Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station using a beamforming configuration, according to a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) configuration. The UE may receive a message including a TCI configuration. The UE may determine based on the TCI configuration, a TCI pool for a TCI state type of a set of TCI state types and a set of CCs. The UE may then perform the wireless communication via a directional beam based on the TCI pool for the TCI state type and the set of component carriers (CCs).

Provided are a data transmission method and apparatus, a transmitter, a receiver and a storage medium. The method includes determining the number N of resource units and corresponding N resource units, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; acquiring M data blocks to be transmitted, M is an integer greater than or equal to 1, where each data block of the M data blocks includes information for indicating the number N of resource units and a position of at least one of the N resource units; and transmitting the M data blocks on the N resource units.

A method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided for improved transport block size (TBS) indication and channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting for lower target block error ratios (BLERs). In an example implementation, the method may include a user equipment configuring a plurality of transport block sizes, activating one or more transport block sizes of the plurality of transport block sizes, and determining a first transport block size from an indication received from a network node when more than one transport block sizes of the one or more transport block sizes are activated. The method may further include determining, a second transport block size, the second transport block size determined based at least on the one or more transport block sizes that are activated and the first transport block size, and receiving a downlink transmission from the network node with the second transport block size. In an additional example implementation, the method may include a user equipment determining a channel quality indicator based at least on a physical downlink shared channel received from a network node and transmitting the channel quality indicator to the network node.

The present disclosure provides a method and a device in a communication node for wireless communications. The communication node first receives first information, the first information being used to determine a target time-frequency resource pool; and then monitors a first signaling; after that, when the first signaling is detected, the communication node receives a first radio signal; a first code block is used to generated the first radio signal; time-frequency resources occupied by the first signaling comprise a first time-frequency resource, while time-frequency resources occupied by the first radio signal comprise a second time-frequency resource; whether the first radio signal can be excluded from being used for combined decoding for the first code block is dependent on whether the first time-frequency resource belongs to the target time-frequency resource pool. The present disclosure manages to improve the flexibility of buffer configurations.

Provided are at least a method and apparatus to perform sending, by a user equipment, towards a network node of a communication network a gap request or receiving, by a network node, from a user equipment of a communication network a gap request, wherein the gap request comprises user equipment information indicating at least one flag indicating that the user equipment can be configured to skip at least one gap occurrence, based on whether at least one of a predefined condition or at least one condition provided by the communication network is met; and communicating information comprising a gap configuration along with conditions for determining whether the network node and the user equipment should be configured to skip at least one gap occurrence based on whether at least one of a predefined condition or at least one condition provided by the communication network is met.

A wireless communication terminal for wireless communication is disclosed. The wireless communication terminal includes: a transceiver; and a processor. The processor is configured to transmit a non-legacy physical layer frame including a legacy signaling field including information decodable by a legacy wireless communication terminal by using the transceiver.

According to certain embodiments, a method is disclosed for operating a user equipment. The method comprises transmitting or receiving a transmission on at least one of the component carriers, wherein the at least one component carrier is associated with a slot duration that corresponds to a numerology of the component carrier. The transmitting or receiving on the at least one of the component carriers is based on a relation between a number of information bits on the at least one of the component carriers over one or more reference slot durations and a reference data rate.

The present disclosure generally relates to systems, methods and software for quantitatively evaluating an improvement on an active communication network when an impairment, such as a developing impairment, is addressed by one or more repair options via proactive network maintenance.

With advanced compute capabilities and growing convergence of wireless standards, it is desirable to run multiple wireless standards, e.g., 4G, 5G NR, and Wi-Fi, on a single signal processing system, e.g., a system on a chip (SoC). Such an implementation may require simultaneously receiving and transmitting signals corresponding to each wireless standard and also signal processing according to respective requirements. Typical solutions involve providing separate hardware blocks specific to each wireless standard, which in turn requires more area on the SoC and consumes more power. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a unified hardware that may process signals across different standards in both a transmitting direction and a receiving direction simultaneously.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to performing subband-based random access and/or subband-based scheduling request in a network are provided. A first wireless communication device receives a communication configuration indicating one or more subbands for transmitting a signal including at least one of a random access preamble sequence or a scheduling request. The first wireless communication device performs a clear channel assessment (CCA) on each subband of the one or more subbands. The first wireless communication device transmits the signal using at least one subband of the one or more subbands based on a result of the CCA.
