Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving a signal including cell information in a communication system. An operation method of a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving a first SS/PBCH block from a base station; receiving a second SS/PBCH block from the base station after receiving the first SS/PBCH block; and confirming information included in the first SS/PBCH block and the second SS/PBCH block by performing a combining operation on the first SS/PBCH block and the second SS/PBCH block when a transmission beam of the first SS/PBCH block is the same as a transmission beam of the second SS/PBCH block. Therefore, the performance of a communication system can be improved.

A wireless device may receive, from a base station, a timing offset indicator indicating an offset between a sidelink feedback resource and an uplink feedback resource. The wireless device may determine a second slot based on the timing offset indicator and a first slot for a sidelink feedback of a sidelink transport block transmitted by the wireless device. The wireless device may transmit, to the base station and via the uplink feedback resource in the second slot, a sidelink feedback report based on the sidelink feedback.

In an example method, a user equipment (UE) device determines an offset length of time associated with transmitting or receiving data over a wireless network. The UE device transmits an indication of the offset length of time to the wireless network. The UE device transmits or receives, during a first time interval, a first portion of data to or from the wireless network though a first wireless link. The UE device transmits or receives, during a second time interval, a second portion of data to or from the wireless network though a second wireless link. An end of first time interval is offset from a beginning of the second time interval by the offset length of time.

A WTRU may receive downlink control information (DCI) indicating a start of a frame. The DCI may be received on a control channel, such as the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) from an eNB, base station, AP, or other infrastructure equipment operating in a wireless communications system. The WTRU may decode the DCI and may determine a transmit time interval (TTI) duration, which may be expressed in terms of an integer number of basic time intervals (BTIs). The WTRU may determine a downlink (DL) transmission portion and assignment and an uplink (UL) transmission portion and UL grant based on the received DCI. Additionally, the WTRU may determine the start of the UL portion based on an offset (t.sub.offset). The WTRU may receive data in a DL portion of the frame and may transmit in an UL portion of the frame based on the determined UL grant and TTI duration.

The present disclosure provides a method for receiving an uplink signal by an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in a wireless communication system. In particular, the method comprises: obtaining timing information related to an uplink reception timing reference for a distributed unit (DU) of the IAB node; receiving a first uplink signal by the DU of the IAB node on the basis of the timing information; and receiving a downlink signal by a mobile-termination (MT) of the IAB node on the basis of the timing information, or transmitting a second uplink signal, wherein the reception of the first uplink signal by the DU of the IAB node and the reception of the downlink signal by the MT of the IAB node or the transmission of the second uplink signal are performed in the same time resource.

In one aspect of the teachings herein, a transmitter transmits synchronization signals according to one or more defined transmission characteristics that enable a receiver to distinguish the type of transmitter and/or the type of carrier used to convey the synchronization signals. Different types of transmitters reuse at least some of the same synchronization signal sequences and generation algorithms, but use different transmission parameters to impart one or more recognizable characteristics to the transmitted synchronization signals. In turn, an appropriately configured receiver “knows” which characteristics are associated with which transmitter and/or carrier types. For example, wireless devices operating in a wireless communication network transmit device-generated synchronization signals that reuse at least some of the same sequences used by network base stations for the transmission of network synchronization signals. However, device-generated synchronization signals are transmitted using a relative positioning or mapping that characteristically differs from that used for network synchronization signals.

A method for a transmission and reception point (TRP) for controlling cross-link interference comprises the steps of: determining a timing advance (TA) value, for measuring or eliminating cross-link interference, in a set subframe if a section in which cross-link interferences occur between the TRP and one or more adjacent TRPs is configured; and transmitting the determined TA value in the set subframe to a terminal, wherein the section in which cross-link interference occurs can correspond to a section that is configured as an uplink section for the TRP, and as a downlink transmission section for the one or more adjacent TRPs.

Technologies for managing internal time synchronization include an internet-of-things (IoT) device configured to determine a transport delay value as a function of a transmit path delay corresponding to a first message transmitted from an I/O device of the IoT device to a central timer of the IoT device and a receive path delay corresponding to a second message transmitted from the central timer to the I/O device. The IoT device is further configured to update, in response to having received a broadcast message from the central timer subsequent to having determined the transport delay value, a timestamp value of the received broadcast message as a function of the transport delay value. Other embodiments are described herein.

A WTRU may receive downlink control information (DCI) indicating a start of a frame. The DCI may be received on a control channel, such as the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) from an eNB, base station, AP, or other infrastructure equipment operating in a wireless communications system. The WTRU may decode the DCI and may determine a transmit time interval (TTI) duration, which may be expressed in terms of an integer number of basic time intervals (BTIs). The WTRU may determine a downlink (DL) transmission portion and assignment and an uplink (UL) transmission portion and UL grant based on the received DCI. Additionally, the WTRU may determine the start of the UL portion based on an offset (t.sub.offset). The WTRU may receive data in a DL portion of the frame and may transmit in an UL portion of the frame based on the determined UL grant and TTI duration.

A terminal apparatus receives a parameter that is configured by a network apparatus and that is used to calculate an update period, where the update period is used to indicate time at which the terminal apparatus receives an uplink time-frequency synchronization parameter. The terminal apparatus receives an updated uplink time-frequency synchronization parameter based on the update period. The network apparatus configures the parameter for calculating the update period, so that the terminal apparatus can update the uplink time-frequency synchronization parameter in time.
