A method of operating a communications device in a wireless communications network, the method comprising: measuring received signals transmitted in a first cell at a first location to generate a measurement result, wherein the communications device is not permitted to access the first cell, and transmitting in a second cell a minimization of drive tests (MDT) report based on the measurement result, the report comprising an indication of the first location.

Signal reception method and apparatus for a UE in an idle-state, storage medium, and a terminal. The method includes: monitoring signal quality of a serving cell; and determining and receiving system information matching the signal quality based on the signal quality.

To support devices with different bandwidth capabilities, a base station configures a first initial bandwidth part (BWP) of a first width within a bandwidth of the first cell (1002) and configures a second initial BWP of a second width, within the bandwidth of the first cell (1004). The base station transmits an indication of the first BWP in the first cell and an indication of the second BWP in the first cell or a second cell, to cause a first user equipment UE having a first bandwidth capability to access the first BWP, and a second UE having a second bandwidth capability to access the second BWP (1006).

Methods for communicating a Quality of Experience (QoE) measurement are provided. In embodiments disclosed herein, a wireless device communicates the QoE measurement to a base station based on Radio Resource Control (RRC) segmentation. In this regard, the wireless device receives an indication that indicates whether the base station can support the RRC segmentation. Accordingly, the wireless device transmits the QoE measurement to the base station based on the RRC segmentation if the indication indicates that the base station can support the RRC segmentation. By transmitting the QoE measurement based on the RRC segmentation, the wireless device can communicate more QoE information to the base station in a larger QoE measurement file (e.g., 8000 kilobytes).

A system and method for managing beacon size. In some embodiments, the method includes: transmitting, by an Access Point Station (AP STA) a first beacon; transmitting, by the AP STA, a second beacon indicating feature information; and transmitting, by the AP STA, a first follow-on beacon, the first follow-on beacon supplementing the feature information indicated in the second beacon.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a system information block (SIB) that indicates a selected set of message repetition numbers from a plurality of sets of message repetition numbers. The UE may receive, from the base station, a bit field in a random access response (RAR) or downlink control information (DCI) that indicates a selected message repetition number from the selected set of message repetition numbers indicated in the SIB. The UE may transmit, to the base station, a message during a random access procedure based at least in part on the selected message repetition number. Numerous other aspects are described.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method includes receiving, from a first base station, control signaling indicating one or more frequency bands on which one or more neighbor base stations operate that are associated with a first geographic location of the first base station, performing, based on the control signaling, a frequency scanning procedure using at least one frequency band of the one or more frequency bands to select a first neighbor base station of the one or more neighbor base stations, and establishing connectivity with the first neighbor base station based on the frequency scanning procedure.

An initial access method of an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in a wireless communication system and an apparatus using the method are provided. The method includes: receiving, from a parent node, a synchronization signal block (SSB) and system information; and performing a random access procedure with the parent node on the basis of the SSB and the system information, wherein the SSB and the system information are received through a resource allocated to an access link of the parent node, and the random access step is performed through a resource allocated to the backhaul link of the parent node, and the random access step is performed using resources determined differently depending on whether the TAB node is a relay node or a terminal.

A UE may enter a dormant state, e.g., for power savings. The systems, methods, and apparatus described herein may provide ways for the UE to transition between an active state and a dormant state, as well as UE behavior in a dormant state. The apparatus may be a UE configured to receive an indication of a bandwidth part (BWP) switch for a secondary cell and to transition between an active state and a dormant state for the secondary cell based on the indication of the BWP switch.
