Abstract: An apparatus in a network node has circuitry configured for causing a scheduling of an uplink transmission for a first user equipment and a downlink reception for a second user equipment on at least one resource, wherein the at least one resource is at least partially shared between the first user equipment and second user equipment. The apparatus has circuitry configured for providing an instruction, to the first user equipment, to transmit a first signal within the at least one resource. The apparatus also has circuitry configured for providing an instruction, to the second user equipment, to detect the first signal within the at least one resource. The apparatus having further circuitry configured for receiving information, from the second user equipment, wherein the information includes an indication of whether the second user equipment has detected the first signal.

Abstract: Certain example embodiments provide systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for enhanced traffic co-existence with multi-panel user equipment (UE). For example, certain embodiments may avoid excess dropping and/or cancellation. Taking inter-UE uplink (UL) prioritization as one example, whenever a network node has to accommodate higher-priority traffic on resources overlapping with ongoing and/or incoming lower-priority transmissions, certain embodiments may instruct a UE to transmit on spare antenna panel(s).

Abstract: This document discloses a solution for providing a group of devices with a user context. According to an aspect, a method comprises: receiving, at an access node from a network controller, a user context of a networking group, wherein the networking group comprises at least two devices;receiving, at the access node, a connection request from a device belonging to the networking group, wherein the device is in a networking relationship with at least one other user device of the networking group;determining, by the access node on the basis of the received user context, whether or not the connection request shall be handled and responded by the access node; and if the connection request shall be handled by the access node, handling the connection request and generating a response to the device and, otherwise,forwarding the connection request to the network controller.

Abstract: An example embodiment includes measuring by a user equipment, at least a signal quality and angle-of-arrival of wireless signals received from a network node; determining, by the user equipment, that the received wireless signals include signals from both primary path wireless beams and/or received reflected path wireless beams, based on the signal quality and the angle of arrival of the wireless signals; ranking, by the user equipment, the received wireless signals to primary path wireless beams and/or received reflected path wireless beams, based on the signal quality; and transmitting, by the user equipment, to the network node, at least one report including indications of both the received primary wireless beams having the best overall signal quality among both the primary and reflected beams, and received reflected path wireless beams having the best signal quality among the received reflected path wireless beams.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for providing transfer block indications in uplink (UL) grant-free transmissions may include a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon, and at least one processor configured to execute the computer readable instructions to transmit a first transport block (TB) to a base station (BS) during a first transmission time interval (TTI) using a grant-free UL transmission, receive a UL grant from the BS in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) region during a time window, determine a target of the UL grant, the target including at least one of the first TB, a second TB, or a previously transmitted TB, based on the UL grant, and transmitting the target of the UL grant to the BS.
