A connected car and an onboard user equipment (UE) may establish independent cellular connections and may also establish a connection between each other. The UE establishes a first cellular link between the UE and a first network, establishes a connection with a connected car, wherein the connected car has a second cellular link between the connected car and a second network, evaluates one or more conditions and declares one of the first cellular link or the connection with the connected car a primary network interface for the UE based on, at least, the one or more conditions.

Method and apparatus for signaling enabling a state transition of a transmission mode. The apparatus measures at least one reference signal from a serving TRP to determine a link quality between the UE and the serving TRP. The apparatus transmits feedback including a state transition indication if the link quality between the UE and the serving TRP falls below a threshold. The feedback enables a state transition of a transmission mode.

Methods and devices related to a cellular signal mesh network are described. In an example, a method can include determining, via a processing resource of a first computing device, whether a cellular signal of the first computing device is below a threshold cellular signal, transmitting from the first computing device to a second computing device first signaling including data representing a request for operational data of the second computing device in response to determining that the cellular signal of the first computing device is below the threshold cellular signal, receiving from the second computing device second signaling comprising the operational data of the second computing device, and transmitting from the first computing device to the second computing device third signaling including data representing at least one of: a voice call, a video call, or a message in response to receiving the second signaling comprising the operational data.

Disclosed are: a communication technique for merging, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system; and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, security and safety related services, and the like) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. The present invention relates to a method by which a terminal for performing vehicle communication (connected car or vehicle to everything) in a wireless communication system improves reliability in data transmission.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment device (UE) to perform methods for network assisted side-link resource configuration for unicast and/or multi-cast/groupcast communications in V2X networks. A UE may, after establishing an RRC connection with a base station, transmit, to the base station, V2X connection information. The V2X connection information may include a V2X identifier associated with the UE and a V2X identifier associated with a target UE. The UE may receive, from the base station, a side-link configuration for data transmission with the target UE. The side-link configuration may include a resource allocation defined in time and frequency (e.g., a transmit/receive pool). The UE may communicate with the target UE using the resource allocation included in the side-link configuration.

A method and device are disclosed from the perspective of a relay UE. In one embodiment, the relay UE establishes a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with a network node. The relay UE also transmits a Layer 2. Identity (L2ID) of the relay UE to the network node. Furthermore, the relay UE receives a local UE Identity (ID) for a remote UE and a L2ID of the remote UE from the network node. In addition, the relay UE establishes a PC5 connection with the remote UE. The relay UE further receives a first RRC Reconfiguration Complete message from the remote UE. The relay UE also transmits the first RRC Reconfiguration Complete message to the network node, wherein the first RRC Reconfiguration Complete message is included in an adaptation layer Protocol Data Unit (PDU) for transmission and the local UE ID for the remote UE is included in a header of the adaptation layer PDU.

The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method and apparatus for interruption handling for V2X communication are provided.

Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a C-V2X capable wireless device configured to operate according to a first sidelink mode where communication resources are allocated by a network and a second sidelink mode where communication resources are autonomously allocated by the wireless device. The wireless device detects a change in a coverage scenario associated with the first sidelink mode; performs resource sensing for the second sidelink mode; and based at least in part on detecting the change in the coverage scenario, transmits first communications using the second sidelink mode, wherein resources for transmitting the first communications are allocated based at least in part on the resource sensing.

Each of relay terminals transmits a wireless packet received from a wireless sensor and a reception strength of Bluetooth wireless communication to a control device using a first HCI packet, and returns a response to the wireless packet to a source wireless sensor, which is a source of the wireless packet, only when a second HCI packet is received from the control device. The control device compares the reception strengths, among the reception strengths received through the first HCI packets from the relay terminals, that pertain to the same packet transmitted from the same wireless sensor and received by the plurality of relay terminals, transmits the second HCI packet only to one target relay terminal having the highest reception strength, and relays the sensor data stored in the target relay device to a host device.
