Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a message that includes a multi-operator core network (MOCN) frequency indicator that indicates whether an operating frequency is configured with at least one shared cell that is associated with multiple public land mobile network (PLMN) identities. The UE may perform a cell selection or reselection procedure to select a cell associated with the operating frequency based on the cell satisfying a threshold such as a quality threshold. The UE may then select, as part of the cell reselection procedure, a shared cell associated with the operating frequency based on the cell being unavailable for selection based on a PLMN identity associated with the cell, and the MOCN frequency indicator indicating that the operating frequency is configured with the at least one shared cell.

Abstract: In a method for collision event determination, a first estimated trajectory that a target object is expected to follow during a next movement period is obtained. A second estimated trajectory that a collision object is expected to follow during the next movement period is obtained. A spatial positional relationship between the first estimated trajectory and the second estimated trajectory is determined to satisfy a reference collision condition. Based on the determination that the spatial positional relationship between the first estimated trajectory and the second estimated trajectory satisfies the reference collision condition, a candidate collision space that indicates a space through which the target object is not allowed to move is determined. A collision event is determined to occur between the target object and the collision object when a plurality of candidate object positions on the first estimated trajectory include a target object position in the candidate collision space.
