A method for determining quality of service (QoS) description information includes receiving at least one piece of QoS description information of a service. Each piece of the at least one piece of QoS description information includes parameter type information and a parameter requirement. The method also includes sending to a second core network element or an application function network element corresponding to the service, parameter type information and a parameter requirement in the at least one piece of QoS description information. The method further includes receiving from the second core network element or the application function network element, feedback information of the parameter type information and the parameter requirement. The method additionally includes determining at least one piece of target QoS description information in the at least one piece of QoS description information based on the feedback information.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for indicating carrier aggregation capabilities. An example method generally includes signaling, to a base station (BS), carrier aggregation capability information indicating a capability for performing separate operations concurrently on a plurality of component carriers; receiving a carrier aggregation configuration indicating component carriers designated for the separate operations; and receiving or transmitting transmissions based on the carrier aggregation configuration.

A communication resource unit allocation method, includes: receiving a message sent by a second radio communication device, wherein the message comprises an information element indicating a number of antennas of the second radio communication device.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive configuration information identifying a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state mode, wherein the TCI state mode is a first TCI state mode or a second TCI state mode. The UE may communicate using a beam associated with the TCI state mode. Numerous other aspects are described.

Prioritizing resource allocation for relay nodes that have higher bandwidth capabilities, such as 5G EN-DC, versus other relay nodes that do not have such capabilities. The bandwidth capability can be based on a channel bandwidth allocation for different relay nodes, with the assumption that 5G or higher relay nodes will be able to utilize higher bandwidth channels.

A method and system to help prevent legacy devices that do not support a service feature such as uplink-downlink subcarrier shifting from connecting with an access node on a carrier where the service feature should be applied. An example method involves use of Network Signaling (NS) values that are used for spectral emission control. Per the disclosure, the access node could broadcast an NS value that legacy device are not configured to understand but that newer devices are configured to understand as relating to both spectral emission limitation and also the service feature at issue. Responsive to the broadcast of that NS value, the legacy devices will therefore not connect with the access node, while the newer devices may connect with the access node and apply the service feature.

A system and a method for operating a lighting device may include a transmission device and an optional communication unit. The transmission device may be configured to wirelessly transmit a radio signal with identification data specific to the transmission device of the lighting device via at least two radio channels. The transmitted radio signal transmitted via a respective one of the at least two channels may include channel data with respect to the respective one of the radio channels. In a non-limiting embodiment, the transmission device is a beacon.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a UE may transmit an indication to a base station that the UE supports a beam update procedure that updates one or more beamforming parameters of one or more transmission beams. The UE may establish a connection with the base station via the one or more transmission beams. The UE may receive a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) communication to initiate the beam update procedure, the received MAC-CE communication indicating one or more aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) resources to be used in the beam update procedure. The UE may perform the beam update procedure, based on the MAC-CE communication, to update one or more beamforming parameters of the one or more transmission beams.

Various aspects to improve a sidelink communication by UEs in a presence of a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) are provided. In an aspect, the UE may determine RIS location information for a RIS device controlled by a base station, configure one or more sidelink communication parameters based on the RIS location information, and perform a sidelink communication with a second UE based on the one or more sidelink communication parameters. In an aspect, the UE may receive, from a base station, a RIS configuration setting indicating communication patterns of a RIS device controlled by the base station, the communication patterns being respectively associated with pattern durations, select a pattern duration of the pattern durations, and perform a sidelink communication with a second UE during the selected pattern duration of the pattern durations that is associated with a respective communication pattern of the communication patterns.

Technologies for establishing and utilizing a decentralized cloud infrastructure using a plurality of mobile computing devices include broadcasting for the formation of the decentralized cloud computing and storage infrastructure and establishing wireless communications between the plurality of mobile computing devices. The plurality of mobile computing devices self-organize and cooperate with one another to establish a structured decentralized cloud infrastructure to expose and sharing resources, services, and/or applications for ad hoc or socially-driven decentralized, cloud computing purposes.
