Abstract: According to some embodiments, systems, methods, and media for operating an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) encountered with small objects are described. According to a method, the ADV, when detecting an object in a lane in which the ADV is travelling, can determine whether the ADV can safely drive over the object based on attributes of the object and attributes of the ADV, and if so, can generate one or more planned trajectories that each enable the ADV to drive over the object. From the one or more planned trajectories, the ADV can select a planned trajectory that enables the ADV to drive over the object along the centerline of the ADV without causing the ADV to drive out of the lane. If no such planned trajectory exists, the ADV can bypass the object, or stop within a predetermined distance of the object.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing sidelink communications in a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) using Long Term Evolution (LTE) and New Radio (NR) technologies is described herein. A WTRU receives a downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission from a base station, where the DCI is associated with a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) that is scrambled using a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). The WTRU determines that the DCI indicates resources for a LTE sidelink transmission when the CRC is scrambled using a sidelink semi-persistent scheduling V-RNTI, and determines the DCI indicates resources for a new radio (NR) sidelink transmission when the CRC is scrambled using a sidelink (SL)-RNTI. The WTRU transmits SL data using the resources indicated by the determined DCI. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: A WTRU may select sidelink unicast or groupcast to transmit data. If the WTRU selects sidelink unicast, the WTRU may select to use HARQ ACK/NACK feedback for the transmission. If the WTRU selects sidelink groupcast, either HARQ NACK or HARQ ACK/NACK may be selected depending upon one or more factors. The WTRU may select HARQ NACK or HARQ ACK/NACK depending upon one or more of: a number of WTRUs to receive the data; a condition of a channel associated with transmission; or a quality of service associated with transmission. The WTRU may select a first or second PSFCH format for feedback based upon one or more factors. The WTRU may select a first or second PSFCH format based upon one or more of: the selected sidelink unicast or groupcast; the selected HARQ NACK or HARQ ACK/NACK feedback; or a quality of service associated with the transmission.

A transmission/reception point (TRP) may generate a concatenated master information block (MIB) transport block that includes information bits associated with system bandwidth information, timing information, system frame number (SFN), a beam sweeping configuration, and a control resource set (CORESET).

The TRP may then perform channel coding of the prioritized concatenated MIB and the at least 16 CRC bits to produce coded bits using at least one polar encoder with a coding rate that is less than 1/3, perform rate matching via repetition on the coded bits, and then transmit the rate matched, coded bits on the PBCH of a radio frame.

Abstract: A WTRU may include a memory and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive beam grouping information from a gNB or transmission and reception point (TRP). The beam grouping information may indicate a group of beams that the WTRU may report using group-based reporting. The group-based reporting may be a reduced level of reporting compared to a beam-based reporting. The group-based report may include measurement information for a representative beam. The representative beam may be one of the beams in the group or represents an average of the beams in the group. Alternatively, the representative beam may be a beam that has a maximum measurement value compared to other beams in the group. The group-based report may include a reference signal received power (RSRP) for the representative beam and a differential RSRP for each additional beamin the beam group.

Abstract: Methods and an apparatus for performing synchronization in New Radio (NR) systems are disclosed. A frequency band may be determined and may correspond to a WTRU. On a condition that the operational frequency band is a lower frequency, a synchronization signal block (SSB) index may be implicitly.

A configuration of actually transmitted SSBs may be determined using a multi-level two stage compressed indication where SSB groups are determined based on a coarse indicator and actually transmitted SSBs with the SSB groups are determined based on a fine indicator.

Abstract: A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive, from a base station, a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block transmission. The WTRU may transmit using a physical random access channel (PRACH) resource. Further, the PRACH resource may be determined based on an SS/PBCH block index.

In a further example, the information associated with the PBCH block may be derived from a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence. In another example, the DMRS sequence may be a PBCH DMRS sequence. Also, the information associated with the PBCH block may be derived from PBCH payload bits. Further, the SS/PBCH block index may be associated with a beam. In addition, SS/PBCH transmissions of different beams may be transmitted at different times. Further, the PRACH resource may include a preamble resource, a time resource and a frequency resource.
