The method may include: carrying and sending a first descriptor element in a first request frame, requesting for a SCS stream from the first device, wherein the first descriptor element is related to the SCS, wherein the first request frame includes a first indication, indicating whether the second device agrees that the SCS stream and any other stream from the first device to the second device share a same traffic identifier (TID).

An approach to configure enterprise wireless mobile network slices. A method includes receiving slice definition information representative of a network slice, the slice definition information including an expected slice efficiency index of the network slice, provisioning the network slice, consistent with the slice definition information, in a wireless network, receiving telemetry corresponding to operational metrics of an instance of the network slice that is used by one or more devices in the wireless network, calculating an actual slice efficiency index for the instance of the network slice based on the telemetry corresponding to the operation metrics of the instance of the network slice, determining whether the expected slice efficiency index differs from the actual slice efficiency index by a predetermined threshold, and indicating a course of action to cause the actual slice efficiency index to more closely align with the expected slice efficiency index.

A communication method includes obtaining, by a policy control network element, an application identifier. The communication method further includes determining, by the policy control network element, a first application descriptor based on the application identifier. The communication method further includes sending, by the policy control network element, the first application descriptor to a session management network element. The first application descriptor is useable for generating an access traffic steering, switching, and splitting (ATSSS) rule. The ATSSS rule includes the first application descriptor.

A method for performing traffic flow management with aid of auxiliary information and associated apparatus are provided. The method may include: carrying first auxiliary information in at least one first data unit of first data units in a first stream, wherein the first stream and a second stream are assigned to a same traffic identifier (TID); and sending the at least one first data unit carrying the first auxiliary information and at least one second data unit in the second stream to the second device, wherein the first auxiliary information comprises an indication of the first data units being part of the first stream.

A method, system and computer readable media are presented for managing Centralized Unit (CU)-User Plane (UP) in CU-Control Plane (CP). In one embodiment a method includes configuring a pool of CU-UPs; associating a CU-UP of the pool of CU-UPs with a type of subscriber; and selecting a CU-UP of the pool of CU-UPs pool based on characteristics associated with the CU-UP.

A method of transmission scheduling for one or more process devices in an industrial application, such as a sensor, an actuator and/or a process controller, capable of wireless communication, implemented by a radio control unit, is proposed, the method comprising: determining with respect to the industrial application whether a licensed shared access spectrum is available and assigning to the one or more process devices, based on a traffic type of the data to be transmitted by the one or more process devices, an access spectrum within the licensed shared access spectrum.

The described technology is generally directed towards reducing latency in a wireless communications network. Radio access network latency data corresponding to a measured latency impact criterion is obtained by a network device of a wireless network. Based on the radio access network latency data, latency guidance data usable by the radio network device to achieve a reduction in communication latency that is experienced by a user equipment is predicted, e.g., by a learned model. The latency guidance data can be used to facilitate a reduction in the communication latency that is experienced by a user equipment.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support enhanced Basic Safety Message (BSM) reporting. In a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, by a wireless communication device, a C-V2X message from another wireless communication device; and transmitting, by the wireless communication device, a safety message including path history information responsive to determining a path history information trigger condition is satisfied based on the C-V2X message. In a second aspect, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, by a wireless communication device, a C-V2X message from another wireless communication device; and transmitting, by the wireless communication device, a safety message including certificate information responsive to determining a certificate information trigger condition is satisfied based on the C-V2X message. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

A mechanism is disclosed operating a transport network function (TNF) as part of a fifth generation wireless (5G) virtualized control plane. The mechanism includes receiving a request to compute a traffic engineering (TE) path in a 5G transport network for a packet data unit (PDU) session, the request received from a 5G virtualized control plane function via a service based interface (SBI) bus. Network topology information for the 5G transport network is obtained via a northbound interface (Nn). A TE path across the 5G transport network is computed for the PDU session based on the network topology information. A TE path identifier for the TE path computed for the PDU session is returned via the SBI bus.

A system described herein may provide a technique for the differentiated Quality of Service (“QoS”) treatment of different traffic types associated with the same application (e.g., a “multi-persona” application) by a wireless network, without the exposure of an application identifier of the application to the wireless network. The application may provide a traffic type indication, based on which a User Equipment (“UE”) may establish one or more QoS flows or other types of communication sessions with the wireless network, where the QoS flows or other types of communication sessions are associated with a network slice that is associated with the traffic type. The communication sessions may include Data Radio Bearers (“DRBs”), backhaul links, protocol data unit (“PDU”) sessions, or other suitable types of communication sessions.
