Various arrangements for using multiple air interfaces on a frequency channel for side-link communications are presented. Side-link communications may be performed using the first air interface during only a first time-window of a system resource pool while side-link communications may be performed using a second air interface during a second time-window of the system resource pool.

A communication system comprises a fixed network comprising access points for mm wave radio communication using directional beams. A wireless modem of a vehicle comprises a first search circuit searching for a beacon transmission in a first frequency channel. A first data receiver extracts data from a detected beacon signal including: an indication of a first access point transmitting the beacon signal; a first load value indicative of a loading of the first access point; and an indication of a second access point having overlapping coverage with the first access point. Another receiver extracts data from a second beacon signal transmitted by the second access point in a second frequency channel including a second load value indicative of a loading of the second access point. A controller selects a target access point dependent on the first and second load values, and initializes a link setup with the target access point.

The method includes modifying an operation of the V2X radio of the ego vehicle based on the schedule so that the V2X radio transmits the mmWave message to the remote vehicle in compliance with the schedule. The method includes transmitting the mmWave message to the remote vehicle in compliance with the schedule.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for obtaining a Vehicle to Everything Policy (V2XP). The method includes: transmitting, by a terminal device, at least one of first information and second information to a Policy Control Function (PCF), the first information being used for requesting a configuration of a policy for V2X communication over a PC5 interface, and the second information being used for requesting a configuration of a policy for V2X communication over a Uu interface; and receiving, by the terminal device from the PCF, at least one of the policy corresponding to the first information and the policy corresponding to the second information.

A network for providing air-to-ground (ATG) wireless communication in various cells may include an in-flight aircraft including an antenna assembly, a plurality of ATG base stations, a plurality of terrestrial base stations. Each of the ATG base stations defines a corresponding radiation pattern, and the ATG base stations are spaced apart from each other to define at least partially overlapping coverage areas to communicate with the antenna assembly in an ATG communication layer defined between a first altitude and a second altitude. The terrestrial base stations are configured to communicate primarily in a ground communication layer below the first altitude. The terrestrial base stations and the ATG base stations are each configured to communicate using the same radio frequency (RF) spectrum in the ground communication layer and ATG communication layer, respectively.

Systems and methods relating to correction of a Doppler/frequency offset in a wireless communication system are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a node comprises estimating a Doppler/frequency offset for a wireless device based on an uplink signal received from the wireless device and providing a frequency adjustment to the wireless device that corrects for the Doppler/frequency offset. In this manner, the Doppler/frequency offset for a wireless device is determined and corrected.
