Methods and apparatuses are described herein for accessing an unlicensed spectrum using portions of a carrier's bandwidth (BW). For example, a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may access a serving cell through an initial bandwidth part (BWP). The WTRU may be configured with a plurality of BWPs within an unlicensed frequency spectrum. The WTRU may then determine any of at least one monitoring period and at least one offset per each BWP. The WTRU may then monitor the BWPs based on any of the at least one monitoring period and the at least one offset. The WTRU may receive at least one signal from the serving cell. The signal may be at least one of a downlink control information (DCI), a synchronization signal block (SSB), a reference signal, or a preamble.

When a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) is switched from a first BWP to a second BWP without a change of a cell defining synchronization signal block (SSB), if a reference signal type for Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) is set to an SSB type, a radio terminal (12) continues to use for RLM measurements a first SSB associated with the first BWP after switching of the downlink BWP to the second BWP. This for example enables the radio terminal to monitor a suitable Reference Signal (RS) for RLM measurements after switching of the DL active BWP.

Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products may be used to communicate with a wireless network. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to multiplex the transmission of measurement data, as control plane data, between the WTRU and a network entity via a first wireless path and the transmission of measurement data, as user plane data, between the WTRU and the network entity via a second wireless path. Switching to/from the second wireless path may be based on a state of the first wireless path, a state of the network, a state of the WTRU and/or an amount of measurement data to be communicated by the WTRU or which has been communicated by the WTRU.

A method for setting a value of an inactivity timer for transitioning between states of a data session in a network comprising a first entity and a second entity providing network analytics is provided. The method includes obtaining, by the second entity, input data comprising communication description information for at least one user equipment (UE), and providing, by the second entity to the first entity, output analytics generated based on the input data, the output analytics comprising UE communications analytics for each data session where the output analytics are used to determining whether to update a value of an inactivity timer for a data session.

A terminal is disclosed including a processor that when a search space for a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure associated with a control resource set (CORESET) for the BFR procedure is configured by a radio resource control (RRC) information element, performs to monitor downlink control channel during the BFR procedure in the search space for the BFR procedure configured by the RRC information element, and when the search space is not configured by the RRC information element, performs to monitor the downlink control channel during the BFR procedure in a common search space; and a receiver that monitors the downlink control channel during the BFR procedure. In other aspects a radio communication method, a base station, and a system are also disclosed.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for downlink assignments for downlink control channels. One method includes, in response to an assignment group comprising a first assignment: determining a first data channel allocation comprising resources allocated to a first data channel; determining a first DMRS symbol location associated with the first data channel based on the first assignment, a first set of OFDM symbols, and a second set of OFDM symbols; and decoding the first data channel. The method includes, in response to the assignment group comprising a second assignment: determining a second data channel allocation comprising resources allocated to a second data channel; determining a second DMRS symbol location associated with the second data channel based on the second assignment, the first set of OFDM symbols, and the second set of OFDM; and decoding the second data channel.

A measurement method includes obtaining, by a terminal device, a plurality of pieces of information including first information and/or second information, where the first information is used to indicate that at least one quality value of a radio link between the terminal device and a network device is less than or equal to a first threshold, and the second information is used to indicate that the at least one quality value of the radio link between the terminal device and the network device is greater than or equal to a second threshold; and determining, based on the first information and/or the second information, whether to perform radio link monitoring (RLM) measurement relaxation.
