Abstract: One embodiment described herein takes the form of a user equipment (UE). The UE includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to associate with a secondary UE for collaborative transmission of a data payload of one of the UE or the secondary UE to a base station. The processor is configured to determine a link quality with the base station or the secondary UE, and determine a location of the UE or the secondary UE while associated with the secondary UE. The processor is configured to transmit to the base station or the secondary UE at least the determined link quality or the determined location, and determine to maintain, re-establish, or disable the association with the secondary UE based on at least one of a number of factors including: the determined link quality, the determined location, or an indication received from the base station.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for a user equipment (UE) to receive physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions of a transport block (TB) over multiple slots. The UE can receive a configuration for a PDSCH transmission of a TB over multiple slots (TBoMS), such as a first number of slots, through a downlink from a base station. The configuration can include an indication of the first number of slots. The UE can further determine a transport block size (TBS) for the PDSCH transmission, and allocate a second number of slots used by the UE to support the PDSCH transmission. Based on the TBS for the PDSCH transmission satisfying a condition, the processor can be configured to receive the PDSCH transmission of the TB over the second number of slots, and decode the PDSCH transmission received.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive a first uplink grant having a first priority, generate, by a medium access control (MAC) layer, a first MAC protocol data unit (PDU) comprising first data, deliver the first MAC PDU to a physical (PHY) layer, transmit, via a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the first data using resources identified in the first uplink grant, receive a second uplink grant having a second priority, wherein a corresponding PUSCH duration of the first and second uplink grants overlap and wherein the second priority is higher than the first priority, generate a second MAC protocol data unit (PDU) comprising second data corresponding to the second uplink grant, deliver the second MAC PDU to the PHY layer of the UE, cancel the transmission of the first data and transmit the second data using resources identified in the second uplink grant via the PUSCH.
