Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) of a group of UEs may receive, from a group member of the group of UEs, traffic information including a transmission schedule associated with traffic of the group member UE. The UE may determine a discontinuous reception configuration for the group of UEs based at least in part on the transmission schedule. The discontinuous reception configuration may include a discontinuous reception schedule for the group of UEs. The UE may transmit, to the group of UEs, the discontinuous reception configuration.

A low-power wake-up receiver includes a mixer-based two-stage heterodyne architecture that provides multi-stage channel filtering, including a combination of circuits and a digital signal processor that process energy in a plurality of advertising channels to detect a four-dimensional wake-up signature via frequency-hopping among the plurality of advertising channels. One receiver is a BLE/Wi-Fi dual-mode wake-up receiver.

A method for transmitting in a communication network uplink data from an application module in a user terminal. The method includes: determining, by said user terminal, if a correspondence exists between an application module providing at least one uplink packet and at least one rule designating a network slice instantiation to be used for transmitting uplink packets in the communication network; and in response to a determination by said user terminal that the application module providing at least one uplink packet corresponds to a rule designating a network slice instantiation to be used for transmitting the uplink packet in the communication network, transmitting said at least one uplink packet from the user terminal to an entity for access to a user plane of the designated network slice instantiation.

A slice manager associated with a network access point of a telecommunication network can manage combinations of network slices and bandwidth parts for user equipment (UE). The bandwidth parts can have independently set numerologies, such as subcarrier spacing values. The UE can be configured to use one or more active bandwidth parts at a time, such that the slice manager can instruct the UE to use multiple active bandwidth parts simultaneously with respect to the same network slice or multiple network slices.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for link adaptation in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A link adaptation test packet from a first WLAN device to a second WLAN device may be formatted as a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) transmission and may include one or more test portions for link quality estimation of the MIMO transmission. A link quality estimation portion of the test packet may permit measurement of link quality for various spatial streams of the MIMO transmission. The link adaptation test packet may enable a fast rate adaptation of a communication link based on the impact of interference to the various spatial streams. The second WLAN device may provide feedback information regarding the one or more test portions. The feedback information may be used to determine a transmission rate for a subsequent transmission from the first WLAN device to the second WLAN device based on wireless channel conditions.

Systems described herein provide techniques for establishing and modifying user plane communications sessions between Long-Term Evolution (“LTE”) User Equipment (“UE”) devices, connected to LTE base stations, and a Fifth Generation (“5G”) core network. An LTE-5G Interworking function (“LTE-5G IWF”) may logically generate a virtual 5G UE and/or 5G base station, map a LTE UE to the virtual 5G UE, and cause the establishment of a Protocol Data Unit (“PDU”) Session, at the 5G core network, with the virtual 5G UE. The LTE-5G IWF may provide PDU Session information to the LTE UE and base station to facilitate the establishment of user plane communications (e.g., via a tunnel) between the LTE UE and the 5G core network. The LTE-5G IWF may also receive modification parameters, such as Quality of Service (“QoS”) parameters, and provide instructions to the 5G core and/or to the LTE UE to handle traffic according to such parameters.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for low power channel sensing for pedestrian user equipments (P-UEs). A method that may be performed by a UE (e.g., such as a P-UE) includes determining a level of channel congestion for a channel during a first sensing duration. The method includes determining a second sensing duration and a transmission duration based on the level of channel congestion for the channel determined from the first sensing duration. The method includes sensing the channel for the second sensing duration. The method includes transmitting on the channel for the transmission duration.

According to various embodiments, disclosed are a method by which a terminal simultaneously transmits messages in at least two carriers in a wireless communication system supporting device to device (D2D) communication, and an apparatus therefor. Particularly, disclosed are a method by which a terminal simultaneously transmits messages in at least two carriers, and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: independently sensing, by a carrier, a transmission resource, and calculating the ratio of transmission resources, which can be simultaneously transmitted on at least two carriers, on the basis of a result of the sensing by the carrier; setting the sensed transmittable transmission resource as a transmission candidate resource when the calculated transmission resource ratio is greater than or equal to a preset threshold ratio; and selecting a transmission resource to be used for the message transmission in each of at least two carriers within the transmission candidate resource.

Allocating a physical radio resource for a non-guaranteed bit rate (non-GBR) bearer in a distributed communications system (DCS) is disclosed. More specifically, the method enables a radio circuit in a network node to divide the physical radio resource among a number of non-GBR quality-of-service (QoS) class identifiers (QCIs) based on a number of predetermined scheduling ratios, respectively. The radio circuit can be configured to dynamically rebalance physical radio resource allocation among the non-GBR QCIs such that the network node can maintain the predetermined scheduling ratios or respond to a reconfiguration of the predetermined scheduling ratios among the non-GBR QCIs. As a result, a network operator(s) can dynamically adjust physical radio resource allocation among the non-GBR QCIs based on, for example, subscribers' network usage and plan limits, thus making it possible for the network operator(s) to customize QoS configuration to enable differentiated non-GBR services.

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.
