Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for configuring route selection policies. A user device may send, to a computing device, a route selection policy request to update route selection policy rules for applications and/or services of the user device. The computing device may determine the route selection policy rules for the applications and/or services based on various criteria. The computing device may send the determined route selection policy rules to the user device. If the user device does not accept the determined route selection policy rules, the user device may send, to the computing device, a negotiation request to obtain other route selection policy rules for the applications and/or services.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to updating configuration for early data transmission. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, updating configuration for early data transmission is proposed. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device generates records for the early data transmission from the terminal device. The network device transmits the record to the managing device. The managing device updates the configuration for the early data transmission based on the record. In this way, the configurations for the early data transmission can be updated dynamically. The waste on the resources can be avoided and the power at the terminal device can be saved.

Abstract: Systems and methods for allocating resources of an air interface. In one embodiment, a base station communicates with a plurality of User Equipment (UE) within a cell over an air interface. The base station selects a UE group from the UEs in the cell to share a physical downlink control channel, selects a slot format for the UE group, and identifies a slot format indicator for the UE group. The base station generates a group ID for the UE group so that a combination of the group ID and the slot format indicator indicates a slot format value that is mapped to the selected slot format for the UE group, provides the group ID to the UE group, and transmits the slot format indicator on the physical downlink control channel to the UE group.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a device, method, apparatus and computer readable storage medium for reusing control resources for data transmission. In example embodiments, if downlink data is to be transmitted to a terminal device, a network device determines a control resource set associated with the terminal device in a control resource region. The network device selects, from the control resource set, localized control resources for control information associated with the downlink data, and selects data resources for the downlink data in the control resource region and a data resource region. The network device transmits the control information to the terminal device by using the localized control resources, and transmits the downlink data to the terminal device by using the data resources.
