Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may use quasi co-located antenna ports for transmission of synchronization signal(s)/reference signal(s) and paging signals. For example, the base station may use a first antenna port configuration for transmission of the synchronization/reference signal(s) and a second antenna port configuration for transmission of the paging signal (e.g., paging indicator, paging message, etc.). The base station may transmit an indication of the quasi co-located antenna ports. A user equipment (UE) may receive the synchronization signal and, based on the antenna ports being quasi co-located, receive the paging signal. In some examples, the UE may determine which receive beam to use to receive the paging signal based on the antenna ports being quasi co-located. In some aspects, the UE may use a reference signal transmitted on antenna ports that are quasi co-located with the paging signal antenna ports.

Provided are time domain resource determination and detection methods and apparatuses, a storage medium and an electronic device. The method includes determining a time domain resource allocation pattern set. The time domain resource allocation pattern set includes at least one of a time domain resource allocation pattern set corresponding to a combination of a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) and a second SCS, where the first SCS is an SCS of a first channel signal, and the second SCS is an SCS of a second channel signal; a time domain resource allocation pattern set indicated by downlink control information (DCI) signaling; or a time domain resource allocation pattern set corresponding to a slot type. A time domain resource allocation pattern in the time domain resource allocation pattern set is used to indicate symbols occupied by the second channel signal. This solves the technical problem in the related art that only the second channel signal is supported to be transmitted on several consecutive symbols in the slot.

Systems and methods are provided for broadcasting a signal. A multiplexer combines a first signal from a first signal source and a second signal from a second signal source as a time divisional multiplexed signal and provides a timing signal, distinct from the time division multiplexed signal, that indicates, for a given time, from which of the first and the second signal source a corresponding portion of the time divisional multiplexed signal originated. A signal conditioning component receives each of the time divisional multiplexed signal and the timing signal and alters the time division multiplexed signal in a manner that prepares the signal for broadcast. The signal conditioning component dynamically alters its behavior according to the timing signal. An antenna transmits the time division multiplexed signal.

A method of communication in a vehicle network is provided. An example method includes transmitting a network allocation map in a TDMA cycle, indicating reservation of time slots in the TDMA cycle. The method further includes transmitting a synchronization signal in the TDMA cycle, to synchronize the timing of nodes in the vehicle network. Each of the reserved time slots is identified by at least a network ID of a transmitting node in the vehicle network, and a slot type comprising one of a low latency traffic slot, and a bulk traffic slot. Further, the low latency traffic slots are repeated in the TDMA cycle at least as frequently as a guaranteed QoS latency parameter. Further, the bulk traffic slots are at least as long as a guaranteed QoS throughput parameter.

Disclosed is a method of registering a new optical network unit (ONU) to be performed by an optical line terminal (OLT). The method includes transmitting a ranging notification message to a centralized unit (CU)/distributed unit (DU) to register the new ONU, receiving scheduling information for registering the new ONU from the CU/DU in response to the ranging notification message, transmitting a serial number request message to a service region in which ONUs are present based on the received scheduling information, and when the serial number response message is received from the new ONU in response to the serial number request message, registering the new ONU that transmits a serial number request message. The transmitting of the serial number request message is performed through a multi-quiet zone of a short period.

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) to support dual-connectivity with a Master Evolved Node-B (MeNB) and a Secondary eNB (SeNB) are disclosed herein. The UE may receive downlink traffic packets from the MeNB and from the SeNB as part of a split data radio bearer (DRB). At least a portion of control functionality for the split DRB may be performed at each of the MeNB and the SeNB. The UE may receive an uplink eNB indicator for an uplink eNB to which the UE is to transmit uplink traffic packets as part of the split DRB. Based at least partly on the uplink eNB indicator, the UE may transmit uplink traffic packets to the uplink eNB as part of the split DRB. The uplink eNB may be selected from a group that includes the MeNB and the SeNB.

A user equipment device (UE) may implement improved communication methods which include radio resource time multiplexing, dynamic sub-frame allocation, and UE transmit duty cycle control. The UE may communicate with base stations using radio frames that include multiple sub-frames, transmit information regarding allocation of a portion of the sub-frames of a respective radio frame for each of a plurality of the radio frames, and transmit and receive data using allocated sub-frames and not using unallocated sub-frames. Additionally, the UE may operate according to a sub-frame allocation based on its current power state. The UE may transmit information to the base station and receive the sub-frame allocation based on at least the information and switch transmit duty cycles based on an occurrence of a condition at the UE. The UE may inform the network of the switch.

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for transmitting or receiving a signal associated with a platoon communication by a first terminal in wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: receiving group resource pool information of a terminal group moving in a platoon formation; selecting a sub-pool, which is to be used by the first terminal, in a group resource pool on the basis of the group resource pool information; and transmitting or receiving a signal to or from one or more terminals within the terminal group through the selected sub-pool.

The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus of handling in-device co-existence interference in a wireless communication environment. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting in-device co-existence interference between a LTE module and an ISM module in user equipment. The method further includes identifying subframes and corresponding HARQ processes in a set of subframes allocated to the LTE module which are affected by the ISM module operation. Additionally, the method includes reserving the remaining subframes and corresponding HARQ processes in the set of subframes for the LTE module operation. Furthermore, the method includes indicating to a base station that the remaining subframes and the corresponding HARQ processes are reserved for the LTE module operation to resolve the in-device co-existence interference. Moreover, the method includes receiving scheduling pattern indicating subframes and corresponding HARQ processes reserved for the LTE operation or derived DRX parameters from the base station based on the indication.

A method of generating a communication schedule for a plurality of nodes in a multi-hop network, the plurality of nodes comprising a first node, a second node and a third node, wherein: the second node is a primary parent of the first node and the third node is a secondary parent of the first node. The method comprises requesting, by the first node, a first resource in the communication schedule for communication from the first node to the second node and a second resource in the communication schedule for communication from the first node to the third node. The method further comprises allocating, by at least one of the second or third node, a second set of resources in the communication schedule comprising a third resource in the communication schedule for communication from the first node to the second node and a fourth resource in the communication schedule for communication from the first node to the third node; wherein: at least the third resource does not generate a conflict in the communication schedule.
