    摘要: A system and a method are disclosed for determining, by a targeted receiving User Equipment (UE), that a corresponding transmitting UE has a future reserved resource block. The receiving UE may perform a Listen Before Talk (LBT) sensing to identify a time period when an unlicensed channel is unoccupied and can be used by the corresponding transmitting UE for the future reserved sidelink transmission. The receiving UE may transmit a reservation signal for the unlicensed channel to the corresponding transmitting UE, during at least a portion of the time period when the unlicensed channel is unoccupied. Further, the receiving UE may, switch, to a receiving mode prior to or at a reserved slot boundary of the future reserved resource block.

    摘要: A system and method for managing a Discovery Burst Transmission Window in a wireless communication system. In some embodiments, the method includes: receiving, by a User Equipment (UE), a first Signal Synchronization Block (SSB); decoding a first Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) from the first SSB; determining, from a Master Information Block (MIB) of the first PBCH, a first beam value; determining, from the first PBCH, a first candidate Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel (SS/PBCH) block index; and calculating a first SS/PBCH block index as A mod Q, wherein A is the first candidate SS/PBCH block index and Q is the first beam value.

    摘要: A user equipment (UE) includes a memory and a processor configured to perform directional listen before talk (LBT) to identify a set of narrow beam and sub-band combinations available for transmission; transmit, to a base station (gNB), at least one schedule request in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) over the identified set of narrow beam and sub-band combinations; receive, from the gNB, an uplink grant for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) data transmission over at least one narrow beam and sub-band combination selected by the gNB from the identified set of narrow beam and sub-band combinations; and acquire a channel occupancy time (COT) duration for the at least one narrow beam and sub-band combination selected by the gNB as part of the uplink grant.

    摘要: A system and method for channel access mode selection. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving, by a user equipment (UE), an interference measurement configuration from a network; performing, by the UE, a first interference measurement according to the interference measurement configuration; and implementing a first channel access mode. The implementing of the first channel access mode may include (i) identifying, by the UE, the first channel access mode based on the first interference measurement; or (ii) reporting, by the UE, a result of the first interference measurement, in order for the first channel access mode based on the first interference measurement to be identified.

    摘要: A method for random access in a communication network may include detecting a first candidate beam at a UE, detecting a second candidate beam at the UE, transmitting, from the UE, one or more first messages of a random access procedure, and indicating, by the one or more first messages, the first candidate beam and the second candidate beam. Another method for random access in a communication network may include detecting a first candidate beam at a UE, detecting a second candidate beam at the UE, receiving, at the UE, traffic information for the first candidate beam and the second candidate beam, selecting the first candidate beam based on the traffic information, and transmitting, based on the selecting, a first message of a random access procedure using the first candidate beam. The traffic information comprises load information.

    摘要: A system and a method are disclosed for beam refinement to enable inactive mode transmission in frequency range 2 for 3GPP RedCap devices. A RedCap device receives system information in a SIB1 from a wireless network in which the SIB1 includes information relating to an indication of resources used to transmit a SIB-x. The device receives the SIB-x, which includes an indication of at least one resource, at least one configuration for a Downlink-Reference Signal (DL-RS) transmission, and information relating to a measurement report relating to the beam-refinement measurement that is to be performed by a device. The device receives the DL-RS transmission from the wireless communication network, performs the beam-refinement measurement, and sends a measurement report to the wireless network. Subsequent to sending the measurement report, the device sends an enhanced transmission to the wireless network based on the measurement report.
