Abstract: Methods and apparatuses of handling a bandwidth part (BWP) inactivity timer during a Random Access procedure in a wireless communication system are disclosed herein. In one method, a user equipment (UE) starts a BWP timer for a serving cell operating in a paired spectrum. The UE initiates a contention-based Random Access (RA) procedure on the serving cell and stops the BWP timer. The UE starts the BWP timer upon successful completion of the RA procedure, wherein the UE considers the contention-based RA procedure successfully completed if a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) addressed to a Cell Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) of the UE is received and the PDCCH contains an uplink grant for a new transmission.

Abstract: A tracking device can securely communicate with a secondary device by generating a hash value based on the identity of the tracking device. If the secondary device cannot resolve the hash value, the hash value can be provided to a tracking server, such as a cloud server, for resolving the hash value. Upon resolving the hash value, the tracking server can store a location of the tracking device in association with the identity of the tracking device. To preserve power, the secondary device can activate location-detection functionality (such as a GPS receive) only in response to the detection of movement of the tracking device, can obtain location information, and can de-activate the location-detection functionality upon providing the location information to the tracking server. The tracking server can associate one or both of a previous location and the current location information based on movement of the tracking device.

Abstract: A method and a device in a UE and a base station for wireless communication are disclosed. The UE monitors a first sequence in a first time window. If the first sequence is detected in the first time window, performs a blind detection of a first signaling on K1 alternative RE set(s); the first signaling occupies one of K1 alternative RE set(s) in time-frequency domain, each RE included in K1 alternative RE set(s) belongs to an alternative time-frequency resource pool in a second time window in time domain. The first sequence is used for determining a start time of the alternative time-frequency resource pool in the second time window. The disclosure determines the start time of the alternative time-frequency resource pool by using the first sequence, increasing transmitting opportunities of control signalings without increasing number of times of blind detections, improving spectrum efficiency and overall system performance on unlicensed spectrum.
