    摘要: A reduced capacity (redcap) device may perform initial uplink communications, including transmitting a redcap physical uplink control channel (R-PUCCH), over an initial uplink bandwidth part (BWP) shared with a second device, the initial uplink BWP having a bandwidth (BW) larger than a maximum BW supported by the redcap device and smaller than or equal to a maximum BW supported by the second device. Frequency hopping operation for the redcap device may be supported for the R-PUCCH transmission through frequency division multiplexing and/or time division multiplexing settings for the resources used for the R-PUCCH transmission, and for PUCCH transmission by the second device. Restrictions may be implemented to create a gap for redcap devices to perform RF retuning between a physical RACH transmission and a subsequent physical control channel (e.g. PDCCH) monitoring for random access reception when the frequency gap is larger than the maximum BW supported by the redcap device.

    摘要: Techniques for power savings by a wireless device. The technique including determining, by a first wireless device, a sidelink resources pool including a set of sidelink resources for communicating directly with a second wireless device; determining one or more reservation periods associated with resources of the sidelink resources pool; determining a number of sensing occasions based on the one or more reservation periods; sensing a wireless medium within the sidelink resources pool based on the determined number of sensing occasions and the determined one or more reservation periods; selecting a set of candidate resources from the sidelink resources pool based on the sensing; and transmitting data to the second wireless device based on the selected set of candidate resources.
