Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for changing a layer 2 (L2) identifier (ID) during an ongoing vehicle-to-everything (V2X) session between a source wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and a peer WTRU include communicating between the source and a peer WTRUs based on an existing layer 2 (L2) identifier (ID). On a condition that a trigger event occurs, the source WTRU generates a new source L2 ID, communicates the new source L2 ID to the peer WTRU, receives from the peer WTRU a message that responds to the new source L2 ID, and communicates between the source WTRU and the peer WTRU based on the new source L2 ID.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed to implement hierarchical policies for local networks. In one representative method, a first local node may establish a dedicated local IP access (LIPA) packet data network (PDN) connection for a local service provided via a local network. The method may include responsive to a request for access to the local service, the first local node receiving a quality of service (QoS) requirement for the requested local service; sending, to a second local node, a dedicated bearer request with a specified QoS level based on a global policy and network-information specific to the local network; and receiving a dedicated bearer response with the specified QoS level.

Abstract: Embodiments contemplate the movement of mobile node (MN) from a first access network to a second access network, while in communication with a CDN server (e.g. a surrogate providing a multimedia streaming session). The server selection may become sub-optimal as a result of this movement. A first CDN may learn about MN mobility event via the MN, an access network node, the server, or another node. The first CDN may trigger reselection by upstream CDN by sending a CDNI reselection request message, including information for the upstream CDN to perform request routing for the MN with the specified content, at a different location. The upstream CDN may perform the request routing procedure. The upstream CDN may return the request routing result to first CDN. The initial server may send a redirection message back to the application, which may interpret the message and continue streaming from a different server.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for synchronizing, transforming, modifying, duplicating and retrieving media streams between wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs) that may not be IMS-capable in real-time, via Inter-User Equipment Transfer (IUT) across any internet protocol (IP) based network. This framework allows for both collaborative and non-collaborative media sessions, media session transport and shared media session control under the same subscription or multiple subscriptions.
