Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing aperiodic Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) triggering in a wireless system. Embodiments of a method performed by a wireless device and corresponding embodiments of a wireless device are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method in a wireless device for triggering aperiodic SRS comprises receiving a first SRS configuration for a first type of aperiodic SRS transmission and a second SRS configuration for a second type of aperiodic SRS transmission. The method further comprises receiving downlink control information comprising a parameter for triggering an aperiodic SRS transmission and determining whether to use the first SRS configuration or the second SRS configuration. The method further comprises transmitting an aperiodic SRS transmission in accordance with the determined SRS configuration. Embodiments of a method performed by a base station and corresponding embodiments of a base station are also disclosed.

In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives, from an access node (AN), downlink control information (DCI) triggering a transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS) of a SRS resource set. The DCI indicates a time-domain resource in available time-domain resources for transmitting the SRS resource set. The UE determines a position of the time-domain resource in the available time-domain resources based on the DCI, and transmits the SRS in accordance with the position of the time-domain resource. In another embodiment, a UE receives control information indicating a frequency resource in a carrier for transmission of one or more SRSs. The UE determines, based thereon, to segment the frequency resource into segments that each includes contiguous physical resource blocks (PRBs), and transmits a SRS in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol on a first segment and not on a second segment.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may transmit a first set of periodic signals associated with a first set of spatial relationships in a first set of periodic signal transmission occasions associated with a first periodicity; and transmit one or more second sets of periodic signals with a second set of spatial relationships in one or more second sets of periodic signal transmission occasions associated with a second periodicity, wherein the one or more second sets of periodic signal transmission occasions occur before a next first set of the periodic signal transmission occasions. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A communication method includes a first terminal device that determines first configuration information of first discontinuous reception DRX, where the first DRX controls the first terminal device to receive data on a sidelink. The first terminal device sends the first configuration information to a second terminal device, where the second terminal device is a terminal device that establishes a sidelink connection to the first terminal device. This can reduce power consumption of the terminal device.

Embodiments of the present application provides a method and apparatus for determining a monitoring occasion, the method includes: determining, according to first information, a number of times of repetitive transmission for a physical downlink control channel PDCCH; and determining N slots according to the number of the times of the repetitive transmission for the PDCCH, where N is used to indicate a number of slots included in the monitoring occasion for monitoring the PDCCH, and N is an integer greater than 1. The requirement of the repetitive transmission for a PDCCH can be met, and the performance of the PDCCH transmission can be improved.

This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus. One example method includes: A sending device sends a first physical layer protocol data unit PPDU over a first link, where the first PPDU carries a trigger frame. The sending device sends a second PPDU over a second link, where an end time of sending the second PPDU is not earlier than a first time and not later than a second time, the first time is related to an end time of sending the first PPDU and a state turnaround time in a short interframe space SIFS time, and the second time is related to the end time of sending the first PPDU and the SIFS time.

Systems and methods presented herein provide for improved duplex communications in an RF cable network comprising a plurality of CMs. In one embodiment, a system includes a CMTS operable to transmit downstream communications to the CMs and to process upstream communications from the CMs. The system also includes a duplex RF communication path between the CMTS and the CMs. The CMTS is further operable to transmit a control signal that directs a first of the CMs to transmit, to direct the remaining CMs to receive the transmission from the first CM, to direct the CMs to report received power levels of the transmission from the first CM, and to calculate RF isolations of the remaining CMs with respect to the first CM based on the reported power levels.

Method, terminal device and network device for transmitting channels are provided. The method includes: receiving at least one time domain symbol position information, where time domain symbol position information for first type is used for indicating a relative position between the starting time domain symbol occupied by the channel to be scheduled and time slot where the channel to be scheduled is located, and time domain symbol position information for second type is used for indicating a relative position between the starting time domain symbol occupied by the channel to be scheduled and time domain resources where target control information is located; determining a type of target time domain symbol position information in the at least one time domain symbol position information and then determining a position of the starting time domain symbol occupied by the channel to be scheduled and indicated by the target time domain symbol position information.

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, specifically, to a method and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: receiving scheduling information for a plurality of consecutive transmission time intervals (TTIs); and transmitting data on the basis of the scheduling information, wherein the scheduling information includes a combination of a first symbol index and the number of consecutive symbols, the data is transmitted from a starting symbol of a first TTI (starting TTI) among the plurality of consecutive TTIs to an ending symbol of the last TR on the basis of the scheduling information, and the index of the starting symbol and the index of the ending symbol are determined on the basis of the combination of the first symbol index and the number of the consecutive symbols.

Various arrangements for performing uplink grant-free transmissions are presented herein. An instance of user equipment (UE) may determine data that is to be transmitted using a grant-free (GF) uplink transmission to a base station of a cellular network. The UE may select a first GF resource block and a second GF resource block. The UE may transmit GF transmissions that comprise: a data payload and a first pointer at the first GF resource block; and the data payload and a second pointer at the second GF resource block. The first pointer may refer to the second GF resource block, while the second pointer may refer to the first GP resource block.
