A method of operating a communication system with cellular and wireless local-area network (WLAN) integration is provided. The method comprising in a downlink direction, selecting user information to be communicated to user equipment (UE) using a WLAN service; communicating quality of service (QoS) information associated with the user information generated by a cellular network to a WLAN access point; using a scheduler of the of WLAN access point to schedule downlink resources based on the QoS information; and wirelessly communicating the user information associated with the QoS information through the WLAN access point to at least one user equipment (UE) based on the scheduling of downlink resources by the scheduler.

A method for performing data transmission by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises steps of receiving a message indicating a change of a Radio resource control (RRC) state from a RRC CONNECTED state to a RRC INACTIVE state, wherein the message includes information related to a configured grant (CG) and a threshold; if a time gap between a current time and an uplink grant occasion associated with the configured grant is larger than or equal to the threshold, triggering a random access (RA) procedure for the data transmission; and performing the data transmission based on the RA procedure in the RRC INACTIVE state, wherein, if the time gap is smaller than the threshold, the data transmission is performed based on the uplink grant occasion associated with the configured grant.

A communication system is disclosed in which communication resources are dynamically partitioned into a plurality of slices, each slice having at least one associated network-level performance requirement. A network-level performance requirement is translated into cell-level resource requirement(s) for determining, based on the cell-level resource requirement(s), whether to admit a slice instance. When the slice instance is admitted, information identifying the cell-level resource requirement(s) for the slice instance is provided to a scheduler function. The cell-level resource requirement(s) for a given slice instance may be used to determine an associated packet delivery deadline and entitled resource amount before deadline. The scheduler function allocates communication resources to each admitted slice based on an earliest-deadline-first method.

Systems and methods for Quality of Service (QoS) mapping based on latency and throughput are provided. A method performed by a first node for mapping Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) streams includes: receiving traffic class specific information for one or more TSN streams; and determining a set of one or more 5G QoS flows to support the traffic class. This provides solutions where 5QI table entries configured by a 5GS can result in underproviding or overproviding the payload capacity made available to support the traffic class. If less payload space is provided, then TSN stream payload corresponding to the traffic class will be lost. If more space is provided, then radio interface resources will be used inefficiently. As such, the solutions identified herein allow for more efficient use of radio interface resources associated with a 5G QoS flow used to support a set of TSN streams corresponding to a TSN traffic class.

A subscriber in a communication system is configured to transmit data to a base station of the communication system. The subscriber is configured to take a quality criterion of at least one previous transmission between the subscriber and the base station as a basis for transmitting the data in a first frequency range or in a second frequency range being different from each other, and/or in a first time interval or in a second time interval being different from each other. A base station, a method for receiving data and a computer program product are also provided.

Described embodiments provide systems and methods for adjusting an operating mode for a wireless device's communications with a network. The wireless device may determine a communication profile of an application of the wireless device with the network. The wireless device may determine a type of motion of the wireless device. The wireless device may determine an operating mode for the wireless device's communications with the network, according to the communication profile and the type of motion. The wireless device may transmit a message to the network to cause the operating mode to be configured for the wireless device's communications with the network.

An application layer in a device, a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer in the device, and/or a media access control (MAC) layer in the device may determine that wireless communication resources allocated to the device need to be adjusted. The determination may be in response to detecting that a quality of the wireless connection of the device has deteriorated, or it may be based on advance knowledge of information pertaining to an application layer payload in the device. In response to the determination the device may transmit, in a MAC Control Element (MAC CE) to a base station, a request for an adjustment of the allocated wireless communication resources. The adjustment may lead to a temporary boost of resources for a limited period of time or to a persistent update of the allocated wireless communication resources. To allow better scheduling of multiple QoS flows mapped to the same DRB and better selection of data when constructing a MAC Packet Data Unit (PDU), a mapping between QoS flows and LCHs may also be provided to the MAC layer.

Embodiments of the present application provide a wireless communication method and device. The method may include: a terminal device determines at least one time domain resource unit occupied by SRS transmission over an SRS resource; the terminal device determines a resource utilization mode used for transmitting the SRS on the at least one time domain resource unit; the terminal device performs, according to the determined resource utilization mode, the SRS transmission on the at least one time domain resource unit.

A method for indicating the number of transmitting ports of User Equipment (UE), a network device, UE and a computer storage medium are provided. The method includes that: if performance degradation exists for a present Band Combination (BC), whether the performance degradation exists for a present frequency and bandwidth combination or not is determined to obtain a determination result; and it is determined based on the determination result to indicate a network side that the UE uses a first number or second number of transmitting ports, the first number is smaller than the second number.
