A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive configuration information that indicates associated random access channel occasions (ROs). for example, a first RO and a second RO. The WTRU may determine a feature combination associated with the WTRU. The WTRU may determine a set of preambles based on the feature combination associated with the WTRU. The set of preambles may include multiple subsets of preambles, for example, a first subset of preambles associated with the first RO of the associated ROs and a second subset of preambles associated with the second RO of the associated ROs. The WTRU may transmit a first preamble of the first subset of preambles on the first RO of the plurality of associated ROs and a second preamble of the second subset of preambles on the second RO of the plurality of associated ROs.

Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products related to a Wireless Transmit-Receive Unit (WTRU) operating in a network, for supporting paging using an Ultra-Low Power (ULP) receiver, are disclosed. A WTRU may receive a ULP-specific configuration, and may activate the ULP receiver, and inactivate the Uu receiver, when support of ULP paging operation, by the network, is determined. The ULP receiver may detect a Low-Power Wake-Up Signal (LP-WUS) and may activate the Uu receiver and perform PDCCH monitoring. Under condition that the WTRU detects, in the channel monitoring, its identifier in a paging message received via the Uu receiver, the WTRU initiates a connection establishment or a connection resume procedure.

The disclosure generally pertains to methods and apparatus for on-demand low-power sidelink channel reservation acquisition in wireless communication systems. A WTRU may determine to request on-demand reports related to sidelink resource usage. A WTRU that receives the report may generate a report based on its knowledge of sidelink resource usage. The responding WTRU may determine a priority associated with the report based on the relative amount of information it has regarding the sidelink resource usage. A response window for the response may be determined based on the priority. The responding WTRU then transmits the report in the corresponding response window. If a collision is detected for the report transmission, the response window may be extended and the report may be retransmitted in the extended response window.

The disclosure pertains to methods and apparatus using V2X enhancements to perform discontinuous reception. In an embodiment, a method implemented by a first WTRU, for a device-to-device (D2D) communication between the first WTRU and a second WTRU, the method may include any of comprising receiving, from the second WTRU, D2D control information comprising: (1) first information indicating one or more first transmission resources reserved for transmission of the D2D communication and (2) second information indicating if at least one second transmission resource is reserved for retransmission of the D2D communication; determining a sleeping period for the first WTRU that ends prior to a reception time of the retransmission of the D2D communication, wherein the sleeping period is based on the second information; and receiving the retransmission of the D2D communication, after an end of the determined sleeping period.

A method performed by a relay wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) includes receiving an indication of a change in state of a remote WTRU having a paging link with the relay WTRU, receiving a paging message from a network. The paging message includes a system information (SI) change indication, wherein the SI change indication indicates an availability of updated SI information from the network for the remote WTRU. The relay WTRU transmits the updated SI information to the remote WTRU based on the received indication of a change in state of the remote WTRU.

The disclosure pertains to methods and apparatus for minimization of service interruption in wireless networks, such as 5G networks. According to an embodiment, a method, implemented in a wireless transmit/receive unit, WTRU, comprises: transmitting, to a second network, first information indicating a request to register with the second network, wherein the first information comprises information indicating an identity of a first network to which the WTRU is currently registered; receiving, from the second network, second information indicating an acceptance of registration to the second network, wherein the second information comprises information indicating a maximum amount of PDU sessions, wherein the maximum amount corresponds to a limit of allowable PDU sessions; and transmitting, to the second network, third information indicating a request to establish a second amount of PDU sessions no more than the limit of allowable PDU sessions.

A method performed by a network node for storing a context for at least one unmanned aerial system includes receiving a notification including information indicative of an identifier of an unmanned aerial system and of a change of serving anchor node for the unmanned aerial system corresponding to the identifier from a first anchor node to a second anchor node. The stored context is updated for the unmanned aerial system where the stored context includes a serving anchor node for the unmanned aerial system to indicate the second anchor node as the serving anchor node.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein that may be used for transmission of one or more DCI, CSI-RS and/or CSI reports. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a DCI that includes information indicating two channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources and four CSI reporting resources. Each CSI-RS resource may be associated with two CSI reporting resources. The WTRU may monitor a first CSI-RS resource for a CSI-RS. If the WTRU does not identify the CSI-RS in the first CSI-RS resource, the WTRU may monitor a second CSI-RS resource for the CSI-RS. The WTRU may receive the CSI-RS on the first CSI-RS resource or the second CSI-RS resource. The WTRU may determine availabilities of the first and/or the second CSI reporting resource associated with the CSI-RS resource on which the WTRU received the CSI-RS. The WTRU may transmit a CSI report on an available CSI reporting resource.

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may receive a downlink transmission and send a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission in each resource block (RB) of an interlace of a plurality of RBs in an active bandwidth part (BWP). A base sequence is mapped to the PUCCH transmission repetitively, once to each RB of the plurality of RBs of the interlace, using a different cyclic shift of the base sequence for each RB. Each different cyclic shift of the base sequence in the PUCCH transmission to each RB is a function of a RB index of the respective RB. The PUCCH transmission indicates either an acknowledgement (ACK) or a negative ACK (NACK) of the received downlink transmission.

Method, apparatus, and systems for determining and transmitting positioning information in a wireless communication network are provided. For example, a method for wireless communications comprises receiving configuration information related to a set of positioning configurations and a small data transmission (SDT), determining, based on the configuration information, that at least one positioning configuration of the set of positioning configurations satisfies a positioning requirement and is associated with a payload size being less than a data volume threshold (DVT) associated with the SDT, selecting, from the at least one positioning configuration, positioning configuration associated with a payload size being closest to the DVT, performing a positioning measurement based on the selected positioning configuration, and sending, using an uplink resource for the SDT, a measurement report based on the selected positioning configuration and the positioning measurement.
