This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for transmitting, to one or more local area network clients of the device, a multicast message indicating an available network slice, receiving, from a first local area network client of the one or more local area network clients based on the multicast message, a request to access the available network slice, establishing, at the device based on receiving the request, a connection associated with the available network slice, and transmitting, to the first local area network client based on establishing the connection, a confirmation to access the available network slice.

Various embodiments provide methods for Internet Protocol (IP) packet handling. Various embodiments may enable downlink (DL) data prioritization of IP packets for time-sensitive applications, for example by using differentiated services code point (DSCP) indications or type-of-service (TOS) indications in headers of the IP packets to distinguish prioritized IP packets from non-prioritized IP packets. In various embodiments, IP packets that are prioritized IP packets may be sent to another processor of a wireless device using a prioritized traffic handling configuration that has a lower latency than a default traffic handling configuration used for sending non-prioritized IP packets. Various embodiments may further enable uplink (UL) data prioritization of IP packets.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method, system, or devices for wireless communications may implement receiving a grant for a first transmission scheduled for a first set of resources, the first transmission associated with a first transmission parameter; receiving an indication to cancel the first transmission; dropping the first transmission based on receiving the indication; determining a second transmission parameter for a second transmission based on the first transmission parameter and irrespective of dropping the first transmission; and performing or receiving the second transmission according to the second transmission parameter. Alternatively, a device may receive an indication to cancel the second transmission; drop the second transmission based on receiving the indication; and refraining from rescheduling the first transmission on the first set of resources based on receiving the indication and irrespective of dropping the second transmission.

A method for utilizing quality of service information in a network with tunneled backhaul is disclosed, comprising: establishing a backhaul bearer at a base station with a first core network, the backhaul bearer established by a backhaul user equipment (UE) at the base station, the backhaul bearer having a single priority parameter, the backhaul bearer terminating at a first packet data network gateway in the first core network; establishing an encrypted internet protocol (IP) tunnel between the base station and a coordinating gateway in communication with the first core network and a second core network; facilitating, for at least one UE attached at the base station, establishment of a plurality of UE data bearers encapsulated in the secure IP tunnel, each with their own QCI; and transmitting prioritized data of the plurality of UE data bearers via the backhaul bearer and the coordinating gateway to the second core network.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration for buffer status reporting associated with a sidelink between the first UE and a second UE and a link between the first UE and a base station; generate a buffer status report (BSR) based at least in part on the configuration, wherein the BSR includes buffer reporting information for one or more logical channels on the sidelink between the first UE and the second UE, and buffer reporting information for one or more logical channels on the link between the first UE and the base station; and provide the BSR to the base station. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein that relate to Time Sensitive Communication (TSC) to Fifth Generation (5G) Quality of Service (QoS) mapping and associated QoS binding. In one embodiment, a method for QoS mapping in a 5G System (5GS) for a virtual Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) bridge comprises, at a first network function, obtaining information from a TSN Application Function (AF) comprising baseline TSC QoS parameters and one or more additional parameters comprising either or both of: (a) one or more additional TSC QoS attributes and (b) one or more additional traffic attributes. The method further comprises, at the first network function, generating one or more Policy and Charging Control (PCC) rules based on the obtained information and providing the one or more PCC rules to a second network function. The method further comprises, at the second network function, performing QoS binding based on the one or more PCC rules.

A wireless communication device according to an embodiment includes one or more hardware processors. The one or more hardware processors: collect forwarding load information about wireless communications in a wireless multi-hop network; determine, based on the forwarding load information, a degree of forwarding priority for a packet corresponding to a forwarding determination target; perform a forwarding control such that the packet corresponding to the forwarding determination target is forwarded earlier as the degree of forwarding priority is higher; and, when the packet corresponding to the forwarding determination target is forwarded, transmit the packet corresponding to the forwarding determination target by multi-cast communications or broadcast communications.

In a 5G network, a slice controller is arranged to dynamically configure a radio access network (RAN) by allocating physical radio resources into RAN slices by making predictions of channel state information (CSI) for user equipment (UE) executing applications that make connectivity requests for admission to particular identified slices. The slice controller grants or denies admission requests based on the predicted CSI to ensure that applicable service level agreement (SLA) guarantees are satisfied for traffic across all the RAN slices. Each time new admission requests are received from applications, the slice controller determines whether a suitable RAN configuration exists that will enable SLA guarantees for the slices to continue to be satisfied for the current traffic while also meeting the SLA guarantees applicable to the new admission request.

An infrastructure device includes a transceiver, programmed to communicate with a plurality of vehicles, wherein at least one of the vehicles is located within a distance defined from a location of the infrastructure device, and at least one of the vehicles is located outside the distance from the location of the infrastructure device; and a controller, programmed to measure a channel busy ratio (CBR) for communication with the plurality of vehicles, measure a package error rate (PER) for communication with one or more of the vehicles located within the distance, and responsive to the CBR being greater than a CBR threshold, or the PER being greater than a PER threshold, record an interference event into a log.

This application provides data transmission methods and apparatuses, to introduce a buffer status report (BSR) mechanism through multi-link (ML) cooperation, to improve performance of scheduling a station by an ML device. In an example method, a multi-link transmit end determines BSR signaling sent to a multi-link receive end, where the BSR signaling can enable the multi-link receive end to schedule a station of the multi-link transmit end over one or more links. Further, the multi-link transmit end sends the B SR signaling to the multi-link transmit end over the one or more links. This introduces a BSR mechanism through ML cooperation.
