One or more techniques for beamformed paging are disclosed. A transmission/reception point (TRP) may transmit a paging inquiry signal using beam sweeping in a paging inquiry (PI) block with a different time, frequency resource set and/or sequence configuration associated with the same paging occasion (PO), for example, to randomize and/or distribute WTRUs into different monitoring groups. A WTRU may transmit an uplink paging inquiry response indicating a downlink beam for a paging data transmission and/or a WTRU ID. A downlink control and/or a data channel transmission may be triggered by a paging inquiry response transmission. Paging downlink control information may be transmitted in a WTRU-specific control channel, which may contain CRC bits masked by a temporary paging identity, e.g., based on a WTRU ID that may be reported in a paging inquiry response transmission. A WTRU paging procedure may be based on a paging inquiry signal and/or response transmission.

Methods, systems, and devices may address issues for sending a paging message to a remote UE that is more than one hop from a base station.

Methods, apparatus and systems for determining a transmission resource for transmitting a wake-up signal in a wireless communication are described. In one embodiment, a method performed by a wireless communication node is disclosed. The method comprises: determining an initial transmission resource for wake-up signal (WUS) transmission; determining an updated transmission resource for WUS transmission based at least on the initial transmission resource and an offset; and transmitting, on the updated transmission resource, a WUS to at least one wireless communication device, wherein the offset is selected from a plurality of predetermined values based on a location of a paging occasion (PO) corresponding to the WUS.

Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system and method for generating and transmitting shareable electronic notification data via a hardware device network. A non-transitory wireless signal is broadcasted from a front-line unit in a network of front-line units, and a user determined to be in proximity to the front-line unit receives via the wireless signal reward data from a database. Electronic notification data is transmitted to the user device, whereafter the electronic notification data is displayed and an option to share the reward data to a secondary user is provided. Once shared, the secondary user's user device establishes a connection to the front-line unit to receive the reward data from the rewards database.

Provided are a communication control device, a communication control method, a communication device, and a communication method capable of changing priority of radio wave use.

A communication control device according to the present disclosure includes: an acquirer configured to acquire application data for changing a priority of radio wave use of a communication device from a second priority lower than a first priority to the first priority on the basis of a right to perform radio wave use with the first priority; a receiver configured to receive a frequency use notification notifying that the communication device is performing the radio wave use with the second priority; and a processor configured to update the priority of the radio wave use by the communication device from the second priority to the first priority in a case where the frequency use notification is received after the application data is acquired.
