Abstract: Techniques are described to improve the transmission and reception of access signals such as synchronization signal block (SSB), system information, or paging message. As an example, a wireless communication method is disclosed where a network node, such as a base station, determines a first set of transmission times and/or a second set of transmission times to transmit access signals. The network node transmits the access signals over a wireless channel using the first set of transmission times and/or the second set of transmission times. The access signals can include system information, paging message, or synchronization signal block.

Abstract: In a wireless network, a base station in 5G or 6G often retains a message on hold if the intended user device is temporarily unavailable. To alert the user device, the base station may periodically transmit a polling array consisting of extremely brief (single-bit) indicators at particular time-frequency locations assigned to each user device. The user devices can monitor the polling array, and thereby determine that they have a message on hold. Users can then request the message using a similar terse code. In addition, the base station can divide the user devices into sections, and transmit only the polling array sections that have at least one message on hold, thereby saving time and resources. The user-reply array can be similarly structured, for further resource efficiency. Many other aspects are disclosed.

Abstract: For carrier's that have a large number of user equipment (UE) devices camped on them, the experience of a user equipment devices that utilize a subscriber prioritization identity (SPID) can be of a lower quality than it would be on another lower priority carrier because of the carrier load. Thus, SPID based UEs can be placed on carriers with the best throughput potential in the uplink. To achieve this, a SPID profile for the SPID based UE can be dynamically changed such the SPID based UE can transition to a carrier of better quality. UE devices are grouped per SPID ranges and each SPID has assigned cell carrier priority. In one embodiment, a system optimization network can monitor and detect UE performance on each cell and determine which cells are underperforming and which cells are performing better than other cells.
