Provided is a base station capable of suppressing increase of overhead of allocation result report in frequency scheduling in multi-carrier communication and obtaining a sufficient frequency diversity effect. In the base station, encoding units (101-1 to 101-n) encode data (#1 to #n) to mobile stations (#1 to #n), modulation units (102-1 to 102-n) modulate the encoded data so as to generate a data symbol, a scheduler (103) performs frequency scheduling according to a CQI from each mobile station so as to uniformly allocate data to the respective mobile stations for a part of RB extracted from a plurality of RB, and an SCCH generation unit (105) generates control information (SCCH information) to report the allocation result in the scheduler (103) to the respective mobile stations.

Systems and methods are provided for dynamically assigning physical resource blocks (PRBs) based on available bandwidth. At least a first amount of bandwidth that is carrier controlled is determined. A standardized bandwidth that is greater than the first amount of bandwidth is determined. A bandwidth differential is determined as the difference between he standardized bandwidth and the first amount of bandwidth. Then, PRBs are assigned corresponding to the first amount of bandwidth while zero PRBs are assigned to the bandwidth differential.

Described are examples for providing intent based network slice management using a management data analytics function (MDAF) to predict deficiencies. A network management system receives an intent for a network slice constituent. The network management system configures computing resources for the network slice constituent to satisfy the intent based on expected performance of the computing resources. The network management system receives feedback with respect to actual performance of the network slice constituent. The network management system determines, based on analysis of the feedback by a management data analytics function (MDAF), a predicted deficiency of the network slice constituent not being able to satisfy the intent. The network management system modifies the configuration of the computing resources based on the feedback and the predicted deficiency to satisfy the intent.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for radio link monitoring (RLM) implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) are provided. A representative method for RLM includes mapping, by the WTRU, one or more RLM-RS resources to at least one BLER threshold of a plurality of BLER thresholds. The representative method also includes, for each respective RLM resource that is mapped, determining, by the WTRU, a BLER of the respective RLM-RS resource, and comparing the determined BLER of the respective RLM-RS resource with the at least one mapped BLER threshold associated with the respective RLM-RS resource. The representative method further includes generating, based on one or more of the comparisons, a set of in-sync indications and/or a set of out-of-sync indications, and indicating, by the WTRU, one or more attributes associated with the set of in-sync indications and/or the set of out-of-sync indications.

In one embodiment, a system includes a processor to determine a number P of how many multi-user groups are to be formed to promote airtime fairness for N client devices in which each one client device of the N client devices will be equally represented in the to-be-formed multi-user groups and in which each of the to-be-formed groups is to be actively considered by a scheduler for transmission purposes, the N client devices being associated with N wireless connections with an access point having multi-user simultaneous communication multiple-input multiple-output technology, define P multi-user groups with each one multi-user group of the P multi-user groups having a capacity for M client devices from the N client devices, N being greater than M, and allocate the N client devices to the P multi-user groups with each one client devices of the N client devices being equally represented in the P multi-user groups.

A computer implemented method of allocating a set of communications network resources to resource consumers in a digital communications system can include generating a set of multiple allocation schemes; iteratively applying a genetic algorithm to the set of allocation schemes to generate, at each iteration, a new set of allocation schemes as a generation of allocation schemes based on a preceding generation; and, responsive to a predetermined stopping condition for the iteration, assigning resource consumers to resources in the communications system in accordance with an allocation scheme in a most recent generation determined to satisfy a ranking condition.

Scheduling of transmission opportunities to prevent collisions is contemplated. The transmission opportunities may be scheduled for terminal units where transmissions of one terminal unit may collide or otherwise interfere with transmissions of another terminal unit. The transmission opportunities may be scheduled according to a time-frequency grid to prevent collisions in a time domain and/or a frequency domain.

According to one embodiment, a wireless communication device includes a transmitter configured to transmit a first frame including information to specify a plurality of frequency components; and controlling circuitry configured to determine whether a second frame is received via each of the plurality of frequency components. The transmitter is configured to transmit a third frame including first information concerning a first value range which is used to determine whether to respond to the first frame, the first value range being dependent on a number of frequency components via which the second frame has been received.
