[0002] This patent application claims priority to Indian Patent Application No. 202041038000, filed on September 3, 2020, entitled “TECHNIQUES FOR OPPORTUNISTIC CONFIGURATION ADJUSTMENT,” which has been assigned to the assignee of this application. The disclosure of the earlier application is considered part of this patent application and is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure generally relates to wireless communications and to techniques and apparatus for opportunistic configuration adjustments. Background Technology

[0004] 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, transmission power, etc.). 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 a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard issued by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless network may include one or more base stations supporting communication for one or more user equipment (UEs). UEs may communicate with base stations via downlink and uplink communication. "Downlink" (or "DL") refers to the communication link from the base station to the UE, while "uplink" (or "UL") refers to the communication link from the UE to the base station.

[0006] The aforementioned multiple access technologies have been adopted by various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol enabling different UEs to communicate at the city, country, region, and / or global levels. New Radio (NR), often referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard issued by 3GPP. NR aims to better support mobile broadband internet access by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving service, utilizing new spectrum, and using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) on the downlink and CP-OFDM and / or Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Extended OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies and carrier aggregation. Further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any particular structure or function presented 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. Those skilled in the art will understand 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 practice. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatus or methods that are practiced using structures, functions, or structures and functions other than or different from the aspects of this disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0034] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be presented with reference to various devices and technologies. These devices and technologies will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether these elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the system as a whole.

[0035] While the terms commonly associated with 5G or New Radio (NR) Radio Access Technology (RAT) may be used to describe aspects herein, aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0036] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, etc. The wireless network 100 may include one or more base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d), user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as UE 120a, UE 120b, UE 120c, UE 120d, and UE 120e), and / or other network entities. Base station 110 is the entity that communicates with UE 120. Base station 110 (sometimes referred to as BS) may include, for example, an NR base station, an LTE base station, a Node B, an eNB (e.g., in 4G), a gNB (e.g., in 5G), an access point, and / or a Transmitter Point (TRP). Each base station 110 may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term "cell" can refer to the coverage area of ​​base station 110 and / or the base station subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0037] Base station 110 can provide communication coverage for macro cells, pico cells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macro cell can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and can allow unrestricted access for UE 120 with a service subscription. A pico cell can cover a relatively small geographic area and can allow unrestricted access for UE 120 with a service subscription. A femtocell can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and can allow restricted access for UE 120 associated with the femtocell (e.g., UE 120 in a Closed Subscriber Group (CSG)). Base station 110 for macro cells can be referred to as a macro base station. Base station 110 for pico cells can be referred to as a pico base station. Base station 110 for femtocells can be referred to as a femtocell or a home base station. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110a can be a macro base station of macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico base station of pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto base station of femto cell 102c. A base station can support one or more (e.g., three) cells.

[0038] In some examples, the cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile base station 110 (e.g., a mobile base station). In some examples, base station 110 may use any suitable transport network to interconnect with each other and / or connect to one or more other base stations 110 or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 via various types of backhaul interfaces such as direct physical connections or virtual networks.

[0039] Wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., base station 110 or UE 120) and transmit data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., UE 120 or base station 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that can relay transmissions for other UE 120s. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110d (e.g., a relay base station) can communicate with BS 110a (e.g., a macro base station) and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. The base station 110 for relay communication can be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, relay, etc.

[0040] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network, which includes different types of base stations 110, such as macro base stations, pico base stations, femto base stations, relay base stations, etc. These different types of base stations 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and / or different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro base stations may have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico base stations, femto base stations, and relay base stations may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0041] Network controller 130 may be coupled to or communicate with a set of base stations 110, and may provide coordination and control for these base stations 110. Network controller 130 may communicate with base stations 110 via backhaul communication links. Base stations 110 may communicate with each other directly or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul communication links.

[0042] UE 120 may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be fixed or mobile. UE 120 may include, for example, access terminals, terminals, mobile stations, and / or subscriber units. UE 120 may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet computer, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and / or a satellite radio), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a GPS device, and / or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0043] Some UEs 120 may be considered Machine-Type Communication (MTC) or Evolved or Enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC UEs and / or eMTC UEs may include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and / or location tags, which can communicate with a base station, another communication device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered client devices. UE 120 may be included within a housing that houses the components of UE 120, such as processor components and / or memory components. In some examples, 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.

[0044] Typically, any number of wireless networks 100 can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network 100 can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can be referred to as a carrier, 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 may be deployed.

[0045] In some examples, 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 communicating with each other). For example, UEs 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), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocols) and / or mesh networks. In such examples, UEs 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by base station 110.

[0046] Devices in Wireless Network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., by frequency or wavelength. For example, devices in Wireless Network 100 can communicate using one or more operating frequency bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating frequency bands have been identified as frequency range names FR1 (410MHz–7.125GHz) and FR2 (24.25GHz–52.6GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6GHz, FR1 is generally (interchangeably) referred to as the “Sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. Similar naming issues sometimes arise with FR2, although it differs from the Extremely High Frequency (EHF) band (30GHz–300GHz) which the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) identifies as a “millimeter wave” band, it is generally referred to as the (interchangeably) “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles.

[0047] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have identified the operating frequency band for these mid-band frequencies as the frequency range name FR3 (7.125GHz–24.25GHz). Frequency bands belonging to FR3 can inherit FR1 and / or FR2 characteristics, thus effectively extending the characteristics of FR1 and / or FR2 to mid-band frequencies. Furthermore, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation above 52.6GHz. For example, three higher operating frequency bands have been identified as the frequency range names FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6GHz–71GHz), FR4 (52.6GHz–114.25GHz), and FR5 (114.25GHz–300GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands belongs to the EHF band.

[0048] Considering the examples above, unless explicitly stated otherwise, it should be understood that the terms "below 6 GHz," if used herein, can broadly indicate frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include intermediate frequency band frequencies. Furthermore, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the terms "millimeter wave," if used herein, can broadly indicate frequencies that may include intermediate frequency band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a, or FR4-1 and / or FR5, or may be within the EHF band. It is anticipated that frequencies included in these operating bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and / or FR5) may be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0049] In some aspects, UE 120 may include a communication manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may receive a measurement gap configuration from a base station, wherein the measurement gap configuration includes a call-out period; determine whether one or more data service standards are satisfied for the call-out period; ignore the measurement gap configuration at least in part based on the determination that one or more data service standards are satisfied; and maintain tuning to the base station during the call-out period at least in part based on the determination that one or more data service standards are satisfied. Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0050] In some aspects, base station 110 may include communication manager 150. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, communication manager 150 may provide measurement gap configuration and communicate with the UE after providing the measurement gap configuration. Additionally or alternatively, communication manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0051] As mentioned above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those provided. Figure 1 The content described.

[0052] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of a base station 110 communicating with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a to 234t, for example, T antennas (T≥1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a to 252r, for example, R antennas (R≥1).

[0053] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 can receive data from data source 212 intended for use by UE 120 (or a group of UEs 120). Transmit processor 220 can select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for UE 120, at least in part, based on one or more Channel Quality Indicators (CQIs) received from UE 120. Base station 110 can process (e.g., code and modulate) the data for UE 120, at least in part, based on the MCS selected for UE 120, and can provide data symbols for UE 120. Transmit processor 220 can process system information (e.g., for Semi-Static Resource Partitioning 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 generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., Cell-Specific Reference Signal (CRS) or Demodulation Reference Signal (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, if applicable, and can provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., T modems), shown as modems 232a to 232t. For example, each output symbol stream can be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of modem 232. Each modem 232 can use a corresponding modulator component to process the corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 can further use its respective modulator component to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. Modems 232a to 232t can transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas), shown as antennas 234a to 234t.

[0054] At UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a to 252r) can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations 110 and can provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to a set of modems 254 (e.g., R modems), shown as modems 254a to 254r. For example, each received signal can be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of modem 254. Each modem 254 can use its respective demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and / or digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each modem 254 can use the demodulator component to further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain a received symbol. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from modem 254, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide the detected symbols. The receiver processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the 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 CQI. In some examples, one or more components of UE 120 may be included in housing 284.

[0055] 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 a core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

[0056] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more groups of antenna elements, and / or one or more antenna arrays, and other examples, or may be included therein. Antenna panels, antenna groups, groups of antenna elements, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements (within a single or multiple housings), a group of coplanar antenna elements, a group of non-coplanar antenna elements, and / or one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmit and / or receive components, such as... Figure 2 One or more components.

[0057] On the uplink, at UE 120, the transmit processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reporting including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). The transmit processor 264 can generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. If applicable, the symbols from the transmit processor 264 can be pre-encoded by the TX MIMO processor 266, further processed by the modem 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some examples, the modem 254 of UE 120 may include a modulator and demodulator. In some examples, UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver can 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., references). Figure 4-8 ).

[0058] At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and / or other UEs can be received by antenna 234, processed by modem 232 (e.g., demodulator component of modem 232, shown as DEMOD), by MIMO detector 236 (if applicable), and further processed by receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receive 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 can communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink and / or uplink communication. In some examples, modem 232 of base station 110 may include modulator and demodulator. In some examples, base station 110 includes transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modem 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220, and / or 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., references). Figure 4-8 ).

[0059] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120 and / or Figure 2Any other component may perform one or more techniques associated with opportunistic configuration adjustments, as described in 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 can execute or direct, for example Figure 6 The operation of process 600 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and memory 282 may store data and program code for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some examples, 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, one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly, or after compilation, translation, and / or interpretation), may cause one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 to perform or direct, for example... Figure 6 The operation of process 600 and / or other processes as described herein. In some examples, execution instructions may include run instructions, transform instructions, compile instructions and / or interpret instructions, among others.

[0060] In some aspects, UE 120 may include units for receiving measurement gap configuration from a base station, wherein the measurement gap configuration includes a call-off period, units for determining whether one or more data service standards are satisfied for the call-off period, units for ignoring the measurement gap configuration at least partially based on the determination of whether one or more data service standards are satisfied, and units for maintaining tuning to the base station during the call-off period at least partially based on the determination of whether one or more data service standards are satisfied. In some aspects, such units 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.

[0061] As mentioned above, providing Figure 2 As an example. Other examples may be related to... Figure 2 The descriptions are different.

[0062] Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating example 300 of a double connection according to various aspects of this disclosure. Figure 3The example shown is for Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)-NR Dual Connectivity (ENDC) mode. In ENDC mode, UE 120 communicates using LTE RAT on the primary cell group (MCG) and UE 120 communicates using NR RAT on the secondary cell group (SCG). However, the aspects described herein can be applied to ENDC mode (e.g., where MCG is associated with an LTE RAT and SCG is associated with an NR RAT), NR-E-UTRA dual connectivity (NEDC) mode (e.g., where MCG is associated with an NR RAT and SCG is associated with an LTE RAT), NR dual connectivity (NRDC) mode (e.g., where MCG is associated with an NR RAT and SCG is also associated with an NR RAT), or another dual connectivity mode (e.g., where MCG is associated with a first RAT and SCG is associated with either a first RAT or a second RAT). ENDC mode is sometimes referred to as NR or 5G non-standalone (NSA) mode. Therefore, as used herein, dual connectivity mode can refer to ENDC mode, NEDC mode, NRDC mode, and / or another type of dual connectivity mode.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, UE 120 can communicate with eNB (e.g., 4G base station 110) and gNB (e.g., 5G base station 110), and the eNB and gNB can communicate with the 4G / LTE core network (e.g., directly or indirectly), which is shown as an evolved packet core network (EPC) including a Mobility Management Entity (MME), a Packet Data Network Gateway (PGW), a Serving Gateway (SGW), etc. Figure 3 In this context, PGW and SGW are uniformly referred to as P / SGW. eNB and gNB can be co-located in base station 110. eNB and gNB can be included in different base stations 110 (e.g., they can be not co-located).

[0064] like Figure 3As further illustrated, a wireless network permitted to operate in 5G NSA mode can use a primary cell group (MCG) for a first RAT (e.g., LTE RAT, 4G RAT, etc.) and a secondary cell group (SCG) for a second RAT (e.g., NR RAT, 5G RAT, etc.) to enable such operation. In this case, UE 120 can communicate with the eNB via the MCG and with the gNB via the SCG. The MCG can anchor the network connection between UE 120 and the 4G / LTE core network (e.g., for mobility, coverage, control plane information, etc.), and the SCG can be added as an additional carrier to increase throughput (e.g., for data services, user plane information, etc.). The gNB and eNB may not transmit user plane information to each other. UE 120 operating in dual connectivity mode can simultaneously connect to LTE base station 110 (e.g., eNB) and NR base station 110 (e.g., gNB) (e.g., in the case of ENDC or NEDC), or can simultaneously connect to one or more base stations 110 using the same RAT (e.g., in the case of NRDC). MCG can be associated with a first frequency band (e.g., a sub-6 GHz band and / or the FR1 band) and SCG can be associated with a second frequency band (e.g., a millimeter wave band and / or the FR2 band).

[0065] UE 120 can communicate via MCG and SCG using one or more radio bearers (e.g., data radio bearers (DRBs), signaling radio bearers (SRBs), etc.). For example, UE 120 can use one or more DRBs to send or receive data via MCG and / or SCG. Similarly, UE 120 can use one or more SRBs to send or receive control information (e.g., radio resource control (RRC) information, measurement reports, etc.). Radio bearers can be dedicated to a specific cell group (e.g., radio bearers can be MCG bearers, SCG bearers, etc.). Radio bearers can be separate radio bearers. Separate radio bearers can be separated in the uplink and / or downlink. For example, a DRB can be separated on the downlink (e.g., UE 120 can receive downlink information for the MCG or SCG in the DRB) but not on the uplink (e.g., the uplink can not be separated from the main path to the MCG or SCG, so that UE 120 only transmits in the uplink on the main path). A DRB can be separated from the main path to the MCG or SCG on the uplink. A DRB that is separated in the uplink can use the main path to send data until the size of the uplink transmit buffer meets the uplink data separation threshold. If the uplink transmit buffer meets the uplink data separation threshold, UE 120 can use the DRB to send data to the MCG or SCG.

[0066] As mentioned above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from those provided. Figure 3 The content described.

[0067] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating an example 400 of a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration according to various aspects of this disclosure.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, base station 110 can send DRX configuration to UE 120 to configure UE 120's DRX cycle 405. DRX cycle 405 may include a DRX on duration 410 (during which UE 120 is awake or active) and an opportunity 415 to enter a DRX sleep state. As used herein, the time during which UE 120 is configured to be active during the DRX on duration 410 may be referred to as the active time, and the time during which UE 120 is configured to be in a DRX sleep state 415 may be referred to as the inactive time. As described below, UE 120 may monitor the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) during the active time and may avoid monitoring the PDCCH during the inactive time.

[0069] During the DRX on-duration 410 (e.g., active time), UE 120 may monitor the downlink control channel (e.g., PDCCH), as indicated by reference numeral 420. For example, UE 120 may monitor the PDCCH for downlink control information (DCI) about UE 120. If UE 120 does not detect and / or successfully decode any PDCCH communication intended for UE 120 during the DRX on-duration 410, UE 120 may enter a sleep state 415 (e.g., continuous inactivity time) at the end of the DRX on-duration 410, as indicated by reference numeral 425. In this way, UE 120 can conserve battery power and reduce power consumption. As shown, DRX cycle 405 can repeat at a configured period according to the DRX configuration.

[0070] If UE 120 detects and / or successfully decodes the PDCCH communication intended for UE 120, UE 120 may remain active (e.g., wake up) for the duration of DRX inactivity timer 430 (e.g., this may extend the active time). UE 120 may start DRX inactivity timer 430 at the time the PDCCH communication is received (e.g., within the Transmission Time Interval (TTI) of receiving the PDCCH communication, such as a time slot, subframe, etc.). UE 120 may remain active until DRX inactivity timer 430 expires, at which point UE 120 may enter sleep state 415 (e.g., continuous inactivity time), as indicated by reference numeral 435. During the duration of the DRX inactivity timer 430, UE 120 can continue to monitor PDCCH communications, acquire downlink data communications scheduled by PDCCH communications (e.g., on a downlink data channel, such as the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)), and prepare and / or transmit uplink communications scheduled by PDCCH communications (e.g., on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)). UE 120 can restart the DRX inactivity timer 430 after each detection of PDCCH communications for an initial transmission (e.g., but not for retransmissions) for UE 120. By operating in this manner, UE 120 can conserve battery power and reduce power consumption by entering sleep state 415.

[0071] As mentioned above, providing Figure 4 As an example. Other examples may be related to... Figure 4 The descriptions are different.

[0072] In an ad hoc network (SON), the UE can perform measurements, such as Automatic Neighbor Relationship (ANR) measurements, to enable network self-configuration. When performing ANR measurements and reporting, the UE can identify one or more cells not included in the neighbor list and report these cells to the BS, allowing the BS to configure communication parameters, such as beam parameters or scheduling parameters. The UE can receive information identifying the neighbor list in System Information Blocks (SIBs) transmitted from the BS; for example, in LTE, SIB Type 4 (SIB4) for co-frequency cells or SIB Type 5 (SIB5) for inter-frequency cells. Other SIBs or message types can be used in other RATs.

[0073] The UE can perform ANR measurements during a configured measurement gap. The BS can provide information identifying the measurement gap configuration to configure the measurement gap. The measurement gap configuration can define parameters of the measurement gap, such as the length or period of the measurement gap. During the configured measurement gap, the UE can leave the current RAT cell (e.g., the RAT cell the UE is currently using for communication) and attempt to measure other RAT cells. In this case, the UE may not be able to decode any communication received on the current RAT cell during the measurement gap.

[0074] Although the UE may have procedures for recovering lost communications, such as Layer 2 (L2) recovery procedures or upper-layer recovery procedures, such recovery procedures may utilize excessive radio resources, have errors in reordering window management for link-layer protocols, or experience increased latency (e.g., from buffering of link-layer data based on timers before forwarding subsequent packets). For example, regarding streaming video communications, lost communications associated with measurement gaps may result in lost packets with later recovery (e.g., this may cause delays) and refresh packets (e.g., this may cause packet loss), leading to jitter and video errors accompanying streaming video communications. Therefore, the BS can avoid sending any communications to the UE during measurement gaps to prevent lost communications.

[0075] However, with increasingly complex network deployments such as EN-DC networks, as mentioned above, among other examples, some BSs may inadvertently send information to the UE during measurement gaps. For instance, errors in X2 interface coordination may cause some BSs to have incorrect or incomplete information about the configuration of the UEs they are communicating with during measurement gaps, which could result in the BS sending information during measurement gaps but being unable to send information to the UE during non-measurement gap periods.

[0076] Some aspects described in this paper enable opportunistic configuration adjustments. For example, a UE might opportunistically ignore measurement gaps and continue tuning to the BS and decoding information from the BS. In this case, the UE can determine whether to ignore the measurement gap based at least in part on meeting one or more data service criteria, such as the type of bearer service the UE is receiving, packet loss rate or latency thresholds, or the type of call the UE is performing, among other examples. Based at least in part on determining to ignore the measurement gap, the UE can continue attempting to decode information received from the BS during the scheduled measurement gap, thus avoiding lost communication if the BS inadvertently violates the scheduled measurement gap by continuing to communicate with the UE. In this way, the UE avoids lost communication, excessive latency, excessive packet loss or communication interruptions (e.g., excessive jitter on streaming video), among other examples.

[0077] Figure 5This is a diagram illustrating example 500 related to opportunistic configuration adjustments according to various aspects of this disclosure. Figure 5 As shown, Example 500 includes communication between one or more base stations 110 and UE 120. Base station 110 and UE 120 may be included in a wireless network, such as wireless network 100. Base station 110 and UE 120 may communicate over a radio access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink. One or more base stations 110 may communicate over a backhaul interface such as an X2 interface.

[0078] like Figure 5 As further shown, and via reference numeral 505, UE 120 can receive information identifying the measurement gap configuration. For example, UE 120 can receive information identifying the length of the measurement gap, the period of the measurement gap, or the start of the measurement gap, etc.

[0079] like Figure 5 As further shown, and via reference numeral 510, UE 120 can determine whether one or more data service standards are met. For example, UE 120 can determine that the data service between UE 120 and base station 110 for which UE 120 will ignore measurement gaps is associated with a specific type of bearer service (e.g., Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) traffic or streaming video traffic). In this case, UE 120 can determine, at least in part, that the specific type of bearer service is a bearer service for which UE 120 will ignore measurement gaps based on the quality of service (QoS) requirements of the bearer supporting the specific type of bearer service. Additionally or alternatively, UE 120 can receive notification from UE 120's modem that the bearer is associated with the specific type of bearer service.

[0080] In some respects, UE 120 may determine whether one or more data service criteria are met, at least in part, based on the association between the data service and the bearer service type of the notification. For example, UE 120 may determine, at least in part, that the bearer service will cover the measurement gap configuration, based on the application, application programming interface (API), application processor or host information, and other examples associated with the bearer service. Additionally or alternatively, UE 120 may determine whether one or more data service criteria are met, at least in part, based on the satisfaction of thresholds. For example, UE 120 may determine whether packet loss rate, delay or retransmission count (to recover lost data), packet delay budget (PDB), packet error rate (PER), bit error rate (BER), block error rate (BLER), maximum bit rate (MBR), average bit rate, minimum bit rate, etc., meet thresholds.

[0081] In some respects, UE 120 may determine whether one or more data service standards are met, at least in part, based on the communication type. For example, when UE 120 operates in a single EN-DC communication type, UE 120 may determine to ignore measurement gaps. Additionally or alternatively, UE 120 may determine to ignore measurement gaps, at least in part, based on things such as Layer 1 (L1) measurements or signal thresholds (e.g., Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ)).

[0082] like Figure 5 As further shown, and by reference numeral 515, UE 120 can ignore measurement gaps and remain tuned to base station 110. For example, when UE 120 determines that one or more data service standards are met, UE 120 can ignore the scheduled measurement gaps, remain tuned to base station 110, and decode communications from base station 110 if base station 110 transmits data during the scheduled measurement gaps. Alternatively, when UE 120 determines that one or more data service standards are not met, UE 120 can perform one or more measurements, such as ANR measurements during measurement gaps, measurements associated with reports (e.g., A1, A2, B1, etc.).

[0083] In some aspects, UE 120 can determine which measurements to skip based on the skip mode. For example, UE 120 can skip a first subset of measurements to allow decoding during the measurement gap, but perform a second subset of measurements (e.g., at least in part based on the corresponding type or priority of the first and second subsets of measurements). In some aspects, UE 120 can ignore DRX configurations. For example, UE 120 can determine, at least in part based on the determination to ignore measurement gaps, to avoid switching between DRX modes according to the measurement gap configuration.

[0084] In some respects, UE 120 may ignore subsequent measurement gaps. For example, when UE 120 determines that one or more data service standards are met, UE 120 may determine to ignore multiple measurement gaps, such as a threshold number of measurement gaps or all subsequent measurement gaps (e.g., until a new measurement gap configuration is received). Additionally or alternatively, UE 120 may determine to ignore a single measurement gap and may perform another determination regarding whether one or more data service standards are met for subsequent measurement gaps.

[0085] As mentioned above, providing Figure 5 As an example. Other examples may differ from those regarding... Figure 5 As described.

[0086] Figure 6This is a diagram illustrating, for example, an example process 600 performed by a user equipment (UE) according to various aspects of this disclosure. Example process 600 is an example in which the UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with techniques for opportunistic configuration adjustments.

[0087] like Figure 6 As shown, in some aspects, process 600 may include receiving a measurement gap configuration from a base station, wherein the measurement gap configuration includes a time-out period (block 610). For example, the UE (e.g., using receiving component 702, such as...) Figure 7 (As shown) can receive measurement gap configuration from the base station, wherein the measurement gap configuration includes a shift period, as described above.

[0088] like Figure 6 As further shown, in some aspects, process 600 may include determining whether one or more data service standards meet the off-period (block 620). For example, the UE (e.g., using...) Figure 7 The determining component 708 described herein can determine whether one or more data service standards meet the off-period requirements, as described above.

[0089] like Figure 6 As further shown, in some aspects, process 600 may include ignoring measurement gap configuration (block 630) at least in part based on a determination of whether one or more data service standards are met. For example, the UE (e.g., using...) Figure 7 The measurement control component 710 or decoding control component 712 (as described above) may ignore the measurement gap configuration at least in part based on the determination of whether one or more data service standards are met.

[0090] like Figure 6 As further shown, in some aspects, process 600 may include maintaining tuning to the base station during the off-call period, at least in part, based on a determination of whether one or more data service standards are met (block 640). For example, the UE (e.g., using...) Figure 7 The measurement control component 710 or decoding control component 712 (as described above) can maintain tuning to the base station during the off-duty period, at least in part, based on the determination of whether one or more data service standards are met.

[0091] Process 600 may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects of one or more other processes described below and / or elsewhere herein.

[0092] In the first aspect, one or more data service standards include the establishment of a specific type of bearer service, wherein the specific type of bearer service is based at least in part on at least one of a quality of service parameter or a modem level configuration.

[0097] In the sixth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to fifth aspects, the shift period is a discontinuous reception period and the measurement gap configuration is a discontinuous reception configuration.

[0098] In the seventh aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to sixth aspects, one or more data service standards include call types, wherein the call type is the E-UTRA new radio dual-connection call type.

[0099] In the eighth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to seventh aspects, one or more data service standards include at least one of radio conditions, layer 1 measurements, or signal thresholds.

[0100] In the ninth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first through eighth aspects, one or more data business standards include the types of measurements to be performed during the off-duty period.

[0101] In the tenth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to ninth aspects, ignoring the shift period includes ignoring the execution of measurements scheduled for the shift period.

[0102] In the eleventh aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to tenth aspects, ignoring the shift period includes ignoring the transition to a discontinuous reception off state for the shift period.

[0103] In the twelfth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to eleventh aspects, maintaining tuning to the base station includes decoding network services associated with the base station for off-duty periods.

[0104] In the thirteenth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to twelfth aspects, maintaining tuning to the base station includes maintaining discontinuous reception enabled for off-peak periods.

[0105] In the fourteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to thirteenth aspects, process 600 includes operating according to the measurement gap configuration for the next shift period.

[0106] In the fifteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to fourteenth aspects, process 600 includes ignoring the set of subsequent transfer periods.

[0107] Although Figure 6 An example block of process 600 is shown, but in some respects, process 600 may include more than Figure 6 The blocks depicted may include more blocks, fewer blocks, different blocks, or blocks with different arrangements. Alternatively, two or more blocks of process 600 may be executed in parallel.

[0108] Figure 7 This is a block diagram of an example device 700 for wireless communication. Device 700 may be a UE, or a UE may include device 700. In some aspects, device 700 includes a receiving component 702 and a transmitting component 704, which can communicate with each other (e.g., via one or more buses and / or one or more other components). As shown, device 700 can use the receiving component 702 and the transmitting component 704 to communicate with another device 706 (e.g., a UE, a base station, or another wireless communication device). Further as shown, device 700 may include one or more of a determining component 708, a measurement control component 710, or a decoding control component 712, etc.

For example, a component (or a portion of a component) may be implemented as instructions or code stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium and executable by a controller or processor to perform the function or operation of the component.

[0110] Receiver 702 may receive communications from device 706, such as reference signals, control information, data communications, or combinations thereof. Receiver 702 may provide the received communications to one or more other components of device 700. In some aspects, receiver 702 may perform signal processing on the received communications (such as filtering, amplification, demodulation, analog-to-digital conversion, demultiplexing, deinterleaving, demapping, equalization, interference cancellation, or decoding), and may provide the processed signal to one or more other components of device 706. In some aspects, receiver 702 may include the elements described above. Figure 2 The described UE includes one or more antennas, demodulators, MIMO detectors, receiver processors, controllers / processors, memory, or combinations thereof.
