In a communications system including a base station capable of altering a frequency bandwidth which is used for transmitting broadcast data for providing point-to-multipoint broadcasting communications service and which is used for transmitting individual communications data for providing point-to-point individual communications service, and a mobile terminal capable of altering a receivable bandwidth which is used for receiving at least the broadcast data and the individual communications data transmitted from the base station, decision processing of making a decision as to whether the mobile terminal can receive reception-desired content it desires to receive among contents provided by the broadcasting communications service is executed in accordance with a frequency occupying bandwidth used for transmitting the reception-desired content. Thus, the mobile terminal becomes able to make a decision as to whether it can receive particular E-MBMS content considering its own UE position.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an operation method of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system may be provided. The operation method may include identifying whether an active bandwidth part (BWP) is the same as a BWP for a multicast and broadcast service (MBS) selected by the UE, transmitting, to a base station, a message including information about the MBS when the active BWP is different from the BWP for the MBS, receiving, from the base station, based on the message, information for providing a service based on the MBS, and receiving the MBS, based on the information for providing the service based on the MBS.

A wireless device receives receive, from a base station, radio resource control messages comprising configuration parameters of a first semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) for multicast and broadcast services (MBS), wherein the configuration parameters of the first SPS comprise a first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK) codebook index. The wireless device receives a multicast transport block (TB) based on receiving a group common downlink control information (DCI) indicating an activation of the first SPS. The wireless device transmits first feedback for the multicast TB in a first HARQ-ACK codebook, of HARQ-ACK codebooks, indicated by the first HARQ-ACK codebook index.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication, and more specifically to advertising discovery information, relaying discovery information, and to the secure relay of discovery information in wireless networks. Various frame structures are provided for such transmitting and relaying of discovery information. According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, security is provided for relaying discovery information. According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, compensation may be provided to a device that relays discovery information (e.g., when the relaying results in a transaction).

An exemplary embodiment describes a wireless communication method to selectively operate, based on an inconsistency condition, a transmitting end in one of a first mode and a second mode. When inconsistency is absent, the transmitting end can transmit in the first mode in which the transmitting end schedules transmission resources for interference assessment on a same time unit as data or control transmissions. Upon detection of inconsistency, the transmitting end can transmit in the second mode in which the transmission resources for determining interference are scheduled to occupy different time units than data or control transmissions.

A device of a New Radio (NR) User Equipment (UE), a method and a machine readable medium to implement the method. The device includes a Radio Frequency (RF) interface, and processing circuitry coupled to the RF interface, the processing circuitry to: encode for transmission, to a User Equipment (UE), a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) including a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) and a channel estimation signal that is time division multiplexed with the PBCH, the channel estimation signal to allow the UE to estimate a channel for the PBCH and including one of a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) or a Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PT-RS); and apply Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) to the PBCH prior to sending the SSB to the RF interface for transmission.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive signaling that configures a downlink bandwidth for a broadcast channel transmission (e.g., a physical downlink control channel transmission). The UE may determine a bandwidth of the capability is less than the downlink bandwidth, and monitor search space occasions in a period to receive samples of the broadcast channel. The period and the search space occasions may be associated with a control resource set and a search space set. The UE may receive the samples in non-overlapping subbands of the bandwidth according to the bandwidth capability, and detect the broadcast channel based on the samples. The UE may additionally monitor repeated transmission occasions in the period based on detecting the broadcast channel to detect a second broadcast channel (e.g., a physical downlink shared channel).
