Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a vehicle communications system of a vehicle comprises a vehicle controller with a wireless communications interface capable of providing wireless coverage in a plurality of vehicle regions, and a set of relay devices that are each communicatively coupled to the vehicle controller and are each capable of providing wireless coverage in at least one of the plurality of vehicle regions. In a further aspect, the vehicle controller transitions between first and second modes of communication based in part upon a traffic condition.

A method and apparatus are disclosed from the perspective of a first User Equipment (UE) in RRC_CONNECTED to request sidelink resources. In one embodiment, the method transmits a first RRC (Radio Resource Control) message to a network node, wherein a presence of a sidelink QoS (Quality of Service) information list in the first RRC message is optional.

A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE), if sidelink packet duplication is configured or enabled for a Sidelink Radio Bearer (SLRB), a first Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Protocol Data Unit (PDU), corresponding to a first PDCP Service Data Unit (SDU), and a duplicate of the first PDCP PDU, are transmitted. A first PDCP Sequence Number (SN) of the first PDCP PDU is set based upon one or more state variables used for sidelink transmission on the SLRB. If the sidelink packet duplication is de-configured or disabled for the SLRB, a second PDCP PDU, corresponding to a second PDCP SDU, is transmitted. Noduplicate of the second PDCP PDU is transmitted. A second PDCP SN of the second PDCP PDU is set based upon the one or more state variables used for sidelink transmission on the SLRB.

For improved messaging reliability in 5G and 6G, mobile users and their base stations can adjust their transmission power according to the current location of the mobile user. Each entity can maintain a map of known attenuation values, including “dead zones”, and can adjust their transmission power and/or reception gain to compensate. Instead of constantly exchanging location-update messages, the users can indicate their speed and direction, and the base station (or other users) can extrapolate the location versus time to determine a future location, and thereby determine the attenuation factor at the new position. In addition, the base station can use a map to follow the mobile user device's progress, and can thereby update the attenuation factor in real-time. If the mobile user makes a change, it can inform the base station at that time, or during initial access. Result: improved reliability, lower energy consumption, improved traffic safety.

A method for data transmission in a sidelink includes: a first terminal device selecting a first resource from a data resource pool in a selection window, the first resource being used for sending data of the first terminal device; the first terminal device selecting, from a control resource pool in the selection window, a second resource for sending first indication information, the first indication information being used for indicating the first resource, the positions of the first resource and the second resource in a time domain and/or frequency domain being different; and the first terminal device sending the first indication information over the second resource, and sending the data of the first terminal device over the first resource.

One embodiment of the present specification relates to a method by which a relay UE performs communication, comprising the steps of: receiving, from an access and mobility management function (AMF), a UE configuration update command message including information for requesting registration of the relay UE; transmitting, to a remote UE, a message indicating suspension of a PC5 connection; receiving, from the remote UE, a message indicating that the PC5 connection has been completely suspended; transmitting, to the AMF, a UE configuration update complete message in response to the UE configuration update command message; performing a registration procedure with the AMF; and resuming the PC5 connection with the remote UE.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An example method for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE) may include receiving at least a first sidelink transmission from a second UE, wherein at least a second sidelink transmission from a third UE is scheduled contemporaneously with at least the first sidelink transmission from the second UE. The method may also include transmitting an indication in a transmission occasion to at least one of the second UE or the third UE based at least in part on a prioritization of information for the transmission occasion, wherein the indication indicates that at least the first sidelink transmission from the second UE is scheduled contemporaneously with at least the second sidelink transmission from at least the third UE.

A method for processing a security policy of a device may include a step for receiving, from another device, a first message including first information about a security policy of the other device. The first message may include a direct communication request message or a link modification request message. The method may further include the steps of: determining whether to accept or reject the first message on the basis of both the first information about the security policy of the other device and second information about the security policy of the device; and sending a second message on the basis of the determination.

This application relates to a communication method, apparatus, and system, and is applicable to fields such as internet of vehicles, intelligent driving, assisted driving, and intelligent connected vehicles. A first terminal apparatus detects sidelink control information from at least one second terminal apparatus to determine a first time-frequency resource. The first terminal apparatus sends first information to a third terminal apparatus, to trigger determining of second information. The first terminal apparatus receives the second information from the third terminal apparatus, to indicate a second time-frequency resource. The first terminal apparatus determines the third time-frequency resource based on the second time-frequency resource and the first time-frequency resource. The first terminal apparatus may use both a sensing result of the first terminal apparatus and a sensing result of the third terminal apparatus as consideration factors to select a resource for sending data, to improve signal received quality.
