A method and a device for session setup and handover in a wireless communication system are provided. The method comprises receiving, from a second node, a message comprising a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) of a protocol data unit (PDU) session; and allocating session resources for the PDU session based on the message received from the second node, wherein, in case that the S-NSSAI of the PDU session is supported by the first node, the session resources for the PDU session includes resources related to the S-NSSAI of the PDU session, and wherein, in case that the S-NSSAI of the PDU session is unsupported by the first node or the resources related to the S-NSSAI are unavailable or overloaded, the session resources for the PDU session includes other available resources for the PDU session.

The described technology is generally directed towards adaptive spectrum as a service, in which spectrum can be dynamically allocated to adapt to demand for wireless capacity. The demand for wireless capacity can be based on monitoring system state, and/or proactively predicted based on other system state such as time of day. Reallocated spectrum can be monitored for performance, to converge spectrum allocation to a more optimal state. Allocated spectrum can be relocated, increased or decreased, including by the use of citizens band radio service spectrum or other spectrum. Currently allocated spectrum can be adapted into modified allocated spectrum by an application program (xApp) coupled to a radio access network intelligent controller (RIC), a citizens broadband radio service device, a domain proxy service, and/or a user device. A user device can determine and request bandwidth, with spectrum allocated in response.

Systems and methods are provided for leveraging uplink (U)L scheduling information obtained by way of Quality of Service (QoS) Null/QoS Data frames and Media Access Control (MAC) headers transmitted by any station (STA). This UL scheduling information can be read by any access point (AP) in an extended service set (ESS), and used to improve network performance. For example, an AP may use such UL scheduling information (from STAs associated to co-channel APs in the same ESS) to minimize the latency for UL latency-sensitive traffic in that ESS. Additionally, an AP may use such UL scheduling information to minimize contention amongst STAs connected to different APs on the same channel in the same ESS, thereby improving system capacity.

A wireless device transmits, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages indicating assistance information for a sidelink operation. The assistance information indicates: an identifier indicating a logical channel associated with a sidelink traffic; and one or more periodicities associated with the logical channel. In response to the assistance information, one or more second RRC messages indicating one or more configured grant configurations determined based on the one or more of periodicities of the logical channel is received. The wireless device triggers, a transmission of a buffer status report in response to sidelink data of the logical channel becoming available. A scheduling request (SR) is transmitted. In response to the SR: the transmission of the buffer status report is cancelled; and one or more activation commands indicating activation of the one or more configured grant configurations is received.

A base station (eNB) determines device-to-device (D2D) transmission parameters for signal transmission over a D2D communication link between a first user equipment (UE) device and a second UE device. The eNB instructs the first UE device to transmit a reference signal that is received by the second UE device. The second UE device reports D2D channel characteristic information indicative of the received reference signal. Based on the D2D channel characteristic information, the base station determines the D2D transmission parameters and provides the parameters to the first UE device.
