    摘要: An apparatus and a method are disclosed for wireless communication with an external device. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE) provided for wireless communication with an external device. The UE includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, via the transceiver, a radio resource control (RRC) signal; determine a virtual bandwidth part (vBWP) based on the RRC signal, the vBWP including a plurality of narrowband (NB) bandwidth parts (BWPs) in a carrier bandwidth for the UE to perform communication at a given time instance, and determine a bandwidth location in the carrier bandwidth of at least one of the plurality of NB BWPs. If a first relative frequency of the bandwidth location in a first NB BWP is the same as a second relative frequency of a bandwidth location in a second NB BWP, then information included in downlink control information (DCI) is re-used to identify the bandwidth location.

    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: Systems and methods for sidelink transmission. In some embodiments, a method includes: determining, by a User Equipment (UE), a measure of channel congestion, the measure of channel congestion being a channel busy ratio or a channel occupancy ratio; determining, by the UE, a determined contention window size, based on the measure of channel congestion; and waiting, during a first interval of time, without making a sidelink transmission, wherein a length of the first interval of time is based on the determined contention window size.
