A first radio terminal of a radio communications network. In one example, the first radio terminal includes an electronic processor, a communication module, and an antenna. The electronic processor is configured, together with the communication module, and the antenna, to cause the radio terminal to transmit, in a first transmission to a second radio terminal, data via a first subset of a set of SPS radio resources, reserve a second subset of the set of SPS radio resources for a subsequent data transmission, and in response to detecting a triggering event, skip the subsequent data transmission.

Radio terminal, method to operate a radio terminal, and method to operate a radio communications network

A method to operate a transmitting radio device of a radio communications network is provided, wherein the method comprises: transmitting, to a receiving radio device, first data according to a first transmit mode; determining a first transmit mode time period of the first transmit mode so that the first transmit mode time period does not exceed a survival time period of the transmitting radio device; determining a last reception time when an acknowledgment was received from the receiving radio device, wherein the acknowledgement indicates a successful reception of the transmitted first data at the side of the receiving radio device; and transmitting, to the receiving radio device, second data according to a second transmit mode, wherein the second transmit mode is activated upon expiry of the first transmit mode time period since the determined last reception time.

Radio device, method to operate a radio device

Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications network, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes determining a reporting quality threshold for a parameter related to channel state information (CSI); performing a measurement for each of a plurality of beams from a first predetermined set of beams for evaluation; evaluating the measurement for each of the plurality of beams against the reporting quality threshold; discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements in response to determining that the reporting quality threshold is met for one of the beams, such that one or more beams in the first predetermined set of beams are not measured and evaluated; and reporting, to the wireless communications network, CSI for the one of the beams.

Network architecture, methods, and devices for a wireless communications network

An apparatus comprising at least one processor, at least one memory including computer program code, and at least one communication module. The apparatus receives a plurality of radio signals. The apparatus determines at least one communication parameter based on at least one of the radio signals. The apparatus determines at least one resource conflict indicator (RCI) based on the received radio signals and a transmission parameter. The at least RCI indicates at least one radio resource that has a potential risk of a resource conflict. The determined at least one communication parameter is mapped to the transmission parameter for the RCI. The apparatus transmits the RCI.

Apparatus, method for a radio communications network and use thereof

Methods and apparatus in a fifth-generation wireless communications, including an example method, in a wireless device, that includes receiving a downlink signal comprising an uplink access configuration index, using the uplink access configuration index to identify an uplink access configuration from among a predetermined plurality of uplink access configurations, and transmitting to the wireless communications network according to the identified uplink access configuration. The example method further includes, in the same wireless device, receiving, in a first subframe, a first Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission formatted according to a first numerology and receiving, in a second subframe, a second OFDM transmission formatted according to a second numerology, the second numerology differing from the first numerology. Variants of this method, corresponding apparatuses, and corresponding network-side methods and apparatuses are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a method for operating a first vehicle terminal (NN; NN, NN; NN) for a wireless communications network, the method comprising: determining a resource pattern within a resource pool, the resource pattern comprising a plurality of wireless resources of a data channel within the resource pool; and sending, on a control channel, an item of control information which indicates the resource pattern and a group of at least two vehicle terminals associated with the resource pattern.

Vehicle terminals, and method for operating vehicle terminals to monitor wireless resources

A method to operate an apparatus (UE) comprises: receiving () a plurality of radio signals (s, s); determining () at least one resource conflict indicator (RCI) in dependence on the received radio signals (s, s), wherein the at least one resource conflict indicator (RCI) indicates at least one radio resource (rr) that has a potential risk of a resource conflict; and transmitting () the resource conflict indicator (RCI).

A method to operate a transmitting radio device of a radio communications network is provided, wherein the method comprises: transmitting (), towards a receiving radio device, first data according to a first transmit mode; determining () a last reception time when a positive acknowledgment was received from the receiving radio device, the positive acknowledgement indicating a successful reception of the transmitted first data at the side of the receiving radio device; and transmitting (), towards the receiving radio device, second data according to a second transmit mode, wherein the second transmit mode is activated upon expiry of a first transmit mode time period since the determined last reception time.

A method to operate a first radio terminal of a radio communications network, is provided, wherein the method comprises: determining a SPS configuration for the first radio terminal, wherein the SPS configuration indicates a set of SPS, semi-persistently scheduled, radio resources of a shared device-to-device radio channel, in particular of a sidelink channel, SL-CH, wherein the indicated SPS radio resources are intended for a transmission by the first radio terminal; transmitting, towards at least one second radio terminal, data via a first subset of the set of the SPS radio resources; selecting at least one sensing resource out of the set of SPS radio resources; sensing the at least one sensing resource; determining a contention indicator in dependence on the sensing of the at least one sensing resource; and refraining from transmitting data via a second subset of the set of SPS radio resources if the contention indicator indicates a contention situation at the at least one sensing resource.

First radio terminal, method to operate a first radio terminal, and method to operate a radio communications network

A control message prospectively indicates a need of a communication device sending a data packet of a first class of data employing radio resources. The radio resources are reserved at least for the first class of data.

Resource allocation in a wireless network

A method for operating a roadside network unit is provided, which includes: ascertaining useful data for transmission to at least one further roadside network unit; providing the useful data for transmission on a sidelink channel in a licensed frequency range and/or for transmission on an ad hoc channel in an unlicensed frequency range; and transmitting the useful data on the sidelink channel in the licensed frequency range and/or on the ad hoc channel in the unlicensed frequency range.
