Abstract: Systems and methods of providing communications between UEs are generally described. A notification resource indicating subsequent transmission of a discovery message is transmitted from a UE to another UE using a discovery ID selected from a limited number of discovery IDs stored in the other UE. The other UE transmits a random access request to the UE having a temporary ID. The UE may not respond if the temporary ID is already used or may transmit data transmission information scrambled by the temporary ID. The other UE transmits a contention resolution PDU to the UE and may receive an ACK to indicate ID contention is not present, or either no response or a NACK to indicate the presence of ID contention. The other UE may either select a new temporary ID or use a backoff timer to retransmit the random access request at a random time.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing DMRS for a UE are generally described. The DMRS locations in a resource unit of a Physical Resource Allocation of a shared channel are randomly determined, and the DMRS sequences randomly generated before transmission from a master UE to a wearable UE. The DMRS locations are disposed on different subcarriers and symbols in the resource unit and are repeated every k subframes or m resource units within the same subframe. In situations in which the collision/contention probability is relatively small, DMRS in control channels may be used rather than in the shared data channel.

Abstract: A machine-readable storage medium, an apparatus and a method, each corresponding to either a service consumer or a service producer of a non-real-time (non-RT) radio access network intelligent controller (RIC) of a Service Management and Orchestration Framework (SMO FW). Communications from the service consumer to the service producer include: a training request for artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) training job; a query regarding a training status of the AI/ML training job; a cancel training request to cancel the AI/ML training job; and a notification regarding the training status of the AI/ML training job.

Abstract: A data-centric network and non-Real-Time (RT) RAN Intelligence Controller (RIC) architecture are described. The data-centric network architecture provides data plane functions (DPFs) that serve as a shared database for control functions, user functions and management functions for data plane resources in a network. The DPFs interact with control plane functions, user plane functions, management plane functions, compute plane functions, network exposure functions, and application functions of the NR network via a service interface. The non-RT RIC provides functions via rApps, manages the rApps, performs conflict mitigation and security functions, monitors machine learning (ML) performance, provides a ML model catalog that contains ML model information, provides interface terminations and stores ML data and Near-RT RIC related information in a database. An ML training host trains and evaluates ML models in the catalog, obtains training and testing data from the database, and retrains and updates the ML models.

Abstract: Technology for an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) donor operable to communicate synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission coordination information is disclosed. The IAB donor in a Fifth Generation New Radio (5G-NR) IAB network can determine SSB transmission coordination information for the IAB donor and a plurality of IAB nodes. The IAB donor can encode the SSB transmission coordination information for transmission from a central unit (CU) of the IAB donor to a distributed unit (DU) of an IAB node in the plurality of IAB nodes. The SSB transmission coordination information can enable the plurality of IAB nodes to send and receive SSBs to one or more of the IAB donor or other IAB nodes of the plurality of IAB nodes in the 5G-NR IAB network in accordance with a half-duplex constraint.
