The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for non-terrestrial network communication in wireless communication systems.

A 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate after a 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long-term evolution (LTE). A method may be performed by an intelligent controller may, and include obtaining first information related to user equipment (UE) identity of an open (O)-RAN from an E2 node, obtaining second information related to the UE identity from a network exposure function (NEF) of a 5th generation (5G) core network (5GC), generating an A1 policy message through comparison based on the first information and the second information, and transmitting the A1 policy message to a near-real time (RT) radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (RIC) via an A1 interface, the first information may include a general public subscription identifier (GPSI), an access and mobility management function (AMF) UE NGAP ID related to the 5GC and a globally unique AMF ID (GUAMI) related to the 5GC, and the second information may include an AMF UE NGAP ID related to the 5GC and a GUAMI related to the 5GC.

A method by a reduced capability wireless device includes receiving system information from a network node. The system information comprising information specific to the reduced capability wireless device. The reduced capability wireless device performs an operation using at least the information specific to the reduced capability wireless device received in the system information.

An information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to: acquire mobile body information including information that indicates the respective positions of a plurality of mobile bodies that are usable for machine learning; and select two or more mobile bodies to be used for machine learning based on the mobile body information.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some cases, an application enabler layer (e.g., a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) application enabler (VAE) layer), may identify a congestion control configuration that includes capabilities for collecting operation information. The application enabler layer may receive, from a set of user equipment (UEs), the operation information in accordance with the capabilities. Then, the application enabler layer may generate congestion control instructions for one or more UEs of the set of UEs based on the received operation information. Additionally or alternatively, an application enabler architecture layer (e.g., a service enabler architecture layer for verticals (SEAL)) may identify a congestion control configuration including capabilities for collecting operation information and monitor sidelink performance for the set of UEs in accordance with the capabilities. The application enabler architecture layer may identify a congestion status for a communication type based on monitoring the sidelink performance.

This application provides network device capacity expansion methods and devices. One method includes: obtaining network performance data of a target network device, determining a state of the target network device based on the network performance data of the target network device, and determining, based on the state of the target network device, whether to perform capacity expansion for the target network device. In the foregoing technical solution, whether a capacity expansion operation needs to be performed on a network device can be determined in a timely manner based on a state of the network device.

Channel occupancy time (COT) aware sensing and resource selection for new radio-unlicensed (NR-U) sidelink operations is disclosed. A first sidelink user equipment (UE) determines a sensing window or resource selection window (RSW) based on a projected listen-before-talk (LBT) completion time. The UE may sense for a subset of sideline resources within the RSW and COT-SI from a neighboring sidelink UE including identification of a COT initiated by the neighboring UE and one or more parameters associated with the COT. The UE may identify in-COT resources of located within the COT and out-of-COT resources located outside of the COT and then randomly select a set of transmission resources from the in-COT and out-of-COT resources. The UE may then transmit to a second UE using the set of transmission resources.

A method of and an application server and user equipment for providing at least one of chat and Voice over Internet Protocol, chat/VoIP, services to the mobile user equipment in a mobile telecommunications network. The mobile user equipment comprises a chat/VoIP client for accessing a chat/VoIP service application interfacing the mobile telecommunications network. The chat/VoIP service application interfaces a plurality of proprietary chat/VoIP clients for accessing a plurality of proprietary chat/VoIP communication environments operated by a plurality of chat/VoIP service providers, for providing chat/VoIP services to the chat/VoIP client of the mobile user equipment. The chat/VoIP client and the chat/VoIP service application may be arranged such that privileged use of the mobile telecommunications network is enabled, providing a session between the user equipment and a communication environment with a predetermined or agreed Quality of Service.

A method may comprise transmitting using a first uplink carrier and receiving a signal using a first downlink carrier. The signal may include a message indicating activation of a second uplink carrier. A method may further comprise initiating, based on the message, a timer associated with deactivation of the second uplink carrier. The method may further comprise transmitting using the second uplink carrier activated based on the message and deactivating the second uplink carrier on a condition that expiration of the timer is detected.
