Provided are a data transmission method and apparatus and a computer storage medium. The method may include: a source Distributed Unit (DU) reports a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) transmission state report to a source Centralized Unit (CU), where the PDCP transmission state report enables the CU to determine which PDCP protocol data unit (PDU) data is not successfully received by a UE; and the PDCP PDU data which is not successfully received by the UE are retransmitted to the UE via a target DU.

A communication device receives a physical layer (PHY) protocol data unit (PPDU). The PPDU includes i) a PHY preamble and ii) PHY data portion that includes one or more PHY midambles, and the PHY preamble includes i) an indication of a length of the PPDU, and ii) an indication of a periodicity of PHY midambles in the PHY data portion. The communication device calculates a number of PHY midambles in the PPDU using i) the indication of the length of the PPDU, and ii) the indication of the periodicity of PHY midambles. The communication device calculates a reception time for the PPDU using the calculated number of PHY midambles, and processes the PPDU using the calculated reception time.

Embodiments include methods and/or procedures for a user equipment (UE) to activate a secondary cell (SCell) for operating with the UE's primary serving cell (PSC). Embodiments include determining a receiver activity rate for the UE. Embodiments also include receiving, from the PSC, an activation request identifying the SCell. Embodiments also include activating the SCell based on the receiver activity rate. Other embodiments include complementary methods and/or procedures performed by a network node arranged to communicate with one or more UEs via a PSC and at least one selectively activated SCell. Other embodiments include UEs and network nodes configured to perform operations corresponding to various ones of the methods and/or procedures, as well as computer-readable media embodying such operations.

A base station central unit transmits to a first base station distributed unit (BS-DU), a first power value for uplink transmission of a wireless device to the first BS-DU. A second request to add the second BS-DU for the wireless device is transmitted to a second BS-DU. The second request comprises a second power value for uplink transmission of the wireless device to the second BS-DU. A third power value for uplink transmission of the wireless device to the first BS-DU is transmitted to the first BS-DU. The third power value is based on the second power value.

A network node obtains (302) a message to be transmitted as a public warning system notification to multiple UEs, via one or more SIBs, and obtains (304) area information corresponding to the message. The area information indicates an area for which the message is relevant. The network node determines (306) how many SIBs are needed for transmitting the area information and segments (308) the message into a plurality of segments, based on how many SIBs are needed for transmitting the area information. The network node transmits (310) the message and the area information via SIBs, such that a segment of the message is included in each SIB and such that each portion of the area information included in a SIB is accompanied by a segment of the message. A UE receives the SIBs and assembles the message and area information, displaying the message if it is relevant.

Provided are a method of performing cell reselection and a device supporting the method. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the method includes: starting data transmission or data reception while the UE is in radio resource control (RRC) idle state or RRC inactive state; applying an offset value to a serving cell for cell reselection; performing cell reselection based on the applied offset value, during the data transmission or data reception; and stopping applying the offset value to the serving cell, when the data transmission or data reception is succeeded.

The disclosed techniques enable communication nodes to perform rate adjustments. As an example, a communication node may receive a control information from a network node. Based on the received control information, the control node may determine that the network node supports codec adaptation or that the communication node is allowed to enable the codec adaptation.

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. An apparatus, a method and a system for system information acquisition, beam failure recovery, and cell reselection in wireless communication system are provided.
