A method for loss reduction in a communication interface having differential power loss as a function of a transmitted bit. A data format of transmitted data and/or a data format of address data that characterize the addresses of communication subscribers is selected as a function of the expected number of bits having higher power loss and/or the expected number of bits having lower power loss in the data, in such a way that the number of bits having lower power loss is increased.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) in a wireless communications system, such as a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications systems, may communicate over sidelink to other UEs. The first UE may receive, from a base station, control signaling indicating a sidelink resource pool allocated for sidelink communication between the first UE and a second UE. The first UE may transmit an indication that superposition coding may be used to generate a concurrent sidelink and uplink transmission. The first UE may then transmit the concurrent sidelink and uplink transmission within a resource of the sidelink resource pool based on the indication. The second UE may decode the sidelink portion of the transmission, and the base station may decode the uplink portion of the transmission.

Using a modulation and coding scheme for a control channel that is more conservative than needed to fulfill the control function may waste resources. To address this issue, a variable size control channel is provided. An apparatus in such a system may be configured to determine an aggregation level of a plurality of aggregation levels associated with a control channel. Each aggregation level of the plurality of aggregation levels is associated with a number of time-frequency resources dedicated for the control channel and a particular modulation and coding scheme used for modulating and coding control information in the control channel. The apparatus is configured to receive control information in the time-frequency resources associated with the aggregation level and decode the control information received in the time-frequency resources associated with the determined aggregation level. The decoding is based on the particular modulation and coding scheme associated with the determined aggregation level.

A method performed by a terminal in a communication system is provided. The method includes identifying a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and a second PDSCH without a corresponding PDCCH; identifying that the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH are overlapped in time; and decoding the first PDSCH on a basis that the PDCCH scheduling the first PDSCH ends at least 14 symbols before the starting symbol of the second PDSCH.

A method for transmitting downlink control information (DCI) includes: transmitting DCI based on modulation coding strategy (MCS) corresponding to user equipment (UE); in which the DCI includes a first-type DCI or a second-type DCI, the first-type DCI includes a first MCS field and a first repeating number indication field; and the second-type DCI includes a second MCS field and a second repeating number indication field.

An operation method of a first terminal in a communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting first SCI to a second terminal, the first SCI including one or more information elements among information indicating time resource(s) for sidelink communication, information indicating frequency resource(s) for the sidelink communication, information indicating a periodicity of physical resources for the sidelink communication, and information indicating an MCS for the sidelink communication. Second SCI is transmitted to the second terminal, the second SCI including information for an HARQ feedback operation and information indicating an NDI. The method further includes performing the sidelink communication with the second terminal based on the first SCI and the second SCI associated with the first SCI.

Methods and apparatus for communicating and utilizing persistent allocation of resources are described herein. A base station may allocate persistent resources to a client station, and may associate the client station or persistent resource allocation with a particular shared NACK channel. The base station may monitor the NACK channel for a NACK indicating a map error. The base station may monitor the resource allocation to implicitly determine a map error. The base station may resend one or more persistent resource allocation information elements in response to the NACK or implicit error determination. A client station having a persistent resource allocation may monitor persistent resource allocation information elements in map messages and/or may indicate failure to receive a persistent resource allocation information element in a NACK message on a shared NACK channel.

The present disclosure provides a method and a User Equipment (UE) supporting transmission power adjustment. The UE receiving a first signaling; and transmitting a first radio signal; wherein, a first modulation symbol sequence is used to generate the first radio signal, the first modulation symbol sequence employs a target waveform, a first bit block is used to generate the first modulation symbol sequence, the first signaling is used to determine the target waveform out of X waveforms, the X is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, a transmitting power of the first radio signal is a first power, the target waveform is used to determine an upper bound of the first power. The method can adjust the UE transmitting power according to the waveform of the uplink transmission, thus reducing the power loss of the UE or improving the coverage performance of the uplink transmission.

Control information such as downlink control information (DCI) may be used to indicate whether the DCI is for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) cancellation. For example, the base station may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), first DCI to trigger an SPS configuration of a plurality of SPS occasions. The base station may further determine to cancel one or more SPS occasions of the plurality of SPS occasions, and transmit second DCI to trigger an SPS cancellation that cancels the one or more SPS occasions, the second DCI including at least a redundancy version field including one or more redundancy version values to indicate the SPS cancellation.
