An apparatus comprising a processor and memory including computer program code, the memory and computer program code configured to, with the processor, enable the apparatus at least to: generate an indication of one or more communication network receiver upload zones for a road data gatherer along a planned route to be travelled by the road data gatherer, the indication determined according to a predetermined upload criterion, which takes account of the bandwidth capacities of communication network receivers along the planned route for the road data gatherer, to specify communication network receivers to be used by the road data gatherer for uploading of road data; and provide the indication to guide uploading of the road data gathered by the road data gatherer.

A computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE). configure the UE for NR communication. The instructions cause the UE to decode sidelink control information (SCI). The SCI includes scheduling information and priority information. The scheduling information indicates time resource assignment and frequency resource assignment for sidelink data communications using a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH). The instructions further cause the UE to detect that a transmission (Tx) of a first set of physical sidelink feedback channels (PSFCHs) would overlap in time with a reception (Rx) of a second set of PSFCHs. The first and second sets of PSFCHs include sidelink feedback control information for the sidelink data communications. The instructions further cause transmission of at least one PSFCH from the first set of PSFCHs or the second set of PSFCHs based on the priority information.

User equipment (UEs) within a sidelink communications system may employ control forwarding techniques. For example, a UE may piggyback resource reservation information received from other UEs when broadcasting its own resource reservation. A UE that may be in line of sight (LOS) with two other UEs that themselves are in a non-line of sight (NLOS) situation and may include resource reservation information associated with other UEs when broadcasting the control information. For example, when forwarding control information, a UE may identify additional resources available in a transmission interval, and may convey neighbor control information (e.g., known resource reservations of other UEs in the sidelink communications system) using the additional resources. In some cases, the piggybacked resource reservation information associated with the other UEs may be selected based on the amount of additional resources in the transmission interval, a priority of known resource reservation information, etc.

A system for managing QoS provided to user equipment included in an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) by a wireless communication system comprising base stations, each providing radio coverage over a corresponding cell. The system comprises one or more computing devices to execute: a setup module to receive data identifying a predetermined path, and send a request of allocating dedicated radio resources for wireless links, the requested dedicated radio resources being expected sufficient to guarantee a QoS not lower than a predefined QoS value, and a QoS verify module to receive QoS data indicative of measured QoS and position data indicative of an actual position of the UAV during traveling, and verify whether the QoS actually during travelling is not lower than the predefined QoS value of the received QoS data and verify whether an actual path followed by the UAV corresponds to the predetermined path of the received position data.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may obtain a channel occupancy time (COT) in an unlicensed frequency spectrum band. The COT may include an initial time interval for an initial transmission and a subsequent time interval for a subsequent transmission. In the initial time interval, the UE may transmit control information and data to another UE, where the control information indicates the subsequent time interval. The other UE may selectively perform communications during the subsequent time interval. The UE may perform the subsequent transmission during the subsequent time interval.
