Some of the present embodiments provide a method for search space monitoring by a user equipment (UE). The method includes monitoring a first search space and a second search space. The method may receive, from a serving base station, a search space monitoring (de)activation message, which is transmitted by the serving base station of the UE, by monitoring the first search space. The method deactivates the monitoring of the second search space based on the received search space (de)activation message. In some of the present embodiments, each of the first and second search spaces includes one or more physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates, and monitoring the first search space and the second search space comprises decoding the one or more PDCCH candidates in each of the first search space and the second search space.

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.

Provided in an implementation of the present disclosure are an indication method, a detection method, and a related device. In the present disclosure, a network device prevents a user equipment from performing a useless search in a frequency domain range in which a synchronization signal block (SSB) does not exist by means of indicating to the user equipment a frequency domain location of the SSB in a certain frequency domain range of the user equipment.

Embodiments of this application provide a communication method, a communications apparatus, and a communications system, to determine a physical resource block (PRB) grid when a center frequency of a synchronization signal (SS) is inconsistent with a center frequency of a carrier. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal, an SS from a network device; determining, by the terminal, a first PRB grid based on the SS; receiving, by the terminal, first indication information from the network device, where the first indication information is used to indicate a first frequency offset between the first PRB grid and a second PRB grid; and determining, by the terminal, the second PRB grid based on the first PRB grid and the first frequency offset.

Embodiments of systems and techniques are described for supporting WLAN offloading. In some embodiments, a network management system (NMS) for WLAN offloading may include a network manager (NM); a first element manager (EM), coupled to the network manager, to communicate with the network manager and one or more WLANs; and a second EM, coupled to the NM, to communicate with the NM and one or more base stations of a cellular network. Coverage areas of at least one access point (AP) of the one or more WLANs are overlaid with at least one cell of the cellular network to support a WLAN offloading operation. Further, the NM is to activate the WLAN offloading operation based at least in part on at least one indicator received from the one or more WLANs. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

A method for transmitting downlink control information, terminal device and network device are provided. The method includes: a terminal device determines a plurality of candidate resource sets for transmitting first control information; the terminal device detects the first control information sent by a network device in the plurality of candidate resource sets; the terminal device determines a target resource set in the plurality of candidate resource sets according to a detection result of the first control information; the terminal device determines a target control channel resource corresponding to the target resource set according to the target resource set and a first mapping relationship, wherein the first mapping relationship is used for indicating a corresponding relationship between the plurality of candidate resource sets and a plurality of control channel resources; and the terminal device detects second control information sent by the network device in the target control channel resource.

The disclosure provides a method of providing synchronization signal block indication information in a wireless communication system, the method including: configuring the synchronization signal block indication information, based on information regarding an uplink-downlink slot configuration and a subcarrier spacing at which a synchronization signal block is transmitted; transmitting the configured synchronization signal block indication information to a terminal; and transmitting at least one synchronization signal block, based on the configured synchronization signal block indication information.

A terminal is disclosed including a processor coupled to a receiver that performs a measurement for a radio link monitoring (RLM) using a reference signal for the RLM; and controls, based on a subcarrier spacing (SCS) of the reference signal, a scheduling restriction on data during the measurement for the RLM, wherein the processor assumes that a condition for enabling transmission or reception of the data during the measurement for the RLM is more moderate than a condition for enabling transmission or reception of data during a radio resource management (RRM) measurement. In other aspects, a radio communication method and a system are also disclosed.

A 3GPP monitoring architecture framework provides monitoring event configuration, detection, and reporting for machine-type and other mobile data applications by configuring monitoring on a mobility management entity (MME), a serving general packet radio service support node (SGSN), or a home subscriber service (HSS) node through existing interfaces, such as Tsp, T4, and T5 interfaces.

To appropriately perform notification control related to a synchronization raster position, one aspect of the user terminal according to the present disclosure includes: a reception section that receives a synchronization signal block including a first information element related to a subcarrier offset, and a second information element related to a downlink control channel for system information; and a control section that, when a given code point is indicated in the first information element, recognizes an absence of a control resource set for the system information associated with the synchronization signal block, and determines an information type to be notified based on a code point included in the second information element.
