Correspondingly, a communications apparatus is further provided. According to the embodiments of this application, the terminal device can obtain, based on requirements of different application scenarios, a time type and/or time precision preferred by the terminal device.

Provided is a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission method performed by a communication device in a wireless communication system. The method is characterized in that: a time duration of a fixed frame period (FFP) is set for another communication device; and the SSB is periodically transmitted to the other communication device, wherein the SSB is periodically transmitted on each Nth FFP, said N being an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the transmission start time of the SSB is the first time resource included in each Nth FFP.

In order to appropriately control receiving operation in a UE even when a synchronization signal block and a given reference signal overlap with each other in a time resource, a user terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a receiving section that receives a synchronization signal block and a given reference signal; and a control section that, when the synchronization signal block and the given reference signal are configured in the same time resource, controls reception of the synchronization signal block and the given reference signal based on a quasi-colocation (QCL) relationship and a subcarrier spacing of the synchronization signal block and the given reference signal.

A host system maintains a plurality of user accounts each including offboard electronic device information and agricultural machine information specific to a user. The host system receives requests for user access, determines whether the source of the request is an offboard electronic device or an onboard computing system of an agricultural machine, determines whether the user has access rights to the device or system, and identifies any apps authorized for use by the user and the device or system. The host system synchronizes application data and settings between the device or system and the user's account so that when the user runs related apps from any device or machine the app data and the settings will be reflected. When a user purchases an application for a device or machine the same or related applications automatically become available on other devices or systems that are managed by the host system.

A synchronization signal block information processing method includes: obtaining, by a terminal device, identifiers of multiple SS/PBCH blocks (SSBs), wherein the identifier of the SSB is determined in accordance with demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequences of physical broadcast channels (PBCHs), and the identifier of the SSB is used for indicating a transmission position of the SSB within a set period of time; obtaining, by the terminal device, first indication information, wherein the first indication information is used for indicating a first quantity, and the first quantity is no more than a number of the SSBs sent by a network device within the set period of time; and determining, by the terminal device, a first SSB in the multiple SSBs and a second SSB in the multiple SSBs are quasi-co-located (QCL) in accordance with an identifier of the first SSB, an identifier of the second SSB and the first indication information.

Techniques that provide link establishment between a radio equipment controller (REC) and a radio equipment (RE) in a fronthaul network are described herein. In one embodiment, a method includes performing, Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) Layer 1 (L1) link auto-negotiation operations to establish a CPRI link between the REC and RE. A proxy slave may achieve a hyper frame number (HFN) synchronization with the REC at a link bit rate for a first CPRI bit stream and communicate the first CPRI bit stream and the link bit rate to a proxy master. The proxy master may communicate a second CPRI bit stream to the proxy slave to transmit to the REC. The L1 link auto-negotiation operations are completed and CPRI link is established between the REC and the RE when the REC achieves a HFN synchronization for the second CPRI bit stream.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Different periodicities may be dynamically selected when monitoring and transmitting signaling used for link management, where respective periodicities may be based on the quality of the link between devices. For instance, a first wireless device may use a first monitoring periodicity to monitor for signals transmitted from another wireless device. Upon determining that a link condition has changed (e.g., decreased or reached a threshold), the first wireless device may decrease its monitoring periodicity (and increase monitoring frequency) to detect signals transmitted by the other wireless device more frequently. In such cases, the other wireless device may likewise transmit its measurement signals more often (e.g., in accordance with a second periodicity) based on the link quality. The adjusted monitoring and transmission periodicities may provide additional occasions for the wireless device to detect signals from another device.

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for resolving aliasing ambiguities produced when using channel state information reference signal, a sounding reference signal (SRS) or other transmission as a positioning reference signal (PRS) occupying a subset of tones of a PRS bandwidth. The aliasing ambiguity results in a plurality of different possible positioning measurements, such as time of arrival (TOA), reference signal timing difference (RSTD), or reception to transmission difference (Rx−Tx). The aliasing ambiguity may be resolved using a previous position estimate that may be used to produce an approximation of the expected positioning measurement. A position estimate may be generated using a multiple stage PRS configuration, in which one or more stages provide a coarse position estimate that has no ambiguity, which can be used to resolve the ambiguity of a more accurate position estimate resulting from the PRS signal.
