Claim 0:
1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor configured to cause a radio access network (RAN) element to:
receive, from a vehicle-to-anything (V2X) user equipment (UE), a request for V2X service authorization;
generate an authorization response including a mapping of a plurality of V2X application categories to V2X radio access technologies (RATs), wherein association of a V2X application with a V2X application category of the plurality of V2X application categories is based on a provider service identifier (PSID) associated with the V2X application; and
transmit, to the V2X UE, the authorization response;
generate reference signals for transmission to the V2X UE;
receive, in response to transmission of the reference signals to the V2X UE, a report for handover based on the reference signals from the V2X UE; and
generate, in response to a determination that handover to another RAN is appropriate, instructions in control signaling to the V2X UE, wherein the instructions instruct the RAN element to change at least one of the plurality of application categories in the mapping of the plurality of V2X application categories to V2X RATs to use a different RAN, and wherein the instructions comprise an indication that one or more other applications are unable to be used due to handover of the V2X UE.
