Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a method for acquiring information of access resources, a terminal device, and a base station. A terminal device detects a synchronization signal of a cell to be accessed by the terminal device. The terminal device further receives a broadcast channel of the cell on a broadcast channel resource. The terminal device then determines a resource on which the cell is located according to resource indication information carried in the broadcast channel. The broadcast channel resource corresponds to an actual access resource, and the synchronization signal is detected on the actual access resource. The actual access resource is one of a plurality of candidate access resources of the cell. The resource indication information indicates a location relationship between the actual access resource and the resource on which the cell is located.

Abstract: A technique for reducing interference on conducted RF links involves a determination of active wireless channels in an electronic device. For example, the device can determine whether there are any active cellular, WiFi, and/or Bluetooth channels. If so, any active channels can be removed from a list of possible channels that can be used for generating the RF signals for the conducted RF link. If any idle channels remain available, one or more may be selected for use for the conducted RF link. Those idle channels having a higher offset from any active channels may be given a greater weight in the selection since they should be less likely to be subject to interference. If not, one of the least crowded active channels may be selected for use for the conducted RF link.

Abstract: Timer configurations for new radio (NR) unlicensed (NR-U) and NR shared spectrum (NR-SS) operations are disclosed. In NR-U and NR-SS operations, certain event timers may be interrupted by a user equipment (UE) when it detects that its serving base station has failed a listen before talk (LBT) procedure, thereby losing access to the shared communication spectrum. When the UE detects a subsequent successful LBT, it resumes the progression of the event timer. In NR-SS operations, the UE may also interrupt the applicable timers either in all slots dedicated to another operator or in all slots in which the serving base station does not have transmission access.
