Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a solution of transmitting sidelink (SL) feedback information on non-contiguous resource sets. In this solution, in accordance with a determination that a plurality of feedback transmission occasions for sidelink transmissions are mapped on non-contiguous resource sets, an apparatus determines a group of contiguous resource sets mapped with a subset of the plurality of feedback transmission occasions; and transmits feedback information on the group of contiguous resource sets.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium for resource exclusion. In a method, an apparatus determines at least one resource block (RB) set where a consistent listen before talking (LBT) failure is detected for the at least one RB set. Then, the apparatus determines the number of available candidate resources within a time window where the available candidate resources exclude candidate resources on the at least one RB set within the time window.

Abstract: Various example embodiments provide efficient jitter control by means of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process. Abase station may transmit to a UE a forwarding time parameter for data packet(s) associated with a HARQ process. The UE 110 may store the data packet(s) in a HARQ buffer and determine to hold the data packet(s) in the HARQ buffer until a delivery time determined based on the forwarding time parameter. Once the delivery time has been reached, the UE may forward the data packets to higher protocol layers. This enables efficient jitter control of a data packet flow. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a user equipment from a network entity, a first downlink (DL) control signal activating semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) of a first set of downlink data transmissions, the downlink control signal indicating an applicable hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing for the first set of downlink data transmissions and receiving one or more of the first set of downlink data transmissions. The user equipment may determine that an applicable HARQ feedback timing for a second set of downlink data transmission previously received with an inapplicable HARQ feedback timing has not been provided. In response to the determination, the user equipment may determine a HARQ feedback timing for the one or more of the first set of downlink data transmissions based a second DL control signal indicating an applicable HARQ feedback timing received after reception of the one or more of the first set of downlink data transmissions.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium provide sidelink beam alignment between devices. In the context of a method performed by a first user equipment (UE), the first UE causes transmission of a first plurality of reference signals to a second UE to facilitate selection of a first preferred beam among a plurality of beams of the second UE. The method also receives a second plurality of reference signals from the second UE using a plurality of beams of the first UE. The method further includes selecting a second preferred beam from the plurality of beams of the first UE based on the second plurality of reference signals.

Abstract: A method of transmitting data from a user equipment (UE) in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state to a network node is described. The example method includes detecting presence of data for transmitting to the network node and determining whether the user equipment (UE) allows a mode of operation using pre-allocated resources in the RRC inactive state for user data transmission. The example method further includes transmitting the data from the user equipment (UE) to the network node in response to determining that the user equipment (UE) allows the mode of operations using pre-allocated resources in the inactive radio resource control (RRC) state for user data transmission.

Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided an apparatus configured to perform the following. The apparatus establishes itself as a timing source terminal device for sidelink communication and estimates a first time uncertainty caused by the apparatus for sidelink communication. Then, the apparatus causes transmission of information on at least one of the first time uncertainty and a combined time uncertainty to one or more target terminal devices. The combined time uncertainty corresponds to a combination of the first time uncertainty and a second time uncertainty. The second time uncertainty corresponds to a time uncertainty of reference time defined in reference time information.
