Apparatuses and methods supporting uplink transmissions are disclosed. A method includes receiving signaling including information indicating a primary cell and at least one non-primary cell, receiving a message with scheduling information indicating an allocation of uplink resources and a HARQ process ID, and transmitting to at least the one non-primary cell an uplink transmission using a HARQ process indicated by the HARQ process ID and the allocation of uplink resources. Another method includes transmitting signaling including information indicating a primary cell and at least one non-primary cell, transmitting a message with scheduling information indicating an allocation of uplink resources and a HARQ process ID to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), and receiving an uplink transmission using a HARQ process indicated by the HARQ process ID and the allocation of uplink resources on at least the one non-primary cell.

Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) to support dual-connectivity with a Master Evolved Node-B (MeNB) and a Secondary eNB (SeNB) are disclosed herein. The UE may receive downlink traffic packets from the MeNB and from the SeNB as part of a split data radio bearer (DRB). At least a portion of control functionality for the split DRB may be performed at each of the MeNB and the SeNB. The UE may receive an uplink eNB indicator for an uplink eNB to which the UE is to transmit uplink traffic packets as part of the split DRB. Based at least partly on the uplink eNB indicator, the UE may transmit uplink traffic packets to the uplink eNB as part of the split DRB. The uplink eNB may be selected from a group that includes the MeNB and the SeNB.

Embodiments of a system and method for providing DRX enhancements in LTE systems are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a system control module is provided for controlling communications via a communications interface. A processor is coupled to the system control module and is arranged to implement an inactivity timer and an on-duration timer for determining an active time for monitoring subframes on the physical downlink control channel for control signals, the processor further monitoring subframes after the active time.

Methods and apparatuses related to a two-step RACH procedure are provided. Channel conditions can be estimated based on a UE PRACH transmission rather than the subsequent PUSCH transmission in the first part of the two-step RACH. A variable length gap can be provided between the PRACH preamble transmission and the PUSCH transmission. Other solutions are also provided.

Embodiments of this application provide a random access processing method. A random access preamble and uplink data are sent in an initiation phase of a random access procedure, and the random access procedure is ended in time after feedback information for the uplink data is received. According to technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, a terminal side device may send the uplink data when sending the random access preamble in the random access procedure. In addition, the random access procedure can be ended in advance after the feedback information for the uplink data is received.

An uplink data transmission method and an apparatus include or relate to a terminal device which determines, based on indication information of a network device, a time-frequency resource corresponding to a random access resource, or a part of a time frequency resource in the random access resource, to directly transmit uplink data. Configuration information of a time-frequency resource for random access may be reused for configuration information of the time-frequency resource, so that signaling overheads are reduced and a resource utilization is improved.

Embodiments of the present application relate to a method for sending media access control control element and a terminal device, where the method includes: the terminal device sends a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) for reporting beam failure according to a size of an available uplink resource in a random access process. The embodiment of the present application can avoid transmission failure caused by an inappropriate size of the MAC CE for reporting beam failure.

The present specification relates to a method for performing uplink transmission in a wireless communication system. More specifically, a method performed by a terminal comprises the steps of: transmitting, to a base station, a plurality of PRACH preambles related to a plurality of transmission units indicating a physical layer resource set; receiving, from the base station, a plurality of random access responses (RARs) corresponding to the plurality of PRACH preambles, wherein each of the plurality of RARs comprises a temporary cell (TC)-RNTI; and transmitting, to the base station, a plurality of uplink signals on the basis of the plurality of RARs, wherein the uplink signals comprise information on overlapped TC-RNTIs.

Embodiments herein relate, e.g., to a method performed by a wireless device for handling communication in a wireless communication network. The wireless device transmits to a radio network node, a first preamble associated with a selected downlink beam. The wireless device further monitors for a random access response, RAR, in a first RAR reception window and when the RAR is not received in the first RAR reception window, monitors for the RAR in a second RAR reception window of a different beam or to transmit, to the radio network node, a second preamble associated with a second beam wherein the first preamble is associated with a channel state information reference signal and the second preamble is associated with a synchronization signal block.

Disclosed herein are a method and a device for transmitting an uplink channel in a wireless communication system. According to the present disclosure, a UE transmits to a base station information associated with uplink transmission supported by the UE and the UE information includes a subset including at least one transmit precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) supported by the UE. The UE may receive from the base station uplink transmission information including a TPMI for transmitting an uplink channel and transmit to the base station the uplink channel based on the uplink transmission information, and the uplink channel may be transmitted through full transmission power configured by the base station based on a case where the TPMI is included in the subset.
