This disclosure describes methods, devices, and systems for techniques related to random access procedures, such as a two-step random access procedure. Generally, the described techniques support physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) occasion (PO) aggregation in random access procedures, including aggregation configurations and communication schemes that support enhanced data transmissions, such as small data transmissions, in random access procedures. In some examples, the described techniques may include aggregating POs in a time domain, or a frequency domain, or both. A device, such as a user equipment (UE) may aggregate, in one or more of a time domain or a frequency domain, multiple POs of a set of POs, and transmit, to a device such as a base station, a random access payload of a random access message on a PUSCH using time and frequency resources of the aggregated multiple POs.

A method at a first device for enabling a device-to-device wireless link, the method detecting whether a presence signal of a second device is received over a first time period, the presence signal of the second device having a time-slot boundary; and if the presence signal of the second device is not detected, initiating a time-slot boundary by the first device including: transmitting a first presence signal of the first device in a selected time-slot; and checking for an acknowledgment to the first presence signal.

The present invention relates to a communication technique for combining IoT technology with 5G communication systems for supporting higher data transmission rates than 4G systems, and to a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied, on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology, to intelligent services such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail business, security- and safety-related services. The present invention relates to a method for configuring temporal ordering of uplinks in a wireless communication system, more specifically, in 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR).

The present disclosure provides a method for processing carrier activation at user equipment (UE) and a corresponding device. The method implemented at the user equipment comprises: acquiring an indication related to deactivation of a currently activated carrier, wherein the carrier is a carrier in a carrier group consisting of a plurality of carriers; and if a random access procedure is ongoing, then ignoring the indication.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) and a base station may use low latency communications to improve the throughput of a wireless link. To facilitate efficient low latency communication, the UE may send UE-initiated CSI reports in addition to periodic and base station-initiated reports. For example, the UE may, in various examples, send UE-initiated CSI reports using contention based spectrum, using a request-to-transmit, or using a CSI differential (i.e., an indicator of a change in channel conditions). The base station may schedule different UEs for uplink low latency communication by providing resources to each UE for CSI and scheduling requests (SRs) using coherent or non-coherent uplink transmissions. The CSI and SR may also be combined with uplink feedback.

Mobile devices, autonomous sensors and actuators, and myriad other IoT wireless devices demand low-complexity protocols in addition to 5G and 6G protocols. Disclosed are methods for devices to form spontaneous local sidelink networks without involvement of a base station. In a first aspect, a user device can broadcast a hailing message soliciting replies from all devices in range, each reply including the wireless address of the replying user device. In another aspect, each of the user devices in a sidelink network can periodically transmit a semaphore message indicating its wireless addresses, and a new arrival can join the sidelink network by appending its semaphore message to the others. After forming the sidelink network, the user devices can communicate among themselves unicast (addressed to a specific member of the sidelink network). Also disclosed are procedures for recovery from message collisions and transmission of emergency messages. Many other aspects are disclosed.

A wireless device transmits a first message comprising a preamble and a transport block. The wireless device receives, during a time window, a first downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a response to the first message. The first DCI indicates a first transmit power control (TPC) command value. A decoding failure of the response and an expiry of a timing alignment timer is determined. The wireless device receives, based on the determining and during the time window, a second DCI rescheduling the response. The second DCI indicates a second TPC command value. The wireless device selects, based on a decoding success of the response rescheduled by the second DCI, the second TPC command value as a transmit power adjustment value among the first TPC command value and the second TPC command value. The wireless device transmits a feedback using a transmit power determined based on the transmit power adjustment value.

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems and devices for use in a wireless terminal includes transmitting, to a wireless network node, a preamble comprising a plurality of parts, wherein each of the plurality of parts comprises at least one sub-preamble and the sub-preambles in the plurality of parts are generated based on a plurality of roots.

A wireless device (10) sends LBT (listen before talk) based uplink wireless transmissions on a serving transmission beam (22) to an access node (100-1, 100-2). The serving transmission beam (22) is selected from a plurality of transmission beams (21, 22, 23). Further, the wireless device (10) detects LBT failures on the serving transmission beam (22). Based on the number of the detected LBT failures on the serving transmission beam (22), the wireless device (10) sends a failure report to the access node (100-1, 100-2. The failure report indicates the detected LBT failures on the sewing transmission beam (22).

A communication processing method is performed by a user equipment (UE), the UE including at least a first antenna panel and a second antenna panel. The communication processing method includes: communicating with a serving cell by the first antenna panel, and communicating with a target cell by using the second antenna panel.
