Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems to coordinate resource allocation between two UEs for sidelink communication. A receiving UE receiving sidelink communication from a transmitting UE may configure coordination resources used to coordinate sidelink communication between the two UEs. The receiving UE may receive from the transmitting UE data indicating resources reserved and intended to be used by the transmitting UE to transmit sidelink data to the receiving UE. The receiving UE may determine a coordination message used to indicate whether the resources reserved by the transmitting UE are available for use by the receiving UE to receive the sidelink data from the transmitting UE. The receiving UE may determine resources from the coordination resources to be used to carry the coordination message and may transmit the coordination message carried on the selected resources to indicate to the transmitting UE whether to use the reserved resources for the sidelink data.

Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) and/or cellular network to resume a connection. To resume the connection, the UE may transmit a fully protected connection resume message, e.g., which may include protection for a resume cause field.

Abstract: Provided are a method for a node used for wireless communication and an apparatus. One example method includes: receiving first signaling, wherein the first signaling indicates a plurality of physical random access channel occasion groups, and each of the plurality of physical random access channel occasion groups comprises a plurality of physical random access channel occasions; and receiving second signaling, wherein the second signaling indicates a value of a first index, and the value of the first index corresponds to at least one corresponding physical random access channel occasion group of the plurality of physical random access channel occasion groups.

Abstract: A method for determining a schedule request, SR, configuration, applied in a terminal, including: sending, by the terminal, sidelink information to a base station, where the sidelink information includes a quality of service, QoS, parameter corresponding to a first logical channel for transmitting a first sidelink data flow; receiving, by the terminal, SR configuration information generated by the base station based on the sidelink information, where the SR configuration information is configured to indicate an SR configuration of the first logical channel; and determining, by the terminal, the SR configuration of the first logical channel based on the SR configuration information.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for receiving a downlink signal on the basis of a random-access channel procedure (RACH procedure) by a terminal in an unlicensed band. Specifically, the method may comprise: on the basis of a power ramping counter, configuring transmission power for message A including a first physical random-access channel (PRACH) and a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); on the basis of the transmission power, transmitting message A to a base station; and receiving contention resolution-related message B from the base station in response to message A, wherein an increase is made on the basis that a transmission spatial beam for transmission of message A is configured to be identical to a transmission spatial beam related to transmission of a PRACH preceding message A.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may generate an uplink control information (UCI) message including a scheduling request bit multiplexed with a first UCI bit and a second UCI bit, including: selecting a set of sequences, of a set of candidate sets of sequences, to use for multiplexing the first UCI bit and the second UCI bit, the selection of the set of sequences indicating the scheduling request bit, and multiplexing the first UCI bit and the second UCI bit based at least in part on the set of sequences. The UE may transmit the UCI message. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods, systems and devices for use in a wireless terminal includes transmitting, to a wireless network node, a preamble comprising a plurality of parts, wherein each of the plurality of parts comprises at least one sub-preamble and the sub-preambles in the plurality of parts are generated based on a plurality of roots.

Abstract: A sidelink transmission and an uplink transmission that is carrying a sidelink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) are both scheduled for transmission in a shared time window. If a priority associated with the sidelink HARQ is considered to be higher than a priority associated with the sidelink transmission, then a higher priority is assigned to the uplink transmission, regardless of whether the uplink transmission contains other uplink data. Otherwise, if the uplink transmission does not carry other uplink data, then the higher priority is assigned to the sidelink transmission. Greater transmission resources are given to the transmission with the higher priority.

Abstract: A method of operating an aerosol generating apparatus is disclosed. The method comprises: sensing, at a first sensor of a sensor arrangement, a first indicia of an article comprising aerosolisable medium; sensing, at a second sensor of the sensor arrangement spaced a predetermined distance from the first sensor, a second indicia of the article; determining a distance between the first indicia and the second indicia; and operating the aerosol generating apparatus based at least on the distance between the first indicia and the second indicia.
