1. An apparatus for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
a processor; and
memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
receive, from a distributed unit via a first radio access technology, control information indicating a core network service offered by a service-based network of the first radio access technology and configured to interface with a radio access network associated with the distributed unit, wherein the distributed unit is associated with the first radio access technology, and wherein the core network service is associated with a central unit of a second radio access technology;
transmit, to the distributed unit via the first radio access technology and based at least in part on the control information, a service request indicating the core network service associated with the central unit of the second radio access technology;
receive, from the distributed unit via the first radio access technology, a service context for communicating with the core network service in accordance with the first radio access technology based at least in part on the service request, the service context indicating a destination associated with the core network service; and
transmit, to the distributed unit via the first radio access technology, a service message in accordance with the service context, the service message comprising the destination and a payload in a format associated with the second radio access technology.
