Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network entity, beam shape assistance information for one or more downlink transmit beams of a base station, the beam shape assistance information representing a beam shape of each of the one or more downlink transmit beams, the beam shape of each of the one or more downlink transmit beams having a quantization, and determines an angle between the UE and the base station based at least on the beam shape assistance information and signal strength measurements of positioning reference signal resources transmitted on the one or more downlink transmit beams.

Aspects relate to activation of a cell (e.g., an SCell) based on measurements made by a user equipment (UE) when the cell is not activated with respect to (e.g., as a secondary cell for) the UE (e.g., the cell is deemed by the network as an unknown cell for that UE). In this case, when the network requests the UE to conduct measurements with respect to that cell (e.g., in conjunction with activation of the cell), the UE may report information based on the measurements the UE conducted when the cell was not activated with respect to that UE.

Methods and apparatus for targeted wake-up and frame enhancement for energy harvesting are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a station (STA) may compromise: receiving, during an energy detection state, a zero energy (ZE) frame from an access point (AP) that indicates a presence of an energy harvesting (EH) window; harvesting energy for a determined time duration during the EH window; and receiving, during an information decoding state, a data portion of the ZE frame based on a current stored energy of the STA being above a first threshold and a signal strength of the received ZE frame being above a second threshold.

Provided are a communication method and a communication apparatus. The method includes: performing, by a terminal device, first Small Data Transmission (SDT) on a pre-Configured Grant (CG) resource corresponding to a first Synchronization Signal Black (SSB), wherein the terminal device is in an inactive state; and performing, by the terminal device, second SDT on the CG resource corresponding to the first SSB. According to the method in the embodiments of the disclosure, SDT of a User Equipment (UE) in an inactive state can be implemented.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for sidelink communications. In a method for communications, a first terminal device determines from a resource pool configured for the first terminal device, first resources in a time window before a first slot based on a resource selection scheme of the first terminal device. The first terminal device determines a first number of occupied resources in the first resources. The first terminal device determines a congestion level indicator of a sidelink channel for the first slot based at least in part on the first number and a number of the first resources. The sidelink channel is associated with the first terminal device. With the proposed mechanism, the sidelink congestion level indicator, such as, a channel busy ratio (CBR) is determined with consideration of the resource selection scheme and the reception capability of the terminal device. As such, the accuracy of CBR measurement can be improved, which is beneficial to sidelink congestion control and a reduction of the power consumption at the terminal device.

A wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a first communication module; and at least one second communication module wirelessly connected to the first communication module, wherein the first communication module is wirelessly connected to the second communication module to which driving power is applied from the same power source as that of the first communication module.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station, information related to a concurrent reception capability using different receive beams. The UE may receive, from the base station, information indicating one or more slots in which concurrent sidelink and downlink reception is enabled based at least in part on the information related to the concurrent reception capability. The UE may receive, in the one or more slots in which concurrent sidelink and downlink reception is enabled, a downlink transmission from the base station using a first receive beam and a sidelink transmission from a peer UE using a second receive beam. Numerous other aspects are described.

A communication apparatus comprises: a communicator configured to receive, from a base station, first information regarding a stationarity criterion, second information regarding a non-cell edge criterion, and third information regarding execution of relaxed measurement; and a controller configured to choose a performance of the relaxed measurement in a case where both the stationarity criterion and the non-cell edge criterion are fulfilled based on the third information.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication transmitter may monitor a clear channel assessment (CCA) for a primary bandwidth associated with the transmitter. The wireless communication transmitter may determine whether an interferer is located within the primary bandwidth based at least in part on tracking packet drops, within the primary bandwidth, that are based at least in part on the CCA. The wireless communication transmitter may monitor one or more additional CCAs for one or more secondary bandwidths associated with the transmitter. The wireless communication transmitter may determine whether an interferer is located within at least one bandwidth, of the one or more secondary bandwidths, based at least in part on tracking packet transmissions, within the one or more secondary bandwidths, that are based at least in part on the one or more additional CCAs. Numerous other aspects are described.

A beam configuration method is performed by a terminal, and includes: determining one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states of a control resource set (CORESET); wherein one or more reference signal resources indicated by the one or more TCI states are associated with at least one of: a serving cell of the terminal; or a neighboring cell of the terminal.
