The disclosure provides various methods for time-aware scheduling of time-sensitive network (TSN) streams in 5G networks. One method, performed in a core network associated with a radio access network (RAN), is for scheduling resources in the RAN according to a transmission schedule associated with an external network. The method comprises receiving (1210), from the external network, a transmission schedule associated with a time-sensitive data stream and sending (1220), to the RAN, a request to allocate radio resources for communication of the data stream between the RAN and a user equipment (UE). The request further comprises information related to the transmission schedule. The method also comprises receiving (1230), from the RAN, a response indicating whether radio resources can be allocated to meet the transmission schedule associated with the data stream.

A method for managing a media transmission path includes: obtaining location information of a terminal; determining an application function user plane anchor device corresponding to the terminal, and an application function user plane edge device that has a minimum transmission delay, where the transmission delay is between the application function user plane edge device and the terminal; establishing media transmission paths between the application function user plane anchor device and the application function user plane edge device, and between the application function user plane edge device and the terminal; selecting a new application function user plane edge device when a location of the terminal changes; and handing over the terminal to the new application function user plane edge device. This method reduces a delay of a media transmission path, and can better meet a requirement of a delay sensitive service.

A UCI transmission method, a UCI reception method, a terminal, a base station and devices are provided. The UCI transmission method includes: determining a first transmission resource for first UCI and second transmission resources for second UCI; and when the first transmission resource overlaps at least two second transmission resources in a time domain, transmitting the first UCI and the second UCI simultaneously on at least one of the at least two second transmission resources.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for enhanced feedback transmission for sidelink communication in unlicensed spectrum. A method that may be performed by a first user equipment (UE) includes receiving a sidelink transmission in a frequency band from a second UE; and transmitting feedback comprising: hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) feedback regarding the sidelink transmission, and an indication of a measure of an energy level of the frequency band as measured by the first UE

A resource determining method includes obtaining, by a terminal device, resource information, determining, by the terminal device, a first resource jointly reserved by N services, where N is greater than or equal to 2, and determining whether to use the first resource as a candidate resource based on signal strength thresholds of the N services and signal strength of the N services.
