Resource management such as network radio resource management in wireless networks, is described in connection with different aspects.

A method in a network node for multiplexing a physical channel between the network node and devices in a mixed wireless network, wherein the mixed wireless network comprises a cellular network comprising one or more cellular channels and a Device-to-Device (D2D), network comprising one or more D2D channels. The method includes time division multiplexing the physical channel between a first group of cellular channels and a first group of D2D channels, and frequency division multiplexing the physical channel between a second group of cellular channels and the first group of D2D channels.

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods to establish a connection to the Internet via a local gateway (L-GW) function for a LIPA or a SIPTO@LN. The establishment of the connection to the Internet may be performed, for example, by at least one of an E-RAB SETUP procedure, an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP procedure, an INITIAL UE MESSAGE procedure or an UPLINK NAS TRANSPORT procedure.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). The present invention provides a communication method in a wireless communication system. The method according to the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station serving the station in a cellular network, information indicating a first transmission period of an access point serving the station in a wireless network; setting a first channel period, for communicating with the access point, based on the first transmission period, receiving, from the access point, information indicating a second transmission period determined by the access point; and updating the first channel period to a second channel period based on the second transmission period.

A method and apparatus are described for adaptive interference discovery of a licensed shared access (LSA) system. The method includes: an LSA controller selects a measurement node according to interference protection information of an LSA licensed system; the LSA controller sends a measurement configuration message to the measurement node; and the LSA controller receives a measurement response message returned by the measurement node and determines whether to perform LSA spectrum resource reconfiguration according to the measurement response message.

The present invention is designed to measure and/or report CSI (Channel State Information) of a plurality of narrow bands, even when the band to use is limited to a partial narrow band in a system band. According to one aspect of the present invention, a user terminal, in which the band to use is limited to a partial narrow band in a system band, has a receiving section that receives information related to CSI (Channel State Information) measurement in a narrow band, a measurement section that measures CSIs in a plurality of narrow bands based on the information related to CSI measurement, and a transmission section that reports the measured CSIs.

A first wireless device may determine a bandwidth for transmitting a frame, calculate two or more Spatial Reuse (SR) parameter values for the bandwidth, set, using the SR parameter values, first and second SR fields of the frame based on the bandwidth and a channel center frequency in which the bandwidth is carried, and transmit the frame to a second wireless device on the bandwidth. The first and second SR fields may be set to a first value when the bandwidth is a 40 MHz bandwidth and the channel center frequency is in a 2.4 GHz band. The first and second SR fields may be set to the first value when the bandwidth is an 80+80 MHz bandwidth and the channel center frequency is in a 5 GHz band. The first value may be a minimum of SR parameter values for first and second bandwidths in the bandwidth.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a control signal indicating a resource allocation for either an uplink transmission or a downlink transmission. The UE may identify, based at least in part on a modulation and coding scheme indicated in the control signal, an aggregation factor of the uplink transmission or the downlink transmission. The UE may communicate with the base station by either transmitting the uplink transmission or receiving the downlink transmission in accordance with the resource allocation and the aggregation factor.

A communication system is disclosed in which a base station manages the transmission of on-demand system information to optimise the trade-off between the additional signalling overhead associated with on-demand transmission and the resource usage inefficiencies associated with the sometimes unnecessary transmission of system information on a periodic basis. The base station manages switching from on-demand transmission to periodic transmission, and vice versa, based on one or more utilisation thresholds.

Systems and methods for Quality of Service (QoS) mapping based on latency and throughput are provided. A method performed by a first node for mapping Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) streams includes: receiving traffic class specific information for one or more TSN streams; and determining a set of one or more 5G QoS flows to support the traffic class. This provides solutions where 5QI table entries configured by a 5GS can result in underproviding or overproviding the payload capacity made available to support the traffic class. If less payload space is provided, then TSN stream payload corresponding to the traffic class will be lost. If more space is provided, then radio interface resources will be used inefficiently. As such, the solutions identified herein allow for more efficient use of radio interface resources associated with a 5G QoS flow used to support a set of TSN streams corresponding to a TSN traffic class.
