Provided is a method for data transmission from a user equipment to a remote server by means of a base station of a cellular network, wherein the user equipment is configured to carry out payload data transmission to said remote server. It comprises: carrying out a first signaling data transmission to the base station, determining a first power value representative of the power spent for said first signaling data transmission, maintaining the first power value as reference value, carrying out a second signaling data transmission to the base station, and determining a second power value representative of the power spent for said second signaling data transmission. In case said second power value exceeds said first power value by a predetermined threshold value, it delays the next payload data transmission for a predetermined time.

In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, a system is provided for facilitating localizing an external device, the system comprising: at least one UWB communication node; a controller operatively coupled to said UWB communication node, wherein the controller is configured to switch the UWB communication node between a ranging mode of operation and a radar mode of operation in dependence on an estimated distance between the UWB communication node and the external device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) may include: receiving a multicast bandwidth part configuration for multicast communications between a base station and the UE, where the multicast bandwidth part configuration includes a maximum number of multiple-input, multiple-output layers to be used for the multicast communications; establishing a multicast link with the base station for multicast communications; determining to use a reduced number of antennas for multicast reception than the number of antennas used for unicast reception, or determining that the UE is able to decode the multicast communications prior to a remaining portion of the multicast communications; and receiving the multicast communications via the reduced number of antennas, or reducing the radio frequency power prior to completion of a number of repetitions or retransmissions of the multicast communications.

An idle mode processing method executable in a user equipment (UE) is provided, and includes: determining a UE mobility state of the UE; applying a speed scaling factor associated with a low mobility state of the UE to an idle mode processing parameter in response to the UE is in the low mobility state, the idle mode processing parameter is utilized for a criterion for triggering a specific idle mode operation in the idle mode, and the low mobility state is a state where a speed of the UE is lower than a first speed threshold; and adjusting the criterion using the speed scaling factor to delay or skip execution of the specific idle mode operation.

A signal sending method and apparatus, a signal receiving method and apparatus, and a storage medium. The method comprises: sending resource configuration information, which includes a first configuration resource and a second configuration resource; sending a first signal on the basis of the resource configuration information, and a first node group and a second node group monitor a first signal on the basis of respectively corresponding configuration resources; generating and sending a second signal, the second signal being sent on a sending resource indicated by the first signal, and the node groups receive the second signal after the first signal is monitored. Nodes are grouped, and respectively corresponding configuration resources are respectively configured for the node groups; the first signal is sent on the basis of the configuration resources, and the first signal carrying the sending resource to instruct the nodes to receive the second signal, to reduce a collision problem in multiple P-RNTI configurations, avoiding invalid paging monitoring of the nodes, and saving the power consumption of the nodes.

A polling processing unit executes a polling process for detecting a device that performs NFC communication. An NFC communication processing unit executes a communication process of performing NFC communication with a mobile device detected by the polling process. Power consumption associated with execution of the communication process is larger than power consumption associated with execution of the polling process. When authentication of the mobile device by an authentication processing unit is completed, or when the execution of the communication process continues for a prescribed time period, the NFC communication processing unit executes a stop process of stopping the communication process until the execution of the communication process is permitted.

A method and a device for searching for an access point in a wireless LAN are disclosed. An operating method of a station comprising a PCR and a WUR comprises the steps of: allowing the WUR operating in a wake up state to receive a WUR beacon frame from an access point; shifting an operating state of the PCR from a sleep state to the wake up state, when the WUR beacon frame is received; and allowing the PCR operating in the wake up state to communicate with the access point. Therefore, the performance of a communication system can be improved.

Uplink high efficiency location of a user equipment (UE) includes initiating periodic or triggered location in the UE by a location server (LS) in a wireless network. The UE enters an idle state and monitors for triggering events. After detecting an event, the UE transmits an uplink positioning signal (UPS) to a base station, where the UPS encodes UPS data comprising a UE ID, an ID for the LS, an authentication code (AC) and location measurements. UPS transmission occurs in an uplink positioning occasion shared with other UEs. The location measurements may be ciphered but other UPS data is unciphered. The base station obtains additional location measurements and transfers the UPS data and the location measurements to the LS. The LS authenticates the UE ID using the AC, determines the UE location using the location measurements and transfers the location to an external client.

A communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) is provided. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for reducing power consumption of the terminal.

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a user equipment, UE (10), for communicating in a wireless communication network. The UE (10) receives a wake-up signal with a multibit indication from a radio network node (12), wherein the multibit indication comprises a first bit indicating to start or not to start, for a first cell, an on-duration timer at one or more of the next occurrence of an on-duration, and a second bit indicating to apply dormancy or non-dormancy behavior on a second cell at the next occurrence of an on-duration for the second cell. The UE (10) further performs an action related to the wake-up signal taking the received multibit indication into account.
