[0003] open field

[0004] Various aspects of this disclosure generally relate to wireless communication, and to techniques and apparatus for managing wake-up signals and bandwidth portions.

[0005] background

[0006] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is an enhancement set of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard issued by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0007] A wireless network may include several base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communication for several user equipments (UEs). UEs may communicate with the BS via downlinks and uplinks. A "downlink" (or "forward link") refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, while an "uplink" (or "backlink") refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a B-node, gNB, access point (AP), radio headend, transmit / receive point (TRP), new radio (NR) BS, 5G B-node, etc.

[0008] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol enabling different user equipment to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. NR (which can also be referred to as 5G) is an enhancement set of the LTE mobile standard issued by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with a Cyclic Prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL), and using CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Extended OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies and carrier aggregation to improve spectral efficiency, reduce costs, improve service, utilize new spectrum, and better integrate with other open standards. Further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow.

[0029] Detailed description

[0030] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to any specific structure or function given throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein may be used to implement an apparatus or method of practice. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatus or methods practiced using additional structures, functionalities, or structures and functionalities that complement or supplement the various aspects of this disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein may be implemented by one or more elements of the claims.

[0031] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be described with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and explained in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively, "elements"). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0032] It should be noted that although the aspects are described herein using terms commonly associated with 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT), the aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT, and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0033] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be a 5G (NR) network and / or an LTE network, etc., or may include elements thereof. The wireless network 100 may include several base stations 110 (shown as BS110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, B-node, gNB, 5G B-node (NB), access point, transmit / receive point (TRP), etc. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​a BS and / or the BS subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0034] A BS can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. Macrocells can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and allow unrestricted access by UEs with a service subscription. Picocells can cover a relatively small geographic area and allow unrestricted access by UEs with a service subscription. Femtocells can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residential area) and allow restricted access by UEs associated with that femtocell (e.g., UEs in a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG)). A BS used for macrocells may be referred to as a macro BS. A BS used for picocells may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS used for femtocells may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB,” “base station,” “NR BS,” “gNB,” “TRP,” “AP,” “B node,” “5G NB,” and “cell” are used interchangeably herein.

[0035] In some respects, the cell need not be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell can move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some respects, BSs can interconnect with each other and / or interconnect to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 via various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections or virtual networks, using any suitable transport network).

[0036] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity capable of receiving data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and transmitting those data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station can also be a UE capable of relaying transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, relay BS 110d can communicate with macro BS 110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS can also be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, relay, etc.

[0037] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of Base Stations (BSs) such as macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc. These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs may have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0038] Network controller 130 can be coupled to a set of Base Stations (BSs) and can provide coordination and control over these BSs. Network controller 130 can communicate with each BS via backhaul. These BSs can also communicate with each other directly or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul.

[0039] UE 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, subscriber unit, station, etc. UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), personal digital assistant (PDA), wireless modem, wireless communication device, handheld device, laptop computer, cordless phone, wireless local loop (WLL) station, tablet, camera, gaming device, netbook, smartbook, ultrabook, medical device or equipment, biometric sensor / device, wearable device (smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), entertainment device (e.g., music or video device, or satellite radio), vehicle component or sensor, smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, GPS device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0040] Some UEs may be considered Machine-Type Communication (MTC) UEs, or evolved or enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, instruments, monitors, and / or location tags that can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Wireless nodes may provide connectivity to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network, such as the Internet) or a cellular network, for example, via wired or wireless communication links. Some UEs may be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs may be considered Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included within a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as processor components and / or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0041] Generally, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can also be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can also be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0042] In some respects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols), and / or mesh networks. In this scenario, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by base station 110.

[0043] Devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, devices in the wireless network 100 can communicate using an operating band with a first frequency range (FR1) and / or an operating band with a second frequency range (FR2), where the first frequency range (FR1) spans from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz and the second frequency range (FR2) spans from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as intermediate frequency bands. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as the "sub-6 GHz" band. Similarly, although different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) designated as the "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), FR2 is often referred to as the "millimeter wave" band. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, it should be understood that, if used herein, the terms "sub-6 GHz" and the like can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or intermediate frequency band frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless otherwise stated, it should be understood that, if used herein, the terms "millimeter wave" and the like can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or intermediate frequency band frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is conceivable that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 can be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0044] As indicated above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 1 The example described.

[0045] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of communication between a base station 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a to 234t, and the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a to 252r, wherein generally T≥1 and R≥1.

[0046] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 can receive data destined for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQI) received from each UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for each UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., semi-static resource allocation information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper-layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 can also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, where applicable, and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can process its respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t can be transmitted via T antennas 234a to 234t, respectively.

[0047] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations and can provide the received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 254r respectively. Each demodulator 254 can condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each demodulator 254 can further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on these received symbols where applicable, and provide detected symbols. Receiver processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) these detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine parameters such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), and / or Channel Quality Indicator (CQI). In some respects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0048] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include one or more devices, such as those in the core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

[0049] Antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include or be included within one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element assemblies, and / or antenna arrays. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element assemblies, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element assemblies, and / or antenna arrays may include coplanar antenna element assemblies and / or non-coplanar antenna element assemblies. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element assemblies, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements within a single housing and / or multiple antenna elements within housings. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element assemblies, and / or antenna arrays may include elements coupled to one or more transmission and / or reception components (such as...). Figure 2 One or more antenna elements (one or more components).

[0050] On the uplink, at UE 120, transmit processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). Transmit processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from transmit processor 264 can be pre-encoded by TX MIMO processor 266, where applicable, further processed by modulators 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, modulators and demodulators (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 254) of UE 120 may be included in the modem of UE 120. In some aspects, UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antennas 252, modulators and / or demodulators 254, MIMO detectors 256, receiver processors 258, transmitter processors 264, and / or TX MIMO processors 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., as referenced). Figure 5-10 (As described).

[0051] At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs can be received by antenna 234, processed by demodulator 232, detected by MIMO detector 236 where applicable, and further processed by receiver processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receiver processor 238 can provide the decoded data to data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule UE 120 for downlink and / or uplink communications. In some aspects, the modulator and demodulator (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 232) of base station 110 may be included in the modem of base station 110. In some aspects, base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include (e.g.) antenna 234, modulator and / or demodulator 232, MIMO detector 236, receiver processor 238, transmitter processor 220, and / or any combination of TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., as referenced). Figure 5-10 (As described).

[0052] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component may perform one or more techniques associated with the management of the wake-up signal (WUS) and bandwidth portion (BWP), as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component that can execute or direct, for example Figure 9 The process 900 Figure 10 The operation of process 1000 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and 282 may store data and program code for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include: a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., direct execution, or execution after compilation, transformation, and / or interpretation), the one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 may cause the one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 to perform or direct, for example... Figure 9 The process 900 Figure 10 The operation of process 1000, and / or other processes described herein. In some aspects, the execution instructions may include run instructions, translate instructions, compile instructions, and / or interpret instructions, etc.

[0053] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: means for receiving from a base station a configuration of a minimum timeslot offset, the configuration being at least partially based on determining a minimum WUS gap capability associated with the UE, wherein the minimum WUS gap capability corresponds to the UE's ability to support WUS gaps with a minimum gap size, wherein the minimum timeslot offset indicates the minimum time interval between a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) timing and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) timing scheduled by the PDCCH; means for monitoring PDCCH timings at least partially based on the configuration to find downlink grants; and so on. In some aspects, such means may include combinations of Figure 2 One or more components of the described UE 120, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, etc.

[0054] In some aspects, base station 110 may include: means for transmitting to the UE a configuration of a minimum slot offset, the configuration being at least partially based on determining a minimum WUS gap capability associated with the UE, wherein the minimum WUS gap capability corresponds to the UE's ability to support WUS gaps with a minimum gap size, wherein the minimum slot offset indicates the minimum time interval between a PDCCH timing and a PDSCH timing scheduled by the PDCCH; means for transmitting to the UE data carried in the PDSCH timing based at least partially on the configuration; and so on. In some aspects, such means may include a combination of Figure 2 One or more components of the described base station 110, such as antenna 234, DEMOD 232, MIMO detector 236, receiver processor 238, controller / processor 240, transmitter processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, MOD 232, antenna 234, etc.

[0055] although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram are interpreted as different components, but the functions described above with respect to these boxes can be implemented by a single hardware component, software component, or combination of components. For example, the functions described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 can be performed by controller / processor 280 or under the control of controller / processor 280.

[0056] As indicated above, Figure 2 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 2 The example described.

[0057] Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating example 300 relating to Bandwidth Partial (BWP) management according to this disclosure. For example... Figure 3 As shown, Example 300 includes UE 120 communicating with BS 110 using one of a plurality of BWPs.

[0058] like Figure 3As further illustrated by reference numeral 305, in a first scenario, UE 120 may communicate with BS 110 using a first BWP (BWP1). In some aspects, the first BWP may be associated with a bandwidth less than a threshold bandwidth and with timing parameters greater than a threshold timing parameter. The timing parameter may include a minimum slot offset k0 and may identify the minimum size of the gap between a downlink control information (DCI) message carrying downlink permission and the corresponding PDSCH transmission. In some aspects, the first BWP may be used with a larger non-zero minimum slot offset (e.g., greater than a threshold). In some aspects, the first BWP may be associated with a reduced maximum number of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers. As shown by reference numeral 310, the first BWP may be associated with a specific monitoring periodicity of the downlink control channel (e.g., periodicity = 2). For example, the first BWP may be associated with monitoring DCI messages in alternating slots of the first BWP.

[0059] In some respects, UE 120 may use a first BWP when operating in DRX mode. For example, UE 120 may use a first BWP for relatively low amounts of data activity (e.g., less than a threshold amount) and when relatively high latency (e.g., greater than a threshold latency) is acceptable. In some respects, UE 120 may select a default bandwidth portion of the secondary cell and / or primary cell, a BWP active during a previous DRX cycle (e.g., the most recently active BWP), a configured BWP (e.g., the bandwidth portion for signaling to the primary cell, secondary cell, etc.), a BWP active at the beginning of the activation duration, etc., as the first BWP for operation after DRX mode (e.g., sleep mode).

[0060] like Figure 3As further illustrated by reference numeral 315, in the second scenario, UE 120 can communicate with BS 110 using a second BWP (BWP2). In some aspects, the second BWP may be associated with a bandwidth not less than a threshold bandwidth (e.g., greater than or equal to the threshold bandwidth) and a timing parameter not greater than a threshold timing parameter (e.g., less than or equal to the threshold timing parameter). In some aspects, the second BWP may be associated with a smaller minimum time slot offset (e.g., k0 = 1, k0 = 0, etc.). In some aspects, the second BWP may be associated with the full maximum number of MIMO layers. As shown by reference numeral 320, the second BWP may be associated with another monitoring periodicity of the downlink control channel (e.g., periodicity = 1). For example, the second BWP may be associated with monitoring DCI messages in each time slot of the second BWP. In this case, UE 120 can implement micro-sleep operation to reduce power consumption relative to other techniques used for monitoring DCI messages. For example, UE 120 can implement micro-sleep operation when the value of k0 is set to 1.

[0061] In some respects, UE 120 may use a second BWP for relatively high amounts of data activity (e.g., not less than a threshold amount). Additionally or alternatively, UE 120 may use a second BWP for relatively low latency levels (e.g., when latency not exceeding a threshold latency amount is acceptable).

[0062] In some aspects, the periodicity of multiple BWPs can be configured. For example, UE 120 may (e.g., from BS 110) receive information associated with the monitoring periodicity configured for a first BWP, a second BWP, etc. In this case, the monitoring periodicity may be determined at least in part based on data traffic patterns, bandwidth, user equipment capabilities (e.g., energy resource availability), etc. In some aspects, the monitoring periodicity may be selected at least in part based on the processing capabilities of UE 120. For example, a monitoring periodicity greater than a threshold may be selected so that the threshold time amount is available for downlink channel processing. Additionally or alternatively, UE 120 may receive information associated with configured timing parameters based at least in part on data traffic patterns, network characteristics, user equipment capabilities, etc.

[0063] As indicated above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 3 The example described.

[0064] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating Example 400 related to wake-up signaling according to this disclosure. For example... Figure 4 As shown, Example 400 includes UE 120 communicating with BS 110.

[0065] like Figure 4 As further illustrated by reference numeral 405, in a first scenario, downlink permission may be provided to UE 120. For example, BS 110 may determine that downlink permission will be provided to UE 120 during a first DRX cycle period, enabling UE 120 to receive queued data from BS 110 during that DRX cycle period. As shown by reference numeral 410, UE 120 may detect the WUS during a Wake-up Signal (WUS) event. In some aspects, the WUS may be transmitted by base station 110 to wake up UE 120, thereby enabling UE 120 to receive data transmission. In some aspects, the WUS may include dedicated PDCCH communication transmitted by base station 110 prior to the DRX (e.g., Connected Mode DRX (C-DRX)) activation duration to indicate whether UE 120 should monitor the next DRX activation duration.

[0066] In some respects, WUS can be associated with a two-stage wake-up procedure. In the first stage, UE 120 can wake up to Level 1 for PDCCH-WUS detection. If WUS is detected and a "wake-up" is indicated, UE 120 can wake up to Level 2 for scheduling monitoring and data reception. Level 1 and Level 2 can correspond to power modes. For example, in some respects, Level 1 can be a low-power mode, while Level 2 can be a high-power mode (a higher power mode than the low-power mode). In some respects, during the first stage (low-power mode), a minimal set of hardware can be instantiated for PDCCH processing only, the operating point of the hardware in terms of voltage level and clock frequency can be optimized, a more relaxed PDCCH processing timeline can be implemented, the receive bandwidth can be reduced, the number of candidate and / or aggregation levels of PDCCH can be reduced, and so on.

[0067] As shown in the figure, UE 120 may need a certain amount of time to ramp up from the first-level power consumption used for PDCCH-WUS detection to the second-level power consumption used for scheduling monitoring and data reception. As indicated by reference numeral 415, the WUS gap can be configured as the amount of time between the WUS timing and the on-time associated with the DRX cycle. In some aspects, the WUS timing can be only a few symbol lengths. In other aspects, UE 120 can ramp up based on a warm-up time. The WUS gap can be associated with a minimum warm-up threshold corresponding to UE 120.

[0068] In some respects, the inactivity timer associated with the DRX sleep mode may be triggered at least in part based on the failure to decode any permission from the PDCCH reception. As indicated by reference numeral 420, the UE 120 may switch to the DRX sleep mode at least in part based on the expiration of the inactivity timer.

[0069] As indicated by reference numeral 425, in the second scenario, UE 120 may not detect WUS. For example, base station 110 may determine that it will not provide downlink permission to UE 120 during the second DRX cycle period (e.g., at least in part based on base station 110 not queuing data to be transmitted to UE 120), and may not provide WUS for waking up UE 120. As shown, UE 120 may monitor the downlink channel to receive WUS, and may not receive WUS, or may decode WUS as "not wake up". In this case, UE 120 may not switch from the first BWP to the second BWP at least in part based on the WUS indication of "not wake up" (or lack of WUS), and may switch from low power mode to sleep mode after the WUS interval is completed.

[0070] As indicated above, Figure 4 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 4 The example described.

[0071] Both BWP management (adaptive) and WUS can contribute to power savings. BWP management primarily achieves power savings by reducing bandwidth, cross-slot scheduling, and reducing the maximum number of MIMO layers (resulting in a reduced number of active receive chains). WUS technology achieves power savings by minimizing the time and complexity of the signal to be decoded to check whether the UE should expect data scheduling during an upcoming DRX cycle. However, WUS technology does not control how bandwidth is managed. As a result, the UE may not have sufficient warm-up or transition time to switch from one BWP to another before the expected downlink transmission arrives. In some cases, the UE may have more than enough warm-up time, leading to increased latency.

[0072] The technologies and apparatus described herein contribute to managing bandwidth reduction using BWP management in conjunction with WUS management. This optimizes power savings and reduces latency. In some aspects, the base station can configure the minimum slot offset based at least in part on determining the minimum WUS gap capability associated with the UE. The UE can then monitor PDCCH timing to seek downlink permission based at least in part on this configuration. This allows for joint management of the minimum slot offset and WUS gap size, ensuring the UE has sufficient warm-up time to wake up and / or switch BWPs without providing excessive time. Consequently, sufficient bandwidth and warm-up time are provided without introducing unnecessary latency. In other aspects, the UE can leverage bandwidth reduction in conjunction with WUS management to manage bandwidth. This contributes to power savings without increasing signaling overhead.

[0073] Figure 5This is a diagram illustrating example 500 of the management of WUS and BWP according to this disclosure. (See diagram for example.) Figure 5 As shown, base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate with each other.

[0074] As shown by reference numeral 505, UE 120 can transmit and base station 110 can receive the minimum WUS gap capability associated with the UE. In some aspects, the minimum WUS gap capability corresponds to the UE's ability to support WUS gaps with a minimum gap size. In some aspects, UE 120 can suppress reporting the minimum WUS gap capability to base station 110. In these aspects, base station 110 can determine that the minimum WUS gap capability associated with the UE is equal to zero. In some aspects, UE 120 can suppress reporting the minimum WUS gap capability at least in part based on determining that the UE capability signaling does not support reporting a minimum WUS gap capability of less than one time slot.

[0075] As indicated by reference numeral 510, base station 110 can transmit and UE 120 can receive configuration. In some aspects, the configuration may include a configuration for a minimum timeslot offset. The minimum timeslot offset may indicate the minimum time interval between a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) timing and a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) timing scheduled by the PDCCH. In some aspects, the configuration for the minimum timeslot offset may be based at least in part on determining the minimum WUS gap capability associated with the UE. In some aspects, the minimum timeslot offset may be greater than zero. In some aspects, the configuration for the minimum timeslot offset may further be based at least in part on a Short Cycle Connectivity Mode Discontinuous Receive (C-DRX) configuration associated with the UE.

[0076] In some aspects, the configuration may include a configuration of WUS. The configuration of WUS may be based at least in part on the WUS gap size. In some aspects, the WUS gap size may be based at least in part on the minimum slot offset and determining the minimum WUS gap capacity. In some aspects, the configuration of WUS may indicate the WUS timing for scheduling WUS. In some aspects, the WUS gap size may meet a warm-up threshold. In some aspects, the WUS gap size may be greater than or equal to the minimum WUS gap capacity.

[0077] In some aspects, the minimum time slot offset may meet a warm-up threshold, and the WUS gap size may include zero time slots or one time slot. In some aspects, the minimum time slot offset may be at least partially based on the BWP handover delay. In some aspects, the minimum time slot offset may correspond to a first BWP. The first BWP may include a default BWP. In some aspects, the configuration may further include an additional time slot offset configuration corresponding to a second BWP.

[0078] In some aspects, this configuration may include a BWP adaptive configuration. The BWP adaptive configuration may indicate a second BWP associated with the PDSCH timing. In some aspects, the second BWP may include a bandwidth greater than that of the first BWP. In some aspects, this configuration may include a BWP configuration associated with a BWP adaptive procedure. In some aspects, the BWP configuration may indicate a first BWP, a second BWP, a default BWP, a BWP handover delay, etc.

[0079] As indicated by reference numeral 515, base station 110 can transmit and UE 120 can receive WUS. In some aspects, UE 120 may monitor WUS timing at least in part based on a reduced bandwidth associated with a configured BWP. The BWP may have a BWP bandwidth, and the reduced bandwidth may include a bandwidth narrower than the BWP bandwidth. In some aspects, UE 120 may use the reduced bandwidth to monitor WUS timing at least in part based on the minimum timeslot offset satisfying a retuning threshold.

[0080] As indicated by reference numeral 520, UE 120 may monitor PDCCH timing to seek downlink permission, at least in part based on this configuration and at least in part based on the detection of WUS. In some aspects, UE 120 may monitor BWP bandwidth. In some aspects, BWP may include a first control resource set (CORESET), and the reduced bandwidth may include a second CORESET with fewer resources than the first CORESET. In some aspects, base station 110 may transmit and UE 120 may receive data transmissions. In some aspects, this data transmission may be carried on the BWP bandwidth. In some aspects, base station 110 may transmit and UE 120 may receive a tracking reference signal (TRS). In some aspects, the TRS may be received at the beginning of an active period of a DRX cycle or within a specified amount of time after the beginning of an active period of a DRX cycle.

[0081] As indicated above, Figure 5 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 5 The example described.

[0082] Figure 6 This is a diagram illustrating Example 600 related to the management of WUS and BWP according to this disclosure. (See diagram for example.) Figure 6 As shown, Example 600 includes UE 120 communicating with BS 110 using a set of two or more BWPs. In some aspects, the set of BWPs may include a first BWP (BWP1) having a first bandwidth (BW) and a second BWP (BWP2) having a second bandwidth greater than the first bandwidth.

[0083] In some respects, the minimum time slot offset configured for these two or more BWPs can be different. For example, the minimum time slot offset can be configured at least semi-statically. In some respects, BWP1 may have a minimum k0 configured as 1 (time slot) (e.g., cross-time slot scheduling); BWP2 may have a minimum k0 configured as 0 (time slot) (e.g., simultaneous time slot scheduling); and so on. In this way, the network can achieve reduced power utilization by allowing different levels of cross-time slot scheduling, which can achieve power utilization savings relative to other technologies by allowing more time for processing and allowing modems to operate at lower voltages and lower clock frequencies.

[0084] In some aspects, UE 120 may switch between BWPs at least in part based on the size of the data to be transmitted. For example, as shown by reference numeral 605, UE 120 may monitor WUS on BWP1 in low-power mode. In some aspects, WUS may be configured such that it is transmitted while UE 120 is monitoring BWP1 (which may be the default BWP). Upon detection of WUS, UE 120 may monitor control channel (CCH) transmission on BWP1. In some aspects, BWP handover may not be triggered in WUS. In some aspects, when UE 120 is instructed to wake up via WUS, UE 120 will be in the default BWP (e.g., in...) Figure 6 The DRX activation process begins in BWP1.

[0085] As shown by reference numeral 610, UE 120 may receive a CCH corresponding to the beginning of the DRX activation duration. As shown by reference numeral 615, UE 120 may receive another CCH, which schedules data transmission via a shared channel (SCH) (e.g., PDSCH). CCH transmission may include, for example, DCI. As shown, data may be scheduled using a slot offset k0 = 3. Scheduling the CCH may trigger UE 120 to switch to BWP2 during a warm-up period (denoted as "BWP handover time"), thereby enabling UE 120 to receive data. In some aspects, the warm-up period may include a WUS gap. In some aspects, the WUS gap may be part of a power-saving offset (denoted as "ps_offset").

[0086] As shown by reference numeral 620, the expiration of a BWP timer (e.g., an inactive timer) can trigger a BWP handover, causing UE 120 to switch back to BWP1 during the second BWP handover period. As shown by reference numeral 625, when BWP1 is active, a small amount of data (e.g., the amount of data that meets a bandwidth threshold) scheduled to be transmitted via BWP1 can be received via CCH transmission. As shown, the data can be scheduled using a time slot offset k0 = 1. As further shown by reference numeral 630, at the beginning of the active period of the DRX cycle (“on duration”) or within a specified amount of time after the beginning of the active period of the DRX cycle, base station 110 can transmit and UE 120 can receive a tracking reference signal (TRS). In this way, since UE 120 will already be active and expect data, it can receive the TRS in a power-efficient manner.

[0087] In some respects, the base station can implement a similar BWP configuration for receiving uplink transmissions from UE 120. This may include receiving a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) from UE 120 at the beginning of an active period of a DRX cycle or within a specified amount of time after the beginning of an active period of a DRX cycle.

[0088] As indicated above, Figure 6 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 6 The example described.

[0089] Figure 7 This is a diagram illustrating Example 700 related to the management of WUS and BWP according to this disclosure. (See diagram for example.) Figure 7 As shown, Example 700 includes UE 120 communicating with base station 110 using a set of two or more BWPs. In some aspects, the set of BWPs may include a first BWP (BWP1) having a first bandwidth (BW) and a second BWP (BWP2) having a second bandwidth greater than the first bandwidth.

[0090] Figure 7 All aspects can be with Figure 6 The corresponding aspects shown are the same or similar, but in Figure 7 In this configuration, a WUS gap of zero or one time slot (corresponding to the PS offset) is set between the WUS timing and the start of the active (“on”) duration of the DRX cycle. In some aspects, WUS is received in low-power mode (via BWP1). As shown, UE 120 can also receive scheduled CCH transmissions in low-power mode.

[0091] In some respects, the minimum time slot offset configured for these two or more BWPs can be different. For example, the minimum time slot offset can be configured at least semi-statically. In this case, BWP1 may have a minimum k0 configured as 3 (time slots) (e.g., cross-time slot scheduling); BWP2 may have a minimum k0 configured as 0 (time slots) (e.g., simultaneous time slot scheduling); and so on. In some respects, BWP1 may be configured with a larger minimum time slot offset (e.g., k0 = 3 time slots) to ensure that UE 120 has sufficient warm-up time to switch to BWP2 before receiving the scheduled SCH transmission. In some respects, such as Figure 7 As shown, the minimum slot offset can be at least partially based on the BWP handover delay (e.g., 3 milliseconds for a 15 kHz subcarrier spacing parameter design).

[0092] As indicated above, Figure 7 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 7 The example described.

[0093] Figure 8 This is a diagram illustrating example 800 related to the management of WUS and BWP according to this disclosure. (See diagram 800 for example.) Figure 8 As shown, Example 800 includes UE 120 communicating with base station 110 using a set of two or more BWPs. In some aspects, the set of BWPs may include a first BWP (BWP1) having a first bandwidth (BW) and a second BWP (BWP2) having a second bandwidth greater than the first bandwidth.

[0094] Figure 8 All aspects can be with Figure 6 and Figure 7 The corresponding aspects shown are the same or similar, but in Figure 8 In this context, UE 120 may monitor WUS timing at least in part based on a reduced bandwidth (referred to as "reduced Rx") associated with BWP1. In some aspects, the reduced bandwidth may include a bandwidth narrower than that of BWP1. In some aspects, UE 120 may perform bandwidth reduction when BWP adaptation is not enabled, when BWP adaptation is enabled but BWP1 is configured to have the same bandwidth as BWP2, etc.

[0095] For example, in some aspects, BWP1 may include a first coreset, and the reduced bandwidth may include a second coreset with fewer resources than the first coreset. In some aspects, BWP handover may be used for rapid adaptation of coreset configuration parameters. In some aspects, UE 120 may use a narrow coreset to monitor WUS timing, thereby keeping the bandwidth as small as possible. When UE 120 detects WUS and is preparing to wake up for an active duration of DRX cycles, UE 120 may fully open the bandwidth, thereby effectively switching to the full bandwidth of BWP 1. The WUS gap may be used as a warm-up time. In some aspects, UE 120 may use reduced bandwidth to monitor WUS timing, at least in part, based on the minimum slot offset satisfying a retuning threshold. In some aspects, for example, the retuning threshold may include a slot.

[0096] As indicated above, Figure 8 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 8 The example described.

[0097] Figure 9 This is a diagram illustrating an example process 900 performed by a UE according to this disclosure. Example process 900 is an example in which a UE (e.g., UE 120, etc.) performs operations associated with the management of WUS and BWP.

[0098] like Figure 9 As shown, in some aspects, process 900 may include: receiving from a base station a configuration for a minimum timeslot offset, the configuration being at least partially based on determining a minimum WUS gap capability associated with the UE, wherein the minimum WUS gap capability corresponds to the UE's ability to support WUS gaps with a minimum gap size, and wherein the minimum timeslot offset indicates the minimum time interval between a PDCCH timing and a PDSCH timing scheduled by the PDCCH (block 910). For example, the UE (e.g., using receive processor 258, controller / processor 280, memory 282, etc.) may receive the configuration for the minimum timeslot offset from the base station, the configuration being at least partially based on determining a minimum WUS gap capability associated with the UE, as described above. In some aspects, the minimum WUS gap capability corresponds to the UE's ability to support WUS gaps with a minimum gap size. In some aspects, the minimum timeslot offset indicates the minimum time interval between a PDCCH timing and a PDSCH timing scheduled by the PDCCH.

[0099] like Figure 9As further shown, in some aspects, process 900 may include monitoring PDCCH timing for downlink permission based at least in part on this configuration (block 920). For example, the UE (e.g., using receive processor 258, controller / processor 280, memory 282, etc.) may monitor PDCCH timing based at least in part on this configuration, as described above.

[0100] Process 900 may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and / or in conjunction with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.

[0109] In the ninth aspect, alone or in combination with the eighth aspect, process 900 includes receiving an additional time slot offset configuration corresponding to the second BWP.

[0110] In the tenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the eighth to ninth aspects, process 900 includes receiving a BWP adaptive configuration that indicates a second BWP associated with the PDSCH timing.

[0111] In the eleventh aspect, alone or in combination with the tenth aspect, the second BWP includes a bandwidth greater than that of the first BWP.

[0112] In the twelfth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to eleventh aspects, process 900 includes receiving a BWP configuration associated with a BWP adaptation procedure, wherein the BWP configuration indicates at least one of a first BWP, a second BWP, a default BWP, a BWP handover delay, or a combination thereof.

[0113] In the thirteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to twelfth aspects, process 900 includes reporting to the base station the minimum WUS gap capability associated with the UE.

[0114] In the fourteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to thirteenth aspects, process 900 includes suppressing the reporting of minimum WUS gap capability to the base station, wherein at least in part based on the UE suppressing the reporting of minimum WUS gap capability, it is determined that the minimum WUS gap capability associated with the UE results in the determined minimum WUS gap capability being equal to zero.

[0115] In the fifteenth aspect, either alone or in combination with the fourteenth aspect, suppressing the ability to report a minimum WUS gap includes: suppressing the ability to report a minimum WUS gap at least in part based on determining that the UE capability signaling does not support the ability to report a minimum WUS gap of less than one slot.

[0116] In the sixteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to fifteenth aspects, process 900 includes receiving a TRS, wherein the TRS is received at the beginning of an active period of a discontinuous reception cycle or within a specified amount of time after the beginning of an active period of a discontinuous reception cycle.

[0117] In the seventeenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to sixteenth aspects, process 900 includes monitoring WUS timing at least in part based on a reduced bandwidth associated with a configured BWP, the BWP including BWP bandwidth, wherein the reduced bandwidth includes a bandwidth narrower than the BWP bandwidth.

[0118] In the eighteenth aspect, alone or in combination with the seventeenth aspect, the BWP includes a first core set, and the reduced bandwidth includes a second core set, which includes fewer resources than the first core set.

[0119] In the nineteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the seventeenth to eighteenth aspects, process 900 includes detecting a WUS associated with the timing of the WUS, and monitoring the BWP bandwidth at least in part based on the detection of the WUS.
