Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which two or more UEs of a wireless communications system may establish a sidelink connection. A first UE that is initiating sidelink communications may evaluate whether the sidelink connection can support a quality of service (QoS) for a data flow prior to admitting the data flow. The first UE may evaluate a link quality with one or more other UEs that are to use the data flow on the sidelink connection, evaluate system congestion of time/frequency resources that are available for the sidelink connection, or any combinations thereof, and admit the data flow based on the evaluation. A link quality of the sidelink connection may be determined based on a type of communication associated with the data flow, such as unicast communications with one other UE, multicast communications with multiple other UEs, or broadcast transmissions to multiple UEs.

Embodiments herein provide a wireless communication system for managing a network slice congestion. The wireless communication system includes a User Equipment (UE), operably coupled to a core network. The UE is configured to transmit a first NAS signaling message to the core network, wherein the first NAS signaling message comprises a specific network slide identity. The core network i configured to detect the network slice congestion in the wireless communication system. Further, the core network is configured to indicate the network slice congestion using a second NAS signaling message to the User Equipment (UE), wherein the second NAS signaling message comprising a reject cause value and a back off timer for the requested network slice identity.

A network device determines radio frequency (RF) conditions at a first endpoint and a second endpoint of a call or session. The network device determines optimum first codec parameters for the determined RF conditions at the first endpoint of the call or session, and determines optimum second codec parameters for the determined RF conditions at the second endpoint of the call or session. The network device sends the first codec parameters to the first endpoint for altering operation of a first codec at a first device at the first endpoint. The network device sends the second codec parameters to the second endpoint for altering operation of a second codec at a second device at the second endpoint.

Example communication methods and apparatus are described. One example communication method includes receiving first indication information by a first network element from a second network element, where the first indication information is used to indicate that a current condition supports establishment of a session of a first network for a terminal apparatus. The first network element obtains first quality of service (QoS) control information of a first session of the terminal apparatus after receiving the first indication information, where the first session is a session established by the terminal apparatus by using a second network. The first network element sends the first QoS control information to the second network element.

To flexibly control the number of user planes in a communication system.

In the communication system, a base station located on a local area network is connected to at least one user plane function located on a cloud. Whether or not to add a new user plane function is determined in consideration of an amount of traffic of user data and an assumed amount of traffic of the new user plane function out of a maximum amount of traffic on the local area network, the user data being transferred by the at least one user plane function by use of the local area network.

Embodiments of a multi-link device (MLD) are generally described herein. The MLD may be configured for multi-link communication on a plurality of links. The MLD may be configured with a plurality of stations (STAs). Each STA may be a logical entity that includes a singly addressable instance of a medium access control (MAC) layer and a physical (PHY) layer of a link of the plurality of links. The MLD may configure traffic identifier (TID) assignment for the MLD for multi-link communication with another MLD. The multi-link communication may be configurable to support one or more data streams, wherein each of the data streams corresponds to a TID. The MLD may determine an assignment of the TIDs to the STAs of the MLD.

A base station central unit receives, from a base station distributed unit, assistance information indicating whether subsequent data is expected for a small data transmission (SDT) procedure of a wireless device. The base station central unit transmits a radio resource control (RRC) release message to the wireless device based on the assistance information.

A method, device, and non-transitory computer-readable medium provide for scanning, by a device, a radio service area of a small cell radio access node to detect radio signals of one or more radio frequency (RF) bands, the radio signals including transmissions associated with one or more other small cell radio access nodes that are operating in a vicinity of the small cell radio access node, and the small radio access node being configured to alternately operate at multiple RF bands including the one or more RF bands; determining, by the device, a signal strength associated with each of the one or more RF bands; and dynamically optimizing, by device, operation of the small cell radio access node based on the signal strength associated with each of the one or more RF bands.

The method comprises: a terminal reports first information to a network device, the first information being used for assisting the terminal or the network device to perform delay compensation, so that high clock synchronization precision is maintained between the terminal and the network device.

A wireless communication method and a terminal device are provided. The method is applied to a terminal device and comprises: acquiring Configured Grant (CG) configuration information; and performing a sidelink (SL) transmission based on the CG configuration information.
