Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters indicating a first transport block (TB) size threshold of a first random access (RA) type and indicating a second TB size threshold of a second RA type with the second TB size threshold being larger than the first TB size threshold. An RA type of an RA procedure for transmitting a data unit is selected with the selected RA type being the first RA type in response to a size of the data unit being smaller than or equal to the first TB size threshold and the selected RA type being the second RA type in response to the size of the data unit being: larger than the first TB size threshold and smaller than or equal to the second TB size threshold. The data unit is transmitted using the RA procedure based on the selected RA type.

Abstract: A source access and mobility management function (AMF) sends, to a target AMF, a first message indicating: a handover of a wireless device; and a source session management function (SMF). A second message causing a release of at least one second session of the wireless device is received from the target AMF. A request for the release of the at least one second session is sent to the source SMF. An indication of completion of the release is received from the source SMF. An indication of the completion of the release is sent to the target AMF.

Abstract: An apparatus (e.g., an access point (AP) or a non-AP station (STA)) detects a non-primary subband of an operating bandwidth comprising a primary subband and the non-primary subband to be idle. The apparatus controls a transmit power in performing transmission on at least the non-primary subband.

Abstract: A WTRU may be configured to perform radio link monitoring (RLM) based on RLM reference signals (RLM-RSs) transmitted in a cell operating in an unlicensed spectrum. The WTRU may evaluate a radio link failure (RLF) status for the cell using a first RLM criteria based on the RLM-RSs. A transmission instance of the RLM-RSs may be skipped, for example, due to a listen before talk (LBT) failure at a gNodeB (gNB). The WTRU may adapt or change the first RLM criteria and/or evaluate the RLF status of the cell operating in the unlicensed spectrum using a second RLM criteria based on determining that the transmission instance of the RLM-RSs was skipped. The first RLM criteria may correspond to a first RLM process that utilizes a first set of RLM parameters. The second RLM criteria may correspond to a second RLM process that utilizes a second set of RLM parameters.

Abstract: An update service of a provider network transmits an update to an edge device by opportunistically selecting one communication channel (or transmission bandwidth) over another (e.g., based on analysis of performance metrics associated with the channel) to transmit different portions of the update to the edge device. For example, the update service may choose the channel with highest available bandwidth or the channel with the lowest failure rates. The update service may receive indications from the edge device that transmission of different update portions was successful. In some cases, the edge device itself may instead perform the selection of one communication channel over another (e.g., based on analysis of channel metrics) to receive different portions of the update at the edge device. The edge device may transmit indications that the edge device successfully received different portions of the update.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to several techniques for reducing the occurrence of data collisions, which can occur when multiple devices simultaneously transmit data in the same (frequency) channel. For example, a turnaround time in which a device switches from a receive mode of operation to a transmit mode of operation may be reduced based on the device and another device indicating that they are capable of operating with a reduced turnaround. As another example, devices may use learning-based turnaround estimation to determine a turnaround time supported by other devices and utilize the determined turnaround time, for instance, instead of a longer turnaround time. As yet another example, multiple clear channel assessments may be performed before transmitting data. For instance, a first clear channel assessment may be performed during a backoff period, and a second clear channel assessment may be performed afterwards before data is transmitted.

Abstract: Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) is a novel modulation scheme with significant benefits for 5G systems. The fundamental theory behind OTFS is presented in this paper as well as its benefits. We start with a mathematical description of the doubly fading delay-Doppler channel and develop a modulation that is tailored to this channel. We model the time varying delay-Doppler channel in the time-frequency domain and derive a new domain (the OTFS domain) where we show that the channel is transformed to a time invariant one and all symbols see the same SNR. We explore aspects of the modulation like delay and Doppler resolution, and address design and implementation issues like multiplexing multiple users and evaluating complexity. Finally we present some performance results where we demonstrate the superiority of OTFS.

EDCA functions are configured to operate with multiple sets of operating parameters providing a range of priority levels for altering on the fly the nominal access time for a STA sending prioritized packets. The STA then must switch to a lower-priority set of parameters as recompense so that channel usage remains fair.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a first sensing signal of a radio frequency (RF) sensing procedure at a first transmit power. The UE may receive, from a base station at least in part in response to the first sensing signal, a power control message for sensing signals of the RF sensing procedure. The power control message may indicate a power control strategy for transmitting sensing signals of the RF sensing procedure. The UE may then transmit, at a second transmit power based on the received power control message, a second sensing signal of the RF sensing procedure.
