IN-CHANNEL NARROWBAND COMPANION AIR-INTERFACE ASSISTED WIDEBAND TRX FREQUENCY CORRECTION PROCEDURES

A method and WTRU to support an in-channel narrowband companion air interface (NB-CAI) assisted wideband (WB) frequency error correction procedure is disclosed. The method may comprise a WTRU sending, via the NB-CAI, a frequency convergence reference signal (FCRS) scheduling request to a network node and receiving, via the NB-CAI, a FCRS scheduling response from the network node. The method may comprise receiving, via a wideband air interface (WB-AI), periodic FCRSs from the network node based on the received FCRS scheduling response and sending, via the NB-CAI, a request to the network node to change a rate of FCRS transmissions. The FCRS scheduling request may comprise range information. The request to change a rate of FCRS transmissions may be based on a convergence indication. The request to change a rate of FCRS transmissions may comprise a configuration identification of a selected FCRS configuration from a set of FCRS configurations.
