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.

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

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.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus and computer program products for network selection. A method implemented at a terminal device comprises obtaining an indication of a first carrier that provides cross-carrier configuration of a second carrier for device to device, D2D, communication; and selecting, from a list of authorized networks, a serving network based on the second carrier and the obtained indication. With embodiments of the disclosure, support for device to device communication can be improved.

Methods and apparatuses for network selection

A method in a node is disclosed. The method comprises generating a tag for an associated data packet at a first layer, the generated tag indicating one or more parameters related to transmission of the associated data packet. The method comprises signaling the tag from the first layer to another layer. The method comprises mapping, at the another layer, the associated data packet to a logical channel based on the one or more parameters indicated by the tag, and selecting one or more resources for transmission of the associated data packet based on the mapping of the associated data packet to the logical channel.

Per-packet resource pool selection in LTE V2X system

A method in a terminal device for transmission to at least a first network device and a second network device over bundled Transmission Time Intervals (TTIs). The method comprises determining that a first TTI for transmission to the first network device overlaps a second TTI for transmission to the second network device based on a first Timing Advance (TA) value associated with the first network device and a second TA value associated with the second network device; and blanking a portion of the first TTI, such that the rest of the first TTI does not overlap the second TTI.

Methods and devices for multi-connection transmission

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses and computer programs for scheduling a transmission. A method implemented at a terminal device comprises receiving, from a network device, a scheduling configuration for a device to device, D2D, transmission of the terminal device; receiving, from the network device, an uplink scheduling grant for a cellular uplink transmission in a same time resource overlapping with the D2D transmission; determining a scheduling priority for the D2D transmission relative to the cellular uplink transmission based on at least one of: a first comparison between an associated priority of the scheduling configuration and a first priority threshold, and a transmission restriction; and performing at least one of the D2D transmission and the cellular uplink transmission based on the determined scheduling priority. With embodiments of the disclosure, D2D transmission and cellular uplink transmission from a terminal device can he well coordinated.

Methods and apparatuses for transmission scheduling in a wireless communication system

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and devices for data retransmission. In example embodiments, a method implemented in a first device is provided. According to the method, a RLC packet to a second device is transmitted on a RLC layer. It is determined whether an ACK feedback for the RLC packet is received from the second device during a predetermined RLC retransmission period. In response to missing the ACK feedback during the RLC retransmission period, the RLC packet is retransmitted to the second device on the RLC layer, regardless whether a NACK feedback for the previously transmitted RLC packet is received from the second device.

Methods and devices for data retransmission

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method and device for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS). In example embodiments, the base station determines a plurality of SPS configurations for the terminal device and further indicates priority information associated with at least one of the plurality of SPS configurations to the terminal device. Accordingly, based on the priority information, the terminal device can select one of the SPS configurations for packet transmission. In this way, the SPS configurations may be utilized in a non-conflicting way.
