`
`Authorization or Opt-Out of Authorization to Permit Access:
`
`When this Application Data Sheet is properly signed and filed with the application, applicant has provided written
`authority to permit a participating foreign intellectual property (IP) office access to the instant application-as-filed (see
`paragraph A in subsection 1 below) and the European Patent Office (EPO) access to any search results from the instant
`application (see paragraph Bin subsection 1 below).
`
`Should applicant choose not to provide an authorization identified in subsection 1 below, applicant must opt-out of the
`authorization by checking the corresponding box A or B or both in subsection 2 below.
`
`NOTE: This section of the Application Data Sheet is ONLY reviewed and processed with the INITIAL filing of an
`application. After the initial filing of an application, an Application Data Sheet cannot be used to provide or rescind
`authorization for access by a foreign IP office(s). Instead, Form PTO/SB/39 or PTO/SB/69 must be used as appropriate.
`
`1. Authorization to Permit Access by a Foreign Intellectual Property Office(s)
`
`A. Priority Document Exchange (PDX) - Unless box A in subsection 2 (opt-out of authorization) is checked, the
`undersigned hereby grants the USPTO authority to provide the European Patent Office (EPO), the Japan Patent Office
`(JPO), the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of
`China (SIPO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and any other foreign intellectual property office
`participating with the USPTO in a bilateral or multilateral priority document exchange agreement in which a foreign
`application claiming priority to the instant patent application is filed, access to: (1) the instant patent application-as-filed
`and its related bibliographic data, (2) any foreign or domestic application to which priority or benefit is claimed by the
`instant application and its related bibliographic data, and (3) the date of filing of this Authorization. See 37 CFR 1.14(h)
`(1 ).
`
`B. Search Results from U.S. Application to EPO - Unless box Bin subsection 2 (opt-out of authorization) is checked,
`the undersigned hereby grants the USPTO authority to provide the EPO access to the bibliographic data and search
`results from the instant patent application when a European patent application claiming priority to the instant patent
`application is filed. See 37 CFR 1.14(h)(2).
`
`The applicant is reminded that the EPO's Rule 141(1) EPC (European Patent Convention) requires applicants to submit a
`copy of search results from the instant application without delay in a European patent application that claims priority to
`the instant application.
`
`2. Opt-Out of Authorizations to Permit Access by a Foreign Intellectual Property Office(s)
`
`A. Applicant DOES NOT authorize the USPTO to permit a participating foreign IP office access to the instant
`D application-as-filed. If this box is checked, the USPTO will not be providing a participating foreign IP office with
`any documents and information identified in subsection 1A above.
`
`B. Applicant DOES NOT authorize the USPTO to transmit to the EPO any search results from the instant patent
`D application. If this box is checked, the USPTO will not be providing the EPO with search results from the instant
`application.
`NOTE: Once the application has published or is otherwise publicly available, the USPTO may provide access to the
`application in accordance with 37 CFR 1.14.

`
`DISTRIBUTED CONTROL IN WIRELESS SYSTEMS
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`[0001] Mobile communications continue to evolve. A fifth generation may be referred to as
`
`SG. A previous (legacy) generation of mobile communication may be, for example, fourth
`
`generation ( 4G) long term evolution (L TE).
`
`SUMMARY
`
`[0002]
`
`Systems, procedures, and instrumentalities (e.g., aspects of entities, interfaces and
`
`procedures in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and/or network layers Ll, L2, 13) are
`
`disclosed for distributed control in wireless systems, such as 5G flexible radio access technology
`
`(RAT) (5gFLEX). Example procedures are provided for WTRU and network operation
`
`associated with a distributed control plane architecture, connectionless data transfer and
`
`dedicated system information acquisition. Distributed control may be provided, for example, by
`
`replicating a plurality of access control functions (ACFs) using a plurality of instances in a
`
`plurality of different transmission/reception points (TRPs) with multi-connectivity. The plurality
`
`of TRPs may concurrently provide control services to a WTRU. Centralized control functions
`
`may manage core network connectivity and a plurality of user plane instances for the WTRU and
`
`may facilitate coordination between the plurality of ACF instances for the WTRU in the plurality
`
`of different TRPs of the WTRU's configuration. For example, there may be a first access plane
`
`between the WTRU and a first TRP that provides a first ACF for the WTRU, a second access
`
`plane between the WTRU and a second TRP that provides a second ACF for the WTRU, a RAN
`
`central control plane between the WTRU and a first RAN central control function (RCCF) and a
`
`RAN central user plane between the WTRU and a RAN central user function (RCUF).
`
`[0003]
`
`A WTRU may use assistance information for beamformed system information
`
`delivery. Assistance information may be determined and/or transmitted.
`
`[0004]
`
`A WTRU may determine when to apply and/or activate on-demand system
`
`information.

`
`A WTRU may have saved instructions in memory executable by a processor and/or
`
`("SI") request procedure. A WTRU may also have saved instructions in memory executable by a
`
`processor and/or received from a wireless network via a message for performing an SI request,
`
`(e.g., using a random access channel "RACH"), and/or msg3 and handling of networks.

`
`DETAILED DESCRIPTION
`
`[0016]
`
`A detailed description of illustrative embodiments will now be described with
`
`reference to the various Figures. Although this description provides a detailed example of
`
`possible implementations, it should be noted that the details are intended to be exemplary and in
`
`no way limit the scope of the application.
`
`[0017]
`
`FlG. IA is a diagram of an example communications system 100 in which one or
`
`more disclosed embodiments may be implemented. The communications system 100 may be a
`
`multiple access system that provides content, such as voice, data, video, messaging, broadcast,
`
`- 2 -
`
`IPR2022-00468
`Apple EX1013 Page 13
`
`

`

`ILTE 13379US01
`
`etc., to multiple wireless users. The communications system 100 may enable multiple wireless
`
`users to access such content through the sharing of system resources, including wireless
`
`bandwidth. For example, the communications system 100 may employ one or more channel
`
`access methods, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access
`
`(TOMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA), single(cid:173)
`
`carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA), and the like.
`
`roo1s1
`
`As shown in FIG. lA, the communications system 100 may include wireless
`
`transmit/receive units (WTRUs), e.g., WTRUs, 102a, 102b, 102c, and/or 102d (which generally
`
`or collectively may be referred to as WTRU 102), a radio access network (RAN) 103/104/105, a
`
`core network 106/107 /109, a public switched telephone network (PSTN) 108, the Internet 110,
`
`and other networks 112, though it will be appreciated that the disclosed embodiments
`
`contemplate any number of WTRUs, base stations, networks, and/or network elements. Each of
`
`the WTRUs 102a, 102b, 102c, 102d may be any type of device configured to operate and/or
`
`communicate in a wireless environment. By way of example, the WTRU s 102a, 102b, 102c,
`
`102d may be configured to transmit and/or receive wireless signals and may include user
`
`equipment (UE), a mobile station, a fixed or mobile subscriber unit, a pager, a cellular telephone,
`
`a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smartphone, a laptop, a netbook, a personal computer, a
`
`wireless sensor, consumer electronics, and the like.
`
`[0019]
`
`The communications system 100 may also include a base station 114a and a base
`
`station 114b. Each of the base stations 114a, 114b may be any type of device configured to
