A method for scheduling transmissions between a controller node, one or more, and one or more uplink nodes comprising: defining one or more non-overlapping downlink and uplink timeslots within a maximum cycle time period; scheduling each of the downlink nodes to listen to receive a respective downlink transmission from a one or multiple radios of the controller node in one of the downlink timeslots on one of a plurality of channels such that none of the downlink transmissions conflict with each other; and scheduling each of the uplink nodes to transmit a respective uplink transmission to a controller radio in one of the uplink timeslots on one of the channels such that none of the uplink transmissions conflict with each other. Each of the downlink nodes is scheduled to listen on a same channel as another if it is possible to do so without any of the respective downlink transmissions conflicting; and each of the uplink nodes is scheduled to transmit on a same channel as another if it is possible to do so without any of the respective uplink transmissions conflicting.

A method and a device in a node for wireless communications. A first receiver receives first information; and a first transmitter transmits a first signal in a first time-frequency resource block, the first signal carrying a second bit block; herein, a first bit block is used for generating the second bit block; the first bit block comprises a first bit sub-block and a second bit sub-block, the priority corresponding to the first bit sub-block being higher than that corresponding to the second bit sub-block; the number of REs in the first time-frequency resource block used for transmitting the second bit block is no greater than a first value, and the number of bits comprised in the first bit sub-block is used to determine the first value; the number of bits comprised in the first bit sub-block and the first information are used together to determine a second value.

A method and apparatus for transmitting data and a communication system. The apparatus for transmitting data includes a first processing unit, which is configured to transmit a second physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by the terminal equipment in a case where a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and the second physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) have identical physical layer priorities and transmission of the first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and transmission of the second physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) at least partially overlap in the time domain.

An information processing method, an apparatus, and a communication device are provided. The information processing method includes: triggering a pre-emptive BSR; and canceling the pre-emptive BSR according to a first status in a process from triggering of the pre-emptive BSR to generation of the pre-emptive BSR, where the first status includes at least one of the following: a reception status of uplink data; and a triggering status of a target BSR, where the target BSR is at least one of a regular BSR and a periodic BSR.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for performing rate matching for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). An example method generally includes monitoring for at least first and second downlink control information (DCI) formats for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), determining a bitwidth of a rate matching indicator field of at least one of the first DCI format or the second DCI format, and performing PDSCH rate matching for a PDSCH scheduled by a DCI of the first or second DCI format based, at least in part, on the rate matching indicator field in the DCI or a format of the DCI.

A method includes determining whether a first access point of a plurality of access points and a second access point of the plurality of access points should communicate simultaneously over a shared channel in a first network and in response to determining that one of the plurality of access points won contention of a transmission opportunity for the shared channel, dividing the transmission opportunity into a plurality of time slots. The method also includes scheduling transmissions of the first and second access points into the plurality of time slots according to the determination whether the first and second access points should communicate simultaneously over the shared channel and communicating, to the second access point and over a wired network or a second network different from the first network, an indication of whether the second access point should communicate during a first time slot of the plurality of time slots.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to communicating time-critical ultra-low latency (ULL) data using one or more dedicated resource units (RUs). A station (STA) decodes a trigger frame received from an access point station (AP) encoded to indicate resource units (RUs) of an UL PPDU for an uplink multi-user orthogonal frequency division multiple access (UL MU OFDMA) data transmission by a first and a second station STA. The trigger frame may also be encoded to indicate configuration information for a dedicated RU for time-critical ultra-low latency (ULL) UL data. The dedicated RU may be one RU of one or more RUs of the UL PPDU that are reserved for time-critical communications. The STA may encode time-critical ULL UL data for transmission to the AP on the dedicated RU during the uplink MU OFDMA data transmission by the first and second STAs. The time-critical ULL UL data may start at any time during transmission of the UL PPDU. Medium access control layer (MAC) padding may be included in a MAC payload until the time-critical ULL UL data is available at the MAC layer of the STA.

A transmission information determining method and apparatus, and a terminal are provided. The method includes: determining target transmission information of CG transmission according to a target parameter of a configured grant physical uplink shared channel CG PUSCH, where the target transmission information includes at least one of a configuration manner of a retransmission timer, a channel multiplexing manner, a multiplexing encoding manner, or redundant version information.

A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a first User Equipment (UE), the first UE generates a message requesting inter-UE coordination information, wherein the message includes information associated with a first priority value. The first UE generates a Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol Data Unit (PDU) including the message. The first UE sets a value of a priority field in a first sidelink control information (SCI) based on a second priority value of the message, wherein the second priority value of the message is a configured value and/or a lowest priority value among a defined set of priority values. The first UE transmits the first SCI to one or more UEs including a second UE, wherein the first SCI schedules a first Physical Sidelink Shared Channel (PSSCH) transmission for transmitting the MAC PDU.

A second network node in a wireless communication system includes a transceiver and at least one processor configured to control the transceiver to receive, from a first network node, at least one of a first scheduling request (SR) or a first buffer status report (BSR); control the transceiver to transmit, to a third network node, at least one of a second SR or a second BSR based on the first SR or the first BSR before receiving data to be transmitted corresponding to the first SR or the first BSR from the first network node; control the transceiver to receive, from the third network node, a first uplink (UL) grant corresponding to the second SR or the second BSR; control the transceiver to receive the data from the first network node; and control the transceiver to transmit the data to the third network node.
