Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station (BS), a paging communication while the UE is in an inactive mode or an idle mode. The UE may transmit, to the BS and based at least in part on receiving the paging communication, a first communication as part of a random access channel (RACH) procedure. The UE may receive, from the BS and based at least in part on transmitting the first communication, a second communication that includes mobile-terminated downlink data, an indication of an uplink resource, and a radio resource control (RRC) release message. The RRC release message may cause the UE to remain in the inactive mode or the idle mode while receiving the mobile-terminated downlink data. The UE may transmit mobile-originated uplink data using the uplink resource. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may select a random access message type for establishing connectivity with a core network, the selecting between a first random access message type associated with a non-terrestrial radio access technology and a second random access message type associated with a terrestrial radio access technology. The UE may transmit, during or after a random access procedure to establish a connection with the core network, a random access message in accordance with the selected random access message type. The UE may communicate with the core network via the connection.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to communicating with one or more cells for receiving a multicast and/or broadcast service (MBS), and providing MBS continuity in device mobility scenarios. In an aspect, one or more cells for reselection from a current cell can be detected, where the current cell supports a UE interested MBS. The one or more cells can be evaluated for reselection based at least in part on whether the one or more cells support the UE interested MBS to determine a target cell for reselection. Cell reselection can be performed to the target cell.

Abstract: Aspects relate to communication via multiple network slice services. A user equipment may support multiple network slice services (e.g., defined sets of network services and/or resources). At some point in time, the user equipment may communicate using a first network slice service provided by a first radio network entity (e.g., a first distributed unit, a first cell, a first base station, etc.). In addition, at some point in time, the user equipment may elect to use a second network slice service. In the event the first radio network entity is not available for the second network slice service, the user equipment may switch to a second radio network entity (e.g., a second distributed unit, a second cell, a second base station, etc.) to communicate using the second network slice service.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive information identifying a set of network slice specific cell selection evaluation parameters, wherein the set of network slice specific cell selection evaluation parameters include one or more parameter values associated with a characteristic of a type of cell selection that is to be performed. The UE may perform the type of cell selection in accordance with the set of network slice specific cell selection evaluation parameters. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to on-demand ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (URLLC) are provided. In one embodiment, a base station (BS) receives, from a user equipment (UE) in a first cell frequency, a request for a protocol data unit (PDU) session over a network slice. The BS receives, from a core network entity, a resource configuration request for the PDU session over the network slice. The BS transmits, to the core network entity, a resource configuration response indicating a cause for rejecting the resource configuration request. In one embodiment, a UE transmits, in a first cell frequency of a network, a network registration request message requesting a network slice of the network that is not provided by the first cell frequency. The UE receives a network registration response message indicating the network slice is allowed based on a second cell frequency of the network providing the network slice requested.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In a service-based network, groups of core network services may share a user equipment (UE) credential or network subscription. Signaling between a UE and a service-based network (e.g., via a distributed unit) enables the UE to establish a service context for communications with multiple core network services in a same service group. A UE may receive control signaling from the network indicating service groups offered by the service-based network. The control signaling may indicate the services included in each service group and how to access the service group. The UE may transmit an access request indicating a selected service group to the network, and in response, the network may indicate a service context for communicating with the services included in the service group. The UE may use the same service context to access the different services in the service group.

The apparatus may register with an available NPN, of the set of NPNs, based at least in part on the time condition or the location condition being met for the available NPN. Numerous other aspects are described.
