Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a discovery reference signal from a base station on an anchor channel. The UE may perform a first random or pseudorandom frequency hopping procedure to identify a plurality of downlink carriers for a first time period. The UE may perform a second random or pseudorandom frequency hopping procedure within the plurality of downlink carriers to select one of the plurality of downlink carriers as the uplink channel for a second time period. The UE may then transmit an uplink communication during the second time period on the selected uplink channel. In some examples, the uplink communication may be transmitted based at least in part on time division multiplexing (TDM) information.

The present disclosure relates in a first aspect to a head-wearable hearing instrument comprising first and second portions and a radio-frequency data communication interface configured to transmit and receive data packets at transmit and receipt time slots, respectively, through a wireless communication channel. The head-wearable hearing instrument comprises a connector assembly configured to electrically and mechanically interconnect the first portion with the second portion. The second portion comprises a sensor configured to measure a physical property and generate sensor data representative of the measured physical property. The head-wearable hearing instrument further comprises a wired data communication link extending between the first and second portions through the connector assembly for transmission of sensor data during transmit time slots. Said transmit time slots of the sensor data and at least said receipt time slots of the wireless communication channel are non-overlapping in time.

Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for utilizing a flexible slot indicator in wireless communication. A base station (BS) may establish communication with a first user equipment device (UE). The BS may determine a transmission direction for each of a plurality of symbols included in one or more slots. The BS may transmit a slot format indicator (SFI) to the UE. The SFI may indicate the transmission direction for each of the plurality of symbols included in one or more slots. The BS and the UE may perform communication during the one or more slots according to the determined transmission direction.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform substantially concurrent communications with a next generation network node and a legacy network node. The wireless device may be configured to stablish a first wireless link with a first cell according to a RAT, where the first cell operates in a first system bandwidth and establish a second wireless link with a second cell according to a RAT, where the second cell operates in a second system bandwidth. Further, the wireless device may be configured to perform uplink activity for both the first RAT and the second RAT by TDM uplink data for the first RAT and uplink data for the second RAT if uplink activity is scheduled according to both the first RAT and the second RAT.

The present invention relates to a system that includes a transmission/reception point and a user equipment having different configurations in inter-band and performs a TDD (Time Division Duplex) method.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit signaling to a first network entity indicating a location of the UE and a measured reference signal receive power (RSRP). The UE may receive an indication of a time division duplex (TDD) configuration and a slot format indicator (SFI) for communications between the UE and the first network entity based on the RSRP or location. In some cases, the first network entity may receive signaling indicating a set of resource configurations from a second network entity. The first network entity may select a resource configuration (e.g., for communications with the UE) from the set based on a measured RSRP indicated by the UE or a location of the UE. The UE and the base station (e.g., the wireless device and the first network entity) may communicate according to the indicated or selected resource configurations.

A method performed by a network entity is provided. The method comprises obtaining information indicating uplink, UL, and downlink, DL, time periods in the packet-based fronthaul network occupied by Time-Division Duplex, TDD, radio transmissions transmitted and/or received by the one or more second fronthaul network units over its radio interface. The method further comprises scheduling packet-based synchronization messages between at least the one or more first fronthaul network units and the one or more second fronthaul network units over the packet-based fronthaul network based on the obtained information. A network entity is also provided, as well as, computer programs and carriers.

The present disclosure describes a method, an apparatus, and a computer readable medium for a multilayer transmission in a wireless network. For example, the method may include generating a group of binary data bits for resources of each layer of a plurality of layers, mapping the group of binary data bits of each layer of the plurality of layers to respective code words in a signal constellation, combining the code words, and transmitting the combined code word to receiver in the wireless network. As such, the multilayer transmission in a wireless network is achieved.

The spectrum sharing dynamic mode switch in TDMA may allow for the transmission of only one radio mode per transmission time interval (TTI). Such system may address radio interference or retransmission (reTX) failures, among other things.
