A method for deploying and sharing aerial cells in a massive machine type communication (mMTC) network includes forecasting data traffic across a plurality of mMTC network operators for each of a plurality of geographical areas. The method includes generating a forecasted plan based on the forecasted data traffic, and a hovering time of each of a plurality of aerial cells. The method includes deploying and sharing at least one aerial cell from the plurality of aerial cells between the plurality of mMTC network operators to provide coverage to at least one mMTC node in at least one geographical area of the plurality of geographical areas, based on the forecasted plan.

Methods, devices, systems, and means for selection of a coordinating user equipment, UE, in a user equipment-coordination set, UECS, that facilitates selection of the coordinating UE by the UEs in the UECS are described herein. Sharing of the role of coordinating UE by UEs in the UECS can be scheduled in a round-robin manner. Selection criteria can be used to determine which one or more UEs in the UECS will offer better performance in the role of coordinating UE.

Channel occupancy time (COT) aware sensing and resource selection for new radio-unlicensed (NR-U) sidelink operations is disclosed. A first sidelink user equipment (UE) determines a sensing window or resource selection window (RSW) based on a projected listen-before-talk (LBT) completion time. The UE may sense for a subset of sideline resources within the RSW and COT-SI from a neighboring sidelink UE including identification of a COT initiated by the neighboring UE and one or more parameters associated with the COT. The UE may identify in-COT resources of located within the COT and out-of-COT resources located outside of the COT and then randomly select a set of transmission resources from the in-COT and out-of-COT resources. The UE may then transmit to a second UE using the set of transmission resources.

Secure, distributed radio access networks are enabled, e.g., to facilitate network resilience and security. For instance, a device can comprise a processor, and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: in response an event being determined to have occurred that affects operation of a primary radio access network, activating an alternate radio access network via a group of mobile devices and re-routing communications from being communicated via a fixed location radio access network equipment of the primary radio access network to being communicated via the group of mobile devices of the alternate radio access network.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which two or more UEs of a wireless communications system may establish a sidelink connection. A first UE that is initiating sidelink communications may evaluate whether the sidelink connection can support a quality of service (QoS) for a data flow prior to admitting the data flow. The first UE may evaluate a link quality with one or more other UEs that are to use the data flow on the sidelink connection, evaluate system congestion of time/frequency resources that are available for the sidelink connection, or any combinations thereof, and admit the data flow based on the evaluation. A link quality of the sidelink connection may be determined based on a type of communication associated with the data flow, such as unicast communications with one other UE, multicast communications with multiple other UEs, or broadcast transmissions to multiple UEs.

Methods and systems for providing an enhanced proximity services. The method includes monitoring, by a proximity controller provisioned in a preferred network, dual subscriber identification module (SIM) dual subscriber (DSDS) devices operating in the preferred network, detecting, by the proximity controller, a DSDS device operating in a non-preferred network, wherein the DSDS devices and the DSDS device are configured to switchably operate in one of the preferred network or the non-preferred network based on coverage, locating, by the proximity controller, from the monitored DSDS devices a DSDS device proximate to the DSDS device operating in the non-preferred network, and enabling, by the proximity controller, the proximate DSDS device and the DSDS device operating in the non-preferred network to establish a sidelink communication channel between the proximate DSDS device and the DSDS device operating in the non-preferred network for offloading data communications from the non-preferred network to the preferred network.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for cross-carrier sidelink channel state information (CSI) reporting. One aspect provides a method for wireless communication by a first user equipment (UE). The method generally includes transmitting, to a second UE, one or more channel state information (CSI) requests on one or more first component carriers (CCs), via one or more sidelink control informations (SCIs) that includes a CSI request flag and receiving, in response to the one or more CSI requests, one or more CSI reports from the second UE on one or more second CCs.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE), such as a pedestrian UE, may perform a discovery procedure with a second UE in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) wireless communications environment that includes multiple other UEs in addition to the first UE and the second UE. The second UE may, for example, be a roadside UE configured to aggregate V2X messages for the first UE. The first UE may determine, based on performing the discovery procedure, a schedule for the first UE to use to receive bundled V2X messages from the second UE. The first UE may receive, from the second UE based on the determined schedule, a message indicating bundled information from multiple V2X messages received at the second UE from the multiple UEs.

A method for transmitting data includes generating a plurality of first data frames based on the same type of data content, wherein the plurality of first data frames have the same traffic identifier (TID), and the plurality of first data frames having the same TID have the same access media priority in a plurality of transmission links; and transmitting the plurality of first data frames having the same TID using the plurality of transmission links. An apparatus for performing the method may include a terminal in a wireless communication network.

A data transmission method, a device, and a medium are provided. The data transmission method includes: sending first notification information to a second target device in a case that a wireless link between a relay terminal device and a first target device is abnormal. The first notification information is used to reduce data traffic transmitted from the second target device to the relay terminal device or to stop data transmission between the second target device and the relay terminal device.
