Abstract
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) autonomously synchronizing. For example, a WTRU may be configured to receive a downlink timing synchronization. The WTRU may be configured to determine a synchronization signal. The WTRU may be configured to determine a synchronization mode. The synchronization mode may be RRC CONNECTED mode. The synchronization mode may be RRC IDLE mode. The WTRU may communicate data to the network while in an unsynchronized state in an RRC IDLE and/or an RRC CONNECTED mode. The communication of data while unsynchronized may reduce latency relative to one or more of a random access channel (RACH) procedure, a resource radio control (RRC) connection establishment procedure, or a data packet scheduling, for example.
