memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
establish, with a second UE, a connection session based on a configuration profile, the configuration profile including a mapping of an upper-layer protocol to a lower-layer protocol, one or more security policies, and a routing for one or more services associated with the second UE to a protocol stack, wherein a first radio resource control (RRC) entity at the first UE and a second RRC entity at the second UE are virtual and associated with a same medium access control (MAC) entity and a same physical layer entity; and
manage a connection between the second UE and a third device via the connection session.
