A method and system are provided for scheduling data transmission in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. The MIMO system may comprise at least one MIMO transmitter and at least one MIMO receiver. Feedback from one or more receivers may be used by a transmitter to improve quality, capacity, and scheduling in MIMO communication systems. The method may include generating or receiving information pertaining to a MIMO channel metric and information pertaining to a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) in respect of a transmitted signal; and sending a next transmission to a receiver using a MIMO mode selected in accordance with the information pertaining to the MIMO channel metric, and an adaptive coding and modulation selected in accordance with the information pertaining to the CQI.

A system described herein may provide a technique for location-based handling of discovery requests in a service-based network in which different instances of network functions (“NFs”) may be deployed in geographically diverse locations. For example, a Network Repository Function (“NRF”) may maintain location information for the various NF instances and may respond to discovery requests by identifying particular NF instances based on locations associated with the discovery requests. For example, such discovery requests may include a “preferred-locality” parameter or some other indication of location associated with the discovery request, based on which the NRF may identify one or more NF instances to provide in response to the discovery request.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel state information (CSI) reporting with frequency domain (FD) compression. A method that can be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes determining the size of the intermediate set based on one or more parameters included in the CSI report configuration, determining one or more FD bases for each layer based on the intermediate set, wherein the one or more FD bases are characterized by an M value indicative of a number of the one or more FD bases and based on the CSI report configuration, and reporting the one or more FD bases for each layer based on the size of the intermediate set.

The disclosure provides example communication methods and apparatus. One example method includes determining a highest-priority CORESET, so that a terminal device monitors a PDCCH on the highest-priority CORESET. A highest-priority CORESET is determined in M CORESETs belonging to T CORESETs based on one or more of cell identifiers, quasi co-location properties, search space set types, and search space set identifiers that are associated with the M CORESETs in a time unit, and a PDCCH is monitored on the highest-priority CORESET.

This disclosure provides a communication method to implement a function of a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback codebook in a multi-station scenario. A terminal device receives a configuration group identifier, determines a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception occasion corresponding to the configuration group identifier, and transmits feedback information of the PDSCH reception occasion based on the configuration group identifier corresponding to the PDSCH reception occasion and according to a predetermined rule of feedback sorting.

A device may be configured to receive, process, forward, and/or respond to one or more resource queries. For example, the device may determine whether multiple queries are satisfied by a multicast response. The device may receive a first query and a second query directed to a resource, The first and the second query may comprise a structure proxy rule identifier (sPRID). The device may determine the similarity between the two queries. For example, the similarity determination may be based on the sPRID of the two queries. The device may determine whether a response that satisfies the first query also satisfies the second query, which may be based on a response to the first query and information comprised within the sPRID of the two queries. If the response satisfies both queries, the device may multicast the response.

An information transmission method and a UE are provided. The information transmission method includes: obtaining configuration information for transmitting a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH); obtaining respective Redundancy Versions (RVs) corresponding to at least two repeated/segmented transmissions of the PUSCH in accordance with lengths of the repeated/segmented transmissions of the PUSCH and the configuration information when the PUSCH is transmitted in the form of the repeated/segmented transmissions; and transmitting the PUSCH in accordance with the RVs.

An apparatus is disclosed, the apparatus comprising means for assigning a plurality of user devices, flows and/or data bearers to a network slice of a plurality of network slices, determining whether transmissions via the network slice satisfy a target and, based on determining whether transmissions via the network slice satisfy the target, adjusting a weighted resource allocation metric associated with each user device, flow and/or data bearer of said network slice using one or more calculated offsets, the offsets being calculated so that respective weights, associated with each user device, flow or data bearer on said network slice, are adjusted such that their resource allocations are substantially proportional to their associated weight. The apparatus means may also allocate to the user devices, flows and/or data bearers, based on their respective adjusted weighted resource allocation metrics, transmission resources of the network.

Methods, systems, and devices related to reducing signaling overhead for uplink transmissions are described. In one representative aspect, a method for wireless communication includes transmitting, from the wireless communication node, a first message to a mobile device. The first message identifies one or more resource groups that correspond to a transmission rank to be used by the mobile device for a data transmission from the mobile device to the wireless communication node. The one or more resource groups are selected from a set of candidate resource groups or a set of candidate resources. The method also includes receiving, at the wireless communication node, the data transmission having the transmission rank from the mobile device.

A wireless communication method is described for receiving a reporting configuration associated with one or more reporting criteria. The received reporting configuration is also linked to one or more channel state information (CSI) resource settings that provide a configuration information. Each CSI resource setting identifies one or more resource sets, and each resource set includes one or more reference signal resources. Based on one or more reporting criteria, a user equipment can generate a report that can be transmitted to a base station.
