    摘要: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive, from a base station, information concerning an association between synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block transmissions and physical random access channel (PRACH) resources. In an example, each SS/PBCH block transmission may be associated with a transmission beam of the base station. The WTRU may receive the SS/PBCH block transmissions and select one of the transmissions. Further, the WTRU may compare a reference signal received power (RSRP) associated with the selected transmission to a threshold. The WTRU may then determine between performing a random access procedure of a first type and a second type based on the comparison. Also, the WTRU may select a PRACH resource based on the selected transmission and the information concerning the association between the transmissions and the PRACH resources. Moreover, the WTRU may transmit a PRACH preamble, for the determined random access procedure, using the selected PRACH resource.

Based on the QoS level and channel load, HARQ feedback characteristics may be determined. The WTRU may then transmit an SCI to another WTRU which indicates the HARQ feedback characteristics. In an embodiment, the mapping rule may indicate that a HARQ feedback format is to be used for HARQ feedback of the data. The data may be transmitted and HARQ feedback of the data may be received in accordance with the HARQ feedback format.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for interleaving coded bits. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may generate a plurality of polar encoded bits using polar encoding. The WTRU may divide the plurality of polar encoded bits into sub-blocks of equal size in a sequential manner. The WTRU may apply sub-block wise interleaving to the sub-blocks using an interleaver pattern. The sub-blocks associated with a subset of the sub-blocks may be interleaved, and sub-blocks associated with another subset of the sub-blocks may not be interleaved. The sub-block wise interleaving may include applying interleaving across the sub-blocks without interleaving bits associated with each of the sub-blocks. The WTRU may concatenate bits from each of the interleaved sub-blocks to generate interleaved bits, and store the interleaved bits associated with the interleaved sub-blocks in a circular buffer. The WTRU may select a plurality of bits for transmission from the interleaved bits.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for beam management are disclosed. A WTRU may include a plurality of antenna panels, each antenna panel comprising a plurality of antennas configured to transmit on directional transmit (TX) beams. The WTRU may send, to a transmission reception point (TRP), antenna panel capability information for the plurality of antenna panels and receive a reference signal (RS) configuration for configuring RS resource sets. The WTRU may send an RS transmission trigger frame identifying triggered RS resource sets from the configured RS resource sets. The WTRU may identify a set of antenna panels to be used with the triggered RS resource sets. The WTRU may determine an UL TX beam sweeping mode and an association between the triggered RS resources sets and the set of antenna panels. The WTRU may perform UL beam sweeping using the triggered RS resource sets and associated set of antenna panels.

    摘要: A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may receive a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) transmission and perform early termination on the PDCCH transmission. Transmissions that are not intended for the WTRU may be terminated. The WTRU may perform a first decode of the PDCCH transmission based on a first scrambling sequence. The first scrambling sequence may be generated using a Gold sequence, which may be initialized based on a WTRU identifier. If the first decode is not successful, the WTRU may determine that the PDCCH transmission is not intended for the WTRU. The WTRU may perform an assistance bit added (ABA) polar decode of the PDCCH transmission based on a second scrambling sequence (e.g., a cell radio network temporary ID (C-RNTI)). The WTRU may perform a CRC on the output of the ABA polar decode to obtain downlink control information (DCI).

    摘要: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may monitor control resource sets (CORESETs) to receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) having downlink control information (DCI) that includes a scheduling offset and an indicated beam for a scheduled physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception. When the scheduling offset of the scheduled PDSCH is less than a threshold, a default beam of a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state may be utilized to receive the scheduled PDSCH. When the scheduling offset of the scheduled PDSCH is more than a threshold, the indicated beam is utilized to receive the scheduled PDSCH on a condition that a measured quality is above a measurement threshold or the default beam may be utilized when the measured quality is below the measurement threshold.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for performing sidelink communications in a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) using Long Term Evolution (LTE) and New Radio (NR) technologies is described herein. A WTRU receives downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from a gNodeB (gNB), wherein the DCI is associated with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The a determination is made as to whether the DCI is for an LTE or NR technology sidelink transmission. On a condition that the DCI is for NR technology, the WTRU determines which transmit modulation and coding scheme (MCS) table to apply based on the masking of at least some of the bits in the CRC. Then the WTRU transmits sidelink data on resources indicated by the DCI using the determined MCS table. The WTRU may also receive HARQ feedback on resources indicated by the DCI for HARQ feedback.
