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 communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and a base station may determine whether the UE is inside or outside of a vehicle with a relay device. Techniques for determining whether the UE is inside or outside of the vehicle are described herein. The UE may determine whether to camp on a cell of the relay device based on whether the UE is inside or outside the vehicle. The base station may perform connected mode mobility for the UE based on whether the UE is inside or outside the vehicle.

Techniques for efficient mobility using relay devices

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. To communicate using non-restricted radio capabilities, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a UE capability message to a network (e.g., via a base station) that indicates a set of radio capabilities that the UE may use to communicate. The network may identify subscription information for the UE and may determine one or more restricted radio capabilities of the set of radio capabilities based on the subscription information for the UE. The network may transmit a message to the UE that includes a radio capability modification indication indicating the one or more restricted radio capabilities and a UE radio capability identifier corresponding to the subset of radio capabilities of the set of radio capabilities that are not restricted. The UE may receive the message, identify the restricted radio capabilities, and communicate with the network using the subset of non-restricted radio capabilities.

Network-controlled disabling of user equipment (UE) radio capabilities

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes performing a mobility procedure to establish a connection in a target radio access technology (RAT) while maintaining a context established in a source RAT, wherein one of the source RAT or target RAT is a terrestrial network (TN) RAT and the other is a non-terrestrial network (NTN) RAT and sending a tracking area update (TAU) request after establishing the connection in the target RAT.

Handover between terrestrial network and nonterrestrial network

Disclosed are techniques for communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) connects to a first network, the first network associated with a first single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI), and displays a human-readable identifier associated with the first S-NSSAI on a user interface of the UE.

Human readable name per slice identifier

A method of wireless communication performs a public land mobile network (PLMN) search for a higher priority PLMN. The PLMN search includes a candidate PLMN having a different mobile country code (MCC) than a serving PLMN. The method switches to the higher priority PLMN when the PLMN search locates the higher priority PLMN. A method determines whether a user equipment (UE) has transitioned between an international area and a national area. The method triggers PLMN selection in response to the UE having transitioned between the international area and the national area.

Wireless network selection in international areas

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for optimizing procedures to update a UE radio capability ID (URCID) when a UE moves to a new Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) within a registration area. The techniques may help avoid unnecessary signaling traffic and reduce UE power consumption. An example method performed by a user equipment (UE) generally includes receiving at least one URCID assigned by a first PLMN; and taking one or more actions to delay or avoid updating the URCID when moving to a second PLMN in a same registration area as the first PLMN.

Delaying UE radio capability ID (URCID) update for EPLMN

Certain aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes receiving a public warning system (PWS) message, wherein the PWS message includes information associated with at least one program provided via a multimedia service, and retrieving the at least one program via the multimedia service based on the information indicated in the PWS message.

Convergence of public warning system (PWS) and multimedia service for emergency broadcast

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a network may establish a multiple access (MA) packet data unit (PDU) session for a local area data network (LADN) and may reconfigure a registration area to map to a LADN service area. A network may establish an MA PDU session for an LADN, but may steer traffic to only one of two access links. A network may reject a request for an MA PDU if it is for an LADN. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to trigger a UE registration update or other location information if it leaves an LADN service area while in an idle mode with one access network and a connected mode with the other access network. A UE may request LADN registration, and the network may provide the UE with an indication that MA PDU sessions for the LADN are not supported.

Multi-access packet data unit sessions for local area data networks

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network, a procedure rejection message for non-cellular access at a non-access stratum (NAS) layer, and provide a first congestion indication from the NAS layer to lower layers for non-cellular access based at least in part on the receiving the procedure rejection message. The UE may refrain, at the lower layers, from initiating establishment of a signaling connection based at least in part on the first congestion indication. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Non-access stratum congestion indications

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 techniques and approaches described herein may be applied to control congestion at a session management (SM) function (SMF) based on at least one back-off timer maintained at a user equipment (UE). In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE may be configured to establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session with a SMF. The UE may be configured to determine whether a back-off timer associated with the PDU session is terminated. The UE may refrain from sending, to the SMF, data over a control plane associated with the PDU session when the back-off timer is unterminated. The UE may send, to the SMF, the data over the control plane associated with the PDU session when the back-off timer is terminated.

Back-off mechanisms for transmission of data over control plane

Certain aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented in a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes registering with a first public land mobile network (PLMN) of a first network operator in response to detection of an interruption event associated with a second PLMN of a second network operator; determining that the interruption event has ended; and taking one or more actions to communicate with the second PLMN in response to the ending of the interruption event, wherein taking the one or more actions to communicate with the second PLMN is based on a constraint associated with access attempts to the second PLMN.

Techniques for preventing overloading of public land mobile network (PLMN) subject to disaster

Aspects disclosed herein facilitate security handling of 5GS to EPC reselection are disclosed herein. An example method at a UE includes transmitting a first TAU request, the first TAU request encoded using a first security context associated with a first RAT, the first TAU request being integrity protected using a first uplink count based on the first security context, and the first TAU request including a first set of information including an identifier mapped to a second RAT associated with the first network entity. The example method also includes transmitting a second TAU request, the second TAU request including the first set of information, the second TAU request being integrity protected using a second uplink count. The example method also includes communicating based on a mapped security context based on the first security context and at least one of the first uplink count or the second uplink count.

Security handling of 5GS to EPC reselection

Aspects directed towards steering of roaming (SoR) are disclosed. In one example, a communication from a public land mobile network (PLMN) is received by a user equipment (UE) in which the communication indicates an acceptance of a UE registration with the PLMN. This example further includes performing a determination of whether an SoR indicator associated with a home PLMN (HPLMN) is embedded within the communication. The UE then manages PLMN selection according to the determination. In another example, a UE is configured to operate according to an SoR configuration in which the UE is configured to ascertain whether an SoR indicator is embedded within a communication from a PLMN. An SoR indicator associated with an HPLMN is then generated and subsequently transmitted from the HPLMN to the UE via the PLMN.
