Methods and systems are provided to allow signals for multiple service slices using sub-bands that are part of a system bandwidth. In some cases the signals for a given service slice are self-contained within the sub-band in the sense that channels for initial access and ongoing communications are all located within the sub-band. A receiver that is only accessing the given service slice need only be capable of receiving the sub-band. The method may involve, in a first sub-band predefined for a first service slice, transmitting first initial access information for a first service associated with the first service slice. The method further involves, in a second sub-band predefined for a second service slice, transmitting second initial access information for a second service associated with the second service slice. The second sub-band is different from the first sub-band.

Embodiments include methods and/or procedures for a user equipment (UE) to activate a secondary cell (SCell) for operating with the UE's primary serving cell (PSC). Embodiments include determining a receiver activity rate for the UE. Embodiments also include receiving, from the PSC, an activation request identifying the SCell. Embodiments also include activating the SCell based on the receiver activity rate. Other embodiments include complementary methods and/or procedures performed by a network node arranged to communicate with one or more UEs via a PSC and at least one selectively activated SCell. Other embodiments include UEs and network nodes configured to perform operations corresponding to various ones of the methods and/or procedures, as well as computer-readable media embodying such operations.

The present disclosure provides techniques for communicating feedback for data transmissions over a sidelink in a wireless communication system. For example, devices and methods are provided for wireless communication by a first wireless device. In one example, the first wireless device determines that only one of either feedback can be transmitted to a second wireless device or a second communication can be communicated, wherein the feedback is indicative of whether a data transmission is successfully decoded, and based on that prioritizes one of the feedback or the second communication. In another example, the first wireless device determines that only one of either feedback can be received from the second wireless device or a second communication can be communicated, wherein the feedback is indicative of whether the data transmission is successfully decoded by the second wireless device, and based on that prioritizes one of the feedback or the second communication.

A method includes: receiving, by a terminal, a MPDCCH, where the MPDCCH includes a quantity of repeated sending times of the MPDCCH and timing indication information; determining a time domain location of a first subframe based on the quantity of repeated sending times of the MPDCCH, where the first subframe is the last subframe that carries the MPDCCH; determining a time domain location of a second subframe based on the timing indication information and the time domain location of the first subframe, where the second subframe is a start subframe that carries a PUSCH corresponding to the MPDCCH, a resource allocation granularity of the PUSCH corresponding to the MPDCCH is a target resource unit, and a quantity of subcarriers occupied by the target resource unit in frequency domain is less than or equal to 12; and sending, in the second subframe, the PUSCH corresponding to the MPDCCH.

A communication method and a communications apparatus, the method including determining a first determining result when a first physical uplink channel and a second physical uplink channel overlap in time domain, where the first determining result includes a determining result about whether first data is intended to be sent, the first physical uplink channel includes a dynamic grant physical uplink channel, and the second physical uplink channel includes a configured grant physical uplink channel, and determining, in the first physical uplink channel and the second physical uplink channel based on the first determining result, a target physical uplink channel that is intended to be sent.

According to an aspect, there is provided a terminal device configured to perform the following. Initially, the terminal device monitors physical downlink control channel, PDCCH, transmissions according to a first set of rules. The first set of rules comprises rules for performing monitoring over at least two beam pair links, each beam pair link corresponding to a control resource set, CORESET, with a different active transmission configuration indication, TCI, state. The terminal device receives, using a first CORESET with a first active TCI state from an access node, an indication for limiting monitoring and consequently limits monitoring of PDCCH transmissions associated with CORESETs having a TCI state other than the first active TCI state for a period of time.

A method for a terminal transmitting aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI), and a device using the method are provided. The method is characterised by: receiving a higher layer signal that configures a plurality of PUCCH resource sets; receiving DCI indicating one of PUCCH resources that are included in the plurality of PUCCH resource sets; and transmitting the A-CSI using a PUCCH resource that is determined based on the higher layer signal and the DCI, wherein the terminal selects one PUCCH resource set of the plurality from PUCCH resource sets based on a CSI process to which the A-CSI is transmitted, and transmits the A-CSI using the PUCCH resource that is indicated by the DCI of PUCCH resources that are included in the selected single PUCCH resource set.

Bandwidth part (BWP) configurations supporting various communication approaches (e.g., full duplex and/or half duplex operations) are described. Full duplex (FD) frequency-based BWP configurations may, for example, be configured as a subset of defined BWP resources for supporting full duplex operation by base stations and/or user equipments (UEs). Usable bandwidth of a FD frequency-based BWP configuration may be selected from half duplex frequency-based BWPs in legacy BWPs. Bandwidths of usable BWPs for a FD frequency-based BWP configuration may be selected so as to be non-overlapping in frequency. Transition between configurations and modes (e.g., between full duplex frequency-based BWP configurations, between half duplex and full duplex modes, etc.) may be managed to avoid periods in which a communication device cannot perform any uplink or downlink transmissions due to switching between defined BWP configurations, or otherwise reduces BWP switching time. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Wake-up signal (WUS) downlink control information (DCI) may be configured to convey a wake-up indication as well as UE wake-up behavior configuration information. For example, WUS DCI may include one or more wake-up indications for one or more UEs via wake-up indication bits (e.g., wake-up indication bits may be conveyed in locations of the WUS DCI associated with monitoring indices of the one or more UEs to be activated). For example, WUS DCI may be encoded to include a wake-up indication and an indication of behavior configuration information for a group of one or more UEs. UE wake-up behavior configuration information may indicate some BWP to activate, may trigger a CSI report, etc. A UE may decode the wake-up indication and the wake-up behavior configuration information based on a monitoring index and the WUS configuration.

A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE), the UE receives a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format from a base station. The UE applies a timing offset to information indicated by the DCI format.
