Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless network may receive a message from a wireless device that is coupled with an aerial vehicle. The message may include a network identifier, an aerial identifier, and operational information for the aerial vehicle. The wireless network may send a message to an aerial function management system requesting that the aerial function management system authenticate an identity of the aerial vehicle. The wireless network may also request that the aerial function management system approve a flight path for the aerial vehicle. The wireless network may establish a data session with the wireless device based on an authentication of the aerial vehicle and an approval of the flight path.

Mechanism for unmanned vehicle authorization for operation over cellular networks

The present disclosure relates to wireless communications, and more particularly to providing connectivity of a PC5 remote user equipment (UE) with UE-to-network (NW) relay access to the 5G core (5GC) via an IWF (e.g., N3IWF). In one aspect, a remote UE may be provided support for a network access stratum (NAS) connection with 5GC via an IWF. In another aspect, Access Traffic Steering, Switching and Splitting (ATSSS) support may be provided for a remote UE.

Techniques for supporting connectivity of remote user equipments with relay access via an interworking function

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for a UE with multiple universal subscription identity modules (i.e., a multi-USIM device) or concurrent radio access technology (C-RAT) capabilities to receive and respond to a page from a network of a first USIIM of the UE while not activating a receiver on that network by receiving the page (from the network of the first USIM) on a receiver active on a network of a second USIM. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes sending a request to register for paging events in a registration request message to an access and management function (AMF) of a network of a first universal subscriber identifier module (USIM) of the UE; sending a paging public user identifier (PPUID) of the UE, in a protocol data unit (PDU) session, to a paging server via a network of a second USIM of the UE, wherein the paging server is associated with the network of the first USIM; and receiving a message associated with the first USIM via the PDU session or another PDU session via the network of the second USIM.

Paging coordination via the internet

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may obtain emission control information that indicates a first emission control configuration associated with a first operating configuration and a second emission control configuration associated with a second operating configuration. The UE may transmit, using the first emission control configuration or the second emission control configuration based at least in part on a UE operating configuration associated with the UE, a communication. Numerous other aspects are described.

Emission control of an aerial user equipment

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

Wireless communications systems and methods related to on-demand ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (URLLC) are provided. In one embodiment, a base station (BS) receives, from a user equipment (UE) in a first cell frequency, a request for a protocol data unit (PDU) session over a network slice. The BS receives, from a core network entity, a resource configuration request for the PDU session over the network slice. The BS transmits, to the core network entity, a resource configuration response indicating a cause for rejecting the resource configuration request. In one embodiment, a UE transmits, in a first cell frequency of a network, a network registration request message requesting a network slice of the network that is not provided by the first cell frequency. The UE receives a network registration response message indicating the network slice is allowed based on a second cell frequency of the network providing the network slice requested.

On-demand ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (URLLC)

Some aspects described herein relate to provisioning aerial vehicles with identifiers, certificates, or other credentials for communicating based on a mobile network. The UAV can transmit a request to register with the mobile network, where the request includes at least a hardware identifier of the UAV. The UAV may receive, from a component of the mobile network, a response to the request, where the response includes a unique UAV identifier, a UAV certificate, and a network certificate generated by at least one of the component of the mobile network or a unmanned aircraft system service supplier (USS).

Techniques for identifying aerial vehicles in mobile networks

Various aspects of the present disclosure include methods, network servers or components and user equipment devices configured to authorize network slices that are associated with services provided by external providers. Various aspects enable access and use of network slices by user equipment devices connected to a network (e.g., 5G or New Radio network) via network components associated with a service provider by generating an allowed network slice selection assistance information (Allowed NSSAI) and an Unauthorized NSSAI, and sending the Allowed NSSAI and Unauthorized NSSAI to a user equipment device.

Systems and methods of supporting device triggered re-authentication of slice-specific secondary authentication and authorization

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may monitor one or more first conditions pertaining to non-cellular communications between the UE and a non-cellular network while the UE is operating in a dual networking mode for steering, switching, or splitting traffic (e.g., an access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) mode) between the non-cellular network and a cellular network. The UE may predict an availability status of at least the non-cellular network based on at least one of the one or more first conditions. In some cases, the UE may determine whether to change dual networking modes based on the availability status and may communicate in accordance with the same or a different dual networking mode using at least one of the cellular network, the non-cellular network, or a combination thereof based on the prediction.

Techniques for operating in accordance with a dual networking mode for steering, switching and splitting traffic

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for maximizing the potential of resources dedicated to aerial user equipment (UEs). In one example, a UE may receive signaling indicating that a cell supports communications exclusively with aerial UEs. The signaling may be used to bar non-aerial UEs from accessing the cell and reserve resources for communications with aerial UEs. In another example, a UE may receive signaling identifying one or more frequency bands dedicated to aerial UEs. The UE may then communicate on the one or more frequency bands. In yet another example, a UE may receive signaling indicating a set of aerial access categories supported by a cell. The signaling may be used to reserve resources for high-priority aerial UEs (e.g., aerial UEs used for law enforcement purposes).

Operation in aerial dedicated spectrum

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication using satellite access to a wireless network, where a wireless cell supported by a satellite is moving or temporarily fixed. In an aspect, a radio access network (RAN) entity or a user equipment (UE) provides, to a core network entity, an enhanced cell global identifier (CGI), where the enhanced CGI includes at least one field representing a location of the UE. Based on the enhanced CGI, the core network entity determines a location of the UE, and may provide a service to the UE based on the location. A core network may also provide an enhanced CGI to a RAN, e.g., to support wireless emergency alerting to UEs.

Support of fixed cells for user equipment access to a non-terrestrial network

A radio access network (RAN) node may transmit, to an access and mobility function (AMF) of a core network, a request associated with a location-based state of a user equipment (UE) served by the RAN node. The location-based state of the UE may be associated with whether the UE is flying or whether the UE is driving, or other location information of the UE. Accordingly, the RAN node may receive a message in response to the request. The RAN node may receive the message in response to the request from the AMF. Alternatively, the AMF may establish a connection between the RAN node and a location management function (LMF) of the core network such that the RAN node receives the message in response to the request from the LMF.

Determining, at a radio access network node, a location-based state of a user equipment

Exchange of flight path information between a mobile network and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assumes a particular format for the flight path information, usually a waypoint format. However, there are many circumstances in which the mobile network may prefer flight path information in other formats, such as polygon formats (also referred to as 'flight volume formats'). Techniques and apparatuses described herein provide greater flexibility with respect to formatting requests for flight path information and encoding responses to such requests. For example, a base station may transmit a request for flight path information with a format indicator that informs a UAV of a desired format for the requested flight path information. The UAV may then provide the flight path information according to the format indicator.

Flight path reporting format for unmanned aerial vehicles

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A multicast architecture may support flexible change between unicast and multicast operations and may support additional traffic types (e.g., Internet Protocol and Ethernet traffic). For example, the multicast architecture may include transmitting data over a shared multicast radio bearer (MRB) and/or specific data radio bearers (DRBs), a multicast user plane function (UPF) for supplying the multicast data to a base station, multicast data from different radio access networks (RANs), protecting the multicast data through creating a group key, ciphering the multicast data sent on the MRB using the group key, and transitioning the multicast data from a source RAN to a target RAN.
