Abstract: Examples for ensuring robust SRS transmission and reception can occur when coexisting with interference include moving WTRU SRS transmissions out of the interference band to mitigate interference to and from the interferer, increasing the number of OFDM symbols and/or the repetition factor for SRS to overcome the interference, dynamic switching/suspending of semi-persistent SRS and/or aperiodic SRS to mitigate interference to and from the interferer, and power boosting of SRS transmissions to overcome the interference.

Abstract: Methods for the determination of the risk for developing a head and neck cancer are described. The method is based on the determination of the methylation status of genomic DNA sequences located between the genes ZNF823 and ZNF833, wherein when the sequences are methylated the risk for developing a head and neck cancer is increased.

Abstract: A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) and methods are disclosed for mitigating radar interference with transmission and reception of RACH preambles. According to a first aspect, one or more first RACH preambles are transmitted based on a first RACH configuration. The WTRU may receive an RAR with an indication that the first RACH configuration is unavailable. The WTRU may then retrieve a second RACH configuration information. The WTRU may then transmit one or more second RACH preambles based on the second RACH configuration and then completes a random access procedure based on the second RACH configuration.

Abstract: The system and method detect at least one cell defining SSB (CD-SSB), extract information associated with at least one other CD-SSB, the information including at least the absoluteFrequencyotherSSBs for the at least one other CD-SSB, extract an absoluteFrequencySSB from a network, determine if absoluteFequencySSB is in a list of absoluteFrequencyotherSSBs and if so, the CD-SSB indicated by the absoluteFrequencySSB, read the SIB1 associated with the CD-SSB indicated by the absoluteFrequencySSB and perform random access using RACH resources corresponding to the read SIB1. The system and method may further include if the absoluteFrequencySSB is determined to not be in the list of absoluteFrequencyotherSSBs, read at least one SIB1 associated with at least one other CD-SSB indicated by an absoluteFrequencyotherSSB in the list of absoluteFrequencyotherSSBs and perform random access using RACH resources corresponding to the read at least one SIB1.

Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed to configure a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) with multiple physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) control resource sets (CORESETs) including at least a first PDCCH CORESET identifying first frequency resources of a downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) for detection of downlink control information (DCI) and a second PDCCH CORESET identifying second frequency resources of the DL BWP for detection of DCI. The WTRU monitors one or more search spaces linked to active PDCCH CORSETs for transmissions of DCI. On determination that an interferer may impact PDCCH resources, a network sends, and a WTRU receives, signaling to suspend monitoring of search spaces linked to one of the first PDCCH CORSET or the second PDCCH CORESET for a suspend time period. Upon expiration of the suspend time period or sending/receiving unsuspend signaling, the WTRU resumes monitoring search spaces linked to a previously suspended PDCCH CORESET.

Abstract: A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) and methods are disclosed for mitigating radar interference with uplink control channels may include receiving configuration information including a set of dedicated physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources for scheduling requests (SRs), the set includes first PUCCH resources of an UL BWP, and second PUCCH resources of the UL BWP different from the first PUCCH resources. SRs are sent using the first PUCCH resources while the second PUCCH resources are suspended from use. The WTRU receives signaling from a network to suspend one or more of the first PUCCH resources, and unsuspend one or more of the second PUCCH resources. Thereafter, subsequent SRs are sent using only unsuspended PUCCH resources of the UL BWP and not the suspended PUCCH resources, in response to the received signaling from the network. Additional embodiment are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for the early diagnosis of carcinomas of the anogenital tract, preferably of the cervical carcinoma, and the preliminary stages thereof is described. The method is based on the determination of the methylation status of segments of the gene regions of ASTN1 (astrotactin 1) and ZNF671 (zinc finger protein 671, transcription factor). A DNA methylation in the promoter region or the 5?-region of these genes is indicative for carcinomas of the anogenital tract or severe preliminary stages thereof. The present invention also relates to kits which permit the conduction of the diagnostic method according to the invention.

Abstract: An access point operating in a wireless communication network includes a smart antenna for generating directional antenna beams. A method for operating the access point includes communicating with a client station using a selected directional antenna beam, with the client station initially being in a stationary position. Signal to noise ratios of signals received from the client station within a time interval are measured. At least one variation metric of a mean of the measured signal to noise ratios within the time interval is determined. This at least one determined variation metric is compared to a threshold for determining if the client station is moving.

Abstract: An access point operates in an 802.11 wireless communication network communicating with a client station, and includes a smart antenna for generating directional antenna beams and an omni-directional antenna beam. An antenna steering algorithm scans the directional antenna beams and the omni-directional antenna beam for receiving signals from the client station. The signals received via each scanned antenna beam are measured, and one of the antenna beams is selected based upon the measuring for communicating with the client station. The selected antenna beam is preferably a directional antenna beam. Once the directional antenna beam has been selected, there are several usage rules for exchanging data with the client station. The usage rules are directed to an active state of the access point, which includes a data transmission mode and a data reception mode.
