Abstract: A control resource allocation method, an apparatus, an electronic device, and at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes identifying resource usage status information for the first period, and determining control resource set (CORESET) time-frequency resources and uplink/downlink (UL/DL) control channel element (CCE) patterns for the first period, based on the resource usage status information.

Abstract: A method for scheduling reception activity of a communication apparatus to receive wireless signals from a network device in a wireless network, comprising: collecting information regarding network and operation of the communication apparatus; determining a scenario of the communication apparatus according to the information regarding network and operation of the communication apparatus; determining one or more reception related parameters according to the scenario of the communication apparatus; and scheduling one or more reception activities in at least one Discontinuous Reception (DRX) off duration according to the one or more reception related parameters.

Abstract: A method to jointly perform beam management, synchronization, and L1 measurements using a single synchronization signal block (SSB) burst in NR systems is proposed to improve data rate and to reduce power consumption. In a scheduling based SSB method, a UE is scheduled to perform either beam management or synchronization and L1 measurements alternatively. In a joint SSB method, a UE performs beam management, synchronization, and L1 RSRP/SNR measurements within a single SSB burst simultaneously. The UE can dynamically switch between the two SSB methods based on predefined conditions. Further, multiple joint SSB modes are introduced for the joint SSB method, where either 3 OFDM symbols or 4 OFDM symbols of each SSB burst are used. UE can dynamically switch among the joint SSB modes depending on contamination level on the OFDM symbol carrying PSS.
