Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for group semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) for path diversity. A method that may be performed by a node includes configuring one or more groups of user equipments (UEs) with one or more SPS resources. The node sends a downlink control information (DCI) to activate one of the SPS resources for one of the groups of UEs and transmits data to the group of UEs using the activated SPS resource. A first UE may receive data from the node using the activated SPS resource and retransmit the data to the second UE. The first helping UE and the second targeted UE may be identified based on the higher layer configuration with the SPS resources, based on information in the DCI, and/or based on information sent with the data.

Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for pairing multiple devices into a designated group for a communication session are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes processing, via at least a portion of multiple processing devices, information associated with a network in connection with one or more device pairing requests from one or more of the processing devices; implementing, via at least one the multiple processing devices, a pairing algorithm, wherein the pairing algorithm comprises searching for one or more of the processing devices, in accordance with one or more temporal values associated with the at least one processing device and at least one of the one or more device pairing requests corresponding thereto, and one or more pairing parameters; and automatically pairing, via the network and based on the pairing algorithm, the at least one processing device to one or more of the processing devices.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for processing a multi-level transmission sent on a common set of resources using superposition coding, comprising determining a first group radio network temporary identifier (GRNTI), wherein the GRNTI is associated with a broadcast transmission to a plurality of wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs), determining a second GRNTI, wherein the second GRNTI is associated with a transmission to a subset of the plurality of WTRUs that received the first GRNTI, receiving the multi-level transmission, wherein the multi-level transmission comprises a first level message and a second level message, decoding the first level message from the multi-level transmission using the first GRNTI and preconfigured control information, and decoding the second level message from the multi-level transmission using the second GRNTI.

In some implementations, a radio access provider (RAP), e.g., of a wireless telecommunications network, can identifying matching data in two data flows associated with respective, different terminals. The RAP can determine a common wireless-resource allocation for the matching data, and respective allocation messages for the terminals. Each allocation message can indicate the common resource allocation. The RAP can transmit the allocation messages to the terminals. In some implementations, a wireless communications device can receive two allocation messages, one for a common and one for a terminal-specific resource allocation. The device can receive the common-allocation data before the terminal-specific data, and assemble a packet with at least some of the terminal-specific data before some of the common-allocation data. The device can decrypt the common-allocation data using a key associated with the common allocation.

In one implementation, a system for space-based aircraft monitoring includes a ground segment, multiple aircraft monitoring payloads on board corresponding satellites, and a resource scheduling system. Individual payloads include antenna systems configured to provide multiple beams for receiving ADS-B messages and two or more receivers configured to process received ADS-B messages that are implemented, at least in part, by reconfigurable FPGAs. In addition, individual payloads are configured to initiate transmission of ADS-B messages processed by one or more of their receivers to the ground segment. Meanwhile, the ground segment is configured to receive such messages and to route them to one or more destinations for aircraft monitoring. The resource scheduling system is configured to control the antenna systems of individual payloads to dynamically adjust the beams for receiving ADS-B messages of the individual antenna systems.

In an example, a second UE receives a first SCI and a second SCI from a first UE in a first slot. A groupcast sidelink transmission is scheduled by the first SCI and the second SCI. The second SCI indicates a location indication, associated with a location of the first UE, and a communication range. A PSFCH resource is determined based upon the first SCI. The second UE doesn't transmit a NACK indication on the PSFCH resource if location information of the second UE is available, the groupcast sidelink transmission isn't successfully decoded, and the second UE is outside the communication range. The second UE transmits the NACK indication on the PSFCH resource if the location information isn't available and the groupcast sidelink transmission isn't successfully decoded, or if the location information is available, the groupcast sidelink transmission isn't successfully decoded, and the second UE is within the communication range.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a position estimation entity configures a sidelink anchor group with sidelink anchor(s), to which respective sidelink PRS pre-configuration(s) are sent. A UE transmits a request to schedule an on-demand sidelink PRS position estimation session of the UE. The position estimation entity provides the UE with assistance data associated with the sidelink anchor group for the on-demand sidelink PRS position estimation session. The UE sends the sidelink anchor group a sidelink PRS trigger to perform a sidelink PRS exchange with some or all of the sidelink anchor group in accordance with the respective sidelink PRS pre-configuration(s).
