Abstract

Selon des modes de réalisation, la présente invention porte sur des procédés, des appareils, des supports d'informations et des systèmes pour configurer une transmission de données efficace par l'intermédiaire d'opérations en liaison latérale de véhicule à tout (V2X) en nouvelle radio (NR). Divers modes de réalisation décrivent comment utiliser diverses exigences de qualité de service (QoS) associées à différents scénarios d'utilisation et permettre le multiplexage/démultiplexage de paquets de données de différents équipements utilisateur (UE) sur la même unité de données de protocole (PDU) de commande d'accès au support (MAC). La mise en œuvre peut améliorer l'efficacité de l'UE et/ou du réseau dans des communications en liaison latérale V2X NR. D'autres modes de réalisation peuvent être décrits et revendiqués.
