The method includes receiving cyclic shift information for a reference signal from the base station; transmitting, to the base station, the data and a reference signal which is cyclic-shifted using a cyclic shift value, the cyclic shift value being determined based on a dynamic cyclic shift value mapped one-to-one to the cyclic shift information for the reference signal; and receiving, from the base station, the ACK/NACK information about the transmitted data through a radio resource of a downlink channel, the radio resource of the downlink channel being identified based on a modifier mapped one-to-one to the cyclic shift information for the reference signal.

Abstract: Techniques are described for multicast service translation. A router can provide access to a particular source for an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) channel that is most appropriate for the subscriber despite the subscriber requesting the IPTV channel from a different source. The most appropriate source can be identified based upon a bit rate or quality of service associated with the subscriber and/or a bit rate or quality of service associated with each of one or more alternate sources of the IPTV channel. The router can receive a request to join a multicast stream from a client device of the subscriber that identifies a source associated with an IPTV channel, identify a different source of the IPTV channel for that subscriber, and transmit a different join request destined to the different source.

A first set of aspects can involve coordination of measurement gap configuration for a UE between a MN (Master Node) and SN (Secondary Node). A second set of aspects can involve estimation of timing for activation and/or deactivation of SCell(s) (Secondary Cell(s)) in DC (Dual Connectivity) scenarios. Various embodiments can employ techniques of the first set of aspects and/or the second set of aspects.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a communication method and a communication device. The method includes: configuring at least one serving cell for each terminal, each of the at least one serving cell working on an unlicensed carrier; selecting at least one of the at least one serving cell as a primary cell or a primary secondary cell of the terminal, the selected serving cell forming a primary cell group or a primary secondary cell group of the terminal; and controlling the primary cell group or the primary secondary cell group to send a MIB to the terminal. The technical solution improves a transmission probability of the MIB of the primary cell group or the primary secondary cell group on an unlicensed frequency band, ensuring that a user receives the MIB in time to perform a time synchronization, the communication is normal, and delay and efficiency requirements of communication are met.

Abstract: The solution presented herein controls a transmission timing of data from multiple transmission points to synchronize the data reception at a receiver to within pre-specified limits. To that end, a skew timing is determined from a difference between a second delay (a transmission time between the master node and a second slave node) and a first delay (a transmission time between a master node and a first slave node). A deadzone mapping is applied to the initial liming error (determined from a difference between a reference skew timing and the skew timing) to determine a final timing error. The deadzone mapping is configured to adjust the initial timing error responsive to a comparison between the initial timing error and a timing error range. The first and second delays are controlled using the final timing error to keep the skew timing within the timing error range.

Abstract: An example operation may include a system comprising one or more of receiving a heartbeat failure notification in a VNFCI when the VNFCI is in standby state, sending to a Virtual Network Function Manager (VNFM), by an operational state machine, a next state request message, determining if a peer VNFCI is online when an administrative state of the peer VNFCI is online, determining an operational state of the peer VNFCI when the peer VNFCI is online, sending a first next state response message with a standby state to the VNFCI when the peer VNFCI operational state is active, sending a second next state response with an active state to the VNFCI when the peer VNFCI operational state is not active, examining, in the VNFCI, a next state attribute in a received next state response message, staying in a standby state when the next state attribute is standby, and transitioning to active state when the next state attribute is active.

Abstract: In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information (DCI) that includes a timing value indicating a timing of an opportunity, subsequent to reception of the DCI, for transmission or reception of a communication corresponding to the DCI. The UE may determine an uplink opportunity or a downlink opportunity for transmission or reception of the communication based at least in part on the timing of the opportunity. A counter for determining the uplink opportunity may be incremented only for transmission time intervals (TTIs) in which the UE is allowed to transmit the communication in an uplink channel. A counter for determining the downlink opportunity may be incremented only for TTIs in which the UE can expect to receive the communication in a downlink channel. The UE may transmit or receive the communication in the uplink opportunity or the downlink opportunity. Other aspects are disclosed.

Abstract: A UE may identify a first indication associated with a first signaling to be received in a time interval and identify a second indication associated with a second signaling to be received in the time interval. The UE may select to receive and receive, in the time interval, at least one of the first signaling or the second signaling based on at least one of the first or second indications. One or more of the first and second indications may be received from a BS or determined by the UE via predefined or other means. A BS may convey indications of the first and/or second signaling. The first and second indications may be transmitted sufficiently before the signaling in an effort to allow the UE to select and tune its receiver beam in the direction of the signaling to be received.
