Disclosed are a configuration information transmission method, a central unit (CU) and a distributed unit (DU), and a computer storage medium, for use in reducing system overheads. The configuration information transmission method: includes a CU of a radio access network (RAN) receives a first interface message from a DU of the RAN, wherein the first interface message carries first indication information, the first indication information is used for indicating at least one terminal device, and a bandwidth part (BWP) currently activated by the at least one terminal device is not configured with a common search space (CSS).

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For example, a first communication device may receive, from a second communication device, control signaling triggering a channel access procedure at the first communication device. In some case, the channel access procedure may be for accessing the shared radio frequency spectrum. The first communication device may then perform the channel access procedure based on the control signaling. In some examples, the first communication device may, based on the channel access procedure, transmit an indication of a channel occupancy initiated by the first communication device to the second communication device. The first communication device may relay communications between the second communication device and a third communication device during a channel occupancy time (COT) based on the transmitted indication of the channel occupancy initiated by the first communication device.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a bandwidth part (BWP) hopping configuration indicating a set of hops for a BWP of the UE. The UE may identify a radio link failure (RLF) during a time period configured by the set of hops. The UE may disable the BWP hopping configuration based at least in part on identifying the RLF. The UE may initiate a random access procedure on a BWP that is associated with the random access procedure. Numerous other aspects are described.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to autonomous sidelink communication in a shared radio frequency band (e.g., in a shared spectrum or an unlicensed spectrum) are provided. A first user equipment (UE) performs a listen-before-talk (LBT) in a shared radio frequency band during at least a portion of a first sidelink frame. The first UE determines a channel occupancy time (COT) in the shared radio frequency band based on the LBT. A beginning of the COT is within the first sidelink frame and offset from a boundary of the first sidelink frame. The COT includes one or more sidelink frames subsequent to the first sidelink frame. The first UE transmits, in the shared radio frequency band, a COT indication signal at the beginning of the COT within the first sidelink frame. The COT indication signal includes COT sharing information for UEs to share the one or more sidelink frames.

Many aspects pertaining to various apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable medium are described herein. Some aspects pertain to wireless communication between various apparatuses, which may include one or more access points (APs) and/or one or more stations (STAs). The one or more APs and/or one or more STAs may have one or more radios. Some aspects pertain to various features related to such one or more radios. Some aspects pertain to certain technologies related to uplink (UL) communication(s) and/or downlink (DL) communication(s). The written description and appended drawings provide detailed descriptions regarding these and many other aspects.

A network access point may control access by limiting time of access to users, and by granting additional access time in exchange for certain user behavior, such as viewing advertisements. Other rewards may be granted as well, such as changes to the user's network access quality, or access to restricted content.

A method is provided for enabling a User Equipment to access services provided by a radio access network by configuring the User Equipment (UE) with configuration information which comprises rules for selecting one or more of a plurality of access procedures to be used by the UE for accessing services provided by the radio access network which may be a New Radio/5G network. Access procedures may include a grant-based procedure; a grant-free procedure and a fallback procedure to be used in cases of failure of an initial access attempt. The rules may be based on the type of service required by the UE such as; transmission and/or reception of data, transmission and/or reception of a voice call, a request for System Information.

An instant message transmission method performed by a terminal may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to transmission of an instant message; if an instant message has been generated, determining whether or not the transmission of the instant message is allowed; and if the transmission of the instant message is allowed, transmitting the instant message by using a random access (RA) procedure or one or more pre-allocated uplink resources (PURs).

The present disclosure may provide a method of transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), small data in a wireless communication system. Here, a small data transmission method may include enabling a small data configuration in a UE; triggering, by the UE, a small data transmission; transmitting, by the UE, a common control channel (CCCH) and buffered data information to a base station in a random access channel (RACH) procedure; receiving a random access response (RAR) including an uplink (UL) grant from the base station based on the buffered data information; and transmitting the small data based on the UL grant.

The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The 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 performed by a user equipment (UE) comprises transmitting, to a base station, a random access preamble and capability information of the UE; receiving, from the base station, a random access response including time domain scheduling information being based on the capability information; and transmitting, to the base station, data based on the time domain scheduling information.
