    Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from enhanced cell capacity. For example, certain embodiments may benefit from improved packet capacity by managing transmissions in a cell. A method, in certain embodiments, may include determining at a network node whether a packet is of a service type. The service type may indicate that the packet is discardable. The method may also include calculating at the network node a probability factor or a scheduling adjustment factor for transmission of the packet, when it is determined that the packet is of the service type. In addition, the method may include determining at the network node whether to transmit the packet to a user equipment based on the probability factor, or adjusting at the network node a scheduler metric based on the scheduling adjustment factor.

    Abstract: A user equipment apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory. The at least one memory stores instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the user equipment apparatus at least to: receive, from a network device, an instruction to provide backscattering service to at least one ambient IoT device for a service period of time T; provide, based on the instruction, the backscattering service to at least one device; decide to cease providing the backscattering service prior to an end of the service period of time T; and transmit, to the network device prior to the end of the service period of time T, a notification indicating the decision to cease providing the backscattering service.

    Abstract: A user equipment apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory. The at least one memory stores instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the user equipment apparatus at least to: receive, from a network device, an instruction to provide backscattering service to at least one ambient IoT device for a service period of time T, the instruction including a configuration for sidelink communication with one or more backup user equipment apparatuses (backup UEs) capable of providing backscattering service to at least one ambient IoT device; and provide, based on the instruction, the backscattering service by transmitting at least one request for tag identification.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for positioning support are provided. One method may include receiving, by a UE configured with power saving feature(s), positioning performance requirements for a positioning session. The method may also include estimating an impact of one or more power saving or reduced capability features on positioning measurements associated with the positioning session and, based on the accuracy and latency requirements and the estimated impact, determining the power saving or reduced capability features that the UE can implement while still achieving the accuracy and latency requirements for the positioning session. The method may then include signaling, to a network node, information on the determined power saving or reduced capability features that the UE can implement while still achieving the required accuracy and latency requirements for the positioning session.

    Abstract: A method for allocating resources in a wireless network by making use of a resource pool and a resource selection policy. A user equipment is configured by a base station to use a pool of resources and a resource selection policy to use to select one or more resources from the pool of resources. The information from the user equipment in the selected resources is provided to the base station. The resource selection policy may include a random choice of resource blocks. The resource selection policies may be defined prior to the configuring, and they may be mapped to quality of service requirements. The base station may determine the resource selection policy from the defined resource selection policies. The method may be used for a policy-based resource pool allocation for low-latency HOT and other applications.
