主权项

1. A method for wireless communications, comprising:
retrieving, by a user equipment (UE), service metadata associated with one or more service devices from a connectivity entity, wherein the service metadata comprises connectivity parameters including a service set identifier corresponding to a network over which to request access to each of the one or more service devices; configuring, by the UE, one or more links with at least one of the one or more service devices over the network based on the service metadata; and using a service of the at least one of the one or more service devices over the one or more links, wherein the connectivity parameters include a location of the one or more service devices, and wherein configuring the one or more links with at least one of the one or more service devices comprises selecting the at least one of the one or more service devices based at least in part on comparing the location of the one or more service devices with a determined location of the UE.
