Abstract: A method may include transmitting a request groupcast message to a plurality of user equipment for their respective preferred or non-preferred resources. The method may also include receiving an information message including the preferred or the non-preferred resources from each user equipment of the plurality of user equipment in response to the request groupcast message. The method may further include identifying, based on the information message, at least one resource from the preferred or non-preferred resources for selection by the plurality of user equipment. In addition, the method may include notifying, via information tethering, to each user equipment of the plurality of user equipment, the identified at least one resource that corresponds to the apparatus and to each user equipment of the plurality of user equipment.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and computer-readable medium are disclosed for adjusting frequency domain resource allocation. In an embodiment, there is provided a method comprising: transmitting an information element configuring a first channel status information, CSI, report of a user equipment, wherein the information element indicates a size and a starting point of resource blocks or resource block groups configured to a first subband; receiving, from the user equipment, the first CSI report for a set of the resource blocks or resource block groups of the first subband; determining based on the first CSI report, a second frequency domain resource to be used to configure a second transmission occasion, wherein the second frequency domain resource is different from a first frequency domain resource used to configure a first transmission occasion; and transmitting configuration information related to the first transmission occasion and the second transmission occasion.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and systems for signaling buffer sizes in a communication network are disclosed.

Abstract: Enhanced uplink configured grant for extended reality applications is provided. A method for enhanced uplink configured grant for extended reality applications may include configuring at least one first transmission of a plurality of transmissions by a user equipment with a transmission parameter having a first value. The method may also include configuring the user equipment with at least one rule configured to change the first value of the transmission parameter to a second value of the transmission parameter that is applied to at least one second transmission of the plurality of transmissions, which is used for a new data transmission.

Abstract: In some examples, a method of wireless communication by a user equipment, UE, comprises receiving configured grant, CG, configuration data at a first UE, the CG configuration data comprising bi-directional CG information for an aligned sidelink communication session between the first UE and a second UE, monitoring for receipt of a first transmission of the communication session at the first UE, and on the basis of the monitoring, acquiring the channel for the sidelink communication session at the first UE.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method comprising receiving, by a first terminal device, a first transmission from a second terminal device. The first terminal device measures a channel busy ratio over a first time window. The first terminal device determines a channel occupancy ratio of the second terminal device based at least partly on the received first transmission. The first terminal device updates the channel busy ratio based at least partly on the determined channel occupancy ratio and the measured channel busy ratio. The first terminal device determines one or more sidelink transmission parameters based at least partly on the updated channel busy ratio.

Abstract: Apparatus and method in a communication system for enhanced carrier selection are provided. The solution comprises selecting a carrier for first transmission to a second apparatus; controlling transmission utilising the selected carrier; receiving a transmission from the second apparatus and selecting a carrier for second transmission to the second apparatus at least partly based on the transmission from the second apparatus.

Abstract: Apparatus and method in a communication system for reconfiguring resources for transmission are disclosed. More than one sidelink transmissions are transmitted to a second apparatus. It is determined that reception status feedbacks are not received regarding a given number of sidelink transmissions. Transmission resource used for sidelink transmission is reconfigured based on the determination.

Abstract: A device receiving a transmission is configured to provide its feedback in a unique resource pattern within a set of resources (a resource pool). The resource pattern used by the device overlaps partially with one or more resource patterns used for feedback transmissions by other devices in the group. The transmitting device is able to identify the device by identifying an activation pattern matching the unique resource pattern of the device in the overall feedback that it receives from the devices of the group.
