`
`ABSTRACT
`
`
`
`
`
`Systems, procedures, and instrumentalities ( e.g. aspects of entities, interfaces and
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`procedures in a wireless transmit/receive llllit (WTRU) and/or network layers LI, 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 \VTRU. 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
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`behveen the WTRU and a first TRP that provides a first ACF for the \VTRU, 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 fllllction (RCCF) and a
`
`
`
`
`
`RAN central user plane between the \VTRU and a RAN central user fllllction (RCUF).
