The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication system and, more particularly, to a method and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: detecting an SSB in an unlicensed band, the SSB including an index related to a CORESET configuration; determining, on the basis of the index, an RB offset used for identifying the position of a CORESET frequency associated with the SSB; and monitoring the CORESET in the unlicensed band on the basis of the RB offset.

An optical link channel auto-negotiation method and apparatus, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The optical link channel auto-negotiation method may include at least one of the following: configuring a receiving rate, determining whether a receive clock recovered from received data by a physical layer (PHY) module is locked, and in response to determining that the receive clock recovered from the received data by the PHY module is locked, determining that the receiving rate is configured correctly; configuring a first predetermined parameter in response to determining that the receiving rate is configured correctly, determining whether code block data of the PHY module is in a synchronized state, and in response to determining that the code block data of the PHY module is in a synchronized state, determining that the first predetermined parameter is configured correctly.

A communication method is configured to increase speed of messages reception over a bandwidth limited channel such as high frequency (HF) radio. User data arriving from a high-speed network is transformed into a format suitable for transmission over the radio channel. Message packets that will take longer to reach a destination via the radio channel as compared to alternative channels, such as a fiber optic network, are rejected for radio transmission. When the packet is received, the receiver deduces message length by using information from various error handling techniques, such as forward error correction (FEC) and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) techniques. Fill data is transmitted between message packets when no data is available. The FEC and CRC information for the fill data is modified so that the fill data will fail FEC and CRC checks at the receiving station.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine that an uplink demodulation reference signal (DMRS) bundling operation associated with a physical channel has started. The UE may change an activity state of a reception operation associated with periodic downlink communications based at least in part on determining that the uplink DMRS bundling operation has started. Numerous other aspects are described.

A user device in 5G/6G is required to search for its downlink control messages across a vast array of frequencies, times, and message length variations, costing substantial computational energy that can stress many reduced-capability devices. A simpler procedure is disclosed in which the user device requests a custom search space consisting of just one (or a small number of) resource elements, recurring periodically. The user device can then receive its downlink control messages, and optionally its downlink data messages as well, starting in the custom search space. In addition, the user device can request that its identification code be placed at the beginning of each downlink control and/or data message, to further ease reception. Optionally, the length of the downlink control and/or data message may be inserted as a header or footer to each message, thereby enabling the user device to identify its messages in a stream of ongoing data.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for dynamic frozen bits of polar codes for early termination and performance improvement. A wireless device may receive a signal comprising a codeword encoded using a polar code. The wireless device may perform decoding of the codeword including at least: parity check of a first subset of decoding paths for making a decision on early termination of decoding of the codeword based on dynamic frozen bits, and generating path metrics for a second subset of the decoding paths that each pass the parity check based on the dynamic frozen bits, and performing error detection on a bit sequence corresponding to one of the second subset of the decoding paths based at part on error detection bits and the generated path metrics. The wireless device may process the information bits based on a result of the decoding.

The UE allocates a slot group including a number of consecutive slots based on an operating subcarrier spacing. The UE receives a configuration allocating blind detections over non-overlapping CCEs in the slot group among a group of component carriers of the UE using the operating subcarrier spacing. The UE performs, in the slot group, a next set of blind detections over a next set of non-overlapping CCEs on a given component carrier of the group of component carriers in accordance with the configuration, when (a) a total number of blind detections that would have been performed in the slot group by the UE does not exceed a limit of total blind detections and (b) a total number of non-overlapping CCEs that would have been monitored in the slot group by the UE does not exceed a limit of total non-overlapping CCEs.

A system and method for data coding and transmission for improving a retry mechanism are disclosed. A system and method allow the receiver to perform decoding based on increased data bits rather than by repeatedly processing the same retransmitted information, thereby reducing the number of retries and improving the performance of a communication system. Also, with the reduced number of retries, the computing costs of the electronic devices used in the communication systems are reduced. When mobile devices are often used in wireless communication, this is particularly advantageous since the battery life of these devices is significantly improved. Moreover, the system and method provide incremental data transmission and therefore optimize the utilization of channel bandwidth.

A communications device transmitting/receiving data to/from a mobile communications network includes a transmitter to transmit data to the mobile communications network via a wireless access interface, a receiver to receive data from the mobile communications network via the wireless access interface, and a controller. The wireless access interface includes plural time divided temporal units and in each temporal unit a down-link control channel and a downlink shared channel. The temporal units may be sub-frames of an LTE carrier. The controller can control the receiver to receive downlink control channel information transmitted by the mobile communications network in one or more control channel elements of the downlink control channel, and to receive the downlink control channel information by searching the downlink control channel in a predetermined sub-set of plural possible sets of control channel elements in one or more of the temporal units according to a fixed aggregation level.

The present disclosure relates to a switching method, a terminal device, a network device, and a communication system, allowing terminal devices to switch between channel monitoring configurations in a flexible manner. The method comprises: a terminal device receiving switching information, the switching information being used to instruct the terminal device to switch between monitoring configurations for a channel; and the terminal device switching between monitoring configurations for the channel.
