Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for packet header compression. The method can include receiving a packet in a communication device having resources for packet compression, parsing a header of the packet to obtain header information, and determining whether to compress the header of the packet based on the header information and status of the resources for packet compression in the communication device.

A method for transmitting in a communication network uplink data from an application module in a user terminal. The method includes: determining, by said user terminal, if a correspondence exists between an application module providing at least one uplink packet and at least one rule designating a network slice instantiation to be used for transmitting uplink packets in the communication network; and in response to a determination by said user terminal that the application module providing at least one uplink packet corresponds to a rule designating a network slice instantiation to be used for transmitting the uplink packet in the communication network, transmitting said at least one uplink packet from the user terminal to an entity for access to a user plane of the designated network slice instantiation.

A repeater node of a telecommunications network wirelessly communicates with a parent node and another node. The repeater node comprises receiver circuitry, processor circuitry, and transmitter circuitry. The receiver circuitry is configured to receive a frame of information from the parent node. The processor circuitry is configured to include a customized control signal in the frame of information received from the parent node. The customized control signal is customized for the repeater node. The transmitter circuitry is configured to transmit the frame of information which includes the customized control signal to the other node which may be a wireless terminal.

The method comprises: according to a first reference signal measurement quantity threshold, a terminal device determining a target reference signal measurement quantity threshold used by the terminal device, wherein the first reference signal measurement quantity threshold is a reference signal measurement quantity threshold corresponding to a first-type terminal, the terminal device belongs to the first-type terminal, and the first-type terminal comprises a reduced capability terminal; or, according to a reference signal measurement quantity threshold corresponding to a second-type terminal and a capability of the first-type terminal, the terminal device determining a target reference signal measurement quantity threshold used by the terminal device, wherein the terminal device belongs to the first-type terminal, the first-type terminal comprises the reduced capability terminal, and the second-type terminal does not comprise the reduced capability terminal.

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods for non-terrestrial network communication in wireless communication systems.

A method by a reduced capability wireless device includes receiving system information from a network node. The system information comprising information specific to the reduced capability wireless device. The reduced capability wireless device performs an operation using at least the information specific to the reduced capability wireless device received in the system information.

Channel occupancy time (COT) aware sensing and resource selection for new radio-unlicensed (NR-U) sidelink operations is disclosed. A first sidelink user equipment (UE) determines a sensing window or resource selection window (RSW) based on a projected listen-before-talk (LBT) completion time. The UE may sense for a subset of sideline resources within the RSW and COT-SI from a neighboring sidelink UE including identification of a COT initiated by the neighboring UE and one or more parameters associated with the COT. The UE may identify in-COT resources of located within the COT and out-of-COT resources located outside of the COT and then randomly select a set of transmission resources from the in-COT and out-of-COT resources. The UE may then transmit to a second UE using the set of transmission resources.

A method for transmitting in a communication network uplink data from an application module in a user terminal. The method includes: determining, by said user terminal, if a correspondence exists between an application module providing at least one uplink packet and at least one rule designating a network slice instantiation to be used for transmitting uplink packets in the communication network; and in response to a determination by said user terminal that the application module providing at least one uplink packet corresponds to a rule designating a network slice instantiation to be used for transmitting the uplink packet in the communication network, transmitting said at least one uplink packet from the user terminal to an entity for access to a user plane of the designated network slice instantiation.

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a radio network node for handling transmission of data from a wireless device in a wireless communication network. The radio network node determines a delay value for a transmission of data from the wireless device based on a transmission type of data from the wireless device or a capability of the wireless device. The capability is related to a processing time for processing received data from the radio network node, or for processing data for transmission to the radio network node. The radio network node further transmits an indication, to the wireless device, which indication indicates the determined delay value.

A relay User Equipment (UE) determining method and a device are provided. The relay UE determining method includes: obtaining relay-related information corresponding to each candidate UE in at least one candidate UE; and performing relay UE selection or relay UE reselection according to the relay-related information corresponding to each candidate UE.
