The present disclosure relates to methods for transmitting or receiving one on more signals in a system where multiple numerologies are used, and for adapting, selecting, or determining the ON/OFF mask for said signals depending on the numerology used for the respective signals, and based on the location of critical signals close to the transient periods. The disclosure also relates to corresponding devices and to a computer program for executing the proposed methods, and to a carrier containing said computer program. Further, embodiments relating to a host computer and activities therein, is also comprised in the current disclosure.

Provided are a method and device for determining an application delay value of a minimum scheduling offset limit in a wireless communication system. In the method, when DCI including information notifying a change in a minimum scheduling offset limit value in slot n of a scheduling cell is received, the changed minimum scheduling offset limit value is applied in slot n+X of the scheduling cell. Here, the X value may be determined on the basis of two parameters such as Y and Z, wherein the Y value is a minimum scheduling offset limit value applied to a scheduled cell scheduled by the DCI, and the Z value is a value determined in advance according to a subcarrier interval of the scheduling cell. In addition, the Z value may be increased by 1 according to the temporal position at which the DCI is received in the slot n.

An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: generate (606) a synchronization signal for transmission over one or more symbols, wherein the number of symbols is dependent on a subcarrier spacing.

A network device sends multicast configuration information to a terminal device, where the multicast configuration information corresponds to a first multicast service, the multicast configuration information includes first indication information, and the first indication information indicates that the terminal device sends first feedback information for the first multicast service. The terminal device receives the first multicast service based on the first multicast configuration information, and then sends the first feedback information corresponding to the first multicast service to the network device based on the first indication information in the first multicast configuration information. The feedback mechanism applies to a multicast transmission technology and improves transmission reliability of a multicast service.

A base station may transmit, to a UE, at least one of the SS, the PBCH, the CORESET, or the SIB, via the plurality of resources based on the indication of the at least one initial access structure. In some aspects, the SS may be time-division multiplexed with the PBCH and may be frequency-division multiplexed with the CORESET and the SIB. In one aspect, the CORESET may be time-division multiplexed with the SIB. In another aspect, the CORESET may be frequency-division multiplexed with the SIB. In some aspects, at least one switching gap may be configured after the at least one initial access structure, the at least one switching gap being configured based on an SCS.

The present disclosure describes methods, systems and devices for transmitting initial access information from a base station to a user equipment (UE). One method includes notifying, by the base station, the UE to support at least one subcarrier spacing (SCS); communicating, by the base station, a subcarrier offset to the UE; and configuring, by the base station, a multiplexing pattern between initial access information. Another method includes receiving, by the UE from the base station, notification to support at least one subcarrier spacing (SCS); receiving, by the UE from the base station, a communication comprising a subcarrier offset; and receiving, by the UE from the base station, a configuration for a multiplexing pattern between initial access information.

Aspects of the present disclosure allow a base station to simultaneously send SSBs to a UE and to associate different ROs or designated subsets of preambles with the simultaneously transmitted SSBs. The base station may configure a time or frequency offset for different ROs, or a number of preamble cyclic shifts associated with the SSBs. The base station then simultaneously sends a plurality of SSBs to the UE, where each of the SSBs is associated with a different beam, and where each of the SSBs is associated with a different RO or a designated subset of preambles. After the UE simultaneously obtains the SSBs from the base station, the UE may determine the offset for one of the different ROs, or the number of preamble cyclic shifts associated with one of the SSBs. The UE may then send a preamble to the base station in response to the determination.

There is provided a UE for configured to perform communication. The UE comprises: at least one transceiver; at least one processor; and at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising: receiving a SL signal based on NR operating band n79; and performing NR Uu communication based on the NR operating band n79.

Methods and apparatuses for adaptive subcarrier spacing in wireless communication networks are described. For example, the described aspects include transmitting, from the UE to a network entity, a first PRACH transmission with a first subcarrier spacing; determining, by the UE, that the first PRACH transmission to the network entity is not successful; and transmitting, from the UE, a second PRACH transmission with a second subcarrier spacing in response to determining that the first PRACH transmission is not successful, wherein the first subcarrier spacing is different from the second subcarrier spacing.

Various communication systems may benefit from improved signaling. For example, it may be helpful to improve the management of the uplink timing alignment where multiple numerologies are used. A method may include receiving at a user equipment an indication from a network node. The timing adjustment granularity may be determined implicitly based on one or more multiple numerology assigned to a timing advance group. The method may also include applying at the user equipment the indicated timing adjustment granularity associated with one of the multiple numerologies.
