Abstract: Systems and methods may facilitate initial establishment and/or handover of an air-to-ground (ATG) communication link between an aircraft and a ground-based cellular communication network (e.g., a 5G network). The systems and methods may be particularly applicable for an aircraft having a user equipment (UE) antenna that uses narrow beamforming to connect to a cell of a base station (gNB). The UE identifies candidate cells based upon the location of the UE and locations and orientations of cells in the network, identifies a cell having a higher likelihood of connection success compare to other cells, and directs a beam to the chosen cell. The systems and methods may enable the UE to create neighbor lists in real time based upon the UE location, and may prevent blind searching normally associated with narrow beamforming methods.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of HARQ for NR sidelink communication in unlicensed spectrum. The method comprises receiving, from a second device, an indication of at least two candidate sets of code domain resources for the first device to transmit a feedback message for a sidelink transmission between the first device and a third device; and transmitting, to the third device, the feedback message on a target set of code domain resources determined from the at least two candidate sets of code domain resources based on a listen before talk procedure. In this way, additional code domain resources may provide more available time occasions as backup resources for HARQ feedback of sidelink transmission in unlicensed band, which may increase reliability of HARQ feedback transmission for sidelink communication in unlicensed spectrum.
