A wireless terminal communicates across a radio interface with a radio access network. The wireless terminal comprises receiver circuitry and processor circuitry. The receiver circuitry is configured to receive from the radio access network (1) slot format information comprising transmission direction configuration for each symbol in a slot for an uplink (UL) subband; and (2) validation information. The processor circuitry is configured to use the validation information to perform validation or invalidation of the transmission direction configuration for at least a portion of the UL subband.

Communications network and methods with enhanced duplex

A wireless terminal which communicates with a radio access network comprises processor circuitry configured to make a selection between different formulae for determining an allocation type for an uplink transmission on an uplink channel. The allocation type is a parameter utilized by the processor to determine a parameter for a configured maximum transmission power for a carrier for the uplink channel upon which the uplink transmission is transmitted. A type of the allocation type is determined depending on location of an allocated resource block for the uplink channel relative to channel bandwidth. The wireless terminal may also comprise transmitter circuitry configured to transmit the uplink transmission over the radio interface using transmission power determined by the configured maximum transmission power parameter.

User equipments, base stations and methods for multicarrier operation

A wireless terminal comprises receiver circuitry, processor circuitry, and transmitter circuitry. The receiver circuitry is configured to receive radio transmissions in one or more subbands in a serving cell. The processor circuitry is configured to generate wireless terminal selective receptivity information. The wireless terminal selective receptivity information indicates whether the wireless terminal has a capability to configure the receiver circuitry for controlling in which of the subbands the receiver circuitry receives transmissions. The transmitter circuitry is configured to transmit the wireless terminal selective receptivity information to the serving cell.

Communications network and methods with signaling of selective receptivity

A network controlled repeater (NCR) is described. The NCR includes receiving circuitry configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) configuration from a gNodeB (gNB) on a configured grant (CG), including resource allocation with beam indication, an uplink (UL) forwarding delay information and an NCR configured scheduling-radio network temporary identifier (CS-RNTI).

Network controlled repeater (NCR) procedures to support type 2 configured grants

A wireless terminal comprises receiver circuitry and processor circuitry. The receiver circuitry is configured to receive, over a radio interface, a serving cell frequency resource including a first subset of frequency resources. The processor circuitry is configured to determine, from the serving cell frequency resource, scheduling information for a physical channel; and then to use the scheduling information to either (a) filter reception power outside of the first subset of frequency resources, or (b) filter reception power outside of the serving cell frequency resource.

User equipments and methods for determining time-frequency resource set for enhanced duplex operation

A network controlled repeater (NCR) is described. The NCR includes receiving circuitry configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) configuration from a gNodeB (gNB) on a control link for a configured grant (CG), including resource allocation with beam indication, and uplink (UL) forwarding delay information.
