A method and system for controlling application of TTI bundling on a carrier on which an access node provides service, the carrier defining air-interface resources. An example method includes detecting that at least a predefined threshold number of devices of a predefined class (e.g., IoT devices) are connected with the access node on the carrier. Further, the example method includes, responsive to the detecting that at least the predefined threshold number of devices of the predefined class are connected with the access node on the carrier, proactively reserving a portion of the air-interface resources for use to serve communications between the access node and the devices of the predefined class and, in view of the proactive reserving of the portion of the air-interface resources, imposing a reduction in the application of the TTI bundling by the access node on the carrier.

The disclosed subject matter relates to facilitating uplink communication waveform selection in wireless communication systems, and more particularly Fifth Generation (5G) wireless communication systems. In one or more embodiments, a system is provided comprising a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations. These operations can comprise facilitating establishing a wireless communication link between a first device and a second network device of a wireless communication network, and determining a waveform filtering protocol for application by the first device in association with performance of uplink data transmissions from the first device to the second network device.

Embodiments are provided herein for improving carrier aggregation for wireless networks. A plurality of bandwidth channels are assigned to a basic service set (BSS) for transmissions. Specifically, the bandwidth channels are divided into multiple channel segments corresponding to multiple primary or alternate primary channels. A channel segment possibly further includes one or more additional secondary channels. The locations of the primary or alternate primary channels that correspond to the channel segments of the BSS are then broadcasted in the network. When a station or AP receives this BSS information, it searches for an available primary or alternate primary channel of the BSS to begin transmission. Upon detecting an available primary channel or alternate primary channel that is not used for another transmission, the station or AP transmits data on the channel segment corresponding to the detected primary or alternate primary channel.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein that may be used for NOMA resource selection. Different types of NOMA resources may be configured by a network and selected by a WTRU based on rules, priorities, fairness, overloading factors, multiple access signature sizes, measurement results, payload sizes, and/or the like. Single-NOMA operations may be performed using DFT-invariant codewords. Multiple NOMA schemes may coexist with different codeword types and/or codeword sizes.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method of a UE is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station, physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for bandwidth part (BWP) switching of a serving cell; identifying whether there is ongoing random access procedure associated with the serving cell; and performing BWP switching based on the PDCCH in response to identifying that there is no ongoing random access procedure.

A method for detecting downlink control information includes receiving, by a terminal device from a network device, detection related information for detecting downlink control information (DCIs) of all bandwidth parts (BWPs), where the detection related information is determined by the network device based on resource load of control resource sets of all the BWPs, and detecting, by the terminal device, each of the DCIs based on the detection related information.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A network entity may output a channel state information (CSI) report message that indicates multiple codebook configurations. A UE may receive the CSI report message indicating a set of codebook configurations associated with a set of antenna port configurations. The UE may transmit a CSI report indicating one or more codebook configurations of the set of codebook configurations, where CSI included in the CSI report is based on the one or more codebook configurations. The UE may then communicate with a network entity based on the channel state information report indicating the one or more codebook configurations.
