Systems and methods of providing a V2X communications are generally described. A geographically-limited, operator-independent mapping table is used that maps between groups of V2X applications each associated with a different application category and a different RAT preferred for the V2X application category. Each grouping is based on fulfillment of one or more KP Is for the associated V2X application category. Multiple RA Ts are prioritized if able to fulfill the KP Is. The mapping table is modified based on the RATs supported by the V2X UE. Carrier aggregation is used when simultaneous transmission on different RATs is desired.

Device for and method of radio access technology selection among multiple radio access technologies

Various embodiments are generally directed to network slice selector (NSS). In one embodiment, for example, an evolved node B (cNB) may include a processor circuit, and an NSS for execution by the processor circuit to allocate a network slice (NS) to a user equipment (UE). The NS may comprise one or more virtual network function(s) (VNF). In one implementation, a VNF takes on the responsibility of handing specific network functions run on one or more virtual machines (VM) associated with hardware networking infrastructures, such as routers, switches, etc. Individual VNFs may be combined or connected together to provide a complete networking communication service for UEs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Network slice selection in network systems

System and techniques for enhanced electronic navigation maps for a vehicle are described herein. A set of map tiles may be received at a vehicle component from a remote entity. Sensor derived data that has a locality corresponding to a map tile in the set of map tiles may be obtained. A field-programmable gate array of the vehicle may then be invoked to combine the sensor derived data and the map tile to create a modified map tile. The modified map tile may be communicated to a control system of the vehicle.

Embodiments of a ProSe Direct Discovery process are described. In some embodiments, an apparatus of a user equipment (UE) is configured as a Proximity Services (ProSe) enabled UE, and may encode, for transmission over a PC3 interface to a ProSe Function in a Home Public Land Mobile Network (HPLMN), a discovery request message for an announcing procedure, including transmission of one or more announcements over a PC5 interface, wherein the discovery request message for the announcing procedure includes a PC5 technology (PC5_tech) parameter to indicate a PC5 radio technology to be used by the UE for the announcing procedure. In some embodiments, the UE may decode a discovery response message for the announcing procedure, received over the PC3 interface from the ProSe Function in the HPLMN, including a ProSe application code and the PC5_tech parameter to indicate the PC5 radio technology authorized to be used for the ProSe application code.

Technology coordination for device-to-device discovery

A communication device for multi-radio access technology (RAT) communications includes one or more processors and a plurality of transceivers. Each transceiver is configured to operate in at least one RAT of a plurality of RATs. The processors are configured to establish connection with a second communication device using a first transceiver of the plurality of transceivers and a first RAT of the plurality of RATs. A first data stream associated with a communication link connected to the second communication device and a third communication device is receive via a convergence function at the second communication device. The communication link uses a second RAT of the plurality of RATs. A code sequence is applied to a second data stream to generate an encoded second data stream, which is transmitted to the third communication device via a second communication link established based on information received via the first data stream.

V2X communications using multiple radio access technologies (multi-RAT)

A computing device includes communications circuitry to communicate with a first access network and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is to perform operations to transmit an authorization request for a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication to a V2X application function within a service coordinating entity, the request transmitted from the device via the first access network V2X configuration parameters are received from the service coordinating entity, via the first access network. The V2X configuration parameters are received in response to the authorization request and based on V2X subscription information received by the V2X application function via a V2X application programming interface (API) within the service coordinating entity. A V2X communication link for the V2X communication is established with a second device based on the V2X configuration parameters, the second device associated with a second access network.

Multi-access edge computing (MEC) based multi-operator support for C-V2X systems

Systems and methods of providing V2X communications are generally described. The multimode UE communicates V2X messages with an eNB. The eNB detects whether the UE is able to receive messages from a nearby DSRC RSU based on measurements received from the UE and reported to the eNB. Based on the measurements, the eNB offloads V2X traffic to the DSRC RSU and triggers the UE to start communicating the V2X services from the DSRC RSU rather than the eNB. The measurements are reported in a BSR or DSRC MAC control element or RRC measurement report. The measurement report includes DSRC presence fields, CCH measurements and SCH measurements for each DSRC RSU that the UE is able to detect.

Dynamic offloading of V2X services to DSRC

The discovery and establishment of communication groups is described for wireless vehicular communications. Some embodiments include receiving a registration request from a user equipment (UE) in a vehicular environment to provide services over a wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) basic service set (WBSS) in wireless channels 5 at a vehicular proximity services (ProSe) function, deciding at the ProSe function to authorize registration of the UE to provide services over the WBSS, and sending a registration response from the ProSe function confirming WBSS information to be used for the services after deciding to authorize the UE.

Discovery and establishment of communication groups for wireless vehicular communications

A method of accessing services affiliated with a service provider is disclosed. An issuer performs a bootstrap procedure with the at least one discovered service provider. The issuer performs a discovery procedure to determine available service capability layers (SCLs) supported by the at least one discovered service provider. The issuer transmits a domain name system-based service discovery (DNS-SD) query from the issuer to a DNS-SD M2M service discovery function (MSDF) server. The DNS-SD MSDF server is provisioned with SCL discovery records. The DNS-SD MSDF server is registered with a public DNS registrar entity. The SCL discovery records include, for each SCL, a type of M2M service capabilities supported by each SCL and a class of M2M services supported by each SCL. The issuer receives SCL discovery records from the DNS-SD MSDF server in response to the DNS-SD query.
