The present disclosure is related to a method and apparatus for monitoring paging messages. A method for monitoring paging messages includes receiving wake up signal (WUS) configuration information; identifying whether a WUS mechanism is enabled; and monitoring a paging message in a paging occasion (PO) based on predefined PO monitoring configuration information. Wherein the predefined PO monitoring configuration information is associated with whether the WUS mechanism is enabled and at least one of the WUS configuration information and channel quality. The present disclosure improves the efficiency of paging remote units in a PO.

A UE performs first control channel monitoring according to a first CORESET and first search space set configuration(s), the first control channel monitoring performed on n subbands, n>1, able to be transmitted by a base station in an unlicensed band carrier. The UE determines, in response to a detection of a control channel in the monitoring and from the control channel, transmission bandwidth configuration to be used by the base station in the unlicensed band carrier for control channels. The UE performs second control channel monitoring according to a second CORESET and at least one second search space set configuration. The second control channel monitoring is performed on m subbands, m≤n, in the unlicensed band carrier, the m subbands being a subset of the n of subbands. A base station determines which subbands are available for use and transmits the transmission bandwidth configuration to the UE based thereon.

One or more wireless stations may operate to configure direct communication with neighboring mobile stations, e.g., direct communication between the wireless stations without utilizing an intermediate access point. A mechanism for wireless stations to learn preferred channels of neighboring wireless stations and to schedule channel sequences within a time period based on the learned channels may include advertisement of preferred channels and adaptation of channel sequences, based on the preferred channels, to maximize bandwidth utilization.

A link quality monitoring method performed by a mobile terminal includes the following steps: performing, by the mobile terminal, detection for a pre-configured radio link monitoring reference signal to determine whether the radio link monitoring reference signal is received; and reporting, by the mobile terminal, based on whether the radio link monitoring reference signal is received, in-synchronization or out-of-synchronization used to indicate radio link quality of the radio link used by the mobile terminal.
