    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for configuring a dual-mode SL LCH with simultaneous mode 1 and mode 2 transmission are provided. One method may include configuring one or more dual-mode sidelink (SL) logical channels (LCHs) to at least one user equipment to enable simultaneous sidelink mode 1 and sidelink mode 2 transmission. The method may also include receiving, from the at least one user equipment, at least one sidelink (SL) buffer status report (BSR) that may optionally comprise buffer status for one or more of the configured dual-mode logical channels (LCHs) according to a network configuration, and transmitting, to the at least one user equipment, a resource allocation that can be applied for the dual-mode logical channels (LCHs) according to the network configuration.

    Abstract: According to an aspect, there is provided a terminal device comprising means for performing the following. The terminal device transmits a tethering request for setting up a tethering cell over at least one communications network to at least one tethering terminal device capable of setting up a tethering cell. Then, the terminal device performs tethering cell discovery for discovering tethering cells set up by any of said at least one tethering terminal device. In response to discovering a tethering cell provided by a tethering terminal device of said at least one tethering terminal device, the terminal device accesses the tethering cell.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for channel occupancy time (COT) sharing for sidelink (SL) in unlicensed spectrum are provided. One method may include, upon acquiring a COT, an initiating user equipment (UE) transmitting a first indication to one or more responding UEs. The first indication may include at least a duration of the channel occupancy time (COT) and/or configuration information for at least one second indication. The method may also include transmitting the at least one second indication to the one or more responding UEs prior to a SL transmission from the one or more responding UEs. The at least one second indication may include an indication of a listen before talk (LBT) type that the one or more responding UEs should apply for the SL transmission taking place within the COT duration and/or an indication of a new COT duration.

    Abstract: This document discloses a solution for performing rerouting of a relayed connection. In an aspect, a method for an anchor terminal device supporting relaying between an access node and an end terminal device comprises: receiving a message requesting rerouting of said relaying, the message comprising at least one information element indicating at least one candidate terminal device; determining a communication delay between the anchor terminal device and the end terminal device via at least one of said at least one candidate terminal device and comparing the determined communication delay with a maximum delay threshold; if at least one determined communication delay is smaller than the maximum delay threshold, rerouting the relaying between the anchor terminal device and the end terminal device via one of the at least one candidate terminal device that provides the communication delay smaller than the maximum delay threshold, wherein the rerouting is carried out autonomously without receiving from the access node a reconfiguration message instructing the rerouting configuration; and if no communication delay is smaller than the maximum delay threshold, causing transmission of a message to the access node, the message indicating a need for reconfiguration of the relaying.
