Provided are a method, device and storage medium for configuring a starting symbol position of an uplink data channel. The method includes: determining a configuration value of a first type parameter set, where the first type parameter set is a set of uplink data parameters; determining a configuration range of a starting symbol position of an uplink data channel according to the configuration value of the first type parameter set; and selecting a starting symbol position of the uplink data channel from the configuration range of the starting symbol position of the uplink data channel, and notifying a receiving end of the selected starting symbol position of the uplink data channel.

The disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems for wireless communications. A wireless communications system may support unicast and broadcast communications for different radio access technologies (RATs). To support the coexistence of different RATs, a user equipment (UE) may report, to a base station, a UE capability message containing a band combination including one or more bands for a first RAT (for example, New Radio (NR)) and one or more bands for a second RAT (for example, Long Term Evolution (LTE)) and an indication of a baseband budget for the second RAT for the band combination. In some implementations, the UE may transmit a broadcast interest indicator to the base station requesting a broadcast service. The base station may configure the UE with a carrier aggregation (CA) configuration based on the UE capabilities, such as the band combination and corresponding baseband budget for the second RAT, and the interest indicator.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) receives, from a base station, an indication of a configuration for symbol repetition, the configuration including one or more parameters for transmitting a message on a physical uplink channel. The UE formats, based on a first format of the configuration, a first portion of a set of repetitions of the message scheduled for transmission before a slot boundary, and formats, based on a second format of the configuration, a second portion of the set of repetitions of the message scheduled for transmission after the slot boundary, the second portion being a single symbol. The UE transmits, to the base station, the first portion of the set of repetitions formatted according to the first format and the second portion of the set of repetitions according to the second format.

The invention discloses a method (700) for a cellular system (100), in which traffic can be exchanged between first (110, 120) and second (110, 120) transceivers. The traffic is sent in data units, each of which is given an identifier, and which data units may be divided into segments. A receiving transceiver (110, 120) may send status information in data frames or data units (200, 300) about properly received, partially received, or non-received data units to a sending transceiver, i.e. the transceiver from which the data was sent. In the case (705) of partially or non-received data units, the status information includes (710) information about whether the data unit or units were non-received or partially received, and in the case of one or more partially received data units, which (715) parts of those data units that were not received.

A method for data transmission is performed by a first device, and includes: determining a first sequence control field for a first category of data frame, wherein the first sequence control field has a bit length configured to enable the first sequence control field to support multi-link communication; and sending the first category of data frame carrying the first sequence control field.
