Aspects are provided which allow an MA PDU session to establish over two 3GPP accesses respectively via different PLMNs associated with respective USIMs of a MUSIM device. During registration, the MUSIM UE may transmit a registration request to a base station of a first PLMN indicating a UE capability for a MA PDU session associated with a MUSIM device. The MA PDU session includes a plurality of PDU sessions associated with a single access type. Afterwards, the UE may transmit a PDU session establishment request for a first PDU session of the PDU sessions in the first PLMN and for a second PDU session of the PDU sessions in a second PLMN, where the first PLMN is associated with a first USIM of the UE, and the second PLMN is associated with a second USIM of the UE. Consequently, MA PDU sessions associated with MUSIM devices may be established.

Multi-access PDU sessions for multi-USIM devices

An apparatus for wireless communication includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to send a data session establishment request to establish a data session with a network device using a wireless communication network. The data session establishment request has a first field to indicate a requested network slice for the data session. The processor is further to receive an indication of a granted network slice for the data session and to receive an indication of a back-off timer value from the network device. The processor is further configured, after expiration of a back-off timer based on the back-off timer value, to send a first message associated with the granted network slice and to send a second message having a second field corresponding to the first field of the data session establishment request.

Apparatus and method of wireless communication based on a back-off timer

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may coordinate and improve data flows between wireless communication networks based on messaging between a modem processor and an application processor. In a first example, the modem processor may control the splitting of traffic between a first wireless communication network (e.g., a cellular network) and a second wireless communication network (e.g., a Wi-Fi network). The modem processor may establish a multiple access session (e.g., a multiple access protocol data unit session) that includes a session for each wireless communication network, and route traffic (e.g., communications with a network entity) based on access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) rules. In a second example, the application processor may control the traffic splitting. The application processor may obtain the ATSSS rules from the modem processor, and route traffic accordingly.

Techniques for data transmission management

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes: operating in a Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA) mode or a Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) mode in which a first subscriber identity module (SIM) is designated as a default data subscription (DDS); determining a recommendation to change the DDS from the first SIM to a second SIM at a modem; informing a user of the recommendation to change the DDS; changing the DDS in response to, at least in part, the recommendation and an input from the user; updating a first state variable to indicate a state of the DDS; and routing internet data to the second SIM.

Management of default data subscription (DDS) in multi-subscriber identity module devices

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first edge application server (EAS) discovery message from an application client that is external to the UE. The UE may transmit a second EAS discovery message to an edge enabler server (EES) based at least in part on the first EAS discovery message. The UE may receive, from the EES, an EAS response message. The EAS response message may indicate a failure of a discovery request associated with the application client or the EAS response message may indicate an EAS associated with the application client. The UE may transmit an indication of the failure of the discovery request or an indication of the EAS to the application client. Numerous other aspects are described.

Application client and edge application server discovery with service authorization and location service

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for identifying edge application servers (EASs) to support one or more services of an application client (AC) running on a user equipment (UE). An AC of a UE may send a request for an edge enabler client (EEC) of the UE to identify one or more EASs for one or more services of the AC. The EEC may receive the request and may perform an EAS discovery procedure to identify the one or more EASs. The EEC may then send a response to the AC including identifiers of the one or more EASs (e.g., if the EAS discovery procedure indicated that these EASs are available). Once the AC receives the response, the AC may connect to each EAS of the EASs indicated by the EEC to support a corresponding service of the AC.

Server availability checking for edge computing services

A method includes monitoring, at an upper layer of the UE, PDU activity for one or more PDU sessions that are associated with one or more DNNs. The method includes determining that each of the one or more PDU sessions has a period of inactivity based on at least one of an expiration of an activity check timer, accumulated inactivity cycles, or a dormancy indication associated with each of the one or more PDU sessions. The method includes indicating, to a lower layer of the UE, to provide UE assistance information to a base station for a RRC connection release between the UE and the base station.

Extending UE fast dormancy at upper layers

A UE may include one or more application processors and a modem processor. The modem processor may include flow priority engine configured to receive, from the one or more application processors, requests for determining priority treatment of one or more packet filters of one or more uplink transmissions and transmit the one or more uplink transmissions to a base station based on priorities of the one or more uplink transmissions. The priorities of the uplink transmissions may be determined based on at least one of the requests for priority treatment received from the one or more application processors, mapping of uplink transmissions to radio bearers, the priorities of the radio bearers, or one or more configuration rules.

Method and apparatus for prioritizing uplink or downlink flows in multi-processor device

A method is provided. The method may be performed by a UE. The method includes attempting to attach to or to perform a tracking area update in an EPS network to obtain voice services for a number of times. The method includes starting a modified timer based on a failure to attach to or to perform the tracking area update in an EPS network for the number of times and based on a configuration parameter. The modified timer may be modified based on a default timer. The method includes keeping an S1 mode enabled when starting the modified timer. The method includes attempting to obtain the voice services based on one or more access technologies other than EPS. The method includes attaching to or performing a tracking area update in the EPS network to obtain voice services based on the modified timer.

IMS voice support in network using EPS fallback and having 4G coverage holes

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a cellular modem may transmit, to an applications processor, an indication to use a non-Third Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) interworking function (N3IWF) for non-access stratum (NAS) signaling. Accordingly, the cellular modem may establish a first virtual interface with the applications processor. The cellular modem may further perform an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) procedure with a core network using the first virtual interface and the N3IWF and transmit a key generated during the IKE procedure to the applications processor. Numerous other aspects are described.

Non-access stratum signaling over a non-3GPP network

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A UE may establish a wireless communication link with a base station in accordance with a radio access technology (RAT), and an internet connection with the base station. The UE may identify a lack of support by a network that includes the base station for a type of voice calls associated with the RAT. The UE may transmit a discovery query for a gateway to a core network, and the UE may establish a connection with the gateway via the internet connection. The UE may initiate a voice call via a call path from the UE to the core network, where the call path may include the wireless communications link with the base station in accordance with the RAT and also may include the internet connection with the gateway.

Gateway-based voice calls via a base station

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for tracking network traffic for local area network (LAN) subnets in a wireless wide area network (WWAN). In some implementations, a UE of the WWAN may assign a unique public IP address to each router of the LAN. The UE may transmit network traffic received from the LAN to the WWAN. The network traffic originating from any router of the LAN may be associated with the unique public IP address that was assigned to that router. The WWAN may use the unique public IP addresses to generate network traffic information that may indicate amounts of network traffic flowing from each router of the LAN. The WWAN, for example, may use the network traffic information to determine billing information for any router in the LAN.

Tracking network traffic of local area network (LAN) subnets in a wireless wide area network (WWAN)

Techniques for managing access combinations for multiple access protocol data unit (PDU) sessions are described. A communication device may receive control signaling indicating a configuration for a multiple access PDU session associated with a plurality of access links. The plurality of access links may be associated with a first type of access, a second type of access, or a combination thereof. The communication device may select a mode for allocation of a data flow associated with the multiple access PDU session to the plurality of access links based at least in part on the received control signaling. The communication device may allocate the data flow associated with the multiple access PDU session to the plurality of access links based at least in part on the selected mode, and transmit the allocated data flow over the plurality of access links associated with the two types of access.

Techniques for managing access combinations for multiple access protocol data unit sessions

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that the UE is connected to a wireless network on a first carrier frequency in a first frequency range that is associated with a lower data rate than a second carrier frequency in a second frequency range. In some aspects, the first frequency range may be associated with a first version of a radio access technology (RAT) and the second frequency range may be associated with a second version of the RAT. The UE may determine a bandwidth metric associated with the first carrier frequency in the first frequency range. The UE may display a first visual indicator associated with the first version of the RAT or a second visual indicator associated with the second version of the RAT based on the bandwidth metric. Numerous other aspects are described.
