    Abstract: A network, e.g. a New Radio network operating in the unlicensed spectrum, may reserve resources for the purpose of UE(s) performing a random access procedure (RACH) on the network. The network may indicate the resource reservation to the UE(s) in information transmitted to the UE(s) via signaling. The UE(s) may receive the information indicative of the resource reservation and may subsequently perform a RACH using the reserved resources indicated in the information received by the UE(s). The information or at least a portion of the information may be received in an initial signal, in a slot format indicator as part of downlink control information (DCI), in a wideband demodulation reference signal, in a radio network temporary identifier, and/or in radio resource control signaling.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems to coordinate resource allocation between two UEs for sidelink communication. A receiving UE receiving sidelink communication from a transmitting UE may configure coordination resources used to coordinate sidelink communication between the two UEs. The receiving UE may receive from the transmitting UE data indicating resources reserved and intended to be used by the transmitting UE to transmit sidelink data to the receiving UE. The receiving UE may determine a coordination message used to indicate whether the resources reserved by the transmitting UE are available for use by the receiving UE to receive the sidelink data from the transmitting UE. The receiving UE may determine resources from the coordination resources to be used to carry the coordination message and may transmit the coordination message carried on the selected resources to indicate to the transmitting UE whether to use the reserved resources for the sidelink data.

    Abstract: A method performed for side-link (SL) configuration of a plurality of user equipment (UEs), the method comprising: sending, to a transmitting UE (Tx UE) and a receiving UE (Rx UE), a request for sidelink (SL) positioning reference signal (PRS) capabilities data; receiving, from each of the Tx UE and the Rx UE, respective SL PRS capabilities data; configuring a SL positioning reference signal (PRS) that is based on the SL PRS capabilities data for each of the Tx UE and the Rx UE; sending data specifying a selected SL PRS configuration to the Tx UE; receiving an acknowledgement signal from the Tx UE indicating a Tx UE SL PRS configuration that is based on the selected SL PRS configuration; and providing, to the Rx UE, the Tx UE SL PRS configuration.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for revocation and/or modification of user consent in Edge Computing (MEC). A user equipment device (UE) may determine that user consent needs to be updated. The user consent may be associated with MEC. Additionally, the UE may transmit, via an application layer of the UE, a user consent modification request to an edge application server of a network, e.g., of an edge data network. The user consent modification request may be carried in application data traffic. The user consent modification request may be indicated via an Nnef_ParameterProvision_Update service operation. The user consent modification request is indicated via an Nnef_ParameterProvision_Update service operation.
