Abstract: A computing node in an edge computing network includes a network interface card (NIC), memory storing a plurality of digital object representations of a corresponding plurality of participating entities, and processing circuitry.

Abstract: Technology is disclosed for a vehicle-capable user equipment (vUE) operable for sensing-based distributed scheduling 5 of event-based mission critical (MC) vehicle-to everything (V2X) traffic. The vUE can sense sidelink control information (SCI) for semi persistent scheduling (SPS) resource selection from one or more SCI messages received in one or more physical sidelink control channels (PSCCHs) from one or more neighboring vUEs. The vUE can identify: a number of MC resources to transmit event10 based MC data with a selected number of repetitions within a latency budget, wherein the MC resources include one or more of MC-SCI or MC data with the selected number of repetitions; and a number of available resources to transmit event-based MC data within the latency budget. The vUE can select revocable resources from one or more scheduled low-priority resources based on the sensed SCI for SPS resource selection.

Abstract: A DTaaS architecture is described to support communication-side optimization and to reduce communication overhead while meeting necessary reliability and latency requirements. The disclosure describe techniques for utilizing DT resources for V2X environments using both virtual and physical “twin” resources to achieve improved resiliency. Moreover, to optimize redundancy costs, the ratio of virtual DT nodes to physical DT nodes may be asymmetrical. An asymmetric approach to DT redundancies involving both virtual and physical resources enables greater flexibility in managing deployment costs.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing DMRS for a UE are generally described. The DMRS locations in a resource unit of a Physical Resource Allocation of a shared channel are randomly determined, and the DMRS sequences randomly generated before transmission from a master UE to a wearable UE. The DMRS locations are disposed on different subcarriers and symbols in the resource unit and are repeated every k subframes or m resource units within the same subframe. In situations in which the collision/contention probability is relatively small, DMRS in control channels may be used rather than in the shared data channel.
