A method implemented in a Wireless Transmit/Receive Unit, WTRU, for selecting a local network for the WTRU to join includes storing steering of roaming, SoR, information for a plurality of local service hosting networks, wherein the SoR information includes an indication of a priority order in a list of network identifiers, switching to an access mode for network searching, searching for a local service hosting network to join from among the plurality of local service hosting networks, and selecting a local service hosting network to join based on the indication of the priority order in the list of network identifiers. The method may further include updating the SoR information during any one or more of a periodic procedure or a mobility registration procedure.

Methods and apparatus for steering a wireless/transmit receive unit between multiple wireless networks

Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products may be used to communicate with a wireless network. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to multiplex the transmission of measurement data, as control plane data, between the WTRU and a network entity via a first wireless path and the transmission of measurement data, as user plane data, between the WTRU and the network entity via a second wireless path. Switching to/from the second wireless path may be based on a state of the first wireless path, a state of the network, a state of the WTRU and/or an amount of measurement data to be communicated by the WTRU or which has been communicated by the WTRU.

Methods, apparatus and systems for multiplexing sensing and measurement data between control plane and user plane

A method implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit includes transmitting a first request message for requesting a list of applications available to the wireless transmit/receive unit in a multi-access edge computing system and receiving a first response message indicating the list of available applications, and, for at least one application, any of a supported latency, a supported bandwidth, a supported reliability, a supported jitter and a supported path redundancy A second request message is transited indicating any of a requested latency, a requested bandwidth, a requested reliability, a requested jitter and a requested path redundancy, based on any of the indicated supported latency, the indicated supported bandwidth, the indicated supported reliability, the indicated supported jitter and the indicated supported path redundancy. A second response message is received indicating any of a provided latency, a provided bandwidth, a provided reliability, a provided jitter and a provided path redundancy.

Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to wireless transmit/receive unit based joint selection and configuration of multi-access edge computing host and reliable and available wireless network

Methods and apparatus for performing local lifecycle management with distributed Service Function Chaining (SFC) control are disclosed. In an example, a method for wireless communications includes determining, in a Service Function Chain, that a first SFC controller of a set of SFC controllers is a primary SFC controller, determining whether at least one trigger condition is satisfied, and selecting, from the set of SFC controllers, a second SFC controller as the primary SFC controller to substitute the first SFC controller based on the at least one trigger condition being satisfied.

Methods and apparatus for performing local lifecycle management with distributed SFC control

A method performed by a WTRU may comprise receiving context information from infrastructure equipment and selecting a SLAP quadrant for MAC address allocation. The selecting may be based on the context information received from the infrastructure equipment, which may be a bootstrapping server for the WTRU. The method may further comprise transmitting, to a DHCP server, a DHCP message indicating the selected SLAP quadrant. In response to the transmitted DHCP message, a MAC address may be received and configured to the WTRU. Context information includes, but is not limited to, a number of nodes in a network, a type of network deployment, a type of network, a mobility configuration, a type of device management, a battery lifetime, a location or privacy configuration.

Methods for specifying the type of MAC address with dynamic assignment mechanisms

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), comprising a memory, and a processor to execute instructions from the memory, wherein the processor is configured to access a non-3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Access Network (AN), establish a link with a Non-3GPP Interworking Function (N3IWF) via the non-3GPP AN, request information from the N3IWF about network slicing capabilities of a 3GPP Radio Access Network (RAN), receive information from the N3IWF about network slicing capabilities of the 3GPP RAN, and determine whether to register with the 3GPP RAN based upon the network slicing capabilities of the 3GPP RAN. Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described for sending information about network slicing capabilities of a 3GPP RAN to a N3IWF, establishing a link between a WTRU operating on a non-3GPP AN and the N3IWF via the non-3GPP AN, and sending information from the N3IWF to the WTRU about network slicing capabilities of the 3GPP RAN.
