Network identifier and authentication information generation for building automation system controllers

Generating network identifier information and authentication information for wireless communication with a controller includes accessing, by the controller, identity information associated with the controller. The controller obfuscates the identity information and generates the network identifier information and the authentication information associated with the controller using the obfuscated identity information. The controller is configured for wireless communication using the generated network identifier information and the generated authentication information.

Techniques for signaling a beam for periodic communications

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first transmission on a first beam of a set of beams in a first time period of a first transmission duration. The UE may identify a second beam of the set of beams in a second time period of the first transmission duration. The UE may transmit an indication of the identified second beam of the set of beams for an uplink transmission and/or a downlink transmission in a second transmission duration. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Method and apparatus for performing cooperative communication in wireless communication system

In a wireless communication system, a user equipment (UE) transmits, to a base station (BS), UE capability information comprising whether the UE supports cooperative communication for receiving physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) from a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs) in a particular time-frequency resource, obtains, via radio resource control (RRC), information about whether the cooperative communication is to be applied from the BS, identifies a format of a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) received from the BS based on whether the BS is to apply the cooperative communication, and determines transmission configuration indication (TCI) states according to the respective TRPs, based on the identified format of the MAC CE.

Methods and systems for radio access network aggregation and uniform control of multi-RAT networks

Methods and systems for Radio Access Network (RAN) aggregation of multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs). A method disclosed herein includes aggregating the RATs at a RAN level to provide at least one User Equipment (UE) with multi-connectivity. The method further includes enabling at least one Centralized unit (gNodeB-CU) within at least one RAN node to uniformly control Distributed Units (DUs) of different RATs (5G New Radio (NR) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) RATs). The method further includes enabling the at least one gNB-CU to control the at least one UE and allow the at least one UE to connect with an additional RAT irrespective of an initial RAT, the UE is connected to. The method further includes controlling WLAN Access Point (AP) as a 5G distributed unit (gNB-DU).

Coordination between multicast/broadcast communication and unicast communication

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration for a shared physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The UE may receive a first communication via the shared PDSCH and a first bearer based at least in part on the configuration, the first communication being one of a unicast communication or a multicast/broadcast communication. The UE may receive a second communication via the shared PDSCH and the first bearer or a second bearer based at least in part on the configuration, the second communication being the other of the unicast communication or the multicast/broadcast communication. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Prioritization of uplink transmissions on NR-U

In an aspect, the present disclosure includes a method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for wireless communications for receiving, from a network entity, a configured grant associated with a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure; determining a transmission priority on the configured grant associated with the LBT procedure; and determining a logical channel based on the transmission priority on the configured grant, wherein determining the logical channel further comprises determining that a scheduled transmission includes one or more signaling data transmissions on the configured grant, the one or more signaling data transmissions corresponding to at least one of a signaling radio bearer 0 (SRB0), SRB1, and SRB3; adjusting a priority level for the one or more signaling data transmissions to a highest priority level corresponding to a higher channel access priority class; and transmitting, to the network entity, on the configured logical channel of the configured grant after successfully performing the LBT procedure.
