  • Publication number: 20250030608
    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.

  • Publication number: 20250031090
    Abstract: Aspects relate to core network entities that: establish a session including at least one of: application data unit (ADU) detection rules, or ADU handling rules related to a detection of ADUs in a user plane, and determine, for one or more quality of service (QOS) flows, whether ADU awareness applies based on an application of the ADU detection rules, or the ADU handling rules; and transmit a request to create a session that supports ADU-based QoS flows, negotiate at least one of: ADU-based QoS policies, or ADU QoS rules applicable to the session, and receive an acknowledgment of creation of the session in response to completing the negotiating. A radio access network entity conveys, during a session, one or more ADUs to a user equipment via a user plane in compliance with ADU-based QoS policies associated with at least one ADU aware QoS flow.

  • Publication number: 20250024422
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for enhancing location reporting procedures to include height information of a user equipment (UE), such as an aerial UE. The location reporting procedures may be between a core network entity and an access network entity. Due to the differences in coverage regions between areal cells and terrestrial cells, aerial UEs may not fully rely on cell identifiers (IDs) as a primary location indicator due to its ambiguity (e.g., as the aerial UEs may use a side-lobe or up-tilted beam of a far-away cell that provides a cell ID while its conventional geographical location belongs to another, closer cell). Aspects of the present disclosure provides techniques for enhancing the location reporting procedures for the aerial UEs to prevent such potential errors in location reporting.

  • Patent number: 12200611
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes registering with a first public land mobile network (PLMN) of a first network operator in response to detection of an interruption event associated with a second PLMN of a second network operator; determining that the interruption event has ended; and taking one or more actions to communicate with the second PLMN in response to the ending of the interruption event, wherein taking the one or more actions to communicate with the second PLMN is based on a constraint associated with access attempts to the second PLMN.

  • Publication number: 20250016721
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may access a public land mobile network (PLMN) via a communication satellite. The UE may receive satellite coverage data from the serving PLMN via the communication satellite indicating at which locations and/or at which times satellite coverage is available. The UE may determine, based on the satellite coverage data, a first time of satellite unavailability for a location of the UE and a second time of satellite availability. The UE may enter a no coverage state following the first time. The UE may inhibit mobile originating requests and/or reduce a frequency of satellite cell searching while in the no coverage state. The UE may leave the no coverage state at the second time. The satellite coverage data may comprise a coverage map for a grid of locations. Extra coverage data may be provided for satellite availability for other PLMNs and/or for terrestrial cells.

  • Publication number: 20250008607
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be aboard an aerial vehicle such that the UE is above ground, and in some cases, moving above ground (e.g., flying). The UE may determine to perform an emergency communication procedure (e.g., an emergency call) while the UE meets one or more flying state conditions, where the one or more flying state conditions may be indicative that the UE is in a flying state. The UE may transmit a message to a base station as part of the emergency communication procedure, where the message may be indicative that the UE meets the one or more flying state conditions. The UE may participate in the emergency communication procedure while the UE is in the flying state.

  • Patent number: 12167361
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication using satellite access to a wireless network, where a wireless cell supported by a satellite is moving or temporarily fixed. In an aspect, a radio access network (RAN) entity or a user equipment (UE) provides, to a core network entity, an enhanced cell global identifier (CGI), where the enhanced CGI includes at least one field representing a location of the UE. Based on the enhanced CGI, the core network entity determines a location of the UE, and may provide a service to the UE based on the location. A core network may also provide an enhanced CGI to a RAN, e.g., to support wireless emergency alerting to UEs.

  • Publication number: 20240373361
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor for wake up signals (WUSs) from a network entity (e.g., satellite) of a non-terrestrial network based on a geographic area. For example, the UE may monitor for WUSs if the UE is within a geographic area. In other examples, a UE may monitor for WUSs according to an assigned location-based WUS group if a cell supports the WUS group. In some cases, a network entity or UE may select a WUS resource set based on a location parameter. In some cases, a network entity or UE may select a WUS group based on a location parameter. In some cases, one or more network entities may determine geographic areas where the network may use WUSs or WUS groups, or the one or more network entities may negotiate with the UE to determine such areas.
