Techniques for indicating system information block or paging waveforms for future communications may include a user equipment (UE) configured to identify a waveform configuration of a downlink (DL) signal including system information to be received from a base station during a random access channel (RACH) procedure in response to an indication of the waveform configuration of the DL signal. The UE may also be configured to receive, from the base station, the system information in response to the waveform configuration of the DL signal being identified.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for repeater configuration for initial access. An apparatus includes a transceiver that that receives an initial setup configuration from a base station of a mobile wireless communication network for establishing a forwarding link with a user equipment (“UE”) device, receives an initial access configuration from the base station, the initial access configuration comprising one or more configuration parameters that allow the UE to establish access to the mobile wireless communication network, and transmits feedback to the base station that indicates reception of one or more of the initial setup configuration and the initial access configuration.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for a user equipment (UE), which may include a reduced capability (RedCap) UE, and a supporting cell. The UE may receive a synchronization signal block (SSB). The UE may receive a configuration of an active downlink bandwidth part (BWP) that is not configured with a SSB. The UE may tune, from the active downlink BWP to a different frequency for a layer 1 (L1) measurement gap defined by a L1 measurement gap configuration. The UE may perform a L1 measurement of the SSB on the different frequency during the L1 measurement gap. The UE may be a RedCap UE, the active BWP may be for RedCap UEs, and the SSB may define an initial BWP for the RedCap UEs and non-RedCap UEs, and the different frequency may be the initial BWP.

Systems and methods for determining a location of one or more user equipment (UE) in a wireless system can comprise receiving reference signals via a location management unit having two or more co-located channels, wherein the two or more co-located channels are tightly synchronized with each other and utilizing the received reference signals to calculate a location of at least one UE among the one or more UE. Embodiments include multichannel synchronization with a standard deviation of less than or equal 10 ns. Embodiments can include two LMUs, with each LMU having internal synchronization, or one LMU with tightly synchronized signals.

A network measurement device includes a setting control unit that sets, for example, a single GNSS as a transmission source of a signal of a multi-band, a multi-band abnormality detection unit that detects a multi-band reception abnormality based on an existing GNSS antenna receiving a signal in the multi-band transmitted from the GNSS, which is the transmission source, and reception signal information obtained by reception processing in a state in which the network measurement device is connected to the apparatus of a moving destination, for example, a boundary clock, and the existing GNSS antenna is connected to an antenna input terminal, for example, and an alert notification control unit that notifies a user of an alert notification that a multi-band reception abnormality occurs when a multi-band reception abnormality is detected.

Adaptive pairing of an access point (AP) slice with other computing resource slices is disclosed. Pairing of an AP slice can comprise pairing to a radio access network (RAN) slice and/or to a network core component (core) slice. The pairing can be based on end point device information, AP environment information, user preference information, and state information for a RAN and/or CN slice. Coordinating or synchronization of AP, RAN, and/or core slices can enable streamlining of migration of a device from an AP component to a RAN component. Moreover, AP slice coordination can enable efficient use of network computing resources tailored to needs of devices connecting to an AP device. A determined pairing, e.g., AP-core, AP-RAN-core, RAN-core, etc., can be modified before provisioning or after provisioning in response to changes in device demands and/or AP state/environment.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for uplink (UL) timing advance (TA) adjustment at beam switch are provided. A method may include, when it is determined that beam change or transmission configuration indication (TCI) state switch should occur for beam(s) originating from non-collocated source nodes, enabling assistance information relating to time difference for a UE. The method may include preparing timing adjustment prediction model(s) configured to predict a timing advance adjustment (TAA) or actual TA that should be applied by the UE at the beam change, using the at least one prepared timing adjustment prediction model to determine the TAA or the actual TA that should be applied by the UE at the beam change. The method may include signaling or assigning the TAA or the actual TA to the UE, or using the TAA to adjust for a UE autonomously adjusted TA value at the beam change.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuitry for Bluetooth low energy (BLE), and a processor. The processor is configured to obtain a connected isochronous group (CIG) event including a first connected isochronous stream (CIS) event that includes first sub-events and a second CIS event that includes second sub-events that at least partially overlap at least part of the first sub-events, and transmit, based on receiving an acknowledgement (ACK) signal for first data transmitted to a first external electronic device via a first sub-event among the first sub-events, second data to a second external electronic device via a third sub-event among the second sub-events, wherein the third sub-event overlaps a second sub-event immediately after the first sub-event among the first sub-events.

Various embodiments provide a communication method and a communications apparatus. In those embodiments, a terminal device receives first indication information and second indication information from a network device. The first indication information indicates a position of a first reference point, the second indication information indicates a first quantity, the first quantity is a quantity of offset units between the first reference point and a second reference point, and the second reference point is an endpoint of a first physical resource block (PRB). The terminal device determines a position of the first PRB based on the first indication information, the second indication information, and an identifier of a subcarrier corresponding to the first reference point. Therefore, the terminal device can complete, without learning of a system bandwidth, a process of determining a PRB corresponding to a start point of a PRB number in the system bandwidth.
