For example, the RDRIS may send UPDATE messages to other nodes within an IP network, such as via the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) in order to advertise the IP routes to the other nodes of the IP network.

Abstract: Devices and systems of sensing, resource selection and control signaling for feedback-less and feedback-based NR-V2X sidelink communication are described. Resource reservation and selection for sidelink retransmissions based on HARQ feedback are described for unicast, groupcast, and broadcast blind retransmissions. After exchanging HARQ feedback capability information for different types of communications, a HARQ-dependent or HARQ-independent resource selection occurs. Look-ahead and/or chain-based resource selection and reservation signaling is used, in which a single resource or some or all of the resources selected are signaled as reserved. Further resource selection of a single additional resource may occur after an initial resource selection. The resource selection for retransmissions may be adapted using a RSRP or distance threshold.

Abstract: Techniques are directed to using communication metric data associated with multiple modulation schemes to achieve a link quality metric that is representative of the link as a whole, across the multiple modulation schemes that may be employed on the link. A calculation of a link quality metric may be triggered by a network layer transmission attempt, with communication metrics accumulated at the link layer of the link. A filter used to calculate the link quality metric may be updated based on network layer transmission attempts, based on successful and/or unsuccessful transmissions at a Media Access Control (MAC) layer of the link. More generally, a calculation of link quality may be triggered by a higher layer transmission attempt while being calculated based on transmission attempts at a lower layer of the link.
