The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services.

A method of wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) includes detecting, in response to a bandwidth part (BWP) switch, a first BWP of a first carrier aggregation signal and a second BWP of a second carrier aggregation signal. The first BWP of the first carrier aggregation signal and the second BWP of the second carrier aggregation signal are each within a predetermined frequency range of each other. The method also includes tuning a radio frequency (RF) channel to a center of a wideband channel including the first BWP and the second BWP. The method further includes processing the wideband channel including both the first BWP of the first carrier aggregation signal and the second BWP of the second carrier aggregation signal with a single phase locked loop (PLL).

Aspects relate to mechanisms for a wireless communication device to configure and indicate one or more beams for sidelink communication with another wireless communication device. The sidelink communication can include first stage sidelink control information (SCI) and second stage SCI that may be communicated on a first beam configured on the wireless communication devices. The sidelink communication can further include sidelink data traffic that may be communication on a second beam. The second beam may be the first beam or a different beam based on at least one of a beam capability of at least the first wireless communication device or a gap between the sidelink data traffic and at least one of the first stage SCI or the second stage SCI.

The present invention includes a receiver configured to receive first information, the first information including information for configuring whether transform precoding for a physical uplink shared channel is enabled, and a transmitter configured to transmit information indicating a first power headroom level for the physical uplink shared channel with the transform precoding enabled and information indicating a second power headroom level for the physical uplink shared channel with the transform precoding not enabled.

This application provides a resource mapping method, a network device, and a terminal device. The method includes: generating, by a network device, control information, where the control information is used to indicate at least one type of the following information: at least one bandwidth region in which at least one frequency domain resource unit is located, a granularity of the frequency domain resource unit, and a location of the frequency domain resource unit in the bandwidth region; and sending, by the network device, the control information to a terminal device. The frequency domain resource unit is a scheduling unit of a frequency domain resource used when the network device and the terminal device transmit a data channel. The granularity of the resource unit corresponds to a granularity of a resource unit used when the network device and the terminal device transmit a control channel.

A user equipment that includes a radio transceiver that performs wireless communication in an unlicensed band, and circuitry that performs RLM using downlink physical signals, measures a radio link quality, evaluates the radio link quality against thresholds Qout and Qin, indicates out-of-sync to higher layers from a physical layer, indicates in-sync to the higher layers from the physical layer, starts a first timer when the out-of-sync is consecutively indicated to the higher layers from the physical layer, and determines that a radio link failure occurs in a case where the first timer expires without consecutive in-sync indications, and the first timer is different from a second timer used to determine whether a radio link failure occurs in a wireless communication in one or more serving cells in a licensed band.

A method for transmitting control information includes: when a condition of sending the control information is met, interleaving common control information of each user equipment (UE) working on a target bandwidth part (BWP) and interleaving specific control information of each UE; and sending the interleaved common control information by means of a first time-frequency resource, and sending the interleaved specific control information by means of a second time-frequency resource.

Methods and devices for configuring and monitoring a search space of a PDCCH are provided. The specific solution includes: transmitting PDCCH configuration information to a UE, where the PDCCH configuration information is for indicating at least one search space of a PDCCH of the UE, and the search space is any one of the following types: a common search space; a group common search space, or a UE specific search space.
