A particular overall architecture for transmission over a bonded channel system consisting of two interconnected MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) 2.0 SoCs (Systems on a Chip) and a method and apparatus for the case of a “bonded” channel network. With a bonded channel network, the data is divided into two segments, the first of which is transported over a primary channel and the second of which is transported over a secondary channel.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE), may receive a message that includes downlink control information (DCI) pertaining to system information that is scheduled to be received from a base station. The UE may determine, based at least in part on the message, whether the system information that is scheduled is remaining minimum system information (RMSI) or is other system information (OSI), and searching a downlink bandwidth part for the scheduled RMSI or OSI determined from the message. The described techniques may serve to resolve ambiguity between RMSI and OSI, for instance, when scheduled in the same control region and having overlapping search spaces.

A user equipment (UE) the UE being configured to receive a message comprising configuration information, CI, indicating that a reference signal, RS, is quasi-co-located, QCL, with a transmission; and adjust a spatial Tx configuration for the transmission based on an RS associated with the received CI.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive, when operating in a multiple link communication system, one or more downlink control information (DCI) messages scheduling one or more downlink communications. The user equipment may determine, based at least in part on the one or more DCI messages, whether a communication constraint is satisfied for the one or more downlink communications. The user equipment may determine a communication configuration for the one or more downlink communications based at least in part on whether the communication constraint is satisfied. The user equipment may receive, in the multiple link communication system, the one or more downlink communications based at least in part on the communication configuration. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Autonomous transmissions between a user equipment (UE) and a base station may be configured that include at least one of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) or resources for the transmissions. In some cases, a trigger may be detected that changes the MCS or resources to be used for the autonomous transmissions. The trigger may include the presence or absence of retransmissions or the value of a channel measurement falling below or exceeding a threshold value. Accordingly, the base station and UE may adjust the MCS or resources to be used for the autonomous transmissions based on detecting the trigger and then communicate using the adjusted MCS or resources. In some cases, the configuration for the autonomous transmissions may be signaled via a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, device and apparatus for initial access, wherein a method for initial access includes: receiving a first configuration message; and establishing a connection between a relay node and an anchor node, based on the first configuration message. The method provided in this disclosure establishes a connection between the relay node and a central unit of the anchor node through the information interaction between base stations and the information interaction between base station and relay node. The present disclosure provides a scheduling method and a first node. The method includes: receiving second scheduling related information reported by at least one second node and first scheduling related information reported by at least one UE that is connected to the at least one second node; generating scheduling information used by the at least one second node for scheduling the connected UE; and transmitting the generated scheduling information to the at least one second node and/or the connected UE. A corresponding second node, third node, and computer readable medium are also provided.

Methods and apparatuses are provided for monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). A user equipment (UE) reports capability information indicating one or more tuples. Each tuple indicates a combination of serving cells configured for per-slot and per-span monitoring that the UE is capable of supporting. An indication is received in response to the capability information. A pair of values is determined based on the indication. A first value is a maximum number of serving cells configured for per-slot monitoring, and a second value is a maximum number of serving cells configured for per-span monitoring. A monitored candidate limit per slot is determined based on the first value. A monitored candidate limit per span is determined based on the second value.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that relate to a two-step random access procedure. Generally, the described techniques allow different configurations for a first message of a random access procedure depending on a connected-state of the user equipment (UE) performing the random access procedure. A base station may transmit configuration information to the UE and the UE may use the configuration information to determine resources, coding, block size, or other factors for transmitting the first message based on the radio resource control (RRC) connected state of the UE. The UE may then monitor for a random access response from the base station based on the first message from the UE.

The present disclosure relates to transmitting and receiving of system information which includes controlling the transmission and/or the reception to transmit and/or receive system information including a coverage enhancement level indication for indicating enhanced coverage levels supported by the wireless communication system and to transmit and/or receive system information including a group of information elements common for different coverage enhancement levels and information elements specific for different coverage enhancement levels grouped for respective coverage enhancement levels.
