Cell acquisition is disclosed in frequency diversity configured for frame based equipment (FBE) access, such as using opportunistic frequency switching. A user equipment (UE) begins cell acquisition by synchronizing to an available communication channel of an available cell in response to detection of a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with a network on which the UE communicates. The UE receives system information associated with the available cell from a serving base station, wherein the system information includes identification of at least: a link indicator identifying linked communication channels available for opportunistic switching, sensing occasion offsets for each of the linked channels, and access information associated with each of the linked channels. The UE measures a channel quality for each available channel. The base station transmits this system information on each of the linked channels and then monitors the allocated random access resources for signals from the UEs.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a wireless communication system. A method for receiving a PDCCH, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to a control resource set (CORESET); and receiving, from the base station, a PDCCH within the CORESET. The configuration information may include transmission control indicator (TCI) state information related to the CORESET, the TCI state information may include information about one or more reference signals which are in a quasi-co-location (QCL) relationship with one or more antenna ports of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PDCCH, and a plurality of TCI states may be configured for the CORESET.

A terminal apparatus (20) includes: a measurement unit (203) configured to measure at least one of a latency when a wireless signal is transmitted to a base station and a jitter of the wireless signal; a data processing unit (201) configured to generate information including a result of the measurement; and a wireless communication processing unit (202) configured to transmit the information to the base station.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may determine the subcarrier spacing and carrier frequency used by a user equipment (UE) for communicating with the base station. The base station may select a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration for the UE that is based on the subcarrier spacing and carrier frequency used by the UE. The SRS configuration may define the temporal spacing between repetitions of the SRS. The base station may indicate the SRS configuration to the UE so that the UE transmits repetitions of the SRS according to the SRS configuration. The base station may measure the SRS repetitions from the UE to determine the Doppler frequency for the uplink channel. The base station may use the uplink Doppler frequency to select a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) configuration for the UE.

A radio receiver includes a channel estimator processing circuit including: a feature extractor configured to extract one or more features from a received signal, the features including a channel correlation estimated based on a reference signal in a current slot, the estimated channel correlation indicating a rate of change of a wireless channel over time; and a Doppler spread estimator configured to estimate a Doppler spread of the wireless channel by supplying the features to one or more Doppler shift predictors trained on training data across a training signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) range and across a training Doppler shift range, each Doppler shift predictor being trained on a portion of the training data corresponding to a different portion of the training data.

Techniques for improving the efficiency of transmitting data between devices are described. In an example, a first device transmits first data to a second device during a first time interval, whereby the second device is configured to communicate with the first device in a half-duplex mode. During a second time interval, the first device receives second data from the second device. The first device then determines that the second device transmitted the second data during a third time interval that is between the first time and the second time, and during which a reception of the first data by the second device is expected. The first device then retransmits the first data based at least in part on determining that the second device transmitted the second data during the third time interval.

An origination device transmits a “received data signal” to a signal forwarding device. The “received data signal” comprises a first set of data. The origination device also transmits at least one “received control signal” to the signal forwarding device and to a destination device. The at least one “received control signal” comprises a first set of control information and a second set of control information. The first and second sets of control information are both associated with the first set of data. The first set of control information contains instructions pertaining to the signal forwarding device processing the first set of data. The second set of control information contains instructions pertaining to the destination device processing the first set of data. The signal forwarding device transmits a “forwarded signal” to the destination device. The “forwarded signal” contains forwarded data, based on the first set of data.

The UE may then communicate the first data transmission via the first beam using the first waveform
