This disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless sidelink resource allocation for a user equipment (UE) assisted by an anchor UE. Various mechanisms are disclosed for handling releasing of the anchor UE initiated by either the anchor UE or the assisted UE, and for handling sidelink resources already allocated to the UE by the anchor UE prior to the release. Additional mechanisms are disclosed for using an anchor UE to assist in allocating sidelink resources to multiple UEs configurable in a shared manner or non-shared manner.

According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method comprising: monitoring at least one paging identifier in a first radio resource control state, in which first radio resource control state a radio resource configuration is maintained for the user equipment; transitioning from the first radio resource control state to a second radio resource control state; and monitoring at least two different paging identifiers in the second radio resource control state.

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique that combines a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than a 4G system with IoT technology, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (e.g. smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety-related services, etc.) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. A method performed by a session management function (SMF) entity in a communication system, according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, may comprise the steps of: performing a packet data unit (PDU) session establishment procedure; identifying a QoS flow generated for ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC) in a PDU session; identifying whether an indicator indicating that the PDU session is an Always-on PDU Session has ever been transmitted to a terminal; and when it is identified that the indicator has not been transmitted to the terminal, transmitting the indicator to the terminal.

Disclosure discloses a method and a device in a node used for wireless communications. A node first receives first information, and then transmits a first signal and triggers a first timer, the first timer is expired and triggers a first procedure; the first information is used to determine a first time interval length; the first timer is started in a first time window, the first time window comprising a positive integer number of slots; a time interval between an end time of transmission of the first signal and a start of the first time window is equal to the first time interval length; the first procedure is related to the type of the first timer. By associating a start time of timing of the first timer with the first time interval length, the present disclosure optimizes the RRM and/or RLM timer design in NTN, thus improving the overall performance.

A processing method of configuration information of bearer, a network device and a terminal are provided in the present disclosure. The method of configuration information of bearer applied to a network device includes the following steps: when a Secondary Cell Group (SCG) or a Primary SCG Cell (PSCell) enters into a suspend state or a dormant state, modifying, by the network device, configuration information of a bearer via a signaling, to enable a configured uplink bearer to transmit on a Master Cell Group (MCG).
