The method for determining a transport block size includes: determining an initial transport block size; comparing the initial transport block size with a threshold to obtain a comparison result; quantizing the initial transport block size based on the comparison result to obtain a quantized initial transport block size; and determining a final transport block size based on the quantized initial transport block size.

Embodiments of this application disclose a data transmission method, an apparatus, and a device in a Wi-Fi network, to improve reliability of providing differentiated data transmission services by a network access device. The method includes: receiving an uplink packet; recording a real-time transmission indication and uplink 5-tuple information that are carried in the uplink packet; then receiving a downlink packet, where the downlink packet carries downlink 5-tuple information; and then, if a service type of the downlink packet is a preset service type, and the downlink 5-tuple information matches the uplink 5-tuple information, preferably forwarding the downlink packet based on the real-time transmission indication.

The invention relates to a method for operating a gateway wherein the method comprises to detect a downlink data packet session transmitted to the first user entity, and to amend the lifetime indicator in at least some of the data packets of the detected downlink data packet session such that the data packets for which the lifetime indicator has been amended, have reached the end of the lifetime and cannot be transmitted further when arriving at the first user entity.

Methods and apparatuses for transmitting HARQ-ACK information are provided. The method is implemented by a network device and includes: determining that a time domain resource conflict exists between transmitting a first service type of HARQ-ACK information codebook and transmitting a second service type of data information; and sending a scheduling instruction configured to instruct a retransmission of the HARQ-ACK information codebook, in which the scheduling instruction includes resource information for retransmitting the HARQ-ACK information codebook.

A computing system configured to determine a time, a frequency, or a volume that time-critical data are to arrive and generate an uplink scheduling request based on the determined time, frequency, or volume. The uplink scheduling request is then sent to a base station, requesting an uplink grant. The computing system then receives the uplink grant from the base station over the radio interface. The uplink grant contains scheduling information associated with transmission of the time-critical data. In response to arrival of the time-critical data, the computing system then transmits the time-critical data over the radio interface based on the uplink grant with no or little latency.

A method and apparatus for supporting communication buffer status reports (BSRs) are disclosed. A wireless device may generate a first buffer status report (BSR) associated with first data for transmission to at least one wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). Also, the wireless device may generate a second BSR associated with second data for transmission to a base station. Further, the wireless device may transmit the first BSR and the second BSR in a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (PDU) to the base station. Additionally, the wireless device may transmit the first data to the at least one WTRU. Moreover, the wireless device may transmit the second data to the base station. In a further example, the wireless device may generate the first BSR and generate the second BSR are based on a priority associated with the first BSR and a priority associated with the second BSR.

Embodiments of this application provide a resource scheduling method, which includes: transmitting, by a terminal device, at least first indication information to a network device on a pre-allocated uplink resource, where the first indication information indicates a data volume of to-be-transmitted data of the terminal device; and transmitting the to-be-transmitted data on an uplink resource if the terminal device receives at least second indication information transmitted by the network device, where the second indication information indicates the uplink resource allocated by the network device to the terminal device. In the embodiments of this application, when to-be-transmitted data is MBB service data, the terminal device may transmit a data volume of the MBB service data to the network device on a grant-free resource, so that the network device allocates an uplink resource to the terminal device and the terminal device transmits the MBB service data on the uplink resource.

An apparatus of user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory, where to configure the UE for communication of data in a New Radio-Unlicensed (NR-U) spectrum, the processing circuitry is to decode RRC signaling from a base station. The RRC signaling includes configuration information to configure a listen-before-talk (LBT) timer and a scheduling request (SR) prohibit timer. An LBT procedure is performed while the LBT timer is activated. An SR is encoded for transmission to the base station, based on detecting an unoccupied transmission resource within the NR-U spectrum during the LBT procedure. The SR transmission activates the SR prohibit timer. An uplink grant from the base station is decoded in response to the SR, the uplink grant received while the SR prohibit timer is activated. A buffer status report (BSR) is encoded for transmission to the base station based on the uplink grant.
