Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an NTN entity comprising the following. A receiver of the NTN entity receives a channel status report from a user equipment, UE, the channel status report providing information on a channel between the UE and the NTN entity. A transmitter of the NTN entity forwards the received channel status report to a base station. The receiver receives scheduling information from the base station regarding a downlink or uplink transmission of the data with for the UE. A processor of the NTN entity determines an updated channel status. The processor determines whether to adapt a transmission power for the downlink or uplink transmission according to the received scheduling information, based on the updated channel status. The processor, when having determined to adapt the transmission power, adapts the transmission power for the downlink or uplink transmission.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, systems, and computer program products for flexible frame structure in control information delivery are provided. An exemplary embodiment provides an apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to receive, at a first device, a sub-frame comprising at least one symbol transmitted over a network from a network node, wherein the at least one symbol comprising control information to the first device, and transmit, from the first device, scheduled data towards the network node based on the control information.

Abstract: Resource allocation for data transmission. A method includes: detecting a need for a transmission of data from a first user apparatus via a first base station to a second user apparatus via a second base station. In response to detecting the need, requesting backhaul resources for a transmission from the first base station to the second base station. After requesting the backhaul resources, controlling reception of the data from the first user apparatus, and triggering a transmission of the data using the backhaul resources to the second base station for a transmission of the data to the second user apparatus.

Abstract: When a network node providing wireless access and serving plurality of user devices receives information on channel conditions from one or more user devices, the network node determines available resources for traffic to and from the one or more user devices; and, when there is higher priority traffic, the network node uses reliability increasing resource allocation for the higher priority traffic at least as long as there are enough resources available.

Abstract: For a communication between two UEs that passes through a network node, a total number of transmission attempts for a same set of data is divided between first and second data transmission attempt(s). The first data transmission attempt(s) are allowed to be performed from a first one of the two UEs toward the network node. The second data transmission attempt(s) are allowed to be performed from the network node or from a second network node toward a second one of the two UEs. Performance of the first and second data transmission attempt(s) is coordinated based on the division to cause communication of the set of data from the first UE to the second UE. A single network node may perform the first and second data transmission attempts, or a first network node performs the first data transmission attempts while a second network node performs the second data transmission attempts.
