    摘要: A transmission allocation method is disclosed for a network node of a wireless communication system configured to communicate using an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal comprising sub-carriers in a frequency domain and a symbols in a time domain. The network node is associated with a network node bandwidth comprising a network node direct current (DC) sub-carrier. The network node is configured to communicate with a wireless communication device (WCD) associated with a WCD bandwidth comprising a WCD DC sub-carrier which is different from the network node DC sub-carrier. The method comprises acquiring, in relation to an upcoming communication between the network node and the WCD, at least one of an indication of a receiver DC frequency and an indication of a transmitter DC frequency, determining a transmission allocation for the upcoming communication based on the acquired indication(s), and performing communication based on the transmission allocation.

    摘要: Systems and methods for transmitting and receiving other broadcast information, OBI, are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of wireless communication device for a wireless communication system comprises receiving and decoding a transmission unit in which OBI is collocated with at least a portion of a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB). The SSB comprises a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH). The OBI comprises paging messages, remaining minimum system information (RMSI), and/or random access response (RAR) messages. In some embodiments, the transmission unit is a transmission unit having a duration that is two or more symbols but less than a duration of a full slot. In this manner, resources of the wireless communication system are efficiently utilized, which results in higher link and system capacity as well as lower network power consumption from increased stand-by times.
