A wireless device receives, from a base station, a radio resource control message comprising at least one packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) configuration parameter indicating Ethernet header compression for a data radio bearer. The wireless device receives, from the base station and based on the at least one PDCP configuration parameter, mapping information between: a source medium access control (MAC) address and a destination MAC address; and a corresponding header compression index. The wireless device receives a compressed Ethernet packet: compressed based on the mapping information; and comprising the corresponding header compression index.

A method of wireless communication includes, in response to a trigger event detected at a first base station, performing, by the first base station, a scan of a plurality of frequencies for a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission from a second base station. The plurality of frequencies correspond to a plurality of global synchronization channel numbers (GSCNs) associated with the first base station and the second base station. The first base station is associated with a first coverage area that is at least partially within a second coverage area associated with the second base station. The method further includes transmitting, by the first base station, one or more SSBs having an SSB configuration that is based on a result of the scan.

A Node-B sends a polling message to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The WTRU sends an uplink synchronization burst in response to the polling message without contention. The Node-B estimates an uplink timing shift based on the synchronization burst and sends an uplink timing adjustment command to the WTRU. The WTRU then adjusts uplink timing based on the uplink timing adjustment command. Alternatively, the Node-B may send a scheduling message for uplink synchronization to the WTRU. The WTRU may send a synchronization burst based on the scheduling message. Alternatively, the WTRU may perform contention-based uplink synchronization after receiving a synchronization request from the Node-B. The WTRU may enter an idle state instead of performing a handover to a new cell when the WTRU moves to the new cell. A discontinuous reception (DRX) interval for the WTRU may be set based on activity of the WTRU.

The disclosure provides a method and a device in a communication node for wireless communications. The communication node first receives first information and then receives a first radio signal; only X1 bit(s) in a first bit block is(are) used for generating the first radio signal, the first bit block is obtained as an output of channel coding of a first code block, the first code block includes a positive integer number of bit(s), and the first bit block includes a positive integer number of bit(s); when channel decoding fails, at least X2 bit(s) in the first bit block can be used for decoding of the first code block with combining, the first information is used for determining the X2 bit(s), and the X2 is a positive integer. The disclosure reduces requirements on a buffer and reduces complexity.

The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a communication node used for wireless communications. A communication node first receives first information and second information; and then transmits a first radio signal; and monitors a first signaling in a first time window; the first information is used to determine a time length of the first time window, an interval between an end for a transmission of the first radio signal and a start of the first time window is a first time interval, and the second information is used to determine a time length of the first time interval; a bit output by a first bit block through channel coding is used to generate the first radio signal, the first bit block carries a first identity, and a second identity is used for monitoring the first signaling. The present disclosure helps improve the performance of random access.

Methods, devices, systems, and means for selection of a coordinating user equipment, UE, in a user equipment-coordination set, UECS, that facilitates selection of the coordinating UE by the UEs in the UECS are described herein. Sharing of the role of coordinating UE by UEs in the UECS can be scheduled in a round-robin manner. Selection criteria can be used to determine which one or more UEs in the UECS will offer better performance in the role of coordinating UE.

A method may be performed by a network entity of a wireless communication network. A first PDU session may be established for a wireless terminal (UE) using a first NodeB base station (MgNB) and a first user plane function entity (UPF1). A second PDU session may be established for the wireless terminal (UE) using a second NodeB base station (SgNB) and a second user plane function entity (UPF2). The first and second PDU sessions may be established for the wireless terminal (UE) using the first and second NodeB base stations so that the first and second PDU sessions are provided concurrently using dual connectivity DC to provide redundant data paths for communication of data for the wireless terminal (UE) through the wireless communication network.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for associating a wireless communication device such as a wireless station (STA) of a STA multi-link device (MLD) with an access point (AP) MLD that includes a first AP associated with a first communication link of the AP MLD and includes one or more secondary APs associated with one or more respective secondary communication links of the first AP MLD. The first AP includes one or more virtual APs, and the first AP and the one or more virtual APs of the first AP belong to a first multiple basic service set identifier (BSSID) set associated with the first communication link. The AP MLD transmits a frame including a first element carrying discovery information for the first AP and the one or more virtual APs belonging to the first multiple BSSID set, and including a second element carrying discovery information for the one or more secondary APs of the first AP MLD associated with the one or more respective secondary communication links of the first AP MLD.

The apparatus includes at least one processor; and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to duplicate base station computation of an identifier value for a user equipment, and search for one or more control channel transmissions incorporating an identifier value matching the identifier value.
