One embodiment of the subject application provides a method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising: receiving, from a base station (BS), a first indicator requesting the UE to share a channel occupancy time (COT) for downlink transmission within the COT, wherein the COT is initiated by the UE for transmitting uplink data; determining a first channel access priority class (CAPC) value; initiating the COT by performing a channel access procedure using the first CAPC value; and transmitting, to the BS, at least a part of the uplink data in the COT.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to buffer status reporting (BSR) for data packets. An apparatus, such as a user equipment (UE), receives a data packet associated with a set of data packets for transmission (e.g., a service data unit (SDU) of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) protocol data unit (PDU) set). The set of data packets includes a first subset of data packets (e.g., source data packets) and a second subset of data packets (e.g., redundant data packets). The UE determines a condition is satisfied for transmitting a BSR. The UE transmits the BSR based on a configuration for transmitting the BSR. The BSR indicates a data volume associated with the first subset of data packets and a portion of data packets of the second subset of data packets. In some cases, the base station transmits signaling to the UE indicating the configuration.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to a counter mechanism for discarding data packet sets. An apparatus, such as a user equipment (UE), receives a data packet associated with a set of data packets for transmission (e.g., a service data unit (SDU) of a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) protocol data unit (PDU) set). The UE initiates a timer corresponding to reception of the data packet based on receiving the data packet. The UE increments a counter associated with the set of data packets based on a determination that the timer has expired. The UE discards the data packet of the set of data packets based on the counter satisfying a threshold value and a configuration associated with the discarding of the data packet. In some examples, the base station transmits first signaling to the UE that indicates the timer and/or second signaling that indicates the configuration.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to implementations of CA for sidelink communication are described. Techniques are described for determining and configuring sidelink carrier frequencies for cross-carrier scheduling for sidelink CA communication.

Implementations also enable sidelink HARQ reporting to wireless networks for providing indications of sidelink CA performance.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to conditional execution of cell handover. The techniques discussed herein describe conditional handover using lower-layered signaling (e.g., L1 or L2). In one or more implementations, the UE starts a timer, which may have been configured earlier in a conditional configuration message (also referred to herein as a conditional reconfiguration message) received from a network equipment. If a timing advance (TA) value for a first candidate cell is received before the expiry of this timer, the UE transmits handover completion to the first candidate cell. However, if a TA value for the first candidate cell is received after the expiry of this timer, the UE considers the one or more conditions for the first candidate cell as not fulfilled and may invalidate the TA value and start a fresh evaluation or measurement of the one or more conditions.

The method includes receiving confirmation of the initial configured grant small data transmission. The method includes processing a subsequent configured uplink grant allocated for small data transmission for the initial new transmission of subsequent uplink data of the SDT procedure in response to receiving the confirmation of the initial configured grant small data transmission.
