The present application relates to devices and components including apparatuses, systems, and methods for technologies for offloading paths from edge computing resources.

A data packet, that is to be transmitted in a dual connectivity (DC) or carrier aggregation (CA) based communications system, may include an indication to indicate whether the data packet is configured to be transmitted in a first frequency of a first carrier or a second frequency of a second carrier, and be transmitted, by a communication device, in the first frequency or the second frequency based on the indication. A data packet in the communications system may also be transmitted first in a first frequency higher than a second frequency, and then be retransmitted in the second frequency upon transmission failure of the data packet in the first frequency.

A method includes receiving, from a plurality of user devices, a plurality of requests to transmit over a wireless fidelity (WiFi) network and in response to determining that the WiFi network cannot support the plurality of requests, determining that a first request of the plurality of requests should be supported by a cellular network. The method also includes instructing a first user device of the plurality of user devices that communicated the first request to perform transmissions corresponding to the first request over the cellular network.

A mechanism for controlling configuration of dual connectivity for a UE that has a first connection with a first access node. The first access node could make a determination whether a level of load of a second access node with which the UE is not currently connected is threshold high. And if the determination is that the determined level of load of the second access node is not at least threshold high, then the first access node could proceed with application of a process for adding the second connection, without applying a timer for delaying application of the process. Whereas, if the determination is that the determined level of load of the second access node is at least predefined threshold high, then the first access node could apply the timer for delaying application of the process and, upon expiration of the timer, could proceed with application of the process.

Embodiments include methods, for a first RAN node in a first RAN, for inter-system mobility load balancing with a second RAN node in a second RAN. Such methods include sending, to the second RAN node, a resource status request message that includes a reporting configuration with one or more of the following: one or more metrics, related to load and/or capacity, to be measured by the second RAN node; one or more triggering events for initiating reporting of the metrics; and a reporting format that defines how the respective metrics should be reported upon corresponding triggering events. Such methods include receiving from the second RAN node in response to the resource status request message: a resource status response message indicating successful configuration of at least a portion of the reporting configuration; or a resource status failure message indicating unsuccessful configuration for all of the reporting configuration.

Methods, systems, and devices for reducing latency for closed loop sidelink communications for non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are described. In some examples, a first user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a network entity, a message requesting an allocation of sidelink resources for the first UE and an allocation of sidelink resources for a second UE. The first UE may receive, from the network entity in response to the request message, an indication of a first set of sidelink resources for the first UE. In some examples, the first UE may transmit one or more data messages to the second UE, including an indication of a second set of sidelink resources, an indication that the network entity may directly allocate the second set of sidelink resources, or both. In some example, the first UE may receive one or more data messages from the second UE on the second set of sidelink resources.

A user equipment (UE) includes an access performance acquisition circuit and a wireless communication circuit. The access performance acquisition circuit acquires performance of a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and performance of a non-3GPP access. The wireless communication circuit determines a non-network-decided access traffic steering, switching and splitting (ATSSS) policy according to the performance of the 3GPP access and the performance of the non-3GPP access.

A user equipment (UE) includes an access performance prediction circuit and a wireless communication circuit. The access performance prediction circuit predicts performance of a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP ) access and performance of a non-3GPP access. The wireless communication circuit takes action in response to predicted performance of the 3GPP access and predicted performance of the non-3GPP access.

A network (NW) includes a wireless communication circuit and an access traffic steering, switching and splitting (ATSSS) policy decision circuit. The wireless communication circuit receives parameters from a user equipment (UE), and transmits a network-decided ATSSS policy to the UE, wherein the parameters do not include performance of a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access and performance of a non-3GPP access. The ATSSS policy decision circuit performs ATSSS rule selection for generating the network-decided ATSSS policy, wherein the ATSSS rule selection is assisted by at least a portion of the parameters provided by the UE.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) capable of establishing a split bearer involving at least primary and secondary radio link control (RLC) entities. The techniques generally include deciding, based on one or more conditions, whether to submit a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) protocol data unit (PDU) to the primary RLC entity or the secondary RLC entity according to one or more rules and submitting the PDCP PDU to at least one of the primary or secondary RLC entities in accordance with the decision.
