Resource management for 5G eV2X

A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may include sending, to a network, a registration message indicating the WTRU is capable of device-to-device (D2D) communication and sending a request for assistance in discovering at least one other WTRU in proximity to the WTRU. The method may include receiving, from the network, in response to the request for assistance in discovering the at least one other WTRU, assistance information including one or more of a unique identifier or filtering information. The method may include performing, using the assistance information, a device discovery procedure to discover the at least one other WTRU, wherein the device discovery procedure comprises at least one of: monitoring for signals from the at least one other WTRU using the assistance information, or sending a discovery announcement based on the assistance information and transmitting application data directly to the at least one other WTRU.

Resource allocation for device-to-device (D2D) communications

A user equipment (UE) operating in an 'Onboarding Mode' may search for a network broadcasting Onboarding Capability Information (OCT), then register using onboarding credentials and receive SNPN credentials from the network. The UE may then exit onboarding mode, enter Manual Network Selection or Automatic Network Selection mode, and connect to the SNPN. A UE may also receive from a network a list of PLMNs and SNPNs that are equivalent then, when registering, indicate to the network that a requested slice is not associated with the IJE's HPLMN, but is associated with an SNPN. The network may indicate to the UE how the slices of the network map to the slices of the SNPN, and may indicate whether a slice that is offered by the network only partially maps to a slice of the SNPN or HPLMN.

SNPN onboarding and obtaining SNPN services from a PLMN

Methods, systems, and deices may assist in reducing the possibility that a reduced capability NR device misses a paging message due to the termination of PTW. Methods, systems, and devices may enable a UE to dynamically turn on and off eDRX mode of operation or change eDRX configuration based on its traffic profiles.

Methods, apparatus, and systems are described for assistance information from the UE to network side, e.g., enabling faster decision-making for secondary cell group deactivation in 3GPP MR DC/CA deployments. According to some aspects, instructions for UE behavior upon MR DC/CA secondary cell group activation are provided in a secondary cell group deactivation message to reduce delays for a UE triggered secondary group activation. RRC signaling ambiguities for conditional PSCell addition/change may be resolved by a synchronization message between a main node and a secondary node to avoid delays and signaling errors.

Activation/de-activation mechanism for one SCG and Scells, and conditional PSCell change/addition

A wireless transmit/receive unit may request, from a core network, authorization for creating one or more personal networks of one or more devices. After being granted authorization, the UE may be enabled to create a personal network and to cause a PDU session for the personal network to be established with the core network. The UE may enable members of the personal network to send data associated with the personal network via the PDU session.

Authorization, creation, and management of personal networks

Blind coverage for wireless devices is enhanced varying one or more transmission characteristics of a repeated transmission sent or received by apparatuses, where the repeated transmission includes, for example a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) and/or a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmissions. Varied characteristics may include a start time for each repetition, a duration for each repetition, a start frequency for each repetition, a bandwidth of each repetition, a number of repetitions for each subframe, and/or a number of repetitions for each slot. Repetitions may be within a Bandwidth Part (BWP) or span multiple BWPs. Repetitions may vary from one to another in start time, start frequency, duration, bandwidth, and slot and subframe patterns. Higher level signalling, such as Radio Resource Control (RRC) signalling may be used to control the inclusion or omission of a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) in repeated transmissions.

Coverage enhancement for reduced capability new radio devices

Network Slice Selection Assistance information (NSSA1) may be signaled between User Equipment (UE) and a network. NSSA1 sent from the network to the UE may include, for example. Operating Frequency Band (OFB) for each Single NSSAI(S-NSSA1) in the NSSAI, as well as a Radio Access Technology (RAT) Frequency Selection Priority (RFSP) index, which the network configures as a part of UE access and mobility; subscription, during a UE registration procedure. RAT restrictions may be enhanced to indicate to the UE that certain slices are not accessible via certain RATs. A UE may be provided by the network with an alternative NSSAI and corresponding OFBs for each S-NSSAI thereby indicating to the UE that these S-NSSAI would have been allowed had they been requested. A UE may be able to choose an alternative Allowed NSSAI and send a registration update request to the network.
