Embodiments of the present invention provide A TID-based RTWT SP that can be configured for either trigger-based transmission or EDCA-based transmission for time sensitive traffic to reduce the chance of contention/collision on time sensitive traffic caused by non-time sensitive traffic using an EDCA mechanism. This can also reduce the chance of contention on time sensitive traffic when both trigger-based transmission and EDCA-based-transmission are used in the same TID-based RTWT SP. The AP MLD can dynamically adjust the schedule of TID-SPs for ether trigger-based or EDCA-based transmission and announce the new schedule of the TID-SPs according to the requirements of time sensitive traffic and/or traffic load condition, and can prioritize time sensitive transmission to meet QoS requirements.

Embodiments are directed towards systems and methods for user plane function (UPF) and network slice load balancing within a 5G network. Example embodiments include systems and methods for load balancing based on current UPF load and thresholds that depend on UPF capacity; UPF load balancing using predicted throughput of new UE on the network based on network data analytics; UPF load balancing based on special considerations for low latency traffic; UPF load balancing supporting multiple slices, maintaining several load-thresholds for each UPF and each slice depending on the UPF and network slice capacity; and UPF load balancing using predicted central processing unit (CPU) utilization and/or predicted memory utilization of new UE on the network based on network data analytics.

A method for wireless communication performed by a sensing user equipment (UE) includes identifying resource availability during a sensing window. The method further includes receiving a request to share resource information with a transmitter UE. The method still further includes determining a sharing condition is satisfied. The method also includes sharing the resource availability with the transmitter UE based on satisfying the sharing condition.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for dynamic reclamation of resources reserved for forward compatibility using communications systems operating according to new radio (NR) technologies. Certain aspects provide a method for wireless communication. The method generally includes identifying resources previously reserved for forward compatibility (FC) that are available for reuse, and providing signaling, to one or more user equipments (UEs), indicating the identified resources are available for reuse.

Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, and methods using or implementing dynamic resource allocation (DRA) of resources for machine-type communication (MTC), as a secondary partition within a system bandwidth. Allocations outside the secondary partition are configured as a primary partition for other than MTC. Apparatuses may perform MTC communications within the secondary partition when DRA configuration information includes allocation information for the secondary partition and the apparatus is configured for MTC. Otherwise, if the apparatus is other than MTC, the apparatus may refrain from performing communications in the secondary partition. Other embodiments are described.

A system includes a method for detecting a signal interference in a communication signal of a wireless communication system. An identified source of the signal interference is determined according to an interference profile of a plurality of interference profiles associated with an interference profile library having information that approximates characteristics of the signal interference. The signal interference of the communication signal is mitigated according to an interference parameter associated with the identified source by filtering the communication signal according to the interference parameter.

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating multiplexing SCI-only grant and data-only SPS traffic on sidelink are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a first UE includes transmitting a sidelink transmission to a second UE at a first resource, the sidelink transmission including data-only traffic and scheduling information corresponding to future data traffic. The example method also includes transmitting a time offset indicator indicating a starting resource of the future data traffic.

Provided is a buffer status reporting method, comprising: for any radio bearer with duplication function configured or activated on a link, determining that different logic channels of the radio bearer belong to different logic channel groups; and when a buffer status reporting condition is satisfied, performing a buffer status reporting procedure based on the buffer status of the different logic channel groups.

Methods, computing platforms, storage media, and systems for providing congestion control in Road Side Unit message (“RSU message”) scheduling. One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for providing congestion control in RSU message scheduling. Various aspects include measuring a channel busy ratio by a PC5 access layer of a Road Side Unit, comparing the measured channel busy ratio to one or more thresholds, and generating and transmitting RSU messages at a rate determined based upon whether the measured channel busy ratio equals or exceeds the one or more thresholds.
