In certain embodiments, a (CBSD) base station for a (CBRS) radio system transmits new information elements in an existing capability exchange message to a spectrum access system (SAS) informing the SAS as to whether the SAS should transmit a channel-change message to the base station either (i) directly (and despite of domain proxy being present in the communication path) or (ii) via a domain proxy. If and when the SAS subsequently receives notification of incumbent activity from an Environmental Sensing Capability system, the SAS transmits either a new channel-change message or includes new information elements in an existing heartbeat message to the base station either (i) directly or (ii) via the domain proxy per the capability exchange message. The SAS can combine multiple channel-change messages for multiple base stations into a single message for transmission to a domain proxy that can communicate with those multiple base stations, thereby reducing communications to and from the SAS and decreasing the time that it takes to change channels without jeopardizing existing traffic.

According to various embodiments, a multi-link device (MLD) operating in a plurality of links can receive a PPDU through a first link from among the plurality of links. The PPU can include a first information field related to a second link that is differentiated from the first link. The first information field related to a second link can include a second information field related to a link identifier of a second link and a third information field related to whether all pieces of element information related to a second link is included in the PPDU.

Techniques pertaining to a machine-learning assisted environment detection framework for self-adapting inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) steering strategy in wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) extracts one or more feature metrics regarding a wireless network environment based at least partially on sensor information received from one or more sensors of the UE and radio frequency (RF) signal information from a RF circuit of the UE. The UE identifies a scenario with respect to a current status of the wireless network environment according to the one or more feature metrics. In response to identifying the scenario, the UE performs a RAT-related operation.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for network slice selection and/or reselection. A WTRU may receive updated assistance information for network slice selection and/or reselection. The WTRU may apply local policies to determine when to use the updated assistance information to access a network slice. The WTRU may determine whether to contact an existing network slice function or a new network slice function to establish a connection to a network slice. Based on the determination, the WTRU may transmit different information to the network. The network slice selection and/or reselection may be initiated by a WTRU or by a network.

A network device for use with a first client device and a second client device, said client device comprising: a memory; a radio; a control interface; and a processor configured to execute instructions stored on said memory to cause said network device to: determine a portion of time for a first channel state; determine a portion of time for a second channel state; instruct said radio system to operate in the first channel state; monitor a first client device parameter; instruct said radio system to operate in the second channel state; monitor a second client device parameter; modify the initial first portion of time; generate the control signal to place said radio system in the first channel state based on the modified initial first portion of time; and transmit the control signal to said radio system via said control interface to place said radio system in the first channel state.

Embodiments of the disclosed techniques include methods for remote interference management (RIM) implemented in a network device in charge of management in a wireless network. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving messages from a set of base stations, wherein each message from abase station of the set of base stations indicates that the base station is interfered. The method further includes grouping the set of base stations into a set of reference signal groups based on the messages, each reference signal group being mapped to a reference signal group identifier; and the method continues with sending a respectively mapped reference signal group identifier to each of the set of base stations. Embodiments of the invention also include methods to group base stations causing the interference.

A communication method and a communications apparatus are provided. The method includes: determining a first bandwidth part (BWP) and a second BWP; determining an association relationship between the first BWP and the second BWP; and recovering a link of a first downlink resource of the first BWP based on the association relationship and/or detecting a link failure of a second downlink resource of the second BWP based on the association relationship. The link of the first downlink resource of the first BWP can be accurately recovered based on the association relationship between the two BWPs, thereby ensuring communication reliability.
