METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONGESTION CONTROL IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a UE (800) for congestion control in a wireless telecommunications network. The method comprises performing (701) Channel-Busy-Ratio and/or Channel occupancy Ratio, CBR/CR, measurements on one or more resource pools to generate CBR/CR values, wherein said one or more resource pools are configured for one bandwidth part or one component carrier for sidelink transmissions to one or more UEs, and wherein the measurements are performed over a sensing period which is either pre-configured by a network node and/or the UE. The method further comprises selecting (702) at least one resource within a resource pool based on a CBR/CR value and Quality of Service, QoS, requirements of at least one data packet for transmitting the at least one data packet. The method further comprises transmitting the at least one data packet on the selected at least one resource, based on QoS requirements of the at least one data packet.
