Abstract: Provided herein is a method for performing, by a first apparatus (100), resource selection in a wireless communication system. The method may include the steps of receiving system information including configuration information related to exceptional pools from a base station (200); selecting the first exceptional pool or the second exceptional pool, based on at least one of a physical layer problem, a connection re-establishment, a handover, or a normal resource pool which is unavailable; selecting a resource from the selected exceptional pool; and performing a sidelink (SL) communication using the resource.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for performing wireless communication is provided. The method may include: transmitting, to a base station, a message including quality of service (QoS) profile information for the first apparatus and on-demand system information request, receiving, from the base station, QoS flow-sidelink radio bearer (SLRB) mapping information representing mapping relation between QoS flow and SLRB and transmitting a transport block to a second apparatus based on a QoS flow for the first apparatus related to the QoS profile information and the QoS flow-SLRB mapping information.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a novel form of communication within a cellular wireless communication network. One aspect of the invention concerns a User Equipment for a cellular network, wherein the UE inter alia includes a first interface for UE-to-Basestation communication configured to communicate with a base station of the cellular network and a second interface for UE-to-UE communication configured to communicate with one or more other UEs of a UE-Group to which the UE belongs. According to the invention the UE is configured to receive via its first interface configuration data for configuring its second interface, and to coordinate, via the second interface, a communication within the UE Group.

Abstract: A receiver includes an antenna, a transceiver coupled to the antenna, a decoder and a processor. The transceiver receives from a transmitter of a wireless communication network a data block. The data block includes encoded data transmitted on a plurality of resources allocated to the receiver. The decoder decodes the encoded data and determines for the allocated resources whether decoding of the encoded data was successful or failed. The processor evaluates whether one or more of the resources for which the decoding failed are included in a report, the report indicating for one or more of the allocated resources that encoded data transmitted on the one or more allocated resources is not decodable or is likely to be not decodable, and causes the transceiver to send a retransmission request to the transmitter responsive to the evaluation.
