Abstract:
Methods and devices for reducing traffic over a wireless link through the compression or suppression of high layer packets carrying predictable background data prior to transportation over a wireless link. The methods include intercepting application layer protocol packets carrying the predictable background data. In embodiments where the background data is periodic in nature, the high layer packets may be compressed into low-layer signaling indicators for communication over a low-layer control channel (e.g., an on off keying (OOK) channel). Alternatively, the high layer packets may be suppressed entirely (not transported over the wireless link) when a receiver side daemon is configured to autonomously replicate the periodic background nature according to a projected interval. In other embodiments, compression techniques may be used to reduce overhead attributable to non-periodic background data that is predictable in context.

The present invention provides a wireless communication method supporting hybrid automatic repeat request. The method includes: sending first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process quantity indication information to a user equipment UE; and if second HARQ process quantity indication information is further sent to the UE, determining a second HARQ process quantity according to the second HARQ process quantity indication information, and performing data transmission with the UE according to the determined second HARQ process quantity. Correspondingly, the present invention further provides a base station and the user equipment. In the present invention, the base station and the user equipment can perform data communication with the UE based on different HARQ timing relationships and HARQ process quantities, thereby being capable of better supporting UEs adopting different functional characteristics.
Abstract:
A base station generates a punctured synchronization signal block (SSB) for a channel of a frequency band based on a SSB. A bandwidth of the SSB exceeds a bandwidth of the channel. The punctured SSB includes a punctured physical broadcast channel (PBCH), a primary synchronization signal (PSS), and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS). The PSS of the punctured SSB has a center frequency indicated by a sync raster location of a set of sync raster locations associated with the frequency band. The punctured PBCH is obtained from a PBCH of the first SSB based on a puncture pattern associated with the sync raster location. The base station transmits the punctured SSB in the channel. A user equipment (UE) detects the punctured SSB according to the sync raster location.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may perform partial sensing during a sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) inactive time of the UE over a partial sensing occasion to obtain a sensing result. The partial sensing may include periodic based partial sensing (PBPS) or contiguous partial sensing (CPS), and the partial sensing occasion may include a sensing occasion determined on a most recent sensing occasion for PBPS or a minimum number of slots for CPS. The UE may determine, based on at least the sensing result, available resources for SL transmissions, and transmit a SL transmission over a resource of the available resources.

Abstract:
A mechanism is disclosed for performing sidelink positioning between a target user equipment (UE) and an anchor UE, with or without interaction with a fifth generation radio access network (5G) base station (gNB). The mechanism includes transmitting a positioning request from a target UE to one or more anchor UEs via a sidelink communication. Positioning signal received from the one or more anchor UEs via the sidelink communication. Positioning measurement is performed based on the positioning signal.

A reduced capability (RedCap) user equipment (UE) receives a system information block (SIB), in a first initial downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) based on a first configuration within a master information block (MIB) received by the RedCap UE, the SIB indicating a second configuration for a second initial DL BWP, wherein the RedCap UE has a maximum bandwidth capability less than a minimum bandwidth capability for a non-RedCap UE, and wherein a bandwidth of the second initial DL BWP is no larger than the maximum bandwidth capability; receives transmissions in the first initial DL BWP before an initial access procedure; and receives transmissions in the second initial DL BWP during and after the initial access procedure in response to the RedCap UE transmitting a random access channel (RACH).
