Abstract: A method for requesting a target system information block (SIB) associated with a target service is provided. The method initiates a dedicated SIB request procedure to send, to a serving cell, a request for the target SIB. The method initiates the dedicated SIB request procedure while the UE has stored at least one SIB segment of a plurality of SIB segments associated with the target SIB, and before the target SIB is successfully assembled based on the plurality of SIB segments. The method transmits, to the serving cell, the request for the target SIB to the serving cell and upon the transmission of the request starts a timer, where a second dedicated SIB request procedure is not allowed to be initiated while the timer is running.

Abstract: Devices, methods and non-transitory computer-readable medium for adaptively selective retransmissions in wireless communications are disclosed. The present application allows enhancing short packet data retransmission performance under short delay constraints. Using a retransmission indication for at least one segment of consecutive forward error correction (FEC) encoded bits reduces feedback signaling overhead compared to signaling retransmission requests individually for each of the coded bits. Accordingly, active hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) transmissions with low amounts of feedback information are enabled.

The wireless transmitter/receiver (106) transmits the Trigger frame, generated by the Trigger frame generator (104), to a terminal (200).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify uplink (UL) control information (UCI) to transmit during a subframe. The UE may then select a UL channel on which to transmit the UCI based on whether a shared data and control UL channel employs contention-based scheduling. For example, multiple UEs could contend for access to the same semi-persistently scheduled (SPS) physical UL shared channel (PUSCH). Each UE may utilize a different demodulation reference (DMRS) signal cyclic shift to identify their transmissions. In some cases, some UCI, such as channel state information (CSI), may be transmitted on a contention-based PUSCH, while other UCI, such as acknowledgement information, may be transmitted on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). In some cases, the channel selection may be based on a configuration received from a base station.

Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for accessing a wireless medium for a NR-U deployed at 60 GHz. A directional CCA sensing is performed on a set of multiple beams in the medium in which each beam is oriented in a different direction. It is determined whether at least one beam of is busy and, if so, a back-off timer is initialized. The back-off timer is decreased by a predetermined amount based on a determination that all beams of the set of multiple beams are idle. The back-off timer is repeatedly decreased the predetermined amount based on a determination that all beams of the set of multiple beams are idle until the back-off timer equals a predetermined amount. Data is transmitted at least one beam of the set of multiple beams based on the back-off timer equaling the predetermined amount.

Abstract: The present invention relates to commissioning in the presence of multiple networks. A network node, which is expected to join a second network, joins a first network and enters a second state from a first state once it has joined the first network. Once it has received from the first network a message to leave it, it enters a third state from the second state. The network node entered the third state becomes responsive with respect to the first network and/or the second network by receiving a dedicated message to join network or is unresponsive with respect to the first network. Then, it enters the first state from the third state once the network node has received the dedicated message from a coordinator of the first network after closing the first network and/or from a coordinator of the second network, or upon expiry of a timer.
