The method includes sending, by a first station (STA), respective preambles and data on a primary channel and at least one secondary channel of a communication channel to a second STA, where the at least one secondary channel includes some secondary channels of the communication channel, and a bandwidth (BW) sub-field in the preamble is set to a value that indicates a complete bandwidth of the communication channel and that indicates skipping preamble puncturing.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device of a tractor unit determines that the tractor unit is connected to a trailer via physical cabling. The device sends, via the physical cabling, a powerline communication (PLC) message to the trailer that includes a service set identifier (SSID) and password for a Wi-Fi transceiver of the tractor unit. The Wi-Fi transceiver of the tractor unit receives an association request sent wirelessly from a Wi-Fi transceiver of the trailer that is based on the sent SSID and password. The device establishes the Wi-Fi transceiver of trailer as a Wi-Fi client of the Wi-Fi transceiver of the tractor unit.

Abstract: A base station device can transmit data via multiple data channels to a single user equipment device. Each of the multiple data channels can be configured and scheduled via respective downlink control channels to the user equipment device. In an embodiment, the first data channel can be mapped to multiple layers, with a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) assigned based on the average channel quality indicator (CQI) of the layers. One or more of the layers can have a higher CQI however, capable of supporting an additional transmission. The base station device can then facilitate establishing a second data channel to the layer with the higher CQI. The MCS assigned to the second data traffic channel can be based on the CQI of the layer, or based on a difference between the average CQI of the layers and the CQI of the layer.

Abstract: A method for transmitting a data block begins with segmenting the data block into a number of data sub-blocks. Each data sub-block where a number of high bits is greater than a number of low bits is then inverted. The data sub-blocks are then grouped into sets of data sub-blocks. For each set of data sub blocks, a number of pulses indicative of a number of high bits in each one of the data sub-blocks in the set is transmitted, there is a delay, and a number of pulses indicative of each high bit in each data sub-block of the set of data sub-blocks is transmitted followed by a delay. Finally, a number of pulses indicative of which ones of the data sub-blocks were inverted is transmitted.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method whereby a first terminal transmits and receives sidelink signals in a wireless communication system, the sidelink signal transmission and reception method comprising the steps of: selecting a resource for executing a second transmission, the selection of which is restricted by the position of a resource selected for a first transmission; and executing the second transmission in the resource selected for the second transmission.

Abstract: A parent access node may establish a first link with a child access node. In some cases, the parent access node may determine to release a resource of the first. The parent access node may transmit downlink signaling indicating release of the resource. As such, the child node may schedule a child link resource (e.g., a parent-controlled resource) corresponding to the released resource. The child node may then communicate with a child node of its own in accordance with the scheduling of the child link resource. In some cases, the resource release indication may be associated with a one-time resource release, or may be associated with a semi-persistent release (e.g., until the parent node reclaims the released resources). In some examples, the child node may transmit an uplink message to request resources from the parent node (e.g., and the resource release may be based on the request).

The method is used for a first terminal device in an inactive state; the inactive state indicates that the first terminal device and a network device are in a disconnection state, and the first terminal device and the network device retain context information of the first terminal device. The method includes: generating indication information, which is used to indicate the first terminal device to release the context information, or not to release the context information; and sending the indication information to the first terminal device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device may communicate with a second device, which may be a Bluetooth device, using a relay profile (e.g., a low energy (LE) isochronous (ISO) relay profile). In accordance with broadcast discovery signaling by the device and decisions made by the Bluetooth device, the device may synchronize to a broadcast isochronous stream (BIS) from another device. The device may then establish a communication link with the second device (e.g., a synchronous connection oriented (SCO) link, an enhanced synchronous connection oriented (eSCO) link, an asynchronous connection less (ACL) link) to be used for relay of the BIS. The device may then convert, based on the relay profile, broadcast isochronous data packets of the BIS to SCO packets, eSCO packets, and/or ACL packets, and relay the converted packets to the second device via the established communication link.
