Abstract

An approach is described for a user equipment (UE) to provide vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. The UE includes processor circuitry that generates a registration request message in a protocol for a cellular network, a V2X policy provisioning request and an indication of PC5 radio access technology (RAT) capability for V2X. The UE also includes a transmitter that transmits the registration request message, the V2X policy provisioning request and the indication of PC5 radio access technology (RAT) capability for V2X to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) in the cellular network.

Claims (32)

1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

processor circuitry configured to generate a registration request message in a protocol for a cellular network, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) policy provisioning request and an indication of PC5 radio access technology (RAT) capability for V2X, wherein the indication is provided in a UE policy container that is provided to a policy control function (PCF) transparently via an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) in the cellular network;

radio front end circuitry configured to transmit the registration request message, the V2X policy provisioning request and the indication of PC5 RAT capability for V2X to the AMF in the cellular network;

the radio front end circuitry further configured to receive an identity request message from the AMF, the identity request message requesting a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI); and

the processor circuitry further configured to generate an identity response message including the SUCI, the processor circuitry deriving the SUCI by using a provisioned public key of a home public land mobile network (HPLMN).

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the PC5 RAT capability includes at least one of long term evolution (LTE) PC5 or new radio (NR) PC5.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the registration request message is included in one of an initial registration of the UE with the cellular network, a mobility registration update by the UE, or a UE policy provisioning procedure by the UE.

4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the mobility registration update by the UE is associated with an evolved packet system (EPS) to a fifth generation system (5GS) handover.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the indication of the PC5 RAT capability is included in the UE policy container.

6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the V2X policy provisioning request is included in the UE policy container.

7. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the registration request message is a non-access stratum (NAS) message.

8. A method for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

generating a registration request message in a protocol for a cellular network, a V2X policy provisioning request and an indication of PC5 radio access technology (RAT) capability for V2X, wherein the indication is provided in a UE policy container that is provided to a policy control function (PCF) transparently via an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) in the cellular network;

transmitting the registration request message, the V2X policy provisioning request and the indication of PC5 RAT capability for V2X to the AMF in the cellular network;

receiving an identity request message from the AMF, the identity request message requesting a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI); and

generating an identity response message including the SUCI, the SUCI derived by using a provisioned public key of a home public land mobile network (HPLMN).

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the PC5 RAT capability includes at least one of long term evolution (LTE) PC5 or new radio (NR) PC5.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the generating the registration request message is performed as part of initially registering the UE with the cellular network, updating a mobility registration by the UE, or performing a UE policy provisioning procedure by the UE.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the updating the mobility registration by the UE is associated with an evolved packet system (EPS) to a fifth generation system (5GS) handover.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the generating the indication of the PC5 RAT capability is included in generating the UE policy container.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the generating the V2X policy provisioning request is included in generating the UE policy container.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the registration request message is a non-access stratum (NAS) message.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable media comprising instructions to cause an electronic device, upon execution of the instructions by one or more processors of the electronic device, to perform one of more elements of a method, the method comprising:

generating a registration request message in a protocol for a cellular network, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) policy provisioning request and an indication of PC5 radio access technology (RAT) capability for V2X, wherein the indication is provided in a UE policy container that is provided to a policy control function (PCF) transparently via an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) in the cellular network;

transmitting the registration request message, the V2X policy provisioning request and the indication of PC5 RAT capability for V2X to the AMF in the cellular network;

receiving an identity request message from the AMF, the identity request message requesting a subscription concealed identifier (SUCI); and

generating an identity response message including the SUCI, the SUCI derived by using a provisioned public key of a home public land mobile network (HPLMN).

16. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the PC5 RAT capability includes at least one of long term evolution (LTE) PC5 or new radio (NR) PC5.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the generating the registration request message is performed as part of initially registering the UE with the cellular network, updating a mobility registration by the UE, or performing a UE policy provisioning procedure by the UE.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 17 , wherein the updating the mobility registration by the UE is associated with an evolved packet system (EPS) to a fifth generation system (5GS) handover.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the generating the indication of the PC5 RAT capability is included in generating the UE policy container.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the generating the V2X policy provisioning request is included in generating the UE policy container.
