A wireless communication device included in a wireless communication system together with a wireless network device includes: processing circuitry to measure traffic transferred between the wireless network device and a time sensitive network, the processing circuitry performing wireless communication with the wireless network device and wired communication with the time sensitive network; to estimate an estimated passage time of the traffic that has cyclicity among the traffic; to determine a log level by using a first log level, which is based on a difference between the estimated passage time of the traffic estimated and an actual passage time of the traffic measured, and a second log level acquired from the wireless network device; to collect log information at a collection frequency based on the log level; and to report the log information to the wireless network device at a reporting frequency based on the log level.

In one embodiment, an apparatus of a wireless communication device includes control circuitry to cause receiver circuitry of the wireless communication device to switch between an on-mode and an off-mode. The apparatus also includes synchronizing circuitry to: perform a correlation on signals of a packet received by the receiver circuitry when in the on-mode to detect a pattern in the received signals, and cause the control circuitry to hold the receiver circuitry in the on-mode based on detection of the pattern in the received signals. The apparatus further includes demodulation circuitry to process additional signals of the packet received by the receiver circuitry when held in the on-mode.

A method and a device for configuring a contention free random access resource are provided. The method includes: transmitting target resource indication information to a user equipment based on a pre-defined mapping relationship; where the target resource indication information is used to determine a physical random access channel transmission occasion (RO) resource, the target resource indication information includes at least one of a physical random access channel (PRACH) mask index or an RO resource index, and the pre-defined mapping relationship includes a correspondence between a value range of the target resource indication information and the RO resource.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a second UE, a system information block (SIB) that includes first timing information. The UE may transmit, to the second UE, second timing information associated with an update to the first timing information. Numerous other aspects are described.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for paging early indication (PEI) configuration and monitoring procedures. In particular, the present disclosure provides techniques for configuring a user equipment (UE) for PEI monitoring. A method that may be performed by a network entity generally includes transmitting, to the UE, a configuration for paging early indication (PEI) occasions for the UE to monitor and transmitting, in at least one of the PEI occasions, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with a PEI that indicates, for multiple paging occasions (POs), whether paging messages are scheduled for the UE in the multiple POs.

Spectrum and radio resources associated with a 5G radio unit (RU) of a host network are dynamically allocated amongst one or more guest networks. A provisioning plane receives inputs from a guest network operator that identifies desired times, locations and/or frequency bands for desired network coverage. The provisioning plane responsively identifies bandwidth allocations that meet the requested parameters for exclusive use by the guest network. User equipment (UE) associated with each guest network maintains time and frequency synchronization with the host network, but otherwise limits its communications to the frequency bands allocated to the guest network. By dynamically obtaining physical radio and spectrum resources from a host provider and by scaling backend network capabilities using cloud resources, guest networks for any number of different purposes can be quickly deployed or modified as desired.

Systems and method for using control information to control the relay of signaling between a base station and a user equipment (UE) using a smart repeater (SMR) and/or reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a first phase is used by the SMR with a first SS burst from a base station to identify a trained Rx beam to use with the base station, and a second phase receives a second SS burst from the base station and forwards it to a UE using a beam sweep such that the UE is enabled to provide feedback of one SSB of the second SS burst. In other embodiments, an SMR or an RIS is controlled to enable the use of an SS burst to perform a full check of all beam-wise routes between the base station and the UE, enabling feedback of a corresponding SSB selection by the UE.

An acceptable coverage limit of a base station is identified by retrieving a list of cells that are served by a first base station. Grids are generated from the first base station to a predetermined threshold distance. A plurality of selected grids is identified between an acceptable coverage limit and a threshold distance. An average reference signal is determined from the plurality of selected grids. An evaluation is made regarding whether the first base station is the dominant cell in each of the selected grids. The number of grids the selected grids where the first base station is the dominant cell site is determined based on a dominant carrier threshold. A column of grids is determined where the first base station is not the dominant cell site. An acceptable coverage limit of the cell is determined based on the distance from the first base station and the column of grids.

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives a target SSB from a base station. The UE obtains received data carried in a broadcast channel of the target SSB. The UE reconstructs, based on received data carried in a broadcast channel of a previously received SSB, transmitted data placed in the broadcast channel of the target SSB at the base station. The UE preforms a channel estimation and/or synchronization based on a comparison of the received data and the transmitted data of the target SSB.

An operation method of a first terminal may include: transmitting a plurality of sidelink-synchronization signal blocks (S-SSBs); performing a monitoring operation on a plurality of response resources associated with the plurality of S-SSBs; receiving a first response signal from a second terminal in a first response resource among the plurality of response resources; identifying a first S-SSB associated with the first response resource among the plurality of S-SSBs; and determining a first transmission beam through which the first S-SSB is transmitted among a plurality of transmission beams of the first terminal as an optimal transmission beam.
