Methods and apparatus for dynamic load balancing during random access in ambient internet of things (aiot) systems

Abstract

A wireless transmit and receive unit (WTRU) may receive, from a network, first configuration information including a first resource identification (ID) and an indication of time and frequency resources to be used in ambient Internet of things (AIoT) access procedure. The WTRU may also receive first assistance information associated with the first resource ID. The WTRU may determine, based on the first configuration and first assistance information, first resource to be used to send a first AIoT message. The WTRU may send the first message and monitor the access occasions to determine if an overload occasion occurred. Upon overload detection, the WTRU may send, to the network, an overload indication. The WTRU may receive, from the network, second assistance information. The WTRU may determine, based on the first configuration and first and second assistance information, a second resource to be used to send a second AIoT message.
