Description of the related Art

Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be able to support communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple-access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems or LTE-advanced (LTE-a) systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems, which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ various techniques, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple-access communication system may include several base stations or network access nodes, each supporting communication for multiple communication devices simultaneously, which may otherwise be referred to as User Equipment (UE).

These multiple access techniques have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol that enables different wireless devices to communicate on a city, country, region, and even global level. For example, fifth generation (5G) wireless communication technologies, which may be referred to as New Radio (NR), are designed to extend and support diverse usage scenarios and applications relative to current mobile network generation systems. In one aspect, the 5G communication technology may include: enhanced mobile broadband involving human-centric use cases for accessing multimedia content, services and data; ultra Low Latency (ULL) and/or Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC) with certain specifications regarding latency and reliability; and large-scale machine-type communications, which may allow for a very large number of connected devices and the transmission of relatively small amounts of non-delay sensitive information. However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, further improvements in NR communication technologies and super NR technologies may be desirable.

For example, a 5G NR will provide greater flexibility in wireless communications. This increased flexibility may be applied to different aspects of wireless communications, including various mechanisms and techniques for scheduling or communicating (e.g., signaling) information regarding assignments and/or feedback of transmissions. Accordingly, there is a need for new techniques for managing the internet of vehicles (V2X) capability convergence protocol in a New Radio (NR).
