This application discloses a communications method, apparatus, and system, and a computer storage medium. A target device determines a first time-frequency sub-resource, and the first time-frequency sub-resource belongs to a first time-frequency resource. The target device sends a first request on the first time-frequency sub-resource, and the first request is used to request access or request scheduling. The first time-frequency resource is a predefined or preconfigured resource used to carry the request of the target device.

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for discontinuous reception (DRX) for a link between a network and a user equipment (UE) based on device-to-device (D2D) communication in a wireless communication system. A method for DRX of a first UE in a wireless communication system may include receiving, from a second UE, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information related to sidelink data transmitted from the first UE; transmitting, by the first UE, HARQ NACK information to a base station in an uplink based on the HARQ feedback information from the second UE; sleeping during an operation of the first timer that starts after the first UE transmits the HARQ NACK information; and monitoring a downlink control channel that includes resource allocation information on a sidelink data retransmission during an operation of a second timer that starts after the first timer expires.

A sidelink transmission and reception methods and apparatuses. The sidelink transmission method includes transmitting first sidelink control information via a physical sidelink control channel; and transmitting second sidelink control information and a first transport block via a physical sidelink shared channel, wherein the first sidelink control information or the second sidelink control information or a media access control protocol data unit of the first transport block indicates or carries triggering information used for triggering a second terminal equipment to report sidelink resource information.

There is provided a UE for configured to operate in a wireless system. The UE comprises: at least one transceiver; at least one processor; and at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising: transmitting first signal which is one of UL signal or SL signal; performing switching between UL transmission and SL transmission; and transmitting second signal, which is different from the first signal, which is one of the UL signal or SL signal.

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes initiating a Small Data Transmission (SDT) procedure for transmitting a first set of data packets to a base station (BS) via an uplink (UL) transmission, determining, while the UE is in a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Inactive state, whether to prioritize the UL transmission over a sidelink (SL) transmission when there is a conflict between the UL transmission and the SL transmission during the SDT procedure, where the SL transmission is for transmitting a second set of data packets to another UE.

Techniques for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information (DCI) scheduling sidelink transmissions in one or more sets of multiple transmission time intervals (TTIs) over a shared spectrum. The UE may perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) for one or more of the TTIs in the one or more sets of multiple TTIs, and the UE may transmit, to a base station, an indication of results of the LBT performed for the one or more TTIs. Because the UE may provide the results of the LBT to the base station, the base station may be able to schedule sidelink transmissions from the UE based on the results of the LBT. As such, the UE may experience increased throughput in sidelink communications since the scheduling at the base station may be improved.

There is provided an apparatus, said apparatus comprising means for providing first control information using a first control channel and at least second control information using a second control channel, wherein the first control information comprises at least an indication of resource reservation for an associated data channel and the second control information comprises at least transmission format information for the associated data channel, wherein the associated data channel comprises periodic or aperiodic data traffic.

The present disclosure relates to a method, a device, and a computer program for selecting a channel in a wireless communication system, and to a recording medium therefor. The method for selecting a channel by a first device in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, may comprise the steps of: receiving a channel categorization report from a second device; and determining a channel map on the basis of at least one of the channel categorization report, a channel sensing result of the first device, and information provided by a host of the first device.

An antenna determination method, apparatus, a terminal device, an electronic device, and a storage medium are disclosed. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, on the premise of establishing communication connection with an opposite terminal device, quality of received signals of at least two antennas are compared, a channel corresponding to the signal with better signal quality is selected as a communication channel, and an antenna corresponding to the communication channel is determined for subsequent signal transmission and reception.

Disclosed herein are an operating method of a first terminal in a wireless communication system and a device for supporting the method. According to an embodiment applicable to the present disclosure, the method may include performing, by the first terminal, a beam alignment with a second terminal and receiving, by the first terminal, downlink control information (DCI) associated with the second terminal from a base station. Herein, the DCI may be decoded based on at least one of a common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), a sidelink-RNTI (SL-RNTI) of the second terminal, and a sidelink connection specific ID. In addition, the method may further include receiving, by the first terminal, a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) and a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) from the second terminal based on the DCI.
