    摘要: Embodiments include exemplary methods for CLI mitigation. The methods comprise receiving (1310), from at least one sending network node, a TDD configuration of the at least one sending network node, the TDD configuration identifying at least one slot of the TDD configuration as either a fixed uplink slot or a fixed downlink slot, and at least one slot of the TDD configuration as a flexible slot for which at least one symbol has an undefined transmission direction and the remaining symbols of the slot, if any, have a defined transmission direction. The methods also comprise adapting (1320) operations in a cell based on the received TDD configuration for mitigating CLI with the at least one sending network node. Embodiments also include network nodes configured to eperform the exemplary methods and/or procedures.

    摘要: Embodiments include methods, performed by a network node, for configuring a physical random-access channel (PRACH) of a cell in a time-division-duplexed (TDD) radio access network (RAN). The methods include determining an increase in a level of remote interference in the cell and, in response to determining the increase, selecting a first PRACH configuration from a first subset of available PRACH configurations. The first subset of available PRACH configurations can be more robust against remote interference than a second subset of the available PRACH configurations, and the first subset can be exclusive of the second subset. The methods also include transmitting, to one or more user equipment (UEs) first information indicating that the first PRACH configuration should be used for accessing the cell via the PRACH. Embodiments also include complementary methods performed by UEs, as well as network nodes and UEs configured to perform such methods.

    摘要: A method and device for two-step random accessing. The method includes transmitting a random access preamble and a data block on a time-frequency resource to a network device; and receiving a response message for the random accessing from the network device. The data block is encoded with an orthogonal cover code and/or a cyclic shift, and the data block comprises data information and a reference signal associated with the data information. Therefore, resource efficiency is improved significantly for an associated data message following a random access preamble with endurable minor performance degradation.
