Wireless communication systems and methods related to determining a new multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) configuration for a MBMS that is backward compatible with a legacy MBMS configurations. A base station determines a MBMS configuration. The MBMS configuration includes at least one non-optional field that indicates compatibility with a first user equipment (UE) having a first MBMS capability or compatibility with a second UE having a second MBMS capability. The MBMS configuration also includes a sub-carrier spacing indication for a MBMS corresponding to the first MBMS capability or the second MBMS capability. The MBMS configuration is broadcasted to the first UE and the second UE.

A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an binding information service is provided. The binding information service may include applying one or multiple criteria to binding information stored by a binding service function. The binding information service may identify candidate binding information instances that may need deletion based on the one or multiple criteria. The binding information service may interrogate a policy control network device as to the current registrability of the binding information. The binding information service may delete or maintain the binding information based on a result of the interrogation. The binding information service may also include directing the binding service function to delete binding information based on one or multiple criteria. The one or multiple criteria may relate to the age of the binding information or a last time the registrability of the binding information was confirmed.

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The apparatus may be configured to receive a request for UE capability information from a network. The apparatus may be further configured to transmit, in response to the request, UE capability information indicating a first set of value pairs associated with monitoring occasions for a control channel of at least one first component carrier and a second set of value pairs associated with monitoring occasions for a control channel of at least one second component carrier, and each of the first and second sets of value pairs may include a first value corresponding to a minimum time separation between consecutive spans for the monitoring occasions and a second value corresponding to a span length for the monitoring occasions.

A wireless communication device for establishing two different user equipment (UE) radio access network (RAN) attachments. The wireless communication device comprises an application processor; a baseband processor; a non-transitory memory; a virtual user equipment (UE) application stored in the non-transitory memory that, when executed by the application processor as a first virtual UE instance accesses a first eSIM profile stored in the non-transitory memory, establishes a first UE attachment to a radio access network based on credentials accessed from the first eSIM profile, and conducts a first wireless communication session via the first UE attachment, and when executed by the application processor as a second virtual UE application instance accesses a second eSIM profile stored in the non-transitory memory, establishes a second UE attachment to a radio access network based on credentials accessed from the second eSIM profile, and conducts a second wireless communication session via the second UE attachment.

Disclosed here is a system and method to determine which wireless telecommunication network functionalities are impaired when using end-to-end encryption and to ameliorate the impairment of the functionality. The system receives a request from a sender device to communicate with a receiver device, where the request indicates whether the sender device is capable of an end-to-end encryption. The system determines whether the receiver device is capable of the end-to-end encryption, and whether the receiver device is associated with a functionality provided by a wireless telecommunication network that is impaired when the end-to-end encryption is used. Upon determining that the receiver device is not capable of the end-to-end encryption or that the receiver device is associated with the functionality that is impaired, the system performs an action to ameliorate the impairment to the functionality.

A base station includes a receiving unit that receives a terminal capability from a terminal before a security procedure, and a transmitting unit that transmits, to other nodes, a message that does not include the terminal capability acquired before the security procedure or transmits, to other nodes, the terminal capability together with an information element indicating that the terminal capability acquired before the security procedure is invalid.

An in-vehicle wireless communication device according to the present embodiment is is mounted in a vehicle and includes a wireless communication unit that performs wireless communication with an external device provided outside of the vehicle and a processing unit that performs processing relating to communication, in which the processing unit determines a communication amount in an in-vehicle network provided inside of the vehicle, transmits communication amount information relating to the determined communication amount to the external device by the wireless communication unit, and receives data transmitted from the external device at a size corresponding to the transmitted communication amount information, by the wireless communication unit.
