Abstract: An objective is to suppress degradation of the usability of radio terminals even in cases in which the modes of use of the radio terminals fluctuate. A placement change determiner (510) determines, based on information associated with conditions or future conditions estimated from the conditions in a service area to which one or more RUs (Radio Units) in a mobile communication system belong, a placement change regarding at least one NF (Network Function) among NFs in the mobile communication system. A placement destination determiner (520) determines, based on the information, an NF to be changed and a placement destination of the NF to be changed. A deployer (530) executes the placement change by instantiating the NF to be changed at the placement destination.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for enabling collision mitigation for a user equipment (UE) operating in a dual active mode. In some aspects, the UE may generate a communication for a first subscription in a first time window associated with a first priority for a time domain division pattern with a second subscription. The UE may transmit, using the first subscription, the communication in a second time window associated with a second priority for the time domain division pattern. For example, the second time window associated with the second priority may be a time window in which traffic for the first subscription is prioritized. In some aspects, the UE may select modified periodic intervals for transmissions of a communication to mitigate collisions associated with the time domain division pattern. For example, a transmission time of the periodic communication may be varied (or randomized) over time.

Abstract: A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may be configured to receive configuration information from a network regarding a set of spatial filters for the WTRU to use to communicate with the network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining which part or operation of one or more Secondary Cell (SCell) activation process (es) to defer or restart when an attempt to simultaneously perform multiple operations of the one or more SCell activation processes would cause interference. For example, radio frequency (RF) tuning and/or automatic gain control (AGC) settling for an SCell activation may be deferred until after a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) for the SCell activation is sent by a UE to the SCell. In another example, RF tuning and/or AGC settling corresponding to the activation of a first SCell may be deferred until after RF tuning and/or AGC settling corresponding to the activation of a second SCell is complete.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for resource allocation are disclosed herein. Specifically, a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may measure a reference signal received power (RSRP) level and a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value of one or more resources in each of a plurality of patterns.

On a condition that at least one of the plurality of patterns is not excluded, the WTRU may select a pattern with a lowest pattern RSSI value and a one or more resources satisfying a quality of service (QoS) requirement of data of the WTRU. The WTRU may then transmit the data of the WTRU using the selected pattern.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for reference signal sequence detection by a user equipment (UE). The reference signal sequence may indicate one or more control channel candidates that are to be monitored for control information transmissions to the UE. A base station may transmit control information with a set of parameters for two or more reference signal sequences that are each associated different subsets of decoding candidates within a search space occasion. The UE may monitor the search space occasion and detect a first reference signal sequence and may identify a first subset of the two or more subsets of control channel candidate locations for a blind decoding procedure based on the detection of the first reference signal sequence.

Abstract: A message transmission method is provided. User equipment may receive a power saving message from a network device, where the power saving message carries indication information of a short message, and the short message includes at least one of the following: a public warning system notification or system information modification information. Then, the user equipment obtains the short message from the power saving message. In this way, when the user equipment is in a connected state, the user equipment may obtain the short message by using the power saving message, for example, a PoSS, instead of by monitoring a paging PDCCH; and when the UE is in a sleep state, the UE is not woken up to monitor the paging PDCCH. This reduces power consumption of the user equipment in the connected state.

Abstract: A base station and a UE may communicate using directional beams, such as a downlink directional beam (used to transmit downlink channels) and an uplink directional beam (used to transmit uplink channels), each beam carrying one or more data channels, control channels, and/or reference signals. According to one aspect, signaling for managing the uplink channels and downlink channels may be sent over a shared common beam. The shared common beam is distinct from the uplink directional beam and the downlink directional beam. In one example, a first shared common channel may serve to manage or update uplink data channels (on the uplink directional beam) and downlink data channels (on the downlink directional beam), while a second shared common channel may serve to manage or update uplink control channels (on the uplink directional beam) and downlink control channels (on the downlink directional beam).
