摘要:
A WTRU may include a memory and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive beam grouping information from a gNB or transmission and reception point (TRP). The beam grouping information may indicate a group of beams that the WTRU may report using group-based reporting. The group-based reporting may be a reduced level of reporting compared to a beam-based reporting. The group-based report may include measurement information for a representative beam. The representative beam may be one of the beams in the group or represents an average of the beams in the group. Alternatively, the representative beam may be a beam that has a maximum measurement value compared to other beams in the group. The group-based report may include a reference signal received power (RSRP) for the representative beam and a differential RSRP for each additional beam in the beam group.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for operating supplementary cells in licensed exempt (LE) spectrum. An aggregating cell operating in a frequency division duplex (FDD) licensed spectrum is aggregated with a LE supplementary cell operating in a time sharing mode for uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) operations. The LE supplementary cell may be an FDD supplementary cell dynamically configurable between an UL only mode, a DL only mode, and a shared mode, to match requested UL and DL traffic ratios. The LE supplementary cell may be a time division duplex (TDD) supplementary cell. The TDD supplementary cell may be dynamically configurable between multiple TDD configurations. A coexistence capability for coordinating operations between the LE supplementary cell with other systems operating in the same channel is provided. Coexistence gaps are provided to measure primary/secondary user usage and permit other systems operating in the LE supplementary cell channel to access the channel.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are described for performing channel aggregation to communicate over a non-contiguous spectrum, such as television white space (TVWS), using a plurality of aggregated channels including a primary channel and at least one non-primary channel (e.g., a secondary channel, a tertiary channel or a quaternary channel). Carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) may be performed on the primary channel to obtain access to the primary channel. After waiting an arbitration interframe space (AIFS) and potentially performing backoff on the primary channel, the aggregated channels may be used for transmission. A buffer controller may be used to create, for each of a plurality of access classes (ACs), a logic buffer for each of the channels. A frame controller may be used to provide the buffer controller with aggregated medium access control (MAC) protocol data unit (A-MPDU) frame information, and control aggregation and fragmentation processes.
摘要:
Described herein is a silent period method and apparatus for dynamic spectrum management. The methods include configuration and coordination of silent periods across an aggregated channel in a wireless communication system. A silent period management entity (SPME) dynamically determines silent period schedules for channels based on system and device information and assigns a silent period duration and periodicity for each silent period. The SPME may reconfigure the silent period schedule based on system delay, system throughput, channel quality or channel management events. A silent period interpretation entity (SPIE) receives and implements the silent period schedule. The silent periods for the channels may be synchronized, independent, or set-synchronized. Interfaces for communicating between the SPME, SPIE, a channel management function, a medium access control (MAC) quality of service (QoS) entity, a sensing/capabilities database, a MAC layer management entity (MLME) and a wireless receive/transmit unit (WTRU) MLME are described herein.

A method and apparatus for use in authentication for secure wireless communication is provided. A received signal is physically authenticated and higher layer processed. Physical authentication includes performing hypothesis testing using a channel impulse response (CIR) measurement of the received signal and predetermined referenced data. Higher layer processing includes validating the signal using a one-way hash chain value in the signal. Once a signal is authenticated, secure wireless communication is performed.
摘要:
A method implemented by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising: generating a plurality of uplink control information (UCI) bits to be transmitted in a codeword; applying a polar code to the UCI bits, wherein a mother code length associated with the polar code is determined based on a codeword length for transmission of the UCI; performing rate matching on the polar coded UCI bits, wherein performing the rate matching comprises performing one of: a repetition scheme if the mother code length is less than the codeword length, a puncturing scheme if a code rate for the codeword is less than a threshold, or a shortening scheme if the code rate for the codeword is greater than the threshold; and transmitting the rate matched, polar coded UCI bits.

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a first downlink control information (DCI) in a first slot, the first DCI comprising an indication of first quasi co-location (QCL) reference; receive a second DCI in a second slot, the second DCI comprising scheduling information for a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission; and receive the first PDSCH transmission in accordance with the first QCL reference indicated by the first DCI received in the first slot and in accordance with the scheduling information for the first PDSCH transmission comprised in the second DCI received in the second slot.
