Methods, apparatus and systems for multiplexing sensing and measurement data between control plane and user plane

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configured for multiplexing measurement data, the WTRU comprising:

• a processor, memory, and a transceiver which are configured to:
• receive information indicating configurations of (i) a signaling radio bearer (SRB) associated with control plane data, (ii) a data radio bearer (DRB) associated with user plane data, and (iii) an analytics radio bearer (ARB) associated with analytics plane data, receive information indicating one or more measurement configurations for one or more measurement objects,
• multiplex measurement data including minimization of drive testing (MDT) data and sensor measurement data between the SRB, the DRB, and the ARB,
• select one or more of the SRB, the DRB, and the ARB for transmission of the measurement data to a network entity, wherein the selection is performed based on at least one of a WTRU state, a network congestion state, and/or a data threshold associated with the measurement data, and
• transmit the measurement data over the selected one or more of the SRB, the DRB, and the ARB.
