A downlink reception triggering method, a terminal, and a network-side device are provided. A method on a terminal side includes transmitting a first uplink signal, where the first uplink signal is used to trigger a first downlink reception.

A channel monitoring method is provided. The method comprises: during the duration of skipping physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring, if a terminal device sends first information, the terminal device resuming PDCCH monitoring. Further disclosed in the present application are another channel monitoring method, an electronic device, and a storage medium.

This document generally relates to wireless communication systems that involve one or more intelligent reflecting devices. A plurality of second nodes that communicate with a first node may be grouped into node groups based on one or more communication parameters between the plurality of second nodes and an intelligent reflecting device. In turn, the first node may transmit signals to the plurality of second nodes via the intelligent reflecting device according to a time schedule based on the node grouping. In addition or alternatively, an intelligent reflecting device may include surface elements that are divided into multiple surface element regions. The first node may communicate with the multiple surface element regions independently in order to service the plurality of second nodes.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). The UE starts a first timer (such as a discontinuous reception (DRX) hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) round-trip-time (RTT) timer), after sending an uplink (UL) data transmission to a network entity. The UE then starts a second timer (such as a DRX retransmission timer) when the first timer expires. The UE then determines whether to wake up or sleep for a duration of the second timer based on a prior block error rate (BLER).

Method and UE are provided for scheduling for PDCCH PEI detection. In particular, a BS can transmit a higher layer signaling to a UE. The higher layer signaling includes a configuration of at least one configurable PDCCH candidate number for PEI procedure used under a non-active mode. After receiving the higher layer signaling, the UE performs blind decoding under the non-active mode according to the configuration of the at least one configurable PDCCH candidate number.

One example discloses a wireless device, comprising: an input configured to receive an interference signal; a transmitter configured to generate a transmit signal having either a first data rate or a second data rate; and a controller coupled to the input and the transmitter, and configured to define an interference threshold; wherein the controller is configured to command the transmitter to modulate the transmit signal at the first data rate if the interference signal is below the interference threshold, and modulate the transmit signal at the second data rate if the interference signal is above the interference threshold.

A method and apparatus for secondary base station change in a mobile communication system are provided. Method for secondary node change includes receiving conditional reconfiguration information from the base station, transmitting to the base station a first response message with a transaction identifier, performing evaluation based on the configuration generated by a second base station and transmitting a second response message with an identifier indicating which conditional reconfiguration is executed.

A control apparatus for a communication device includes: a data acquisition unit that acquires data regarding a use condition of a communication device to be monitored from the communication device; a data analysis unit that analyzes the use condition of the communication device to be monitored based on the acquired data regarding the use condition of the communication device; and a device control unit that controls the communication device to be monitored to shift between a normal mode and a power saving mode based on a result of the analysis by the data analysis unit.

A method and apparatus for selecting a NR cell in a mobile communication system are provided. Method for selecting a NR cell includes selecting, by a terminal, a first cell, acquiring, by the terminal in the first cell, a MIB, acquiring, by the terminal in the first cell, a SIB1 based at least in part on a first information in the MIB, considering, by the terminal, the first cell as barred, performing, by the terminal a first operation group if the SIB1 received in the first cell does not include a intraFreqReselection and performing, by the terminal a second operation group if the SIB1 received in the first cell includes the intraFreqReselection and the second intraFreqReselection is set to NotAllowed.

A wireless device receives a report mask indicating a transmission of a layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) report limited to a time period when a discontinuous reception (DRX) timer is running. The L1-RSRP report is transmitted, at a first time, in response to the DRX timer running at a predefined time period before the first time. The L1-RSRP report may include, for example, an L1-RSRP value and a reference signal index associated with the L1-RSRP value. Ata second time, a configured L1-RSRP report transmission is skipped in response to: the DRX timer not running at the predefined time period before the second time and the report mask.
