An Ethernet type packet data unit session may be instantiated based on the capability information.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for a scheduled entity to communicate within a wireless communication network. In one aspect, the scheduled entity receives a plurality of neighbor cell measurement relaxation mechanisms from a scheduling entity. The scheduled entity determines one or more channel condition parameters and selects one or more of the pluralities of neighbor cell measurement relaxation mechanisms, based on the determined one or more channel condition parameters.

The Gap configuration method includes: receiving first enabling information from a network device, where the first enabling information is used to indicate whether a first need configuration of a first Gap is enabled, the first Gap is a Gap including at least one of N Gap types, and N is a positive number; sending first request information to the network device in a case that the first enabling information indicates that the first need configuration is enabled, where the first request information is used to request a first target Gap, and a Gap type of the first target Gap is at least one of the N Gap types; and receiving first configuration information from the network device, where the first configuration information is used to configure the first target Gap.

A signal measurement method includes: obtaining measurement gap configuration information, where the measurement gap configuration information includes at least one of first measurement gap configuration information or second measurement gap configuration information, and gap pattern configuration information indicated by the second measurement gap configuration information is different from gap pattern configuration information indicated by the first measurement gap configuration information; and performing signal measurement within a measurement gap according to the measurement gap configuration information.

A method and apparatus of performing discontinuous reception (DRX) and downlink inter-frequency and inter-radio access technology (RAT) measurements in CELL_FACH state are disclosed. While in DRX mode, a wireless transmit/receive unite (WTRU) may perform inter-frequency and inter-RAT measurements in a measurement occasion that fall into a DRX period. The WTRU may take the measurements on first predetermined number of frame in which a DRX frame would coincide after a last reception frame if DRX operation was ongoing. The WTRU may periodically wake up for downlink reception in CELL_FACH state in accordance with common DRX pattern that is common to all WTRUs in a cell or may wake up from DRX upon reception of the order and receiving a common traffic.

Method, apparatus and systems are provided for key derivation. A target base station receives multiple keys derived by a source base station, where the keys correspond to cells of the target base station. The target base station selects a key corresponding to the target cell after obtaining information regarding a target cell that a user equipment (UE) is to access. An apparatus for key derivation and a communications system are also provided.
