Abstract: A message transmission method and related devices are provided in the disclosure. The method includes the following. A first long range (LoRa) device creates a LoRa mesh group. Based on a peer-to-peer (P2P) communication requirement with a second LoRa device belonging to the LoRa mesh group, the first LoRa device switches to a P2P communication mode, transmits a mode switching instruction to the second LoRa device, and increases a transmission priority associated with a target message type to a predetermined transmission priority. The mode switching instruction is used to instruct the second LoRa device to switch to the P2P communication mode. The target message type is the type of a message that needs to be transmitted in P2P communication between the first LoRa device and the second LoRa device. The first LoRa device transmits a message of the target message type to the second LoRa device.

Abstract: Examples herein describe a programmable traffic management engine that includes both programmable and non-programmable hardware components. The non-programmable hardware components are used to generate features that can then be used to perform different traffic management algorithms. Depending on which traffic management algorithm the PTM engine is configured to do, the PTM engine may use a subset (or all) of the features to perform the algorithm. The programmable hardware components in the PTM engine are programmable (e.g., customizable) by the user to perform a selected algorithm using some or all of the features provided by the non-programmable hardware components.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Some wireless communications systems may support communication between a user equipment (UE) and a base station on multiple carriers (i.e., carrier aggregation). In some cases, the UE may be scheduled to transmit uplink signals on the different component carriers during transmission time intervals (TTIs) that have different durations. In such cases, it may be appropriate for the UE to determine a maximum transmit power limit relating to the amount of power used for the uplink transmissions on the multiple carriers. As described herein, the UE may identify one of the component carriers as a reference component carrier, and the UE may determine the maximum transmit power limit for a duration of a TTI associated with the reference component carrier. The UE may then transmit on the multiple carriers in compliance with the maximum transmit power limit.

Abstract: A vehicle may wirelessly communicate with another vehicle via a physical channel (a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channel) that is robust and reliable under high mobility propagation conditions. The physical channel may be created by modifying an existing long-term evolution (LTE) physical channel, such as an LTE sidelink (SL) channel. For instance, the V2V physical channel may be created by increasing, by a particular factor, the subcarrier spacing of legacy LTE channels (e.g., from 15 kilohertz (kHz) to 30 kHz). Additionally, a symbol duration and a fast physical channel may each be reduced by Fourier transform (FFT) size for the V2V the same factor. Doing so may enable the V2V physical channel to be implemented without significant modifications to other aspects of the LTE standard.

Abstract: A non-terrestrial network (NTN) node transmits configuration information including an indication of a maximum transmission block size (TBS) for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). A TBS for the PUSCH or PDSCH is determined based on at least the indicated TBS, and one of a signal indicates one of a maximum modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for the PUSCH or PDSCH transmission or whether the PUSCH or PDSCH transmission uses a default MCS, or the MCS is determined based on at least the indicated maximum MCS, and the PUSCH is transmitted or the PDSCH is received based on the determined TBS and the determined MCS. A maximum TBS, a maximum MCS, or a number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) processes is indicated by a master information block (MIB), a system information block (SIB), or radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
