Presented herein are techniques in which a network device obtains a request from an Internet of Things (IoT) device to access a wireless wide area (WWA) access network. The request includes a token and an identifier associated with the IoT device. The network device transmits a verification request to an IoT vendor associated with the IoT device to determine whether the token and the identifier are valid and obtains an indication from the IoT vendor that the token and the identifier are valid. The network device facilitates connection of the IoT device to the WWA access network based on obtaining the indication that the token and the identifier are valid.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may use the techniques described herein to efficiently detect beam failure. In one aspect, the UE may autonomously select one or more criteria for detecting beam failure. The UE may then perform measurements on beam failure detection reference signals received from the base station and use the selected one or more criteria to detect beam failure. Because the UE may select the one or more criteria without signaling from the base station, control overhead between the UE and the base station may be reduced.

A method for forwarding downlink packets based on S1 handover is provided. The method includes: numbering a packet not processed by using PDCP according to a message that comprises PDCP Serial Number (SN) information if downlink packets to be forwarded include the packet not processed by using PDCP; and sending the downlink packets to the UE according to the PDCP SN corresponding to the packet included in the downlink packets. A method for forwarding uplink packets based on S1 handover is disclosed. The method includes: receiving state report information of the packet sent by the target eNodeB; and sending the packet according to the state report information of the packet. Another method for forwarding downlink packets based on S1 handover and an eNodeB are disclosed. Through the embodiments of the present disclosure, the packets are forwarded without loss in the case of S1 handover.

Apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods for control field for null data packet feedback report trigger are disclosed. A station is disclosed, the station comprising processing circuitry configured to: decode a media access control (MAC) protocol data unit (MPDU) comprising an A-control field of type null data packet (NDP) feedback report poll comprising a feedback type field and an indication of a resource unit (RU). The processing circuitry further configured to determine whether the station is scheduled to respond to the A-control field of type NDP feedback report poll, and if the station is scheduled to respond to the A-control field of type NDP feedback report poll, configure the station to transmit a response to a feedback type indicated by the value of the feedback type field on the RU. Apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods for short block acknowledgment with NDP are disclosed.

Methods, apparatuses and systems are provided for transmitting data. A method includes: sending a target random access preamble to a base station; receiving a target random access response that is sent by the base station based on the target random access preamble and carries repetition-number-indicating information; and transmitting, in accordance with a target transmission repetition number, the target uplink data to the base station during the random access procedure. The target transmission repetition number indicates a number of times the user equipment is configured to repeatedly transmit the target uplink data to the base station during the random access procedure. The target transmission repetition number is determined based on the repetition-number-indicating information and a target transmission block size. The target transmission block size is for the user equipment to transmit the target uplink data to the base station during the random access procedure.
