A user equipment (UE) indicates to a network the types of SMS messages that the UE does not support. The network receives an indication from the UE corresponding to one or more types of short message service (SMS) messages that are supported by the UE, receives a SMS that is intended to be delivered to the UE, determines whether to forward the SMS message to the UE based on the indication received from the UE, when the SMS message is a type of SMS message supported by the UE, forwards the SMS message to the UE and, when the SMS message is not a type of SMS message supported by the UE, discards the SMS message.

A random access channel (RACH) procedure allows a user equipment (UE) to achieve synchronization with a network and obtain network resources and services from a scheduling entity. This disclosure provides various options for implementing a two-step RACH procedure that can support various UE behaviors in relation to using or not using a time symbol gap between a physical random access channel (PRACH) resource and a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource.

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a radio network node for handling transmission of data from a wireless device in a wireless communication network. The radio network node determines a delay value for a transmission of data from the wireless device based on a transmission type of data from the wireless device or a capability of the wireless device. The capability is related to a processing time for processing received data from the radio network node, or for processing data for transmission to the radio network node. The radio network node further transmits an indication, to the wireless device, which indication indicates the determined delay value.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment In (UE) may transmit, and a base station may receive, information indicating that the UE has a capability to support an uplink transmission configuration indication (TCI) state. The base station may transmit, and the UE may receive, downlink signaling identifying an uplink transmit beam based at least in part on the information indicating that the UE has the capability to support the uplink TCI state. The UE may transmit, and the base station may receive, uplink information using the uplink transmit beam identified in the downlink signaling. Numerous other aspects are provided.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a terminal can acquire an RACH configuration for at least one from among a plurality of UL BWPs, select an initial UL BWP from among the plurality of UL BWPs, and transmit a random access preamble on the basis of the RACH configuration on the selected initial UL BWP, the plurality of UL BWPs can include: a first UL BWP related to only a first type terminal of which the capability is reduced to support a bandwidth that is less than a predetermined bandwidth; and a second UL BWP related to a second type terminal that is different from the first type terminal, and the terminal, as the first type terminal, can be configured to select the first UL BWP or the second UL BWP as the initial UL BWP according to whether a predetermined condition is satisfied.

Improved network configuration options enable reduced capability (Redcap) devices to coexist with legacy devices. A master information block (MIB) cellBarred indication received in a Synchronization System Block (SSB) by a Redcap device may be ignored by the Redcap device, which may read a System Information Block1 (SIB1) to determine whether to connect to the cell defined by the received SSB. The Redcap device may consider the cell barred if the SIB1 includes a cellBarred indication targeting Redcap devices. The Redcap device may alternately search for an alternative SSB indicated by the SIB1 to determine whether to connect to the cell defined by the alternative SSB. A network node may broadcast Redcap specific and legacy specific SSBs at the same frequency location in a time-multiplexed manner, with each type of device determining cell access based on the received specific SSB. The network node may transmit SSB bursts specifically targeting Redcap devices.
