  • Publication number: 20250142305
    Abstract: A network node, e.g., an edge configuration server (ECS), associated with a first PLMN may receive a first message from a WTRU. The first message may indicate a request to be notified if a type of network node, e.g., an ECS, becomes available to be accessed by the WTRU. The network node may receive a second message from a second network node. The second message may indicate an identity of a second PLMN and may indicate that the WTRU has become registered with the second PLMN. The network node may determine that a third network node of the type of network node, e.g., an ECS, is available to be accessed by the WTRU in the second PLMN. The network node may determine local breakout (LBO) information for the WTRU to establish a LBO packet data unit (PDU) session in the second PLMN and access the third network node.

  • Publication number: 20250142334
    Abstract: A base station device may include a processor and memory. The base station device may be configured to receive a registration request from a WTRU. The registration request may include an indication that the WTRU is requesting access to a private network. The base station device may send the registration request to a network node. The base station device may receive an identifier of the WTRU from a network node. The base station device may determine whether the WTRU is authorized to access the private network based on the received identifier of the WTRU and a list of allowed device identifiers for the private network. The base station device may send authorization information and an indication that the WTRU has been authorized to access the private network to the network node. The base station device may forward a registration accept message to the WTRU.

  • Publication number: 20250126657
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for handling connection rejects via a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)-to-WTRU (U2U) relay associated with backoff times on behalf of a source end WTRU. A relay WTRU may retry to establish connection with a target WTRU on behalf of a source WTRU, for example, based on receiving a rejection (e.g., with a backoff value) from the target WTRU. The source WTRU may associate the reject message to the target WTRU, and the relay WTRU may be available to reach other target WTRUs. The relay WTRU may send a reject message to other source WTRUs (e.g., if the back off duration is active, running) for the same target WTRU.

  • Publication number: 20250071637
    Abstract: A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to transmit on a first interface and determine to transmit on a second interface. The WTRU may receive configuration information. For example, the configuration information may include a path switching capability indication, a path switching policy, and an information sharing method indication. Based on the configuration information, the WTRU may determine to perform a path switch. In response to determining to perform a path switch, the WTRU may retrieve certain information associated with a peer WTRU. The WTRU may transmit, based on the retrieved information, a path switch request to the peer WTRU. The WTRU may receive a response to the path switch request. If the response indicates that the path switch request has been accepted by the peer WTRU, the WTRU may perform a communication path switch from the first interface to a second interface.

  • Patent number: 12238585
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to early detection and indication of a Quality-of-Service (QoS) non-fulfillment in one or more radio links serving an application. A client device monitors for a QoS non-fulfillment in the one or more radio links based on a QoS monitoring configuration associated with the application. The QoS monitoring configuration may be received from a network node and/or derived based on a predefined rule. Upon detection of a QoS non-fulfillment of one or more QoS requirements obtained from the QoS monitoring configuration, the client device provides a QoS non-fulfillment indication to the application. The QoS non-fulfillment indication gives the application an early warning about QoS non-fulfillment on the one or more radio links. Thereby, allowing the application to take precautionary actions to counteract possible negative consequences of the QoS non-fulfillment. Furthermore, the disclosure also relates to corresponding methods and a computer program.
