Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for transmitting grant-free based uplink data in a wireless communication system. Specifically, a terminal receives, from a base station, allocation information for a grant-free uplink resource that is semi-statically allocated. The terminal receives, from the base station, allocation information for a first reference signal used for initial transmission of uplink data and allocation information for a second reference signal used for retransmission of the uplink data. The terminal transmits the uplink data through the grant-free uplink resource by using the first reference signal. If decoding of the uplink data fails, the terminal receives, from the base station, an uplink grant corresponding to the second reference signal. The terminal retransmits the uplink data by using the second reference signal on the basis of the uplink grant.

Abstract: A virtual channel (VC) allocation system is provided. During operation, the system can maintain, at an ingress port of a switch, a set of counters.

The system can maintain, at an egress port, an ingress VC indicator indicating that a packet in an egress buffer for an egress VC corresponds to the ingress VC. Upon sending the packet, the system can update a counter based on the ingress VC indicator. The counter can be associated with the egress buffer and the ingress VC. The system can then issue, to a sender device, credits associated with the ingress VC based on a minimum number of available data units indicated by the set of counters.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine its position based on one or more position reference signals (PRSs), which the UE receives via different component carriers (CCs). The UE may maintain an active state with a first CC transmitting a PRS, while activating and deactivating a secondary CC that may transmit PRSs based on a periodic interval. Additionally, the UE may apply similar techniques for inactive BWPs where a PRS spans multiple BWPs. In some implementations, the position of the UE may enhance a UE mobility procedure based on determining a resource to use for the UE mobility procedure that is dependent upon the position of the UE. For example, the UE mobility procedure may include a random access procedure or a handover procedure. Additionally, the resources used for the mobility procedures may be quasi co-located with PRSs.
