A method for a wireless device operating in a wireless communication system includes receiving configuration information for configuring a non-Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) cell; and transmitting a Hybrid Automatic Repeat request (HARQ) feedback of the non-PUCCH cell on a special cell (SpCell) or a PUCCH cell other than SpCell, according to indication information. Further, when the indication information is not received with the configuration information, the HARQ feedback is transmitted on the SpCell, and when the indication information is received with the configuration information, the HARQ feedback is transmitted on the PUCCH cell.

In some implementations, a device may partition a coverage area associated with a network to form one or more geographic sectors, and may determine a pathloss value for each frequency band of multiple frequency bands and a spatial distribution between cells, within the geographic sector, for each frequency band. The device may determine a degree of contiguous coverage for each frequency band within the geographic sector based on the pathloss value and the spatial distribution between cells for that frequency band, and may determine, based on the degree of contiguous coverage for each frequency band, a specific frequency band, of the multiple frequency bands, to be used as a primary carrier for carrier aggregation in the geographic sector. The device may output information that identifies a carrier aggregation profile that indicates the specific frequency band to be used as the primary carrier for carrier aggregation in the geographic sector.

A satellite-based very-high-throughput system is provided and a web-caching system based on a high-altitude platform station, an aerostat for example, having the advantage of decreasing the throughput required over the feeder link without however requiring a cache server to be installed on board the satellite.

There is provided a method for defining at least one channel reservation window the method comprising: setting length for each of the at least one channel reservation window such that each channel reservation window comprises a plurality of sub-frames; dividing the length of each channel reservation window into a transmission part and an idle part, wherein the idle part consists of one or more symbols in one sub-frame; maximizing, at a symbol level accuracy, the length of the transmission part such that a ratio between the length of the idle part and the length of the transmission part fulfils a predetermined criterion; and concatenating the transmission part and the idle part so as to form the channel reservation window.

Even when the lengths of data items to be transmitted to users are not the same, the frames multiplexed at the same time finally have the same frame length and are transmitted. Even when the lengths of frames for the users are not the same at the time when a transmission request is received from a higher layer, a communication apparatus reconfigures at least two of the frames having short lengths into a frame having a long length through Aggregation so that the frames finally have the same frame length and transmits the frames at the same time in a multiplexed manner. On the transmitter side, the transmission power used per destination communication station can be increased due to a decrease in the total number of multiplexed frames. On the receiver side, an unstable AGC operation can be prevented.

A method for a User Equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system including a Primary Cell (PCell) and a first Secondary Cell (SCell) with a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource. The method includes receiving a parameter included in information about a second SCell without the PUCCH resource. The parameter indicates that a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) feedback of the second SCell is to be sent on the first SCell. The method further includes transmitting the HARQ feedback of the second SCell to the first SCell.

Disclosed are operation methods of a terminal and a base station in mobile communications. The operation method of the terminal in a mobile communication network, comprises receiving a terminal identifier from a base station; generating a plurality of interleaving parameters based on the terminal identifier; dividing a channel-coded data block into a plurality of sub-blocks, and performing a block interleaving on each of the plurality of sub-blocks using the plurality of interleaving parameters; and transmitting the plurality of sub-blocks on which the block interleaving has been performed, wherein an interleaving pattern of the block interleaving for each of the plurality of sub-blocks is determined by the plurality of interleaving parameters.

A method includes: determining, by an access network device, at least one piece of downlink control information, where the downlink control information includes at least one slot format indication; and sending, by the access network device, the downlink control information to a group of user equipment on a group common downlink control channel, where the group of user equipment operates in M bandwidth parts, the at least one slot format indication is used to indicate a slot format corresponding to N numerologies of the M bandwidth parts, and both N and M are positive integers greater than 1.

A first V2X wireless device may transmit a first discovery request to a V2X network entity. The a V2X network entity may comprise a first wireless device identifier and a V2X value. The V2X value may indicate a V2X communication capability. The first V2X wireless device may receive a first discovery response from the V2X network entity. The first discovery response may comprise a first discovery code. The first discovery code may correspond to at least the V2X value. The first V2X wireless device may perform a discovery procedure. The discovery procedure may employ the first discovery code. The first V2X wireless device may communicate, with a second V2X wireless device by employing the V2X communication capability, one or more packets in response to the discovery procedure connecting the first V2X wireless device with the second V2X wireless device.

In a first aspect, this specification describes a method which comprises including, in a network slice selection request, information indicative of a reason for making the network slice selection request. The method of the first aspect may, for instance, be performed by a user equipment (UE). In a second aspect, this specification describes a method which comprises determining a response to a network slice selection request from a UE based on information included in the network slice selection request that is indicative of a reason for making the network slice selection request. The method of the second aspect may, for instance, be performed by a network control function (e.g. a CCNF).
