One method includes receiving first information including a plurality of reference signal resource sets for a plurality of bandwidth parts. Each reference signal resource set of the plurality of reference signal resource sets corresponds to a bandwidth part of the plurality of bandwidth parts. The method includes receiving a plurality of spatial quasi-co-location information corresponding to a plurality of reference signal resources of the plurality of reference signal resource sets. The method includes assessing a radio link quality based on the plurality of spatial quasi-co-location information.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for supporting an improved communication speed in a wireless power transmission system. In such present specification, provided is the method comprising the steps of: transmitting at least one data packet to a wireless power reception apparatus; receiving, from the wireless power reception apparatus, a first request packet requesting a change in a communication speed of the wireless power transmission apparatus; and changing the communication speed of the wireless power transmission apparatus on the basis of the first request packet, and transmitting, at the changed communication speed, a first response packet in response to the first request packet to the wireless power reception apparatus.

A wireless device receives, from a base station, one or more configuration messages comprising a plurality of sidelink feedback resources via one of a system information block or a radio resource control message. A determination is made, based on a received signal power from the base station, a sidelink feedback resource of the plurality of sidelink feedback resources. A sidelink feedback signal is transmitted, to a second wireless device, via the sidelink feedback resource.

A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a receiving section that receives downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a downlink shared channel of a multicast; and a control section that controls transmission of Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) with respect to the downlink shared channel based on the DCI, wherein the DCI is common to a plurality of terminals. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a PDSCH using the multicast can be appropriately received.

A device for medium access control in a node of a wireless communication network with time-shared medium includes a slot allocation module configured to allocate a timeslot for transmission from the node to a destination node over the time-shared medium; a validation module configured to validate a data packet before transmission to the destination node based on a latency requirement for the data packet, and an expected latency for the data packet based on the position in time of the timeslot, resulting in an approved data packet or a disapproved data packet; a scheduling module configured to schedule an approved data packet in the timeslot for transmission to the destination node.

A method for mitigating interference in a frequency hopping channel system based on codeword metrics obtained during decoding of codewords. The method includes decoding a plurality of codewords using a particular error control coding method. Each of the plurality of codewords includes portions received from plurality of channels in the frequency hopping channel system. For each decoded codeword, one or more codeword metrics are obtained based on the cost of correcting errors during decoding of the plurality of codewords. Based on the codeword metrics, one or more channel metrics are inferred. Based on the inferred one or more channel metrics, a reliability metric of a particular channel is reduced, or incoming symbols received from the particular channel are ignored during decoding.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a transport block (TB), the receiving the TB including performing log likelihood ratio (LLR) calculations on one or more parts of the TB based at least in part on a determination that the TB is likely to fail a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The UE may transmit an indication of the one or more parts of the TB for which the UE performed LLR calculations. Numerous other aspects are described.

A system and method for dynamic enablement of a RLC mode of a Data Radio Bearer (DRB) based on UE radiofrequency (RF) conditions. A threshold value for a network characteristic is provided to a gNodeB. Changes in the network characteristic correlates to changes in RF channel conditions of the UE. The trigger configures the gNodeB to identify when the network characteristic meets the threshold value for selectively controlling operation of the gNodeB at one of a plurality of different operation modes including an initial radio link control (RLC) mode based on the network characteristic. A Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session is established with the gNodeB operating in an initial RLC mode with the possibility to dynamically switch to a different RLC mode based on RF channel conditions.

A method for synchronizing a distributed application includes: transmitting, by an application backend, application data packets to an application frontend; transmitting, by the application backend, a synchronization request packet to the application frontend; retrieving, by the application backend, a backend timestamp from a server clock; retrieving, by the application frontend, a frontend timestamp from a terminal device clock and transmitting the retrieved frontend timestamp to the application backend; calculating, by the application backend, a time offset of the frontend timestamp from the retrieved backend timestamp and using the calculated time offset for synchronization; detecting, by a scheduler, an actual state of a communication connection and transmitting control data to the application backend; and adapting, by the application backend, transmission of synchronization request packets based on the control data indicating jitter of the synchronization request packets preventing the distributed application from being executed synchronously.
