    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided in which a UE transmits sidelink (SL) control information comprising a scheduling assignment (SA) indicating an SL transmission resource for a SL data transmission to a target UE. The SL transmission resource is based on one or more occupied SL resources identified by the UE and the SL transmission resource includes resources for an initial transmission and one or more retransmissions. The UE then transmits the SL data transmission using the SL transmission resource according to the transmitted SL control information. This is done without receiving, in a downlink control information (DCI), a grant of communication resources.

    Abstract: Method and devices are provided for wireless communication. A method involves obtaining, by a receive user equipment (UE), configuration information relating to a sidelink transmission between the first UE and a second UE, the configuration information for indicating to the first UE that the sidelink transmission is not associated with any corresponding sidelink control information (SCI). A further step involves receiving, by the receive UE, the sidelink transmission from the second UE using time and frequency resources indicated by the configuration information. Another method involves obtaining, by a transmit UE, configuration information relating to a sidelink transmission between the first UE and a second UE, the configuration information for indicating to the first UE that the sidelink transmission is not associated with any corresponding SCI and transmitting, by the first UE, the sidelink transmission to the second UE using time and frequency resources indicated by the configuration information.

    Abstract: A sidelink (SL) configuration for SL communications directly between a communication terminal and another communication terminal is separate from a communication network link configuration for communications with network equipment in some embodiments. An SL configuration, which could be an SL reconfiguration or an SL preconfiguration for use by the communication terminal after the terminal transitions from in coverage to out of coverage, could be transmitted through network/terminal signaling, and detailed examples of such signaling are disclosed herein. An SL configuration could be or include an SL bandwidth part (BWP) configuration and an SL communication resource configuration, such as one or more resource pools, within the SL BWP. An SL configuration that is determined and transmitted by network equipment to one or more terminals could also or instead involve a common or initial SL configuration to be used for SL communications by multiple communication terminals.

    Abstract: Provisioning and communicating physical signals and channels in NR networks having a first subset of transmit and receive points that use a first cell ID and a second subset of transmit and receive points that use a second cell ID. Operations include transmitting from, and receiving from, a first transmit and receive point a first signal or channel wherein the first signal or channel is based on a first user equipment (UE) specific parameter assigned via the first subset of transmit and receive points and transmitting from, and receiving from, the first transmit and receive point the plurality of transmit and receive points a second signal or channel wherein the second signal or channel is based on a second UE specific parameter assigned via the second subset of transmit and receive points. A transmit and receive point and a UE for implementing the operations are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A base station may transmit downlink control information (DCI) scheduling communications between the base station and a UE. The DCI is in a fallback DCI format. Based on whether or not the DCI is in a UE specific search space with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a UE ID of the UE, data transmitted by the base station or by the UE according to the DCI may be scrambled by a sequence that is initialized with a configurable parameter, or initialized with a cell ID.

    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, methods for data communications are disclosed. A device obtains a forward error correction (FEC) encoded bit stream. The device maps the FEC encoded bit stream to produce a set of symbols according to a bit-to-symbol mapping rule. The bit-to-symbol mapping rule comprises a first mapper bit position associated with a first mapper error protection level and a second mapper bit position associated with a second mapper error protection level. The first mapper error protection level is greater than the second mapper error protection level. The device then transmits the set of symbols in the communications system.
