Description

3GPP networking with energy related information in mind Cross Reference to Related Applications The invention claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application filed on 1 month 11 of 2023, application number 63/594,975 entitled "3 GPP networking with energy related information," which provisional application is expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field The present invention relates generally to wireless communications, and more particularly to 3GPP networking technologies that take into account energy related information. Background The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art. Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcast. A typical wireless communication system may employ multiple access techniques to support communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources. Examples of such multiple access techniques include code division multiple access (code division multiple access, CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (time division multiple access, TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (frequency division multiple access, FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (orthogonal frequency division multiple access, OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (single-carrier frequency division multiple access, SC-FDMA) systems, and time division synchronous code division multiple access (time division synchronous code division multiple access, TD-SCDMA) systems. These multiple access techniques have been adopted by various telecommunication standards to provide a generic protocol to enable different wireless devices to communicate at the city level, country level, regional level, or even the global level. A New air interface (NR) of 5G is an example of a telecommunication standard. The 5G NR is part of the ongoing mobile broadband evolution proposed by the third generation partnership project (Third Generation Partnership Project,3 GPP) aimed at meeting new demands related to latency, reliability, security, scalability (e.g., internet of things (Internet of Things, ioT)) and other requirements. Certain aspects of 5G NR may be based on the 4G long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) standard. The 5G NR technology still needs further improvement. These improvements may also be applicable to other multiple access technologies and telecommunication standards employing these technologies.
