Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to adjustment of contention window (CW) for listen before talk (LBT). A device determines a target size of a contention window for listen before talk at least in part based on at least one of a first metric and a second metric. The first metric indicates a level of intra-system activity of one of the plurality of systems. The second metric indicates a level of inter-system activity of the plurality of systems. The at least one of first and second metrics are determined by the device based on one or more messages in a set of resources shared by a plurality of systems. This solution enables the device to adjust the LBT by determining the target size of the contention window. By doing so, the device may determine an appropriate size of the contention window even when HARQ feedback is not available. In this way, a system may be able to coexist fairly with other systems in unlicensed spectrum.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, from a network element over a first interface, configuration information comprising at least a trigger condition for transmission of a remote-relay flow mapping information. The method may also include determining when to transmit the remote-relay flow mapping information to the network element based on the configuration information. The method may further include transmitting, to the network element over the first interface, the remote-relay flow mapping information when the trigger condition is satisfied.

Abstract: According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a first device determines one or more second devices to share a channel occupancy time (COT) for a sidelink transmission over an unlicensed spectrum bands. The first device transmits the information which indicates the COT to be shared by the first device and the one or more second devices. The second device determines a transmission gap within the COT and performs a LBT/CCA on the unlicensed spectrum bands based on the determined gap. In this way, it achieves sharing the COT among SL devices. It can improve spectrum efficiency and avoid resource waste.

Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method comprising, determining, by an apparatus, that co-channel resources in at least one selected slot for transmissions using a first radio access technology overlaps with co-channel resources for transmissions using a second radio access technology and that the co-channel resources are not reserved by another apparatus using the first radio access technology and transmitting by the apparatus, based at least on said determination, a co-channel occupancy message using at least a part of the co-channel resources in the at least one selected slot to occupy the co-channel resources in the at least one selected slot for transmissions using the first radio access technology wherein the at least one selected slot comprises feedback channel resources.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sidelink (SL) transmission enhancement. A first device determines a channel occupancy time (COT) to be shared by the first device and at least one second device for transmissions on a shared radio frequency band; selects a first time slot during the COT for a transmission; and performs the transmission in the first time slot by extending the transmission to a first guard period of the first time slot or to a second guard period of a second time slot prior to the first time slot during the COT. By doing so, a channel access procedure requiring a smaller time gap between transmissions can be selected and performed, which can thus improve the flexibility of channel access procedures for SL transmission in the shared frequency band.

Abstract: A method may include initiating, by a transmitter user equipment, a hybrid automatic repeat request process for groupcasting a transport block over seedbank to one or more relay user equipment and at least one remote user equipment. The method may also include performing a first groupcast transmission of the transport block using the hybrid repeat request process. The method may further include monitoring feedback from the one or more relay user equipment and the at least one remote user equipment at a first time instance and at a second time instance. In addition, the method may include generating a retransmission strategy of the transport block depending on the feedback monitored at the first time instance and the second time instance. Further, the method may include controlling retransmission of the transport block using the hybrid automatic repeat request process based on the retransmission strategy.
