A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network slice-to-transport domain service is provided. The service includes correlating a network slice identifier, an Internet Protocol subnet, and a virtual routing and forwarding instance pertaining to a network slice, and configuring network devices of the network slice with at least a portion of the correlated information. The service may obtain feedback information from the network devices, and evaluate performance metrics pertaining to the network slice based on the correlated information.

Sidelink (SL) resource selection includes determining that all SL resources within an SL resource pool for an SL resource selection window are unclaimed for SL transmission when no prior sensing results are available for an SL channel, and determining which SL resources within the SL resource pool are unclaimed for SL transmission based on the prior sensing results when prior sensing results are available. Unclaimed SL resource(s) are randomly selected, and the SL channel is sensed during one or more slots preceding the randomly selected SL resource(s) to determine availability before transmitting on or signaling the randomly selected SL resource(s). Transmission on a first-in-time of the randomly selected SL resource(s) is based on the availability determination and, in the first-in-time randomly selected SL resource, one or more additional SL resource(s) are signaled based on the availability determination.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A device and a method for managing network slice subnet feasibility in a wireless network are provided. The method includes receiving, from a network slice subnet management service consumer entity, a request message for a feasibility check of at least one network slicing related requirement; performing the feasibility check to determine whether the at least one network slicing related requirement is supported by the provider entity; and transmitting, to the consumer entity, a response message, wherein the response message includes at least one recommended network slicing related requirement which is supported by the provider entity, in case that the at least one network slicing related requirement is not supported by the provider entity.

A first network node is configured for use in a wireless communication network. The first network node determines a modified configuration of a reference signal beam of a serving cell of the first network node. The first network node transmits a first indication to a second network node. The first indication comprises a configuration update message that describes the modified configuration of the reference signal beam of the serving cell.

The present specification provides a method for supporting an operation of a standalone MTC that uses a multi-narrowband in a wireless communication system. More specifically, a method performed by a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, multi-narrowband configuration information related to a plurality of narrowbands defined within an NR bandwidth including a first system bandwidth related to an in-band MTC operation and a second system bandwidth related to a standalone MTC operation; and performing frequency hopping on the plurality of narrowbands, on the basis of the multi-narrowband configuration information.

A configuration management resource receives wireless coverage information indicating a desired wireless coverage to be provided by a new wireless network in a selected geographical region. The configuration management resource retrieves network infrastructure map information and corresponding at least one image to produce the proposed wireless network installation plan. The network infrastructure map information indicates locations of available physical infrastructure to support installation of wireless access points. In addition to analyzing the network infrastructure map information, the configuration management resource also analyzes supplemental image information (such as including one or more images) of the available physical infrastructure to determine corresponding supplemental attributes of the available physical infrastructure. The configuration management resource produces a proposed wireless network installation plan for a new wireless network based on the locations and the corresponding attributes determine from analyzing the image information.
