Sharing of frequency generator settings in a network are disclosed. In a particular implementation, a method of wireless communication includes determining, by a user equipment (UE), a first frequency setting for a frequency generator of a UE. The first frequency setting is associated with a first frequency. The method includes modifying the first frequency setting to generate a second frequency setting for the frequency generator. The second frequency setting is associated with a second frequency that is different from the first frequency. The method also includes generating a message that indicates the second frequency setting. The method further includes transmitting the message from the UE to a base station.

A user terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a transmission section that transmits an uplink control channel over multiple slots; and a control section that, when changing an active Bandwidth Part (BWP) during the transmission of the uplink control channel, controls the transmission of the uplink control channel after the BWP changing. According to the one aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to prevent a communication throughput from lowering even when a BWP is switched.

Methods and apparatus for providing quasi-licensed spectrum access within a prescribed area or venue, including to users or subscribers of one or more Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). In one embodiment, the quasi-licensed spectrum utilizes 3.5 GHz CBRS (Citizens Broadband Radio Service) spectrum allocated by a Federal or commercial SAS (Spectrum Access System) to a managed content delivery network that includes one or more wireless access nodes (e.g., CBSDs) in data communication with a controller, and the core(s) of the MNO network(s). In one variant, the controller dynamically allocates (i) spectrum within the area or venue within CBRS bands, and (ii) MNO “roaming” users or subscribers to CBRS bands (e.g., via extant LTE-TD technology). In one particular implementation, the managed network comprises a Multiple Systems Operator (MSO) network such as a cable or satellite network, and the MSO and MNO coordinate to implement user-specific and/or data-specific policies for the roaming MNO subscribers.

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to communication. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a network device transmits configuration information for one or more frequency hopping modes to a terminal device. The terminal device determines which frequency hopping mode is used and also determines a plurality of frequency hopping positions based on the configuration information. In this way, it can have more frequency hopping positions which achieve more frequency diversity gain and benefit to coverage enhancement. Further, the frequency hopping frequency is configured more flexible.

A method for configuring frequency hopping includes: determining a frequency-hopping related parameter; and transmitting data on at least one frequency band resource based on the frequency-hopping related parameter. At least two different transmission channels in a same frequency band may be based on a same or partially same frequency-hopping related parameter. Frequency-hopping related parameters may include a frequency hopping pattern or a frequency band switching time of a terminal.

A reduced capacity (redcap) device may perform initial uplink communications, including transmitting a redcap physical uplink control channel (R-PUCCH), over an initial uplink bandwidth part (BWP) shared with a second device, the initial uplink BWP having a bandwidth (BW) larger than a maximum BW supported by the redcap device and smaller than or equal to a maximum BW supported by the second device. Frequency hopping operation for the redcap device may be supported for the R-PUCCH transmission through frequency division multiplexing and/or time division multiplexing settings for the resources used for the R-PUCCH transmission, and for PUCCH transmission by the second device. Restrictions may be implemented to create a gap for redcap devices to perform RF retuning between a physical RACH transmission and a subsequent physical control channel (e.g. PDCCH) monitoring for random access reception when the frequency gap is larger than the maximum BW supported by the redcap device.
