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 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 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 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.

Charging for timing resiliency service

A wireless device receives, from an SMF, a message for a PDU session establishment, wherein the message comprises a configuration information for determining whether one or more packets are associated with a plurality of packets of a data unit (DU) based on a timestamp field of the one or more packets. The wireless device determines, based on the configuration information, that a first packet, comprising a first timestamp field, is one of a first plurality of packets of a first DU, and a second packet, comprising a second timestamp field, is one of the first plurality of packets of the first DU. The wireless device sends, to a base station, the first packet and the second packet.

Data unit identification

A session management function (SMF) sends, to a policy and charging control function (PCF), a request for policy information of a wireless device, the request comprising a parameter of a time sensitive networking (TSN) bridge, wherein the parameter comprises port information of the TSN bridge. The SMF receives, from the PCF, a response to the request, the response comprising the policy information of the wireless device.

Port information of time sensitive network bridge

A base station central unit sends, to a base station distributed unit, a request message for a context configuration of a wireless device, wherein the request message comprises a field indicating that the wireless device is only allowed to access a cell that is associated with at least one closed access group. The base station central unit receives, from the base station distributed unit, an acknowledge message comprising cell configuration parameters of one or more cells for the context configuration of the wireless device, wherein the one or more cells are associated with at least one first closed access group.

Access information for closed access groups

A wireless device sends, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a packet data unit (PDU) session establishment request comprising an indication for a multimedia priority service (MPS). The wireless device receives, from the AMF, an establishment indication of the PDU session.

Multimedia priority service

A session management function (SMF) sends, to a policy control function (PCF), a policy request message comprising a network identifier for a non-public network (NPN) and a PLMN identifier for the NPN. The SMF receives, from the PCF, a policy response message comprising a charging control policy.

Charging control for standalone non-public network

A method may include transmitting, by a wireless device to an access and mobility management function (AMF), a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment request to establish a PDU session associated with an aerial service. The transmitting may be after an authentication and/or authorization procedure for the aerial service of the wireless device is confirmed. The PDU session establishment request may include a civil aviation authority (CAA) uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) identifier (ID). The method may also include receiving, by the wireless device from by the AMF, an indication of acceptance or rejection of the PDU session establishment request. The rejection or acceptance of the PDU session establishment request may be based on an indication of whether the aerial service of the wireless device has been authenticated and/or authorized by an uncrewed aerial system service supplier (USS).

Protocol data unit session establishment associated with aerial service

A first wireless device comprises one or more processors and memory storing instructions. When executed by the one or more processors, the instructions cause the first wireless device to: receive, from a second wireless device, a sidelink announcement message comprising a relay service code (RSC) indicating that the second wireless device supports relay of an emergency service to a network; and based on a cell supporting the emergency service not being available to the first wireless device, send, to the second wireless device, a sidelink connection request message comprising the RSC.
