Procedures for using a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state in wireless communications are described. A base station may send one or more configuration parameters indicating a plurality of cells to be updated with a same TCI state. A wireless device may perform, via the plurality of cells and using one or more parameters associated with the TCI state, at least one of transmission or reception.

A method performed by a BS for configuring CSI reporting is provided. The method includes transmitting a CSI reporting configuration to a UE on a first BWP; transmitting a first BWP switch indication to the UE on the first BWP, the first BWP switch indication being used to request the UE to switch to a second BWP; transmitting a second BWP switch indication to the UE after the UE switches from the first BWP to the second BWP, the second BWP switch indication being used to request the UE to switch back to the first BWP; and receiving a CSI report from the UE based on the CSI reporting configuration, without providing any CSI reporting activation command to the UE after the UE switches back to the first BWP according to the second BWP switch indication. A BS using the same is also provided.

The present application provides a congestion processing method and device. The method includes: an access network device receives a first message transmitted by a source core network device, where the first message is used for indicating that the source core network device is overloaded; and the access network device, according to the first message, performs an operation of migrating the terminal device from the source core network device to a target core network device, where the target core network device and the source core network device support different communication systems. The congestion processing method according to the present application can solve the congestion problem of a core network device, realize load balancing between core network devices, and thereby improving user experience.

A method for LBT failure detection performed by a UE is provided. The method includes: receiving, by a MAC entity of the UE, an LBT failure indication from a lower layer for all UL transmissions; increasing an LBT failure counter when the MAC entity receives the LBT failure indication; determining an LBT failure event occurs when the LBT failure counter is greater than or equal to a threshold; and resetting the LBT failure counter after the MAC entity has not received the LBT failure indication for a time period.

A method of processing beam failure recovery and a UE are provided. The method includes: controlling a behavior of monitoring a target beam by the UE and/or a behavior of monitoring a RLM process by the UE in the case that a preset condition for beam failure recovery is met; declaring a RLF or receiving data through the target beam.

Systems and methods for managing interference in a communication network include transmitting a first downlink signal from a first transmit/receive point (TRP) to an electronic device using a beam. The electronic device can also receive a second downlink signal from a second TRP, where a portion of the first downlink signal from the first TRP interferes with the second downlink signal. The first TRP then receives a series of uplink pilot signals from the electronic device. Using the received uplink pilot signals, the first TRP can then estimate the angle of departure (AoD) for the intended signal (first downlink signal), and the AoD for the interference signal. The first TRP can then reconfigure the beam used to transmit the first downlink signal based on the estimated AoDs for the intended signal and interference signal to manage the interference effect that the first leakage signal has on the second downlink signal.

A method for adjusting a bandwidth of a carrier signal providing access to a cellular radio network through a High Altitude Platform, HAP, the carrier signal being transmitted within a predetermined frequency spectrum channel, the HAP transmitting a first carrier signal of a first bandwidth in a first part of the predetermined frequency spectrum allocation, the method comprising: configuring transmission of a second carrier signal of a second bandwidth in a second part of the predetermined frequency spectrum allocation, the second bandwidth being different to the first bandwidth; and configuring handover of traffic from the first carrier signal to the second carrier signal.

Apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for beam management in multi-TRP scenarios are disclosed. An exemplary method generally includes receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration from at least one base station (BS) for one or more transmission hypotheses, wherein the CSI-RS resource configuration includes CSI-RS resources corresponding to at least a first downlink (DL) demodulation reference signal (DMRS)-port-group and a second DL DMRS-port-group, performing one or more CSI-RS measurements for the one or more transmission hypotheses based, at least in part on the CSI-RS resource configuration, and determining, for each of the one or more transmission hypotheses, a preferred reception beam for communicating with the at least one BS based, at least in part, on the one or more CSI-RS measurements.
