A method and system for communicating with wireless messaging enabled door locks is disclosed. The method includes advertising availability of the door lock via wireless messaging for a first period of time; triggering a message send event; determining a destination node; connecting to the destination node via Bluetooth; sending the message to the destination node; and entering a low power state for a second period of time, wherein the second period of time is longer than the first period of time; wherein the destination node is chosen from a second door lock or a computing system.

This disclosure describes systems, devices and techniques for improving the longevity of battery life in a second device. An example first device includes communication circuitry configured to communicate with the second device and one or more sensors configured to sense parameters associated with the first device. The first device includes processing circuitry configured to determine a first time period when a likelihood of successful communications with the second device is higher than a second time period based on the sensed parameters, and control the communication circuitry to communicate with the second device during the first time period and refrain from communicating with the second device during the second time period.

The present disclosure relates to transmitting and receiving a beam report at a UE and a base station. The base station can configure a cDRX cycle with the UE. Also, the UE can wake up during an off period of the cDRX cycle. The UE can also compare a first metric of at least one of a plurality of candidate beams and a second metric of a current beam for communication with the base station. Additionally, the UE can transmit a beam report to the base station, during the off period, based on the comparison of the first metric of the at least one of the plurality of candidate beams and the second metric of the current beam. The UE can also select, during the off period of the cDRX cycle, the at least one of the plurality of candidate beams for communication with the base station.

Methods and apparatus for for adapting one or more parameters related to a number of active beams used by a wireless device. An example method generally includes operating in a first mode that involves a first number of active beams for at least one of transmitting or receiving, and taking one or more actions to adapt one or more parameters related to a number of active beams used by the user equipment (UE) to change to a second number of active beams. Another example method generally includes communicating with a UE operating in a first mode that involves a first number of active beams for at least one of transmitting or receiving; and taking one or more actions to adapt one or more parameters related to a number of active beams used by the UE to change to a second number of active beams.

A method for partial sensing is performed by a terminal device and includes: determining a sensing condition based on a first time unit and first information; and determining a second time unit to be sensed based on the sensing condition; wherein the first time unit is a time unit where a candidate time-frequency resource for resource selection for a first sidelink transmission is located, and the first information includes at least one of: an aperiodic resource reservation or a resource reservation with a period Ts as 0 for the first sidelink transmission; or a periodic resource reservation or a resource reservation with the period Ts not as 0 for the first sidelink transmission,

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a notification of a change to multicast broadcast (MB) control information associated with at least one MB service to which the UE is subscribed, the MB control information being included in an MB control channel (MBCCH) scheduled by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) communication addressed to an MB radio network temporary identifier (MB-RNTI); and monitor one or more resources of the MBCCH to receive updated MB control information based at least in part on receiving the notification of the change to the MB control information. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Device comprising a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications receiver configured to determine, using V2X communications, that a vehicle is a safety-relevant vehicle posing a potential danger to a vulnerable road user (VRU), and to receive only transmisssions of the safety-relevant vehicle and skip reception of transmissions of non-safety-relevant vehicles, thereby lowering V2X reception power consumption of a device carried by the VRU, and methods for used thereof.

A message transmitting/receiving apparatus and method and a communication system. The message transmitting method includes: determining a message type of a message to be transmitted to one or more user equipments; scrambling control information of the message by using an identity to which the message type corresponds; wherein, different identities correspond to different message types; and transmitting data information of the message and the scrambled control information to the one or more user equipment.

An Ethernet physical layer transceiver and a communication device are provided. The Ethernet physical layer transceiver includes processing circuitry configured to transmit a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) request packet to a server after entering a sleep mode.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, provided is a method by which a first apparatus performs sidelink communication. In one example, provided is a method by which the first device saves power for sidelink communication in NR V2X.
