Abstract: Disclosed are wireless communication system base stations. Each wireless communication base station comprises a communication module and a processor. When the base stations carry out DRS- and nonunicast data-multiplexed transmission, the processors select one channel access type among two channel access types according to whether both of two conditions are satisfied, the two conditions being that the duration of the DRS- and nonunicast data-multiplexed transmission is 1 ms or less, and the duty cycle of DRS transmission is 1/20 or less. Among the two channel access types, the first type is channel access in which random backoff is carried out using a variable-size contention window (CW), the size of the CW being determined according to channel access priority class; and the second type is channel access in which only single time interval-based LBT is carried out.

Abstract: An IoT service of a provider network may be used to provision edge devices with duplicate device identifiers for edge devices that use a radio communication protocol (e.g., LoRaWAN). This may allow a service provider to accept legitimate registration requests from edge devices instead of automatically rejecting them. When the IoT service receives a registration request, the service determines whether there are other devices registered with the same device ID. If so, then the service determines whether to accept or reject the request. For example, the service may determine whether the number of duplicate device IDs being used for registered devices will remain within a predefined threshold if the device is registered. If so, then the service registers the device. Otherwise, the service rejects the request.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may perform a random access procedure to synchronize with a network for uplink and/or downlink communication. The UE may transmit a first type of random access transmission that includes transmitting a preamble or a second type of random access transmission that includes transmitting a preamble and a random access message. The second type may result in reduced delay but may have lesser SNR tolerance than the first type. In some aspects, the UE may determine whether to transmit the first type or the second type, and may transmit the first type or the second type in a random access channel portion of a slot. The random access channel portion of the slot may be occupied by portions of either the first type of random access transmission or the second type of random access transmission, thereby enabling flexible utilization of multiple types of random access procedure.

Abstract: Aspects relate to selecting a physical cell identifier (PCI) that a user equipment (UE) uses to obtain a timing reference for a mobility measurement. A serving base station (BS) associated with multiple cells may select a set of these cells as candidate cells for a UE and send to the UE a set of candidate PCIs associated with those cells (e.g., one PCI for each cell). The BS may select a subset of the candidate cells to serve to the UE and indicate to the UE the corresponding subset of PCIs. The UE may select a PCI from the set of candidate PCIs (or from the subset of PCIs) to use for obtaining a timing reference for a synchronization signal block (SSB) measurement. The UE may select a PCI based on a defined rule. The UE may select a PCI based on signaling from the BS.

Abstract: A system that determines that devices are co-located in an acoustic region and selects a single device to which to send incoming notifications for the acoustic region. The system may group devices into separate acoustic regions based on selection data that selects between similar audio data received from multiple devices. The system may select the best device for each acoustic region based on a frequency that the device was selected previously, input/output capabilities of the device, a proximity to a user, or the like. The system may send a notification to a single device in each of the acoustic regions so that a user receives a single notification instead of multiple unsynchronized notifications. The system may also determine that acoustic regions are associated with different locations and select acoustic regions to which to send a notification based on location.
