The disclosure relates to a method in a wireless device for transmitting an uplink signalling message in a wireless communication network. The wireless device is connected to a first network element over at least a first and a second wireless link. The method comprises determining a transmission mode among alternative transmission modes for transmitting the uplink signalling message. The alternative transmission modes comprise: transmitting on the first wireless link; transmitting on the second wireless link; and transmitting on both the first and the second wireless links. The method also comprises transmitting the uplink signalling message according to the determined transmission mode. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding method performed in the network element, and to the corresponding apparatus.

A host/device interface coupled between a host and a storage device, and including a data interface and a Quality of Service (QoS) and configured to communicate a QoS signal with the host. The QoS interface cooperates with the data interface to selectively manage a storage QoS on the storage device. A method is provided for storing data on a data medium including receiving a Quality of Service (QoS) command; selecting a portion of the data medium on which to store a data stream; forming a stream chunk from a portion of the data stream; configuring a transducer to store the stream chunk on the data medium in response to the QoS command; and storing the data on the data medium, such that the storing conforms to a QoS command value.

A communications device transmitting/receiving signals to/from a mobile communications network includes one or more network elements providing a wireless access interface for the communications device. The wireless access interface includes plural communications resource elements across a host frequency range of a host carrier, and a first section of the communications resources within a first frequency range for preferable allocation to reduced capability devices forming a first reduced bandwidth carrier and a second section of the communications resources within a second frequency range for preferable allocation to the reduced capability devices forming a second reduced bandwidth carrier. Each of the first and second frequency ranges is within the host frequency range. The communications device is configured with a reduced capability to receive the signals only within a frequency bandwidth less than the host frequency range and equal to at least one of the first frequency range or the second frequency range.

An apparatus and method for transmitting and receiving information related to multimedia data in a hybrid network and a structure thereof are provided. The transmission method includes generating transmission characteristic information about the media data, and transmitting the transmission characteristic information. The transmission characteristic information includes valid range information about the transmission characteristic information.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for data acknowledgment. One apparatus includes a transmitter that transmits data to a device. The apparatus may include a processor that determines a response window having multiple subframes for receiving an acknowledgement corresponding to the data. The apparatus may include a receiver that receives the acknowledgement within the response window.

In some example embodiment, there may be provided an apparatus configured to at least: receive information including survival time and/or traffic pattern information indicative of deterministic traffic; determine, based on the received information, a packet handling type indicative of whether the deterministic traffic is to be carried in a selective packet duplication mode or an alternative packet transmission mode over at least two links; and perform, based on at least on the survival time, the indicated packet handling type to enable the deterministic traffic to be carried over the at least two links in the selective packet duplication mode or the alternative packet transmission mode.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training and deploying machine-learned communication over radio frequency (RF) channels. One method includes: determining an encoder and a decoder, at least one of which is configured to implement an encoding or decoding that is based on at least one of an encoder machine-learning network or a decoder machine-learning network that has been trained to encode or decode information over a communication channel; determining first information; using the encoder to process the first information and generate a first RF signal; transmitting, by at least one transmitter, the first RF signal through the communication channel; receiving, by at least one receiver, a second RF signal that represents the first RF signal altered by transmission through the communication channel; and using the decoder to process the second RF signal and generate second information as a reconstruction of the first information.

Methods and apparatuses for communicating in a cellular communications network, including provision of a user equipment comprising processing circuitry to: replace one or more transmission parameters from which a further transmission parameter may be determined with one or more corresponding virtual transmission parameters to provide one or more replacement transmission parameters from which a modified further transmission parameter may be determined; determine the modified further transmission parameter based on the one or more replacement transmission parameters; and transmit a signal using the modified further transmission parameter.

A terminal and a base station in a wireless communication system and a method performed by the terminal and the base station are disclosed. According to an embodiment, the method performed by the terminal in the wireless communication system comprises: receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the PDCCH including downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling one or more physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs); receiving the PDSCHs according to the DCI; and transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK/NACK) codebook for the PDSCHs.

A method and a device in a node for wireless communications are disclosed in the present disclosure. A first node receives a first information block set, receives a first signaling and a first signal, and transmits a first bit block in a first radio resource block. The first information block set is used to activate a first information element and a second information element out of N information elements; when the first radio resource block only comprises one resource sub-block, only one of the first information element and the second information element is used to determine a spatial relation of the first radio resource block; when the first radio resource block comprises K resource sub-blocks, K being a positive integer greater than 1, the first information element is used to determine a spatial relation of at least one resource sub-block in the first radio resource block.
