    摘要: According to an example embodiment, a method may include transmitting, by a wireless node in a wireless network, a sidelink synchronization signal (S-SSB) block, including a sidelink primary synchronization signal (S-PSS), a sidelink secondary synchronization signal (S-SSS), a physical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), and a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS), wherein the demodulation reference signal is based on at least a sidelink demodulation reference signal initialization value for the sidelink synchronization signal block to provide sidelink priority-related information for the sidelink synchronization signal block.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for monitoring occasions in a downlink, such as paging occasions. In some example embodiments, there may be provided an apparatus that includes at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least receive information indicating a start of one or more paging occasions within at least a portion of a frame and monitor the one or more paging occasions in accordance with the received information. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

    摘要: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for robust system information (SI) delivery are provided. One method may include receiving, by a network node, a SI request from a UE, and transmitting an acknowledgement of the SI request to the UE. In one example, the method may include selecting, by the network node, a subset of downlink beams for transmitting the requested SI message. In an embodiment, the selecting may include selecting the subset of downlink beams based on SI requests associated with SS/PBCH blocks, and the subset of downlink beams associated with the SI requests are used for the delivery of an SI message.

    摘要: In accordance with an example embodiment, there is disclosed a method comprising: transmitting a first downlink channel via a primary beam within n slots, wherein n is a time between the transmission of an uplink control channel carrying HARQ information corresponding to the first downlink channel transmitted via the primary beam and a next time instance that a second downlink channel is configured be monitored from a secondary beam; receiving HARQ feedback within m slots calculated from a slot number configured to monitor the second downlink channel on at least one secondary beam, wherein m is time between a scheduled downlink channel and a next downlink channel monitoring instance via the secondary beam; and in response to receiving the HARQ feedback, ignoring a monitored downlink channel pattern and scheduling at least one user device using the primary beam on the slot number configured to monitor the second downlink channel on the at least one secondary beam.

    摘要: Signaling is received (or transmitted) to configure a UE with multiple transmit beams, each for receiving beam-specific DCI. A beam-specific current DCI is received at the UE (or transmitted from a network) on the transmit beam(s), including information about beam-specific previous DCIs transmitted to the UE on any of the multiple transmit beams within a predefined time window preceding a time unit in which the current DCI was received. Information about the beam-specific previous DCIs is used to determine that at least one of the multiple transmit beams has been blocked. Each of the multiple transmit beams that have been determined to be blocked is reported to (and received by) the network. In response to receiving from the UE a report indicating at least one multiple transmit beams has been blocked, the network reconfigures the UE with a different set of multiple transmit beams each for beam-specific DCI.
