A communication apparatus operating as a base station in a TDD communication system, comprises: a communication unit configured to perform communication using a TDD pattern; a storage unit configured to store a plurality of TDD patterns; a determination unit configured to determine a TDD pattern to be used by the communication unit; and an obtaining unit configured to obtain a type of a network slice to be used by a terminal connected to the base station. The plurality of TDD patterns include a synchronous TDD pattern and a semi-synchronous TDD pattern. The determination unit determines the TDD pattern to be used by the communication unit based on the type obtained by the obtaining unit and the plurality of TDD patterns.

A network node configured to communicate with a wireless device (WD) is described. The network node includes processing circuitry configured to allocate at least a first resource for a physical uplink or downlink shared channel (PxSCH) for a first type of traffic and allocate at least a second resource for the PxSCH for a second type of traffic. The processing circuitry is further configured to refrain from at least one of transmitting and receiving any one of the first type of traffic and the second type of traffic when at least a first portion of the at least first resource overlaps at least a second portion of the at least second resource.

A method and WTRU for resource re-allocation is disclosed. A WTRU may be configured to receive a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) and receive fallback configuration information. The WTRU may be configured to receive an indication. The indication may indicate that a particular resource or set of resources are no longer available. The indication may comprise applicability criteria and applicability resource information. The WTRU may be configured to apply the fallback configuration in resources based on the applicability resource information on a condition that a characteristic of the WTRU matches at least one applicability criteria. The WTRU may be configured to transmit uplink data based on the fallback configuration. The fallback configuration may comprise at least one of: a measurement configuration, a configured grant configuration, a random access channel (RACH) configuration, or a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring periodicity configuration.

A method performed by a first network node in a communication system for supporting ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC) in open radio access network (O-RAN) is provided. The method includes receiving a control plane message of a first communication from a second network node, wherein the control plane message comprises preemption type information and information related to the first communication preempting resource layers of a second communication, and determining resources for the first communication based on the control plane message.

A method is described for the configuration, by an entity of a telecommunications network, of a user equipment connected to at least one service offered by the network. The method includes determining an inactivity timer, on the expiry of which the user equipment activates a bandwidth part defined by default according to an estimate of a traffic associated with the user equipment relating to the at least one service. The method also includes sending to the user equipment, in at least one configuration message, the inactivity timer and an indicator designating the bandwidth part defined by default, the bandwidth part defined by default corresponding to a bandwidth part assigned to the user equipment for transmitting traffic relating to a priority service from among the at least one service.
