20210037574 | POWER SAVING OF SMART REPEATERS - Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support power saving of wireless repeaters. Generally, the described techniques provide for wireless device (e.g., wireless repeater, wireless relay device, etc.) power savings in the absence of an attached (e.g., connected) user equipment (UE). For example, a wireless repeater may operate in a power saving mode and monitor for control information from a base station according to a slow state (e.g., according to a relatively long monitoring periodicity). Upon detection of possible UE attachment to the base station (e.g., upon detection of a random access channel (RACH) message), the wireless repeater may transition to monitoring for control information from the base station according to a fast state (e.g., according to a relatively short, or more frequent, monitoring periodicity). | 2021-02-04 |
20210037575 | USER EQUIPMENT - A terminal is disclosed including a receiver that receives control information that is a trigger for initiating a random access procedure; a processor that selects an occasion for transmitting a random access preamble; and a transmitter that transmits the random access preamble using the occasion, wherein the receiver receives a response to the random access preamble using a resource for monitoring control information for receiving the response to the random access preamble, by assuming quasi co-location not related to quasi co-location that is associated with the resource for monitoring the control information. In other aspects, a response reception method and a base station are also disclosed. | 2021-02-04 |
20210037576 | COMMUNICATIONS METHOD AND APPARATUS - This application discloses a communications method and apparatus. The method includes: sending, by a terminal device, a first message to a network device, where the first message includes a first random access preamble and first data, and a first redundancy version is used for the first data; and determining, by the terminal device, that the first data fails to be sent, and retransmitting the first data, where a second redundancy version is used for the first data. The corresponding communications apparatus is further disclosed. An incremental redundancy manner is used in a retransmission procedure of random access data. | 2021-02-04 |
20210037577 | CONFIGURATION OF A FIRST MESSAGE FOR A TWO-STEP RANDOM ACCESS CHANNEL PROCEDURE - A user equipment (UE) may be configured to receive configuration information from a base station, and the configuration information may indicate at least two different random access channel (RACH) request configuration parameters that each is associated with a respective radio resource control (RRC) state. The UE may be further configured to generate a first message associated with a two-step RACH procedure including a preamble and a payload, the payload including data on an uplink data channel and at least one reference signal. The UE may be further configured to transmit the first message to the base station using at least one of the at least two different RACH request configuration parameters that corresponds to an RRC state of the UE. The preamble may be transmitted on a first set of resources associated with a RACH occasion, and the payload may be transmitted on a second set of resources. | 2021-02-04 |
