Disclosed herein are an apparatus and a method for autonomous vehicle negotiation based on Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication, the method including requesting, by vehicles that enter a driving negotiation section, a driving negotiation token, acquiring, by a vehicle that enters the driving negotiation section first, among the entering vehicles, the driving negotiation token, performing driving negotiation based on whether the driving negotiation token is acquired, and returning, by a vehicle having acquired the driving negotiation token, the driving negotiation token when the vehicle arrives at a destination.

Apparatus and methods are provided for group scheduling configuration and uplink HARQ configuration for the NR multicast services. In one novel aspect, the UE receives broadcasts the SIB message related to multicast transmission, receives multicast control information via RRC message, and configures the uplink HARQ feedback. In one embodiment, the SIB message includes control Resource Set and/or search space for MB-RNTI scramble. The multicast control information includes control Resource Set and/or search space within the MTCHinfolist G-RNTI scramble. The multicast control information includes one or more elements including MTCH index, uplink HARQ feedback request to inform the concerned UE(s) the HARQ feedback is disabled or enabled, the timing information between PDSCH and the uplink PUCCH feedback resource, the option of HARQ based feedback, one or a set of PUCCH resource or PUCCH resource instance, and an MTCH retransmission timer.

A method by which a first device performs sidelink communication is provided. The method comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, a sidelink grant associated with a first retransmission resource and an initial transmission resource of a transport block; transmitting, to a second device, a PSCCH and a PSSCH associated with the PSCCH, on the basis of the initial transmission resource; determining a PSFCH resource for receiving a PSFCH from the second device, on the basis of the index of a slot and the index of a subchannel associated with the PSSCH; receiving, from the second device, the PSFCH on a first PSSCH, on the basis of the PSFCH resource; comparing a time interval between the PSFCH resource and the first retransmission resource with a minimum processing time required between the reception of the PSFCH and retransmission of the transport block.

In the present invention, disclosed is a method for uplink multi-user transmission in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method for performing, by a station (STA), uplink (UL) multi-user (MU) transmission in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving, from an access point (AP), a trigger frame including information for UL MU transmission; and transmitting an UL MU PPDU on the basis of the information for UL MU transmission, wherein the trigger frame is a medium access control (MAC) frame, a MAC header of the trigger frame includes a type field and a subtype field, and the type of the trigger frame may be indicated by the type field and the subtype field.

Embodiments of a station (STA) and method of communication are generally described herein. The STA may be included in a first plurality of STAs affiliated with a first multi-link logical entity (MLLE). A plurality of links may be established between the first MLLE and a second MLLE, wherein the second MLLE may be affiliated with a second plurality of STAs. The STA may receive a first subset of a sequence of MAC protocol data units (MPDUs). A second subset of the sequence of MPDUs may be transmitted by another STA of the first plurality of STAs. The STA may transmit a block acknowledgement (BA) frame that includes: a number of BA bitmaps, configurable to values greater than or equal to one; and BA control information for each of the BA bitmaps.

Some embodiments of this disclosure include apparatuses and methods for implementing block acknowledgment (BA) operations for multi-link wireless communication networks. For example some embodiments relate to an electronic device including a transceiver and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The one or more processors transmit, using the transceiver and to a second electronic device, a first set of one or more frames on a first link and a second set of one or more frames on a second link. The one or more processors receive, using the transceiver and from the second electronic device, a first block acknowledgment (BA) frame on the first link and a second BA frame on the second link. The one or more processors further determine, based on received first BA frame and the second BA frame, a failed or missing frame of the first set of one or more frames transmitted on the first link.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a network entity transmits, to a user equipment (UE), at least one file, the at least one file comprising a group of data packets, wherein each data packet of the group of data packets of the at least one file is associated with a file identifier of the at least one file, transmits, to the UE, after transmitting the last data packet of the group of data packets of the at least one file, a request for the UE to report a reception status of the at least one file, transmits, to the UE, one or more repair bits for the at least one file, receives an acknowledgment from the UE, and ceases transmission of the one or more repair bits upon reception of the acknowledgment from the UE.

The present disclosure describes methods, system, and devices for configuring hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission. The method includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) parameter to configure a one-shot HARQ-ACK feedback mode; and receiving, by the UE, a first downlink control information (DCI) comprising a first K, the first DCI corresponding to a first PDSCH. The method includes receiving, by the UE, a second DCI comprising a second K with an applicable value and an one-shot request field with a positive value, the second DCI corresponding to a second PDSCH; and transmitting, by the UE, a one-shot HARQ-ACK feedback according to a preset rule.

A multi-link aggregation transmission method and a related apparatus. The method includes: a receive end receives at least one of a data frame and a BAR frame over a plurality of links between the receive end and a transmit end, where the plurality of links includes a first link. The receive end receives a block acknowledgment request BAR frame over the first link, where the BAR frame carries SSN_1 corresponding to the first link. The receive end adjusts, based on SSNs corresponding to all the links, a value of a current starting sequence number WinStart of a scoreboard window. The receive end processes, based on the adjusted WinStart, a data frame received over the plurality of links. The receive end can adaptively adjust the WinStart.

There is provided a communication apparatus that complies with an IEEE 802.11 series standard, comprising: data transmitting unit for transmitting data frames each including a data unit to an other communication apparatus a plurality of times continuously; generating unit for generating a Block Ack Request (BAR) frame; BAR transmitting unit for transmitting the BAR frame to the other communication apparatus after transmission of the data frames the plurality of times continuously; and receiving unit for receiving a Block Ack (BA) frame as a response to the BAR frame, wherein the generating unit indicates a sequence number for a data unit in an initial data frame using a predetermined field in the BAR frame, and the predetermined field includes a different field from a Starting Sequence Number field in the BAR frame.
