[Solution] A SW 3 used in the time transmission system in which a master node 1 and a slave node 2 performs transmission and reception of a PTP packet via the SW 3 and the time of the master node 1 is synchronized based on time information of the transmission and reception includes a delay calculator 32 that measures an intra-device delay between input and output of the PTP packet to and from the SW 3, and a delay information writing unit 33 that appends the intra-device delay measured by the delay calculator 32 to a packet subsequent to the PTP packet, and outputs the appended packet to an output destination of the PTP packet.

For example, an apparatus configured to cause a first Wake-Up Radio (WUR) wireless communication station (STA) to exchange a request frame and a response frame with a second WUR STA to set up a plurality of WUR parameters of a WUR mode at which the first WUR STA is to transmit one or more WUR wake-up frames configured for reception by a Wake-Up Receiver (WURx) of the second WUR STA, wherein the request frame is from the second WUR STA to the first WUR STA, and the response frame is from the first WUR STA to the second WUR STA in response to the request frame; to transmit an unsolicited update frame to the second WUR STA to update one or more WUR parameters of the plurality of WUR parameters; and to receive an Acknowledgement (Ack) frame from the second WUR STA to acknowledge the unsolicited update frame.

Aspects described herein relate to communicating a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) corresponding to a downlink control channel, buffering, based on receiving the DMRS, samples of a downlink data channel associated with the downlink control channel, and processing, during on a time period indicated based at least in part on a sequence of the DMRS, at least a portion of the samples of the downlink data channel. Another aspect relates to determining, based at least in part on a sequence of the DMRS, a time offset from the downlink control channel to a downlink data channel, and determining, based at least in part on the time offset, a time period based on which to transmit or start processing samples of the downlink data channel.

Apparatus and methods are provided for interruption handling for V2X communication. In one novel aspect, the UE detects an interruption event on the first SL and performs interruption procedure allowing stopping transmission and reception on one or more links of the UE based on the interruption event. In one embodiment, the UE supports both the LTE V2X sidelink and the NR V2X sidelink. The UE performs interruption procedure allowing both the LTE V2X sidelink and the NR V2X sidelink to stop transmission or reception for a preconfigured period. In one embodiment, the interruption event is the UE switching the SL between the LTE V2X sidelink and NR V2X sidelink. Upon detecting the SL switching interruption event, the UE performs the interruption procedure on the Uu link of the UE for a preconfigured period. In one embodiment, the preconfigured period is based on a slot configuration of the first SL.

In an aspect, a communications node selects a reference device for a positioning procedure based on hardware group capabilities associated with reference devices involved in the positioning procedure (e.g., RTT, differential RTT, double differential RTT, TDOA, etc.). In another aspect, a distance between reference devices is estimated based on timing measurements of reference signal(s) for positioning. A hardware group delay associated with the reference devices is estimated based on (i) the estimated distance between the first and second reference devices, and (ii) a known distance between the first and second reference devices.

A method for providing IQ mismatch (IQMM) compensation includes: estimating an overall frequency response of a compensation filter by stepping through a frequency range starting at an initial frequency and performing (1) through (3) at each step, a selected frequency at each step being a multiple of a subcarrier frequency of the initial frequency: (1) sending a single tone signal at the selected frequency, (2) determining a first response of a mismatched signal at the selected frequency and a second response of the mismatched signal at an image frequency of the selected frequency, and (3) estimating a frequency response of the compensation filter at the selected frequency based on the first response and the second response; generating time-domain filter taps based on the estimated overall frequency response of the compensation filter; determining a time delay based on the time-domain filter taps; and generating a compensated signal based on the time delay.
