The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Embodiments herein disclose methods and systems of how an application function can request the Fifth Generation (5G) core network to perform a specific action, when a network slice quota reaches a maximum limit or when the behavior of the UE(s) falls outside the expected communication behavior.

A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a first device, the first device performs sidelink communication with one or more destinations. The first device receives and/or selects a sidelink grant associated with a sidelink transmission. Responsive to the sidelink grant, the first device selects a first destination of the one or more destinations based upon a report signaling. The first device performs the sidelink transmission associated with the sidelink grant to the first destination.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for configuring parameters for small data transfer (SDT) transmissions. One example technique provides a method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), involving: obtaining configuration information received from a network entity, the configuration information indicating a plurality of configurations for small data transfer (SDT) transmission, determining at least one of a transport block size (TBS) or data threshold for SDT transmission based on one of the configurations, and outputting for transmission one or more SDT transmissions based on the determination.

Provided in the present disclosure are an uplink control information transmission method and device. The method includes determining that a first transmission resource corresponding to uplink data to be transmitted and a second transmission resource corresponding to uplink control information to be transmitted overlap in a time domain. The method also includes transmitting the uplink control information on the second transmission resource and terminating transmission of the uplink data on the first transmission resource.

A method to prioritize sidelink logical channel (SL LCH) during destination UE selection for sidelink Logical Channel Prioritization (LCP) procedure in NR sidelink communication is proposed to avoid resource starvation. A TX UE prioritizes an RX UE having at least one SL LCH that has not satisfied a required minimum bit rate during destination UE selection when allocating SL resource to a new MAC PDU for SL transmission. The TX UE maintains a value Bj for each SL LCH j, where Bj>0 indicates that the logical channel has not met the requirement of prioritized bit rate. If at least one destination UE has SL LCH with data available for transmission and with Bj>0, then the selected destination UE is the one has the highest-priority SL LCH with data available for transmission and with Bj>0.

According to an embodiment herein a method performed by a radio network node for handling communication of data for a user equipment, UE, served in a service area associated with the radio network node in a wireless communication network is herein provided. The radio network node receives an indication from the UE, wherein the indication indicates a priority level for bandwidth allocation compared to other UEs. The radio network node further allocates a first bandwidth out of a total bandwidth to the UE for communication, wherein the first bandwidth is allocated in size based on the indication.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first wireless communication device may iterate a value of a channel access counter (CAC) to a trigger value based at least in part on configuring the value of the CAC. In some aspects, the first wireless communication device may utilize a channel access mechanism to select a set of time-frequency resources for a transmission of a packet based at least in part on iterating the value of the CAC to the trigger value. In some aspects, the first wireless communication device may transmit the packet to a second wireless communication device via the set of time-frequency resources based at least in part on utilizing the channel access mechanism to select the set of time-frequency resources for the transmission. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A method and apparatus for selective connection establishment for a broadcast-multicast service in a wireless communication system is provided. A wireless device receives bandwidth information for a broadcast-multicast service. A wireless device determines whether a connection to receive the broadcast-multicast service is required or not, based on the bandwidth information. A wireless device receives the broadcast-multicast service based on the determination.

A terminal includes a control unit configured to determine, in a case where a first transmission of transmitting an HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request) response received from another terminal to a base station overlaps in at least in a time domain with a second transmission to a base station, at least one of a priority and a priority order, of each transmission, and to determine control associated with the first transmission and the second transmission, based on the priorities, and a transmission unit configured to perform the control associated with the first transmission and the second transmission, based on the determination, and the control unit changes control associated with determination of priority order of transmissions, based on a configuration associated with communication.

An operation method of a first terminal in a communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting first SCI to a second terminal, the first SCI including one or more information elements among information indicating time resource(s) for sidelink communication, information indicating frequency resource(s) for the sidelink communication, information indicating a periodicity of physical resources for the sidelink communication, and information indicating an MCS for the sidelink communication. Second SCI is transmitted to the second terminal, the second SCI including information for an HARQ feedback operation and information indicating an NDI. The method further includes performing the sidelink communication with the second terminal based on the first SCI and the second SCI associated with the first SCI.
