Aspects of the disclosure relate to a method of operating a scheduled entity for wireless communication. In some aspects, the scheduled entity detects a fluctuation in a beam strength of at least one transmit beam from a scheduling entity. The scheduled entity transmits a first message to the scheduling entity, the first message indicating at least the fluctuation in the beam strength of the at least one transmit beam from the scheduling entity.

Offloading of location computation from a location server to an access point through the use of projections on base phase vectors may be provided. First, an Access Point (AP) may receive a set of two or more base phase vectors from a location server. Next, the AP may measure a measured phase vector for a first signal from a user device. Then, the AP can determine projection values based on a comparison of the measured phase vector to each base phase vector. From these comparisons, the AP can determine a subset of base phase vectors with the highest projection values. The AP can then send the projection values and the subset of base phase vectors to the location server, wherein the location server determines the device location from these projection values and subset of base phase vectors.

A method for sidelink (SL) control information (CSI) acquisition performed by a UE is provided. The method includes receiving a first SCI format from another UE, the first SCI format including resource allocation information of a second SCI format; receiving the second SCI format from the another UE based on the first SCI format, the second SCI format including a CSI request field and a source identifier (ID) field corresponding to the another UE; and generating a CSI report triggered by the second SCI format.

A random access power control apparatus and method and a communication system. The random access power control apparatus includes: a first calculating unit configured to, by using a pathloss estimated based on an synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block and/or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) currently selected by a UE, calculate transmission power used by the UE in transmitting random access preambles.

There are provided a method and system of controlling traffic in a cellular network comprising at least one site characterized by a plurality of cells sharing a common antenna and operating in different frequencies. The method comprises processing performance-related data and network topology-related to obtain, for each cell of the plurality of cells, a performance score, thus giving rise to a set of frequency-dependent scores associated with the shared antenna; and enabling provisioning of the shared antenna in accordance with the set of frequency-dependent scores associated with the shared antenna. When no leading frequency is configured for the shared antenna, the provisioning is enabled merely when each score in the set of frequency-dependent scores meets respective adjustment criteria; and when a frequency among the different frequencies is configured as a leading frequency, the provisioning is enabled merely when a score corresponding to the leading frequency meets an adjustment criterion for the leading frequency.
