Provided in embodiments of the present disclosure are a wireless communication method, a terminal device, and a network device. The wireless communication method includes: determining, by a terminal device, a start time of a time window for random access according to a first Round Trip Time (RTT) offset value, or determining, by the terminal device, the start time of the time window for random access according to a first RTT offset value group. Each RTT offset value in the first RTT offset value group corresponds to an RTT interval, respectively.

A terminal includes a receiving unit that receives control information transmitted on a second cell, the control information including information used to assign a resource for a downlink shared channel reception or a resource for an uplink shared channel transmission in a first cell; and a control unit that determines at least one of a measurement of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a measurement of a tracking reference signal (TRS), a transmission of a sounding reference signal (SRS), or a transmission of a physical random access channel (PRACH) is triggered, regardless of a content of information other than the information used to assign the resource included in the control information.

A method and an apparatus for transmitting a random access signal. The method includes receiving configuration information, wherein the configuration information indicates a random access preamble length, a random access signal subcarrier spacing, and a data subcarrier spacing, determining a subcarrier quantity parameter k based on at least one of the random access preamble length, the random access signal subcarrier spacing, or the data subcarrier spacing, generating a random access signal based on the subcarrier quantity parameter k, and sending the random access signal.

Embodiments of this application provide a communication method and a communication apparatus. According to the method, a terminal device receives configuration information from a network device. The terminal device determines, in a first parameter set based on the configuration information, a parameter corresponding to a random access preamble. The terminal sends the random access preamble to the network device based on the parameter corresponding to the random access preamble and the configuration information.

Provided are an initial access method, a controlled device and a controlling device, which can realize initial access in short-range communication without depending on a PRACH preamble. The initial access method comprises: a controlled device acquiring an initial access resource; the controlled device sending, on the initial access resource, initial access information to a controlling device; and the controlled device monitoring access feedback information sent by the controlling device, wherein the access feedback information is used for indicating that the controlled device has successfully accessed the controlling device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may determine to operate in accordance with an energy saving mode in which the base station only transmits remaining minimum system information (RMSI) on-demand or reduces transmission of RMSI with respect to when the base station is operating outside of the energy saving mode. A user equipment (UE) may detect the base station that is operating in an energy saving mode. The UE may transmit a request for the base station to transmit the RMSI to the UE, where the UE may transmit the request to the energy saving base station or to a serving base station of the UE. The UE may receive, from the base station operating in the energy saving mode and responsive to the request, a message including the remaining minimum system information.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive configuration information indicating at least one of: a configuration for requesting repetition for an uplink shared channel transmitted after receiving a contention-free random access (CFRA) message, or a configuration for dropping one or more repetitions of the uplink shared channel. The UE may request the repetition for the uplink shared channel if the configuration information indicates the configuration for requesting repetition. The UE may transmit the uplink shared channel based at least in part on the configuration information. Numerous other aspects are described.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a signaling mechanism associated with activating a secondary cell (SCell) for uplink control information (UCI), including under circumstances in which the SCell is deactivated and belongs to a timing advance group (TAG) lacking a valid timing advance (TA) value. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) and one or more components of a network entity may employ a signaling mechanism for establishing an SCell as a PUCCH-SCell in scenarios in which the PUCCH-SCell belongs to a secondary TAG (sTAG) lacking a valid TA value. The signaling mechanism may include signaling to directly provide the network entity with beam measurement information associated with one or more SCells of the sTAG or may include singling that the network entity may use to derive the beam measurement information associated with the one or more SCells of the sTAG.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive first information indicating a first set of parameters associated with repetition of a second random access message (RAM) associated with a random access channel (RACH) procedure. The UE may transmit, using the first set of parameters, an initial RAM in association with the RACH procedure. Numerous other aspects are described.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station may extract, from a neighboring base station with cell coverage that overlaps cell coverage of the base station, information associated with user equipment (UE) transmission of MsgA messages. The base station may select, based at least in part on the information, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource to allocate to a UE for transmission of a MsgA message. The base station may transmit, to the UE, an allocation of the PUSCH resource. Numerous other aspects are described.
