Abstract: A first wireless device may communicate with a second wireless device using sidelink resources. Some of the sidelink resources may be allocated for communications using transmissions via multiple slots (e.g., multiple consecutive slots). A size of the multiple slots for the transmission may be determined based on a size threshold of the multiple slots, an amount of data to be sent, and/or a quantity of consecutive sidelink resources in available sidelink resources.

Abstract: A first wireless device receives, from a second wireless device, one or more first sidelink transmissions in one or more first consecutive time slots in a resource pool. The first wireless device determines, based on one or more second consecutive time slots for one or more second sidelink transmissions in the resource pool being overlapped with the one or more first consecutive time slots in time domain, to skip a listen-before-talk (LBT) based channel access procedure for the one or more second sidelink transmissions. The first wireless device transmits, based on the determining and in the one or more second consecutive time slots, the one or more second sidelink transmissions.

Abstract: A first wireless device receives, from a second wireless device and via a first time slot of a channel occupancy time (COT), a first sidelink transmission indicating COT sharing information of the COT. The first wireless device receives, from a third wireless device and via a second time slot of the COT, a second sidelink transmission indicating the COT sharing information of the COT. The first wireless device transmits, via a third time slot of the COT and in response to both the first sidelink transmission and the second sidelink transmission indicating the COT sharing information, a third sidelink transmission. Transmitting the third sidelink transmission is based on a first distance between the first wireless device and the second wireless device, and a second distance between the first wireless device and the third wireless device.

Abstract: Terminal device attempts to initiate a COT-u after the channel is sensed to be idle and transmit a configured grant PUSCH. A start of a time domain resource of the configured grant PUSCH is aligned with the start of the FFP-u. In a case that the FFP-u does not overlap with an IP-g of an FFP-g, the COT-u is initiated and the configured grant PUSCH is transmitted.

Abstract: Terminal device attempts to transmit a PUSCH scheduled by a DCI format after the channel is sensed to be idle. When the start of the PUSCH is not aligned with an FFP-u, in a case that the channel access mode is configured to as semi-static, the terminal device does not initiate a COT, regardless of indication by a ChannelAccess-CPext field in the DCI format.

Abstract: A method for a user equipment (UE) which communicates with a base station is described. The method may comprise acquiring radio resource control (RRC) configuration information. The RRC configuration information may indicate one or more entries, each of the entries specifying a slot format.

Abstract: Terminal device attempts to transmit a PUSCH scheduled by a DCI format after the channel is sensed to be idle. When the start of the PUSCH is aligned with an FFP-u, in a case that the channel access mode is configured as semi-static, a ChannelAccess-CPext field in the DCI format indicates whether to initiate a COT or not.

Abstract: A wireless device selects a first resource for transmission of a sidelink data. The wireless device triggers, in response to determining a channel occupancy time (COT) duration, resource selection for the transmission. The wireless device selects, based on triggering the resource selection, a second resource for the transmission within the COT duration. The wireless device transmits the sidelink data via the second resource.

Abstract: A controller configured to select, from a first method and a second method, one method for determination of a size of a transport block to be transmitted on a PUSCH, based on whether scaling is applied to the transport block, and a transmitter configured to transmit the PUSCH are included. In the first method, the size is determined based on NRE=min(X1, NaRE)·nPRB. In the second method, the size is determined based on NRE=min(X1, NaRE)·nPRB·?. The ? is provided by an RRC parameter. In a case that UCI is multiplexed on the PUSCH, the number of coded modulation symbols for the UCI is based on which method is selected as the one method from the first method and the second method.

The transmitter multiplexes the UCI onto a first PUSCH dynamically scheduled via the first DCI format when the PUCCH conflicts with a first plurality of PUSCHs including the first PUSCH and a second PUSCH for semi-permanently transmitted CSI, and multiplexes the UCI onto a third PUSCH for aperiodically transmitted CSI when the PUCCH conflicts with the third PUSCH.

Abstract: A receiver receives one or multiple first DCI formats, one or multiple second DCI formats, and a third DCI format. The third DCI format does not include a PDSCH group indication field. A PDSCH scheduled by the third DCI format is included in a first PDSCH group. A transmitter transmits a first HARQ-ACK codebook for the first PDSCH group, and/or a second HARQ-ACK codebook for the second PDSCH group. The third DCI format schedules a PDSCH. In a case that the third DCI format is detected, the transmitter transmits an HARQ-ACK bit corresponding to the PDSCH scheduled by the third DCI format.

The base station may further comprise receiving circuitry configured to receive, from the UE, a HARQ-ACK feedback including at least a first HARQ-ACK information bit and a second HARQ-ACK information bit. The first HARQ-ACK information bit may correspond to the first transport block of the PDSCH. The second HARQ-ACK information bit may be set to NACK. A contention window for the channel access procedure may be adjusted using the HARQ-ACK feedback, wherein the second HARQ-ACK information bit may be ignored.

In a case that the starting of the FFP-u collides with an IP-g, a PUSCH transmission overlapping with a period after the sensing slot and before the end of the IP-g is not scheduled. In a case that the starting of the FFP-u does not collide with the IP-g, the PUSCH transmission is scheduled and transmitted.
