A method and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) are disclosed. The WTRU comprises a receiver, a transmitter, and a processor. The WTRU receives a system information block (SIB) including a parameter indicating a number of transmissions for a random access message and a parameter indicating transmission duration information for the random access message. The WTRU transmits a random access preamble and a random access message, wherein the random access message is transmitted for a duration indicated by the parameter indicating transmission duration information for the random access message. The WTRU retransmits the random access message, wherein the random access message is retransmitted a number of times indicated by the parameter indicating the number of transmissions for the random access message and for the duration indicated by the parameter indicating transmission duration information for the random access message.

The present specification proposes a technical feature related to a wake-up radio (WUR) STA. Specifically, proposed is an operation of updating a parameter related to an operation of a WUR mode. For example, the WUR STA may update a parameter related to the WUR mode by receiving an unsolicited frame from an AP while maintaining the WUR mode. The received frame may have a preset action type.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device may receive a first reference signal from a second device and may generate a channel status feedback message based on the first reference signal. The first device may bundle the second reference signal and the channel status feedback message and may transmit the second reference signal and the channel status feedback to the second device. The first device may initiate a data transfer with the second device based on transmitting the second reference signal and the channel status feedback message.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a resource grant for at least one sidelink channel, wherein the resource grant indicates an uplink resource for transmitting sidelink transmission acknowledgement messages. The UE may transmit, to the base station and on the uplink resource, an indication of at least one status associated with a listen-before-talk procedure used on the at least one sidelink channel. Numerous other aspects are provided.

The present disclosure relates to data transmission methods and apparatus. One example method includes sending, by a radio access network device, a first transport block to a terminal device, where the first transport block includes at least two code blocks, the at least two code blocks are divided into at least two different code block sets, and each code block set includes at least one of the at least two code blocks, and receiving, by the radio access network device, first feedback information sent by the terminal device, where the first feedback information includes at least two pieces of feedback information corresponding to the first transport block, and the at least two pieces of feedback information are respectively used to indicate receiving statuses of the at least two code block sets.

Aspects of the present disclose provide various methods and apparatuses for communicating, controlling, and configuring component carrier and bandwidth part (BWP). A scheduling entity receives a capability report from a user equipment (UE). The capability report indicates a capability of the UE to utilize at least one of carrier aggregation (CA) or one or more bandwidth parts. The scheduling entity transmits a command to the UE to reconfigure at least one of a CA configuration or a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration. The scheduling entity determines an anticipated response timing of an acknowledgment (ACK) of the command based on the capability report received from the UE. The scheduling entity receives the ACK according to the anticipated response timing.

A communication method of performing Bandwidth Part (BWP) switching between a non-dormant BWP and a dormant BWP is provided. The communication method is performed by a UE configured by a Base Station (BS) with a serving cell and a dormancy group to which the serving cell belongs. The communication method includes activating the non-dormant BWP as an activated BWP for the serving cell; initializing a first Random Access (RA) procedure on the serving cell; receiving, from the BS, one of a first indication for BWP switching for the serving cell and a second indication for BWP switching for the dormancy group while the first RA procedure is ongoing; switching the activated BWP for the serving cell, based on one of the first indication and the second indication, from the non-dormant BWP to the dormant BWP; and stopping the first RA procedure after receiving one of the first indication and the second indication.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and device for performing communication. The method comprises: determining a target transmission pattern from a set of candidate transmission patterns, wherein each of the candidate transmission patterns contains a DL transmission part and/or a UL transmission part, and the candidate transmission patterns differ from one another in terms of time durations of the respective DL transmission parts and/or the UL transmission parts; and performing communication between a network device and a terminal device by using the target transmission pattern.

Techniques for transmitting and receiving beamformed transmission(s) of a common search space of a DL (Downlink) control channel are discussed. One example embodiment that can be employed at a UE (User Equipment) comprises processing circuitry configured to: select a set of receive beamforming weights for a DL (Downlink) control channel; and decode one or more control channel sets from a common search space of the DL control channel, wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets is mapped to an associated symbol of one or more symbols of a slot, wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets has an associated transmit beamforming, and wherein each control channel set of the one or more control channel sets comprises a common set of control information.

Wireless communication between a user equipment (UE) and a base station may occur on unlicensed spectrum. When wirelessly communicating on unlicensed spectrum, there is an expectation that there may be interference from others devices also transmitting on the same resources in the unlicensed spectrum. Systems and methods are therefore disclosed that aim to facilitate wireless communication in unlicensed spectrum. In some embodiments, systems and method are disclosed that are directed to the transmission of uplink control information (UCI) in unlicensed spectrum. The UCI may be or include hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. The HARQ feedback may correspond to a downlink data transmission that was also sent on unlicensed spectrum.
