An access and mobility management function (AMF) receives from a first wireless device a non-access stratum (NAS) message comprising an identifier (ID) of a group communication session. The AMF receives from a session management function (SMF) a message comprising a list of one or more second wireless devices associated with the group communication session and a list of one or more packet data unit (PDU) sessions. The AMF determines, based on a state of the one or more second wireless devices, to page the one or more second wireless devices. The AMF receives from the one or more second wireless devices one or more service request messages.

Group communication service request

A second base station sends to a first base station, a request for a context of a wireless device, wherein the request comprises assistance information for a small data transmission (SDT) procedure of the wireless device. The assistance information indicates whether single data associated with the SDT procedure is expected, or more than single data associated with the SDT procedure is expected.

Small data transmission assistance information

A communication procedure may be used for multiple access. A wireless device may be capable of simultaneously accessing a plurality of networks that are associated with a visited network. The visited network may or may not allow the wireless device to simultaneously access the plurality of networks, for example, based on a status of the visited network. Prior to a wireless device requesting access to a plurality of networks, a visited network may indicate whether the visited network supports, for the wireless device, simultaneous access to a plurality of networks.

Multiple access

A wireless device may be configured to perform a method including receiving, from a time sensitive network (TSN) translator device, a TSN parameter. The wireless device may also send, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a non-access stratum (NAS) message indicating a request to establish a protocol data unit (PDU) session comprising the one or more TSN parameters. The wireless device may receive, from the AMF, a message indicating acceptance of the PDU session.

Wireless device related to time sensitive network for protocol data unit session establishment with access management function

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A network function device, such as a policy control function device, may send a policy and charging control rule that is based on one or more Ethernet medium access control (MAC) addresses. For example, the policy control function device may send the policy and charging control rule to a session management function device to provide a packet data unit (PDU) session for a wireless device.

Ethernet type packet data unit session communications

A wireless device sends a first request to a mobility management function via a base station. The first request includes a paging cause indication in a paging message. A first paging message is received by the wireless device and comprises a first paging cause indication. Based on the first paging message, a second request for a connection setup is sent.

Paging cause indication

A source access and mobility management function (AMF) device may send, to a target AMF, a first message. The first message may indicate a handover of a wireless device and a source session management function (SMF). The source AMF may receive, from the target AMF, a second message causing a release of at least one second session of the wireless device. The source AMF may send, to the target AMF, a first indication of the completion of the release of the at least one second session.

Wireless device session management by an access and mobility management function

A method may include receiving, by a base station distributed unit from a wireless device not in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state an RRC request message for a small data transmission (SDT) procedure and uplink data associated with the SDT procedure. The method may also include sending, to a base station central unit, the RRC request message for the SDT procedure. The method may further include receiving, from the base station central unit, a message that includes radio link control (RLC) configuration parameters for the SDT procedure and a field indicating that the RLC configuration parameters are for the SDT procedure. The method may additionally include sending the uplink data to the base station central unit in accordance with the field.

A session management function (SMF) receives, from a wireless device, a packet data unit (PDU) session establishment request message requesting establishment of a PDU session associated with an application and offloaded processing of data from the wireless device to an application server associated with the application. The SMF sends, to the wireless device, a response message indicating a rejection or an acceptance of the offloaded processing of data.

Session management for edge computing

A second access and mobility management function (AMF) may receive a first message having positioning capability information indicating that a location management component (LMC) supports one or more positioning types. The second AMF may receive, from a first AMF, a second message indicating a positioning type of a wireless device. The second AMF may determine the LMC based on the positioning type and the positioning capability information. The second AMF may send, to a base station associated with the LMC, a third message having an identifier of the LMC.

Location management

A wireless device receives, while in a radio resource control (RRC) connected state, via a first cell, one or more messages. The one or more messages comprise a conditional cell configuration of a second cell, an indication to allow the wireless device to apply the conditional cell configuration in an RRC inactive state, and a suspend configuration for the RRC inactive state. The wireless device transitions, based on the suspend configuration, to the RRC inactive state. The wireless device applies, in the RRC inactive state, the conditional cell configuration. The applying is based on determining to transition, via the second cell, to an RRC connected state, and the indication to allow the wireless device to apply the conditional cell configuration in the RRC inactive state.

Cell configuration in inactive state

A base station receives, from a network function, a message comprising a charging control for time service indicator, wherein the charging control for time service indicator is for a time resiliency service for a wireless device, the base station collects, based on the charging control for time service indicator, usage information associated with the time resiliency service for the wireless device. The base station sends, to a mobility management function, the usage information associated with the time resiliency service.
