  • Patent number: 12047266
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communications entity, such as a user equipment (UE), a base station, a network core, or an application server, may identify a round-trip time (RTT) latency requirement that may pertain to a round-trip latency in wireless communications between the UE and the base station. The wireless communications entity may identify a one one-way directional delay budget that satisfies the RTT latency requirement for an application of an application server. The application server may be in communication with the UE via the base station. The wireless communications entity may modify a value of the one-way directional delay budget and transmit a message that is associated with the modified value of the one one-way directional delay budget.

  • Publication number: 20240064830
    Abstract: Techniques described herein enable the provision of configuration information between one or more network entities of a home service provider (SP) and one or more network entities of a network such as a standalone non-public network (SNPN) to support a user equipment (UE) associated with the home SP that is visiting the SNPN. For example, the configuration information may enable the UE to access or use services provided by the home SP. In some aspects, the configuration information may include a proxy call session control function address, tunneling information, or the like. In this way, functions are supported for a UE visiting an SNPN despite a home SP that provides the functions not having a session management function (SMF) for signaling of configuration information supporting the functions. Thus, the interconnection of SNPNs and home SP networks is improved.

  • Publication number: 20230370964
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment, UE, may identify (305) that the UE is not connected with a first network to which the UE subscribes, and identify a fallback configuration (310). The UE may determine (315), based on the fallback configuration, a second network of one or more other networks with which the UE is to connect. The UE may attempt (320) to connect with the second network based on the fallback configuration and the UE not being connected with the first network. In some cases, a base station of a network may establish a connection with UEs based on receiving registration messages from the UEs in response to transmitting an indication that the network is available as a fallback network, identify a congestion level of the network and switch to a non-subscriber rejection mode in which the base station rejects connection with non-subscriber UEs.
