Abstract: Prioritization and selection of signals and associated cells can be managed. User equipment module (UEM) of user equipment (UE) can determine a context associated with a communication session based on analyzing usage behavior information relating to usage behavior, and profile information relating to a profile, associated with the UE. The profile information can be determined by a core module based on information relating to the network or previous communication sessions. Based on analysis results, including context, UEM can determine a characteristic, other than signal strength, that can be more heavily weighted over other characteristics associated with UE or network to facilitate determining which cell, of a cell group, the UE is to connect to for the communication session. UEM can determine and select the cell of the cell group to which the UE is to connect, based on the context and the highest weighted characteristic.

The RSE can propagate vehicle node data, comprising direction, speed, or estimated time of arrival, to other vehicles and/or other RSEs. Consequently, this propagation of data prior to the communication between nodes can facilitate an efficient authentication system.
