A method and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) are disclosed. The WTRU comprises a receiver, a transmitter, and a processor. The WTRU receives a system information block (SIB) including a parameter indicating a number of transmissions for a random access message and a parameter indicating transmission duration information for the random access message. The WTRU transmits a random access preamble and a random access message, wherein the random access message is transmitted for a duration indicated by the parameter indicating transmission duration information for the random access message. The WTRU retransmits the random access message, wherein the random access message is retransmitted a number of times indicated by the parameter indicating the number of transmissions for the random access message and for the duration indicated by the parameter indicating transmission duration information for the random access message.

A wireless device in an unlicensed band receives from a base station a request signal requesting initiation of downlink (DL) transmission. If carrier sensing (CS) is performed and a wireless medium idles, the wireless device transmits to the base station a response signal accepting the initiation of the DL transmission. The CS is performed with respect to a receive (RX) beam direction obtained from the request signal.

The present specification proposes a technical feature related to a wake-up radio (WUR) STA. Specifically, proposed is an operation of updating a parameter related to an operation of a WUR mode. For example, the WUR STA may update a parameter related to the WUR mode by receiving an unsolicited frame from an AP while maintaining the WUR mode. The received frame may have a preset action type.

This application discloses a communication method and apparatus. A terminal device determines a frequency position of a random access resource based on at least one of an initial frequency offset, a random access resource configuration period, an uplink channel bandwidth, a bandwidth of the random access resource, a time period of a random access resource, a time period of the random access resource, and a frequency index of the random access resource that are configured by a network device, and the terminal device sends a random access signal to the network device at the determined frequency position.

An intelligent voice recognition method, voice recognition apparatus and intelligent computing device are disclosed. An intelligent voice recognition method of a voice recognition apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention detects a voice of a user, receives an authentication request from the user, and performs authentication for the user on the basis of a result of determination of whether authentication for the user has recently been performed and a result of recognition of the voice of the user, thereby reducing a time and the quantity of calculations necessary for user authentication. One or more of the voice recognition apparatus and the intelligent computing device can be associated with artificial intelligence (AI) modules, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) robots, augmented reality (AR) devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, 5G service related devices, etc.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a resource grant for at least one sidelink channel, wherein the resource grant indicates an uplink resource for transmitting sidelink transmission acknowledgement messages. The UE may transmit, to the base station and on the uplink resource, an indication of at least one status associated with a listen-before-talk procedure used on the at least one sidelink channel. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Systems and/or methods for supporting communications at a reduced bandwidth with a full bandwidth network such as a long-term evolution (LTE) network may be disclosed. For example, inband assignments such as downlink assignments and/or uplink grants may be provided and/or received and transmissions may be monitored and/or decoded based on the inband assignment. Additionally, information (e.g. a definition or configuration) associated with an ePDCCH may be provided and/or received and ePDCCH resources may be monitored and/or decoded based on such information. An indication for support of a reduced bandwidth by the full bandwidth network may also be provided and/or received and control channels in the reduced or narrow bandwidth may be monitored and/or decoded based on the indication. A PRACH preamble and/or a multi-type subframe definition may also be provided and/or used for support of such a reduced bandwidth.

Provided are a method for requesting, by a user equipment (UE), system information in a wireless communication system and a device supporting the same. The method may include: initiating a random access procedure; requesting system information from a base station (BS) in the initiated random access procedure; receiving, from the BS, a broadcast indication indicating that the requested system information is broadcast in the initiated random access procedure after requesting the system information from the BS; and stopping the initiated random access procedure.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may perform a listen before talk (LBT) procedure on a channel bandwidth using an energy detection (ED) threshold. The ED threshold being associated with a transmission bandwidth that is narrower than the channel bandwidth. The wireless device may also, responsive to a successful LBT procedure, transmit on the transmission bandwidth according to a frequency hopping pattern during a first channel occupancy time (COT). The frequency hopping pattern comprises a first resource allocation and a second resource allocation different from the first resource allocation.

A method by a UE for performing a random access procedure is provided. The method comprises transmitting a MSGA, monitoring a MSGB-RNTI within a MSGB window starting from an earliest symbol of an earliest PDCCH occasion after the MSGA transmission, receiving the MSGB in a first slot, the MSGB including a success RAR that contains a HARQ Feedback Timing Indicator, a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) Resource Indicator, and a UE Contention Resolution Identity, determining, by a MAC entity, to instruct a lower layer to transmit a HARQ feedback in a second slot in response to the reception of the success RAR, delivering, by the MAC entity, the HARQ Feedback Timing Indicator and the PUCCH Resource Indicator to the lower layer, and performing, by the lower layer, a HARQ feedback delivery on an uplink (UL) resource.
