A method for an apparatus operating in a wireless communication network. The method includes: determining at least one functional safety indicator that indicates at least whether associated data, especially V2X data that comprises at least one of a vehicle operating parameter and a roadway event, or industrial data that comprises a machine operating parameter, or building technology data that comprises building operational data, is relevant according to at least one safety integrity level; and transmitting the data along with the at least one determined functional safety indicator.

The disclosure provides example communication methods and apparatuses. One example method includes that a terminal device receives first transmission capability information of a first universal subscriber identity module (USIM) from a first access network device corresponding to the first USIM, where the first transmission capability information of the first USIM comprises single communication duration of the first USIM and a single communication periodicity of the first USIM, and the terminal device includes the first USIM and a second USIM. The first terminal device sends a first response message to the first access network device based on a transmission capability requirement of the first USIM and a service of the terminal device, where the first response message indicates that use of the first transmission capability information of the first USIM is either accepted or rejected, or the first response message comprises second transmission capability information of the first USIM.

A radio communication apparatus in a wireless mesh network includes reception circuitry, which, in operation, receives a radio signal; and control circuitry, which, in operation, determines a candidate radio device that is not selected as a forwarding destination of the received radio signal, based on destination information of the received radio signal and information on a group to which another candidate radio device capable of communication belongs.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products provide for specifying, in quality of service (QoS) requests, alternative QoS-related parameter sets and/or alternative traffic pattern parameter sets. In the context of one method, the method receives a QoS request comprising one or more QoS parameters and/or one or more traffic pattern parameters, and one or more alternative QoS parameter sets and/or one and more alternative traffic pattern parameter sets. The method also selects the one or more QoS parameters or an alternative QoS parameter set of the one or more alternative QoS parameter sets based on a supporting capability of a network. The method also causes transmission of a Policy and Charging Control (PCC) rule based on the selected parameters and transmits an indication of the selected parameters.

A communication procedure (e.g., a small data transmission (SDT) procedure) may be used for data transmission under certain scenarios. The communication procedure may facilitate transmission of small amounts of data, for example, even if a wireless device is in a non-connected state with respect to a network. Data transmission during the communication procedure may be based on a selected transmission type and the transmission type may be changed during the communication procedure.

A user equipment (UE) includes a processor and a transmitter. The processor performs a neural network computation to generate a plurality of neural network computation results, wherein the neural network computation results are included in a data packet, and the neural network computation results are intermediate data of the neural network computation. The transmitter transmits the data packet to a base station. The data packet includes a descriptor and the descriptor includes parameters and settings corresponding to the neural network computation results.

A technique involves modular storage of network service plan components and provisioning of same. A subset of the capabilities of a service design system can be granted to a sandbox system to enable customization of service plan offerings or other controls.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for search space alignment for control channel monitoring. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes aligning a first set of monitoring occasions associated with a common search space (CSS) with a second set of monitoring occasions associated with a UE-specific search space (USS). The method further includes monitoring for signals from a network entity via at least one of the CSS or the USS in the aligned first and second set of monitoring occasions. The method also includes communicating with a network entity based on reception of at least one of the signals in the aligned first and second set of monitoring occasions.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A remote unit (RU) of a base station may report, to a distributed unit (DU) of the base station, a message indicating that the RU supports an RU processing capability that is one of a first processing capability or a second processing capability. The first processing capability corresponds to additional physical layer signal processing at the RU than does the second processing capability. The RU may receive one or more uplink signals from a user equipment (UE) or accept one or more downlink signals from the DU, or both and process the one or more signals in accordance with the RU processing capability. The RU may forward the processed uplink signals from the RU to the DU via an application programming interface (API) that supports both the first processing capability and the second processing capability (e.g., a generalized API).
