At least some of the APs are initially substantially unsynchronized in time. The method includes transmitting, by the STA, a beacon request signal via an uplink channel, performing, by the APs and in response to the beacon request signal, a synchronization procedure, the synchronization procedure comprising transmitting, by each of the APs, a respective beacon signal via at least one downlink channel, such that the beacon signals from the plurality of APs are substantially synchronized in time, receiving, by the STA, the beacon signals from the plurality of APs, selecting, by the STA, one of the plurality of APs in dependence on at least one property of the beacon signals, and associating the STA with the selected one of plurality of APs. Related systems and devices are described.

In order to appropriately control a TCI state for a CORESET in a beam recovery procedure for future radio communication systems, one aspect of a user terminal of the present disclosure includes a transmitting unit that transmits a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ), and a control unit that makes an assumption on a transmission configuration indicator state (TCI state) corresponding to a beam for which the beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) has been transmitted, as a CORESET TCI state related to a control resource set (CORESET) for beam failure recovery (BFR).

Aspects of the disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless node may identify a first set of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), within a synchronization signal (SS) burst set, that are used to indicate random access channel (RACH) occasions for a first wireless link type, the SS burst set including a second set of SSBs used to indicate RACH occasions for a second wireless link type; and transmit a RACH message in a RACH occasion corresponding to an SSB included in the first set of SSBs. In some aspects, a wireless node may configure an SS burst set to include a first set of SSBs to be used to indicate RACH occasions for a first wireless link type, and a second set of SSBs to be used to indicate RACH occasions for a second wireless link type; and transmit the SS burst set. Other aspects are provided.

Techniques are described herein for beam pair link procedures used in dual connectivity operations. A master base station may be configured to determine a timing window for a user equipment (UE) to monitor a downlink channel associated with a secondary base station. In some cases, the master base station may determine the timing window during a dual connectivity procedure or during a carrier aggregation procedure. The UE may monitor the downlink channel during the timing window and establish a beam pair link with the secondary base station based on the monitoring.

A wireless communications method and device are provided. The method and device lower bit overheads and reduce the complexity of terminal processing in the sending of a synchronization signal (SS) block. The method includes determining that a first indication field in a physical broadcasting channel (PBCH) included in a first SS block is used to indicate a physical resource block (PRB) grid offset between channels or signals of an SS block and a non-SS block or indicate resource information of a second SS block. The method further includes sending the first SS block, wherein when it is determined that the first indication field is used to indicate the resource information of the second SS block, the first indication field in the first SS block indicates the resource information of the second SS block.

Implementations of the present disclosure provide a signal transmission method, a network device, and a terminal device. The method comprises: a network device detecting a first carrier, and determining, according to the detection result, a time-frequency resource granted a channel license from M1 time-frequency resources, wherein the M1 time-frequency resources are time-frequency resources that the network device configures for a first period on the first carrier and are available to transmit a first synchronization signal/PBCH block (SSB, or SS/PBCH block), wherein M1 is a positive integer, and M1≥2; and the network device transmitting the first SSB to a terminal device via the first time-frequency resource.

This disclosure discloses an information indication method, a terminal device, and a network device. The method includes determining a transmission feature parameter, where the transmission feature parameter is used to send a physical channel on a sidelink (SL), and the transmission feature parameter includes at least one of a subcarrier spacing (SCS), a cyclic prefix (CP), a bandwidth part (BWP), or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configuration parameter; and sending transmission feature information, where the transmission feature information is used to indicate the transmission feature parameter.

Disclosed are techniques for using a channel state information (CSI) report framework to support positioning measurements in a wireless network. More particularly, a base station may identify one or more reference signal resources to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) for obtaining at least one positioning measurement and configure the reference signal resources to be transmitted at least partially outside a current bandwidth that the base station and the UE are using to communicate data and control information. Accordingly, the base station may transmit, to the UE, a CSI report setting that indicates the positioning measurement to be reported and specifies that the positioning measurement is to be obtained from the configured reference signal resources.
