A wireless multiple antenna system (200) uses a multi-antenna subsystem (211) to generate a composite sample waveform by continuously sweeping a plurality of receive beams (RX1-RXM) during each SSB transmission in a plurality of transmit beams (TX1-TX64), generating a composite received signal strength metric value from a batch of samples collected over the plurality of receive beams to determine the presence of the SSB, and then jointly searching the composite sample waveform for an optimal receive beam and an SSB frequency of any detected SSB that are used by the UE (210) to perform a cell search which matches a transmit beam from the base station (201) to the optimal receive beam.

A user equipment (UE) configured to receive secondary cell (SCell) activation configuration information from a first cell, receive a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) from the first cell, wherein the MAC CE indicates that a SCell state is to be changed from a deactivated state to an activated state and receive aperiodic reference signals from a secondary cell (SCell), wherein the reception of the aperiodic reference signals is triggered by the MAC CE.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. One method may include transmitting a first signal instructing a user equipment (UE) to transition a state of a secondary cell associated with the UE; determining an allocation of resources for the UE to communicate with the secondary cell; and transmitting a second signal including an indication of an active bandwidth part (BWP) used for the allocation of resources based on the determining. The active BWP and the first signal may indicate the transition of the state of the secondary cell.

The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication system and, more particularly, to a method and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: detecting an SSB in an unlicensed band, the SSB including an index related to a CORESET configuration; determining, on the basis of the index, an RB offset used for identifying the position of a CORESET frequency associated with the SSB; and monitoring the CORESET in the unlicensed band on the basis of the RB offset.

Aspects are described for a user equipment (UE) comprising a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a serving cell and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to determine a reference signal sequence that comprises a primary synchronization signal (PSS) sequence and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) sequence of a target cell. The processor is further configured to receive a signal sequence from the target cell and calculate an overall correlation value based on the reference signal sequence and the received signal sequence. The processor is further configured to determine that the overall correlation value is above a threshold and detect a synchronization signal block (SSB) of the target cell based on the received signal sequence. Finally, the processor is configured to establish a wireless connection with the target cell based on the SSB.

A method, and a user equipment (UE) for power saving through optimized early measurement of frequencies for secondary cell setup in cellular network are provided. The UE initiates a service with a base station associated with a primary cell supporting the early measurement of the frequencies for the secondary cell (SCell) setup. The UE determines whether the service belongs to one of a first service set, and a second service set. The early measurement of the frequencies for the S Cell setup is temporarily terminated, and/or the transmission of an early measurement report comprising the one or more frequencies for the SCell setup to the base station is temporarily terminated. Alternatively, the UE performs the early measurement of the frequencies for the SCell setup and transmits the early measurement report to the base station when the service belongs to the second service set.

A method of wireless communication includes receiving, by a UE, one or more configuration messages indicating synchronization signals (SS) and physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block measurement timing configuration (SMTC) parameters. The SMTC parameters indicate SMTC windows associated with reception of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) by the UE from a base station. The method further includes, based on detecting one or more trigger conditions, transitioning, by the UE, from an inactive state to an active state to receive, during a time interval distinct from the SMTC windows, one or more SSBs from the base station. The method further includes performing, by the UE, one or more beam management operations based on the one or more SSBs received during the time interval.

A method is provided for a terminal, which includes identifying information on a number of slots for PUCCH transmission via an RRC signal; obtaining information on a starting symbol for the PUCCH transmission and information on a PRB for the PUCCH transmission; identifying a slot index for the PUCCH transmission for the PUCCH transmission; and performing, based on the information on the starting symbol, the information on the PRB, and the slot index, the PUCCH transmission in a plurality of slots corresponding to the number of slots. The information on the starting symbol and the information on the PRB are applied to a PUCCH of each of the plurality of slots. The PUCCH of each of the plurality of slots includes at least four symbols. The information on the starting symbol and the information on the PRB are obtained based on a combination of the RRC signal and physical signal.

The present invention discloses a method for a user equipment to receive system information in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method is characterized in detecting a first synchronization signal block configured with a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) and a Physical Broadcasting Channel (PBCH) at a specific frequency position, determining a presence or non-presence of system information corresponding to the first synchronization signal block within a first synchronization raster corresponding to a specific frequency position based on a system information indicator included in the PBCH, and if the system information corresponding to the first synchronization signal block is determined as not existing, determining a second synchronization raster having system information exist therein based on the system information indicator.
