The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for fusing, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transfer rate than a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services, such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety-related services, on the basis of 5G communication technologies and IoT-related technologies. Disclosed is a setting method for an efficient uplink signal transmission of a terminal in a case where a plurality of waveforms are supported to efficiently operate an uplink in a next generation mobile communication.

A network device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), or other network component) can process or generate a physical shared channel based on a number of resource blocks determined by one or more formulas for a transport block size (TBS). In response to determining a result of the one or more formulas based on one or more received parameters a configured action for the physical shared channel can be determined based on the number of resource elements (REs). A radio frequency (RF) interface, is configured to provide, to RF circuitry, data for transmitting a new radio (NR) communication based on the configured action.

The present disclosure is directed to BIER forwarding over varying BSL domains, the methods including the steps of receiving, at a border node, a packet comprising a BIER header having a BIER bit string with a first bit string length; reading an incoming label of the packet comprising instructions to split the BIER header into a plurality of smaller headers associated with a plurality of smaller bit strings; generating a set of split bit masks; performing a separate bitwise AND operation on each split bit mask and the BIER bit string to generate the plurality of smaller bit strings, each copied to a corresponding smaller header of the plurality of smaller headers; and performing a lookup for each of the plurality of smaller headers on a respective forwarding table to determine one or more egress routers to which to transmit the packet.

An apparatus and method for uplink data transmission scheduling are disclosed. In an example, the method can include obtaining, by at least one processor, a plurality of packets to be transmitted via uplink. The method can also include queueing, by the at least one processor, the plurality of packets according to logical channel prioritization. The method can further include receiving, by the at least one processor, a service grant after the queueing. The method can additionally include trimming, by the at least one processor, the plurality of packets according to a grant size of the service grant.

A method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided for improved transport block size (TBS) indication and channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting for lower target block error ratios (BLERs). In an example implementation, the method may include a user equipment configuring a plurality of transport block sizes, activating one or more transport block sizes of the plurality of transport block sizes, and determining a first transport block size from an indication received from a network node when more than one transport block sizes of the one or more transport block sizes are activated. The method may further include determining, a second transport block size, the second transport block size determined based at least on the one or more transport block sizes that are activated and the first transport block size, and receiving a downlink transmission from the network node with the second transport block size. In an additional example implementation, the method may include a user equipment determining a channel quality indicator based at least on a physical downlink shared channel received from a network node and transmitting the channel quality indicator to the network node.

A method for data transmission is performed by a first device, and includes: determining a first sequence control field for a first category of data frame, wherein the first sequence control field has a bit length configured to enable the first sequence control field to support multi-link communication; and sending the first category of data frame carrying the first sequence control field.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may select, from a first path and a second path, a path for an uplink communication associated with at least one of a variable payload size for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback or channel state information (CSI) feedback, wherein the first path is on an uplink of the UE and the second path is on a sidelink of the UE; and transmit the uplink communication on the selected path. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A method may include identifying a reference number of tones for an overhead channel of a transport block and segmenting the transport block into a code block based at least in part on the reference number of tones for the overhead channel. In some examples, a code block indicator or the reference number of tones may be transmitted on a control channel. Another method may include receiving a code block size indicator associated with a code block of a transport block, decoding the code block based at least in part on the code block size indicator and assembling the transport block based at least in part on the decoded code block. In some examples, the code block size indicator may be received using a control channel.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a report of a maximum transport block size supported by the UE for if hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is enabled and a maximum transport block size for is HARQ is disabled. The UE may receive, based at least in part on transmitting the report, one or more transport blocks that have a transport block size that does not exceed the maximum transport block sizes supported by the UE. In some aspects, the UE may receive an indication of a length of a span for receiving a set of bits from channel encoder output for a transport block or a redundancy version of a transport block. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication associated with Type B physical uplink channel repetitions of a transport block. The UE may transmit the repetitions of the transport block, including a first smaller repetition of the repetitions that has a first payload size that is smaller than a nominal payload size for the repetitions and that includes a first self-decodable data portion of the transport block. Numerous other aspects are described.
