Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify multiple candidate sets of physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) transmissions that include hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for sidelink communications received from one or more peer UEs. The UE may select, from one or more of the multiple candidate sets that satisfy a PSFCH transmit power constraint, at least one candidate set that has a highest value for a utility parameter among utility parameters associated with each of the one or more candidate sets that satisfy a PSFCH transmit power constraint. The UE may transmit, on a PSFCH, the plurality of PSFCH transmissions included in the at least one candidate set in a HARQ feedback occasion. Numerous other aspects are provided.

According to one embodiment, a wireless communication device includes a transmitter configured to transmit a first frame including information to specify a plurality of frequency components; and controlling circuitry configured to determine whether a second frame is received via each of the plurality of frequency components. The transmitter is configured to transmit a third frame including first information concerning a first value range which is used to determine whether to respond to the first frame, the first value range being dependent on a number of frequency components via which the second frame has been received.

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique that fuses IoT technology with a 5G communication system to support a higher data transfer rate than a 4G communication system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retailing, security and safety related services, etc.) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT related technology. The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G communication system such as LTE. An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method and a structure for processing data for packet duplication. According to the embodiment of the present invention, disclosed are a radio bearer setup method, a packet duplication operation, and a buffer status reporting method, which are for use in performing packet duplication.

This document discloses procedures and apparatus for code block group (CBG)-based non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) transmission for a wireless communication link, such as fifth generation new radio. In aspects, a user equipment (UE) receives a first message including a first configuration for a CBG-based transmission scheme. The UE receives a second message including a second configuration for a NOMA transmission scheme. The UE transmits uplink control information (UCI) to the base station using the NOMA transmission scheme from the second configuration. Further, the UE transmits uplink data associated with the UCI using a CBG-based NOMA transmission scheme based on the first configuration and the second configuration. The UE receives a hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) message including one or more HARQ acknowledgements (ACKs) or negative acknowledgements (NACKs) corresponding to a decoding result of the uplink data.

Methods, systems and apparatuses are disclosed for configuring a network node that communicates with a wireless device (WD) to use at least one of a single physical uplink shared channel or physical downlink shared channel (PXSCH) for a single transport block (TB) transmission that exceeds a single slot. The network node and WD may be further configured to transmit a single TB over multiple PXSCHs with one PXSCH for each slot. Initial transmission of one or more code blocks (CBs) or code block groups (CBG) of a TB may be indicated by the network node of WD with a start length indicator (SLIV). CBs transmitted in one or more PXSCHs may be grouped into one or more CBG groups by the network node or WD and repetition, multi-PUSCH scheduling and single TB transmission over multiple PUSCHs may also be used.

A method performed by an open radio access network (O-RAN) distributed unit (O-DU) in a wireless communication system, the method includes: generating a control plane message comprising User Equipment (UE) scheduling information; and transmitting the control plane message to an open radio access network (O-RAN) radio unit (O-RU). The control plane message further includes section extension information. The section extension information comprises bit masking information indicating antennas to be combined.

The apparatus receives a first PDU and a first CRC that is based on the first PDU. The first PDU is encrypted based on a first nonce. The apparatus decrypts the first PDU to obtain a first payload and a first cipher stream. The apparatus soft combines the decrypted first payload with a decrypted set of payloads. The set of payloads have been encrypted based on at least one nonce different than the first nonce. The apparatus generates a second CRC based on the soft combined decrypted payloads and based on the first cipher stream. The apparatus determines whether the generated second CRC for the soft combined decrypted payloads passes a CRC check against the first CRC.

A method for performing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmission and a user equipment (UE) are provided. The method at the UE comprises the followings. Receiving a first configuration related to slot aggregation for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception. Receiving a downlink control information (DCI). Receiving a PDSCH indicted by the DCI across a first number of aggregated slots. Transmitting a codebook comprising a first information and a second information.

Aspects of the present disclosure are drawn to a client device for use with an access point device. The client device includes: a memory; and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on the memory to cause the client device to: obtain a value associated with a capability of the client device, create a response including a header and a payload, the header including a reserved field including a bit reporting that the payload of the response includes the value associated with the capability, and transmit the response to the APD.

A wireless communication terminal including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from an Access Point (AP). The controller is coupled to the wireless transceiver, and configures the wireless communication terminal to operate as a Station (STA) to associate with the AP in compliance with an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 standard. Also, the controller receives a beacon frame indicating to disable an UL MU operation from the AP via the wireless transceiver, and enables the STA to operate in a contention mode for UL transmission in response to receiving the beacon frame indicating to disable the UL MU operation.
