Abstract: A system, device and method are provided for adapting transmission characteristics to mitigate negative impact on the wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) when high-power, narrowband transmitters are propagating energy in narrow bands within the wider bands used by the WTRU to communicate in advanced communications networks. The system, device and method include detecting interference based on the presence of an interferer, determining the power spectral density (PSD) level from the interference, based on the PSD level exceeding a threshold, determining a synchronization signal burst (SSB) frequency location that mitigates the interference, and transmitting the determined SSB frequency location to at least one WTRU being served by the base station. After a preset period of time, in examples, the SSB frequency may be reverted back to an original SSB frequency.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for remote UE mobility management. Methods are proposed to consider the impact of coverage through PC5 interface when a remote UE is doing the cell (re)selection. A remote UE may select a serving cell considering the impact of coverage through PC5 interface when the remote UE and the Relay UE are in coverage of different cells. The remote UE may detect and reselect a cell via the Uu interface while it has selected a serving cell via a Relay UE. The remote UE may detect and reselect to a cell via a Relay UE while it has selected a serving cell via the Uu interface.

Abstract: Multicast/Broadcast Service (MBS) for user equipments (UE) in Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle/inactive modes via signally of MBS frequency ranges and/or switching between frequency ranges as required. Bandwidth Part (BWP) operation for MBS in RRC IDLE and RRC INACTIVE states may be implemented using a dedicated MBS BWP or by sharing a frequency range with other operations. An MBS frequency range may be wider or narrower than an initial BWP used by a UE, for example. MBS frequency range configure may be achieved in a number of ways, such as via Control Resource Set (CORESET), search space, and/or PDCCH monitoring occasions pattern settings for MBS in RRC idle/inactive. Downlink scheduling without dynamic grant for MBS in RRC idle/inactive may include configured scheduling and/or semi-persistent scheduling. Downlink repetition for MBS in RRC idle/inactive may include PDSCH repetition and/or PDCCH repetition.

Abstract: Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (NSSAI) may be signaled between User Equipment (UE) and a network. NSSAI sent from the network to the UE may include, for example, Operating Frequency Band (OFB) for each Single NSSAI (S-NSSAI) in the NSSAI, as well as a Radio Access Technology (RAT) Frequency Selection Priority (RFSP) index, which the network configures as a part of UE access and mobility subscription, during a UE registration procedure. RAT restrictions may be enhanced to indicate to the UE that certain slices are not accessible via certain RATs. A UE may be provided by the network with an alternative NSSAI and corresponding OFBs for each S-NSSAI, thereby indicating to the UE that these S-NSSAI would have been allowed had they been requested. A UE may be able to choose an alternative Allowed NSSAI and send a registration update request to the network.

Abstract: Blind coverage for wireless devices is enhanced varying one or more transmission characteristics of a repeated transmission sent or received by apparatuses, where the repeated transmission includes, for example a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) and/or a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmissions. Varied characteristics may include a start time for each repetition, a duration for each repetition, a start frequency for each repetition, a bandwidth of each repetition, a number of repetitions for each subframe, and/or a number of repetitions for each slot. Repetitions may be within a Bandwidth Part (BWP) or span multiple BWPs. Repetitions may vary from one to another in start time, start frequency, duration, bandwidth, and slot and subframe patterns. Higher level signalling, such as Radio Resource Control (RRC) signalling may be used to control the inclusion or omission of a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) in repeated transmissions.
