Abstract: An apparatus (DU) comprising: means for receiving an identification of a serving network access node; and means for associating a sub-set of contention-free-random-access (CFRA) resources with the identified serving network access node. An apparatus (CU) comprising: means for sending a first message comprising an identification of a serving network access node (sDU) to enable association of a sub-set of contention-free-random-access (CFRA) resources with the identified serving network access node (sDU); and means for receiving, in reply, a second message specifying the association of the sub-set of contention-free-random-access (CFRA) resources with the identified serving network access node (sDU).

Abstract: Various example embodiments relate to configuration of uplink transmissions. An apparatus may transmit a first uplink transmission with a first uplink configuration and a second uplink transmission with a second uplink configuration. The first and second uplink transmissions may at least partially overlap. The first and second uplink configurations may comprise first and a second initial cyclic shifts, first and second orthogonal cover codes, first and second reference signal initializations, first and second scrambling sequence initialization, and/or first and second scrambling sequences for the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission, respectively.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to configured grant (CG) enhancements. An apparatus determines whether at least one resource in a predetermined duration is to be used for CG data transmission, the at least one resource following a target resource in time domain. The apparatus transmits, based on a determination result and to a network device, an indication on the target resource, the indication indicating if the at least one resource is used or cancelled. In this way, UE is capable of indicating the usage of CG occasions per period with little increase in signaling overhead. In some cases, a scheduling priority of the UE can be dynamically updated by the network based on such indication.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses, methods, and computer readable storage media for multi-consecutive slots transmission (Multi-consecutive slots transmission). An apparatus obtains at least one group of single-slot candidate resources available for a sidelink transmission. The apparatus determines, based on a first number of slots for multi-consecutive slots transmission, a first set of multi-consecutive slots transmission candidate resources from the at least one group of single-slot candidate resources, a multi-consecutive slots transmission candidate resource comprising the first number of consecutive slots. If the first set of multi-consecutive slots transmission candidate resources meets at least one multi-consecutive slots transmission candidate resource condition, the apparatus selects a target resource for transmission of the multi-consecutive slots transmission from the first set of multi-consecutive slots transmission candidate resources. Otherwise, the apparatus determines the target resource for transmission of the multi-consecutive slots transmission based on a multi-consecutive slots transmission criterion.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to sidelink positioning session establishment. In an aspect, a terminal device obtains session information associated with a first sidelink positioning session, and determines, based on the session information, difference information between the first sidelink positioning session and a second sidelink positioning session in which the terminal device is a target device. The terminal device transmits a positioning request for determining at least one anchor device to perform the second sidelink positioning session, wherein the positioning request comprises the difference information. The terminal device performs the second sidelink positioning session with the at least one anchor device. The embodiments of the present disclosure can immediately activate the target device in an efficient manner with reduced signaling overhead and latency.

Abstract: Determining positioning of a UE in a network includes the UE transmitting mobility status information to a LMF. A wireless network broadcasts configuration parameters for a set of mobility indicators. A receiving UE evaluates the configuration parameters and derives mobility status information, which the UE reports to the LMF. The LMF then determines positioning frequency layer and positioning reference signal configurations on DL (PRS) and UL (SRS). The LMF then sends the positioning frequency layer and reference signal configurations for DL and/or UL and positioning measurement and reporting configurations to the UE, its serving gNB and configured neighbour gNBs. The UE and gNB(s) then perform positioning measurements according to the positioning reference signal configurations for DL and/or UL and according positioning measurement and reporting configurations and report the positioning measurements to the LMF to determine the UE's position in the wireless network.

Abstract: A method is provided that includes monitoring a radio link quality at a user equipment connected to both a first transmission-reception point (TRP) and a second TRP of a network. The user equipment having a first downlink (DL) connection and a second DL connection with respectively the first TRP and the second TRP, but an uplink (UL) connection with with the second TRP but not the first TRP, and the radio link quality monitored is of the second DL connection with the second TRP. The method includes identifying a condition for switching the UL connection, based on at least the radio link quality of the second DL connection, and switching the UL connection from the second TRP to the first TRP, based on the determination.
