Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating self-managed trust in Internet-of-Things networks are disclosed herein. An example method of trust management at a network manager includes enrolling a network endpoint with a network managed by the network manager. The example method also includes receiving trusted reference information for the network endpoint based on enrolling the network endpoint. Additionally, the example method includes performing verification of the network endpoint based on at least one of the trusted reference information or an attestation received from the network endpoint. Further, the example method includes enforcing policies to the network endpoint based on a result of the verification. Such trust management may improve privacy and security at the network, as well as reduce latency in responding to trust incidents.

Abstract: Wireless communication systems and methods related to enhancing initial access for multi-beam operations. A user equipment (UE) selects a synchronization signal block (SSB) that corresponds to a beam and has a reference signal received power (RSRP) above a threshold. The UE receives a system information block (SIB) that includes a plurality of SSB and beam-specific system information pairs. The UE selects beam-specific system information by matching the selected SSB to one of SSBs in the multiple SSB and beam-specific system information pairs. The UE establishes a connection with a base station (BS) using the beam-specific system information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. 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).

The first sidelink device may transmit the first corrected absolute time to the second sidelink device in a first message on the first sidelink connection. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support multi-secondary cell group configurations. Generally, the described techniques provide for a configuration that enables a user equipment (UE) to perform multiple conditional primary and secondary cell (PSCell) addition or change procedures.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may support dual connectivity. That is, the UE may establish communications with a master node and a secondary node of a wireless communications network. The master node may correspond to a master cell group (MCG) and the secondary node may correspond to a secondary cell group (SCG). In some examples, as described herein, the UE operating in dual connectivity may collect data for optimization of the wireless communications network or upon detecting a failure associated with the master cell group or the SCG and transmit the collected data to a network entity (e.g., one of the master node or the secondary node), where the collected data is based on the SCG being in a deactivated state. In some examples, upon receiving the collected data, the network entity may attempt to recover from the failure.

The node may also provision evaluation parameters which may allow the device to provide authenticated aggregate data to a requesting third party, without sharing the data between the devices, thus concurrently maintaining individual data privacy and data provenance.
