Abstract: A method for misbehaviour warnings in an intelligent transportation system (ITS) including determining at a network server that an ITS station is misbehaving. In response to determining that the ITS station is misbehaving, the network server transmits a misbehaviour warning message to the ITS station indicating that the ITS station is misbehaving. In response to transmitting the misbehaviour warning message and determining that the ITS station is continuing to misbehave, the network server includes information of the ITS station in a certificate revocation list (CRL) and transmits the CRL.

Abstract: Systems and methods to configure sidelink resources in a dual connectivity operation are provided. In some aspect, a method comprising: transmitting, from a user equipment (UE), a first message to a first evolved Node B (eNB), wherein the first message indicates a request to establish a sidelink communication; receiving, at the UE, a second message from the first eNB, wherein the second message indicates a frequency that is used by a secondary evolved Node B (SeNB); transmitting, from the UE, a measurement result to the first eNB; and receiving, at the UE, sidelink configuration information from the first eNB, wherein the sidelink configuration information indicates sidelink resources managed by the secondary eNB.

Abstract: A method at a network element for processing a first message destined for an intelligent transportation system station, the method including receiving from a sending entity, or generating, the first message at the network element; based on a source or contents of the first message, performing one of: discarding the first message; or modifying the first message to provide an indication to the intelligent transportation system station of checks the intelligent transportation system does not need to perform, thereby creating a second message; and forwarding the second message to the intelligent transportation system station.

Abstract: A method at a network element, the method including receiving at least one message at the network element, the at least one message being one or both of: an update status information message from an updates server; and an anomaly detection status information message from anomaly detection server; determining, based on the receiving the at least one message, a dynamic cybersecurity posture indication for an intelligent transportation system entity; and providing the dynamic cybersecurity posture indication for the intelligent transportation system entity to an Enrolment Authority, wherein the dynamic cybersecurity posture indication can be included in a certificate relating to the intelligent transportation system entity.

Abstract: A method for control of data transmission in a wireless communication system includes receiving, by an application, from a modem, information indicative of a radio coverage condition, where a user equipment (UE) includes the application and the modem; based on the received information, determining that the UE is in an enhanced coverage state; and in response to the determining, controlling uplink data transmission by the modem to reduce power consumption of the UE.

Abstract: A mobile communications network communicating data to/from communications devices, the network including base stations operable to provide a wireless access interface to communications devices; communications devices operable to communicate packets with the base stations via the wireless access interface; packet gateways operable to transmit user data packets received via the base stations from/to the communications devices; and mobility managers operable to send/receive signalling packets for controlling user data communications between communications devices and packet gateways. The mobility managers can, upon receiving a signalling packet from a communications device and including user data intended for a destination, detect the packet is not associated with any established signalling connection between the mobility managers and the communication device. The mobility managers can, responsive to the detection, transmit the user data in the signalling packet to the destination.

Abstract: A method at a computing device within an Intelligent Transportation System, the method comprising: determining, at the computing device, whether a short-term certificate is available to sign a message; if the short-term certificate is available, signing the message with a private key associated with the short-term certificate; if the short-term certificate is not available, signing the message with a private key associated with a long-term certificate; and sending the message to a recipient.
