    摘要: Methods and devices for uplink-based User Equipment (UE) tracking for UEs operating in a connected inactive operating state are provided. A transmit-receive point (TRP) transmits parameters to a UE that allow the UE to uniquely determine a UE-specific tracking sequence and assigned time-frequency (TF) resource that are independent of a TRP identifier associated with the TRP. The UE determines the UE-specific tracking sequence and assigned TF resource based at least in part on the parameters received from the TRP. While in the connected inactive operating state, the UE transmits a tracking signal that includes the UE-specific tracking sequence in accordance with the assigned TF resource. The TRP receives the tracking signal from the UE, detects the UE in accordance with the UE-specific tracking sequence to produce a UE detection status, and transmits a tracking response to the UE in accordance with the UE detection status.

    摘要: Methods, apparatuses and systems are described. A device, in the active state, receives, from a serving transmission point, a device connection identifier (DCID) associated with the device. The device, in the standby state, periodically transmits, to the same or different serving transmission point, an identifying signal that identifies the first device using the DCID, to synchronize the first device with a wireless communications network.
