Systems and methods related to UL communications in a wireless network are provided. A UE receives an indication of a plurality of TXOPs for a RACH procedure from a BS. In an embodiment, the UE starts a timer after either successfully transmitting a random access message to the BS or failing to succeed in any of the TXOPs. In another embodiment, the UE starts the timer at a pre-agreed time after one of the TXOPs, regardless of whether the random access message has been successfully transmitted yet or not. In another embodiment, the UE receives as part of a RACH response an indication of whether the RACH response is split into multiple parts. If the UE does not locate an identifier corresponding to the UE in the RACH response, the UE checks for the indication and, if present, listen for the next RACH response identified from the indication.

Wireless transmission may be based on a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure indicating a clear channel. One or more transmissions may start from a configured starting position. The configured starting position may be signaled to a wireless device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive signaling indicating a configuration for communicating to the UE a random access response of a random access procedure. The configuration may indicate a first quantity of instances of control information associated with the random access response in a set of slots and a portion of the time window configured for the first quantity of instances. The UE may monitor the set of slots for instances of the control information and receive a second quantity of instances of the control information for the UE in a first subset of slots of the set of slots. The second quantity of instances may be less than the first quantity of instances. The UE may combine the instances of the control information from the first subset of slots and decode the random access response based on combining the instances.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques to reduce overhead and improve resource management by efficiently selecting RSMA spreading code for periodic traffic in IoE devices. For example, in accordance with one technique, the IoE device, during an initial access to the base station, may notify the base station of the traffic periodicity of the IoE device such that the base station may assign a spreading code from a dedicated pool that is not utilized during the periodic access of the device. Additionally or alternatively, another technique to reduce overhead and improve resource management may include the IoE devices broadcasting the selected RSMA spreading code that the IoE devices intends to use in discovery broadcasts (DBs) along with the IoE device traffic periodicity such that the IoE devices may autonomously manage selection of RSMA spreading code that avoids collisions for the same traffic periodicity.

A method for performing an uplink transmission by a user equipment in a non-terrestrial network, a method for scheduling uplink transmission in a non-terrestrial network, a user equipment and a base station are provided. The method comprises: receiving, from a base station, a first information for indicating uplink transmission resources, and a second information, wherein the second information comprises a first parameter for indicating the uplink transmission resources; performing, based on the first information and the second information, an uplink transmission on the uplink transmission resources.

Techniques and apparatuses are described for joint-processing of random access channel communications to improve the reliability and/or the geographic range of a random access procedure for a user equipment. Joint-processing, including joint-transmission and/or joint-reception, by a user equipment-coordination set on behalf of a single user equipment, or by an Active Coordination Set of base stations with the single user equipment, can improve the link budget of Random Access Channel communications and facilitate network access for a user equipment at a greater distance from a base station or in the face of challenging channel conditions.

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).

A transmission method and a transmission device are provided. The method includes: transmitting to a terminal a plurality of pieces of resource information for semi-static scheduling or configured grant scheduling or random access; receiving data from the terminal according to at least one of the plurality of pieces of resource information.

Embodiments of this application disclose a channel puncture mode indication method and a related apparatus, which are applied to a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, for example, a WLAN system supporting 802.11be. The method includes: An access point sends a multi-user request to send MU-RTS frame, where the MU-RTS frame includes a common information field, the common information field includes channel puncture information, and the channel puncture information indicates whether at least one 20 MHz channel is occupied.

A channel access method, a terminal device, and a network device are provided. The method includes: monitoring a request to send-downlink control channel according to first configuration information of the request to send-downlink control channel; and determining, according to a monitoring result from monitoring the request to send-downlink control channel, whether to perform channel access.
