METHOD AND DEVICE IN NODES USED FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
A method and a device in a node for wireless communications. A first receiver receives first information; and a first transmitter transmits a first signal in a first time-frequency resource block, the first signal carrying a second bit block; herein, a first bit block is used for generating the second bit block; the first bit block comprises a first bit sub-block and a second bit sub-block, the priority corresponding to the first bit sub-block being higher than that corresponding to the second bit sub-block; the number of REs in the first time-frequency resource block used for transmitting the second bit block is no greater than a first value, and the number of bits comprised in the first bit sub-block is used to determine the first value; the number of bits comprised in the first bit sub-block and the first information are used together to determine a second value.
TECHNIQUES FOR DEMODULATION REFERENCE SIGNAL BUNDLING FOR CONFIGURED UPLINK CHANNELS
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to transmit two or more consecutive transmissions that may be used for demodulation reference signal (DMRS) bundling. If criteria for DMRS bundling are not satisfied, the UE may generate dummy data to transmit during the skipped configured grant occasion, and may maintain phase continuity across the skipped configured grant occasion and any other PUSCHs in a set of uplink transmissions. In some examples, the UE may deprioritize DMRS bundling for sets of PUSCHs during which a PUSCH is to be skipped. If criteria for DMRS bundling are not satisfied, the UE may not maintain phase continuity across the set of PUSCHs, and may refrain from transmitting any data during the CG-PUSCH occasion.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTIPLEXING MULTIPLE WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES IN RESOURCE CONSTRAINED ENVIRONMENT BASED ON SPECTRAL UTILIZATION
With advanced compute capabilities and growing convergence of wireless standards, there is requirement to run multiple wireless standards, e.g., 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi, on a single hardware together. Typical solution includes reserving some computing resources for specific wireless standards. Such a resource strategy may not be optimized or efficient according to the real needs for various wireless standards. The present disclosure presents embodiments of using a unified resource controller to take multiple scheduling inputs across various wireless standards, allocate resources among a plurality of configurable processing units, and manage hardware components for data path accelerations including forward error correction, and signal processing implementation. The multiplexing multiple wireless technologies based on spectral utilization may improve the efficiency in power consumption and hardware resources utilization.
CHANNEL ACCESS METHODS AND LISTEN-BEFORE-TALK SOLUTIONS FOR NEW RADIO OPERATION IN UNLICENSED BANDS
Methods, systems, and devices for channel access and listen-before-talk approaches for new radio operation in unlicensed bands and/or licensed bands. A gNB and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may operate in unlicensed spectrum. The gNB may perform listen-before-talk operation, and when successful, may send a downlink control channel with a slot format indication (SFI) to the WTRU. There may also be a handshaking procedure with an exchange of a request to transmit (RTT) and a request to receive (RTR). Prior to receiving the downlink channel, the WTRU may monitor search spaces at a first level, and once the downlink channel is received the WTRU may monitor search spaces at a second level. At the end of transmission, the WTRU may revert back to monitoring search spaces at the first level. In one example, the first level may be a mini-slot level and the second level may be a slot level.
METHOD AND APPARATUS OF INTERLACE BASED SIDELINK RESOURCE POOL
Methods and apparatuses for an interlace based resource pool sidelink (SL) in a wireless communication system. A method of a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a set of configurations and determining, from the set of configurations, a resource pool including a set of sub-channels. A sub-channel in the set of sub-channels includes a set of interlaces of resource blocks (RBs). An interlace in the set of interlaces includes RBs with a uniform interval of M RBs. The method further includes determining a set of resources within the resource pool allocated for a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH) or a physical sidelink feedback channel (PSFCH) and transmitting, to another UE, the PSCCH or PSFCH based on the determined set of resources.
BANDWIDTH PART CONFIGURATION FOR COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a beam used for communicating with a network entity, the beam associated with multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs) including a reference BWP with a first frequency. The UE may receive a BWP configuration from the network entity, the BWP configuration based on changing a frequency for at least one BWP of the multiple BWPs form the first frequency to a second frequency. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may identify a timing threshold associated with a BWP switching operation for multiple BWPs associated with the beam. The UE may switch from the first BWP to a second BWP during the timing threshold. The UE may communicate with the network entity according to the BWP configuration or the second BWP.
Method and user equipment for receiving downlink signal, method and base station for transmitting downlink signal
A user equipment is provided with puncturing information indicating a resource to which downlink data is punctured among time-frequency resources to which the downlink data is allocated. The user equipment may decode the downlink data received in the time-frequency resource on the basis of the puncturing information. The downlink data may be mapped to the time-frequency resource by a combined method of a time-first resource mapping method and a frequency-first resource mapping method, or by a distributed resource mapping method.
Apparatus and Methods for Transmission and Reception of Data in Multi-Antenna Systems
Methods and apparatus adapted to address asymmetric conditions in a multi-antenna system. In one embodiment, the multi-antenna system comprises a wireless (e.g., 3G cellular) multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) system, and the methods and apparatus efficiently utilize transmitter and receiver resources based at least in part on a detected asymmetric condition. If an asymmetric condition is detected by the transmitter on any given data stream, the transmitter can decide to utilize only a subset of the available resources for that stream. Accordingly, the signal processing resources for that data stream are adapted to mirror the reduction in resources that are necessary for transmission. The transmitter signals the receiver that it will only be using a subset of the resources available, and the receiver adapts its operation according to the signaling data it receives. The multi-antenna system can therefore reduce power consumption as well as increasing spectral efficiency on the network.

The mobile terminals of first type transmit random access request messages to a base station of the network requesting uplink radio resources on a first random access channel. The mobile terminals of second type transmit random access request messages to the base station of the network requesting uplink radio resources on a second random access channel on sub-carriers within the second sub-carrier group.
