The present invention provides a method performed by user equipment, and user equipment. The method includes: determining sidelink resource pool configuration information; and determining the number Q′.sub.SCI2 of coded modulation symbols of second stage SCI. The second stage SCI is second stage sidelink control information carried by a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH).

Provided are a channel conflict processing method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. The channel conflict processing method includes: in the case where a transmission resource on a high-priority uplink channel of a UE and a transmission resource on a low-priority uplink channel of the UE overlap in time domain, determining the start position for transmission cancellation of the low-priority uplink channel; and canceling the transmission resource on the low-priority uplink channel according to the start position for transmission cancellation.

Provided are a quasi-co-location information obtaining method, communication node and storage medium. The method of obtaining quasi-co-location information, including: acquiring, by a communication node based on first information, a number x and/or a determination mode of quasi-co-location reference signal sets of a first element; where the first information includes at least one of: information indicated in a downlink control channel that schedules the first element; the number of quasi-co-location reference signal set corresponding to a predetermined codepoint in a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state mapping table; the number of CORESET group; the maximum number of quasi-co-location reference signal sets corresponding to one codepoint in the TCI state mapping table; or a number of time domain repetition of the first element; the number of quasi-co-location reference signal sets corresponding to a second element.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for transmitting SL CSI using an uplink channel. One apparatus includes a transceiver that receives a first SL-CSI value from a RX UE via one of a plurality of unicast links. The apparatus includes a processor that generates a SL-CSI report comprising the first SL-CSI value, wherein the first SL-CSI value is tagged with an identifier that identifies the RX UE. The processor controls the transceiver to transmit the SL-CSI report using an uplink channel.

Aspects relate to mechanisms for measuring the interference on the sidelink for use in calculating the channel quality indicator (CQI) in channel state information (CSI) reporting. Channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resources on which a sidelink device may measure the interference may be located outside of a bandwidth allocated for the transmission of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) and/or inside of the allocated bandwidth. The sidelink device may measure respective interference values on one or more CSI-IM resources, identify one or more CQI(s) based on the measured interference value(s) and transmit one or more CSI reports including the one or more CQIs to another sidelink device.

A method of channel state information (CSI) reporting is disclosed that includes determining, with a user equipment (UE), whether CSI to be reported includes a matrix based on network (NW) triggering and performing, with the UE, CSI reporting based on the determination. The CSI reporting may be periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic CSI reporting. The matrix may be W.sub.1,l, W.sub.f,l, or both. The NW triggering may be explicitly performed using one or more downlink control information (DCI) bits. The NW triggering may be implicitly performed based on a location of DCI detected by the UE. In other aspects, a user equipment is also disclosed.

Embodiments of this application describe a retransmission timeout (RTO) determining method and a related apparatus. The method includes a transmission device sending, to a network analyzer, a network throughput at which communication is performed through a first communication connection, where the network throughput is used by the network analyzer to determine an RTO corresponding to the first communication connection. The network analyzer obtains a first network throughput at which the transmission device performs communication through the first communication connection. The network analyzer calculates, based on the first network throughput, a first RTO corresponding to the first communication connection. The network analyzer sends the first RTO to the transmission device. The transmission device receives the first RTO sent by the network analyzer. The embodiments of this application help improve efficiency of retransmitting a lost data packet.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for flexible selection of a type of mapping to use for mapping code blocks to a set of resources for transmission. A user equipment (UE) may transmit assistance information to a base station to assist the base station in selecting from a set of mapping types available for code block mapping. The UE may then receive, from the base station, an indication of a selected mapping type for code block mapping based on the assistance information. The assistance information may include a recommendation of a mapping type or a metric of a channel that the base station may use to select the mapping type. Because the mapping type may be selected dynamically (e.g., “on the fly”), the UE and the base station may be able to adaptively exploit different types of diversity.

Aspects are provided allowing a base station to configure a UE to accumulate CSI over time for downlink data transmissions, and to transfer the accumulated CSI to a base station in a CSI report in response to a CSI report trigger event, thereby improving efficiency in CSI reporting and subsequent transmission reliability. Initially, the base station configures a CSI report trigger event and sends a plurality of data transmissions to a UE. The UE receives the data transmissions and then identifies the CSI report trigger event. Afterwards, the UE sends a CSI report to the base station including a CSI for each of the data transmissions in response to the CSI report trigger event. The base station may then adjust MCS or other parameters for subsequent data transmissions in response to the CSI report.

A wireless device receives a report mask indicating a transmission of a layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) report limited to a time period when a discontinuous reception (DRX) timer is running. The L1-RSRP report is transmitted, at a first time, in response to the DRX timer running at a predefined time period before the first time. The L1-RSRP report may include, for example, an L1-RSRP value and a reference signal index associated with the L1-RSRP value. Ata second time, a configured L1-RSRP report transmission is skipped in response to: the DRX timer not running at the predefined time period before the second time and the report mask.
