The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for reducing power consumption in a receiver of a time slotted communication system. An RF front end has power applied after the start of a preamble or after the start of a header, or upon the start of a packet payload based on connection status, signal level, and interference level. Where the signal level is constant, the communication system is in a connected state, and the interference level is low, the system bypasses packet header destination address matching, or optionally, uses only the least significant bits of the header destination address for matching purposes.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for uplink power control in a cellular communications network that are particularly well-suited for flying wireless devices (e.g., aerial User Equipments (UEs)). In some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for uplink power control comprises receiving, from a base station, reference altitude information comprising one or more height thresholds and detecting that a height of the wireless device is above a height threshold. The method further comprises triggering and sending a measurement report to the base station upon detecting that the height of the wireless device is above the height threshold, and receiving, from the base station, an indication to use a particular one of two or more fractional pathloss compensation factors for uplink power control. The two or more fractional pathloss compensation factors for uplink power control comprise one or more wireless device specific fractional pathloss compensation factors.

Provided are a signal transmitting method and apparatus, a storage medium and an electronic apparatus for random-access signal transmissions. The method includes determining resources for a random-access signal in a region that comprises 36 subcarriers and six symbol groups. The six symbol groups are assigned indices 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and a subcarrier index occupied by a symbol group is determined based on determining a first subcarrier index occupied by a neighboring symbol group, and determining the subcarrier index based on the first subcarrier index and an offset value. The method also includes transmitting the random-access signal using the determined resources.
