A paging method, a terminal, and a network-side device are provided. The paging method includes: receiving pre-indication information transmitted by a network-side device; transmitting an uplink signal to the network-side device in a case that the pre-indication information indicates that the terminal is to be paged; and monitoring a paging of the terminal by the network-side device.

Configuring control information comprises determining a frequency offset including an RB and RE level frequency offset, where the frequency offset is determined based on a lowest RE of an SS/PBCH block and a lowest RE of CORESET for RMSI, jointly configuring, using a first field of 4 bits, the RB level frequency offset with a multiplexing pattern of the SS/PBCH block and the CORESET, a BW of the CORESET, and a number of symbols for the CORESET for a combination of a SCS of the SS/PBCH block and a SCS of the CORESET, configuring using a second field of the 4 bits generating an MIB including the RB level frequency offset and the RE level frequency offset; and transmitting, to a UE, the MIB over a PBCH.

This application provides a communications method, which includes: performing, by a network device, LBT on a first carrier, and determining a time offset when the LBT is completed, where the first carrier is used to send a first SS Burst Set, and the time offset is a time offset of an actual transmission time of the first SS Burst Set on the first carrier relative to a configured transmission time of the first SS Burst Set; sending, by the network device, the time offset to a terminal; and receiving, by the terminal, the time offset, and performing rate matching on the first carrier based on the time offset. Thus, the terminal may determine the actual transmission time of the first SS Burst Set based on the time offset, to perform the rate matching and accurately parse downlink data, thereby improving reliability of a communications system.

Provided are a method and device for performing wireless communication in an unlicensed band. The method, for performing wireless communication in an unlicensed band by a terminal, may include: receiving configuration information relating to a synchronization signal block (SSB) burst set in an unlicensed band; receiving transmission interval information in which an SSB is transmitted in the SSB burst set on the basis of a listen-before-talk (LBT) result with respect to the unlicensed band; and detecting the SSB in the SSB burst set on the basis of the transmission interval information.

Dynamic User Equipment (UE) beam switching for millimeter wave (mmWave) measurements in asynchronous networks is discussed in which a UE configured with a plurality of UE beams receives timing information of detected cells in an asynchronous network, and calculates, based on the timing information, a maximum offset for the detected cells indicating a timing difference between a pair of cells of the detected cells that is larger than a timing difference between any other pair of the detected cells. A UE beam switch from a UE beam to another UE beam of the plurality of beams is scheduled based on the maximum offset, which includes using the maximum offset to determine how often the UE beam switch can be performed. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Systems, methods, and devices related to an EHT multi-AP group are described. The coordinated APs of the EHT group are synchronized to the coordinator AP using a periodic or non-periodic frame. Each coordinated AP then synchronizes STAs associated with the coordinated AP. In response to an MPDU, either triggered by a trigger frame from the coordinator AP or initiated by the STA, an ACK frame or NDP response is sent by each AP receiving the MPDU. The response to the MPDU is dependent on whether frame aggregation is used, as well as whether the trigger frame triggers transmission of MPDUs from multiple STAs.

The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system or a 6th-Generation (6G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system. A method of communicating with a user equipment by using a frequency resource of a second mobile communication provider in a mobile communication system, the method being performed by a first base station of a first mobile communication provider is provided. The method includes requesting to permit the first base station to use a second frequency resource of the second mobile communication provider, transmitting, to the user equipment, setting information, for establishing communication using the second frequency resource of the second mobile communication provider, through a first frequency resource of the first mobile communication provider, and communicating with the user equipment through the second frequency resource, based on the setting information.

A method, performed by a network entity, of performing time sensitive communication (TSC) includes: establishing a first protocol data unit (PDU) session with a first user equipment (UE) and a second PDU session for a second UE; receiving, from the first UE, an announce message obtained from a first time sensitive network (TSN) node; configuring, based on the announce message, a port state of the network entity; and transmitting, to the second UE or a second TSN node, the announce message.

Some aspects described herein relate to receiving, in a configuration, a slot format indication, wherein the slot format indication includes directional information indicating spatial directions associated with communications based on the slot format, determining, for a slot indicated by the slot format indication and based on the directional information, the spatial direction, and communicating, within the slot and based on the spatial direction, with one or more nodes.

According to examples, NR and LTE signal concurrent testing may include ascertaining LTE synchronization data associated with an LTE signal, and ascertaining NR synchronization data associated with an NR signal. The NR and LTE signal concurrent testing may further include performing, for the LTE synchronization data, LTE analysis, and performing, for the NR synchronization data, NR analysis. Based on the LTE analysis and the NR analysis, a mufti-path profile of the LTE signal and the NR signal may be determined.
