analytics function (NWDAF) may perform RAN discovery via the NRF, the UDM, or both. The NWDAF may receive an analytics request from a device, and the NWDAF may query the NRF, the UDM, or both for information about one or more targets of the analytics request, and the NWDAF may receive such information from the NRF, the UDM, or both. The NWDAF may transmit a data collection request to the RAN and the NWDAF may receive data back from the RAN.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided that improve data packet exchange between a UE in an inactive mode and a network. In certain configurations, the apparatus may receive, from a user equipment (UE) in an active mode, a first packet including a first identifier associated with an anchor base station, a second identifier associated with a UE context, and a payload. The apparatus may identify the anchor base station based at least in part on one or more of the first identifier associated with the anchor base station or the second identifier associated with the UE context. The apparatus may transmit a second packet to the anchor base station. The second packet may include at least a portion of the first packet.

Abstract: A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided for a network entity. The network entity receives an analytics request from a consumer, the analytics request indicating at least one analytic and determines one or more network data analytics functions (NWDAFs) for the analytics request based on the at least one analytic indicated in the analytics request. A consumer sends an analytics request to a network entity including one or more analytics identifiers. The consumer receives, from the network entity, a response to the analytics request including an analytics output from one or more NWDAFs based on the analytics identifier(s) included in the analytics request. An NWDAF sends an analytics identifier registration to a network entity indicating one or more analytics supported by the NWDAF. Then, the NWDAF receives an analytics request(s) from consumer(s) via the network entity based on the NWDAF supporting an analytic in the analytics request.

For example, a process may include method for wireless communications, comprising: determining a first device is separated with respect to a second device associated with the first device; generate tag information associated with a public key; and based on the determination that the first device is separated, broadcast the tag information.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for a service-based cell reselection by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE may have a service relationship with a particular service. A wireless communication system may provide different types of services via different radio frequencies. The UE may determine which cells to measure for cell reselection to include those that correspond to a service of interest to the UE. In addition to power savings, the UE may experience faster cell reselection for a service. The techniques of this disclosure also may enable a priority-based cell reselection so that the UE can camp on a cell that supports a higher priority service compared to other services supported by the UE.
