Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed herein associated with physical random access, e.g., for new radio (NR) implementations such as NR-unlicensed (NR-U). A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may switch a position of a PRACH occasion (RO) with another RO to reduce latency (e.g., so that a WTRU can transmit a preamble without performing a LBT operation). Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for reserving a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure gap at the beginning of a random access channel (RACH) occasion (RO) in New Radio (NR) unlicensed (NR-U) systems. The present systems, methods, and instrumentalities may (e.g., may also) be applied to consecutive ROs. This may include reserving a LBT gap for example, for a RO transmission (e.g., for each of the consecutive ROs). Low latency RACH for NR-U systems may be supported (e.g., mapping rules for the RO may be implemented).

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). The method for operating a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station, configuration information of an initial active uplink bandwidth part (UL BWP) and corresponding random access resource; based on the configuration information of the initial active UL BWP and the corresponding random access resource, determining corresponding physical random access channel (PRACH) occasions; and performing random access procedure based on the determined PRACH occasion.

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry, where to configure the UE for New Radio (NR) communications above a 52.6 GHz carrier frequency, the processing circuitry is to decode higher layer signaling, the higher layer signaling including a default slot duration for a transmission of control signaling. The control signaling includes a synchronization signal (SS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) signaling. Synchronization information within a SS block is decoded. The SS block is received within a SS burst set and occupying a plurality of symbols within a slot having the default slot duration. A synchronization procedure is performed with a next generation Node-B (gNB) based on the synchronization information within the SS block and the PBCH signaling.

A method of a terminal may include: receiving, from a base station, a first SSB having an SSB candidate #n at a first frequency position during a first time period; receiving, from the base station, first mapping relationship information between SSB candidate indexes and SSB indexes; identifying an SSB #k mapped to the SSB candidate #n based on the first mapping relationship information for the first frequency position; acquiring time synchronization with respect to the base station based on the SSB candidate #n; and obtaining beam information for the first frequency position based on the SSB #k, wherein each of n and k is an integer equal to or greater than 0.

A base station for transmitting system related information in a mobile telecommunications network. The base station is configured to transmit system information for the cell provided by the base station and to broadcast a version synchronisation signal, wherein the version synchronisation signal provides version information regarding the current version of the system information for the cell.

The present disclosure provides a method for transmitting a synchronization signal (SS), the method comprising: performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) operation in a pre-defined window; if the LBT operation succeeds, transmitting an SS block (SSB) in the window, wherein the SSB comprises the SS, or the SSB comprises the SS and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH). Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure may significantly improve the efficiency of data transmission and the access performance for the communication system by relaxing the time when the base station implements the LBT, that is, allowing the base station to implement the LBT in the pre-defined window and transmit the SSB after the LBT succeeds.
