[0003] Application date: December 24, 2019

[0004] Invention Title: Dynamic Configuration of Operating Power Parameters

[0005] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0006] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 789,304, filed on January 7, 2019, entitled “DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION OF POWER PARAMETER VALUES,” and U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application No. 16 / 725,254, filed on December 23, 2019, entitled “DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION OF POWER PARAMETER VALUES,” which are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0007] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques and apparatus for dynamic configuration of power parameter values. Background Art

[0008] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunication services, such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple access technologies that can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit 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 released by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0009] A wireless communication network may include multiple base stations (BSs) that may support communications for multiple user equipments (UEs). The UE may communicate with the BS via a downlink and an uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers to a communication link from the BS to the UE, while the uplink (or reverse link) refers to a communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, the BS may be referred to as a Node B, gNB, access point (AP), radio head, transmit receive point (TRP), 5G BS, 5G Node B, etc.

[0010] The above-mentioned multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different wireless communication devices to communicate at the city, country, region and even global level. 5G, which can also be referred to as New Radio (NR), is an enhancement set to the LTE mobile standard released by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). 5G is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving services, utilizing new spectrum, better integrating with OFDM (CP-OFDM) with cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), and supporting beamforming, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna technology and carrier aggregation. However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, there is a need for further improvements in LTE and 5G technologies. Preferably, these improvements should be applicable to other multiple access technologies and telecommunication standards that adopt these technologies. Summary of the invention

[0011] Battery life is an important consideration for UEs, especially for UEs where battery replacement may be difficult, such as narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) UEs operating in remote geographic areas. However, throughput is also an important consideration for UEs and often directly conflicts with power conservation and battery life because high throughput requires more power than low throughput. In some cases, when there is no data for the UE to send or receive, the UE can use a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle to transition between a sleep state and an active state to save battery power. However, in addition to or as an alternative to the DRX cycle, the UE can benefit from additional power savings.

[0012] Some techniques and apparatus described herein allow a UE to switch between different power configurations, which are defined by different values ​​of different operating power parameters (e.g., a transmit power parameter or a receive power parameter) that affect the amount of power consumed by the UE (e.g., used to communicate with a base station or perform other operations). In some aspects, these transitions can be signaled by the base station based at least in part on the traffic volume of the UE, which can help improve throughput (e.g., when data is available for the UE) and can help extend the battery life of the UE (e.g., when data is not available for the UE). In addition, these transitions can be signaled dynamically, such as in downlink control information (DCI) and / or media access control (MAC) control elements (CEs) (MAC-CEs), which can save battery power compared to reconfiguring the UE using radio resource control (RRC) messages, and this can allow the UE to be quickly reconfigured when conditions associated with the UE change. In addition, some techniques and apparatus described herein are able to indicate power configurations using a small amount of overhead, thereby saving network resources.

[0038] The specific embodiments described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings are intended to be descriptions of various configurations and are not intended to represent configurations in which the concepts described herein may be practiced. In order to provide a thorough understanding of the various concepts, the specific embodiments include specific details. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these concepts may be practiced without these specific details. In some cases, well-known structures and components are shown in block diagram form to avoid obscuring these concepts.

[0039] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatus and methods. These apparatus and methods will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms and / or the like (collectively referred to as "elements"). These elements may be implemented using electronic hardware, computer software, or any combination thereof. Whether these elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0040] For example, an element or any part of an element or any combination of elements can be implemented with a "processing system" including one or more processors. Examples of processors include microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSPs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), programmable logic devices (PLDs), state machines, gated logic, discrete hardware circuits, and other suitable hardware configured to perform the various functions described in the present disclosure. One or more processors in a processing system can execute software. Software should be broadly interpreted as meaning instructions, instruction sets, codes, code segments, program codes, programs, subroutines, software modules, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects, executable files, execution threads, processes, functions, and / or the like, whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description languages, or otherwise.

[0041] Therefore, in one or more exemplary embodiments, the functions described may be implemented in hardware, software, firmware, or any combination thereof. If implemented in software, these functions may be stored in or encoded as one or more instructions or codes on a computer-readable medium. Computer-readable media include computer storage media. Storage media may be any available medium that can be accessed by a computer. By way of example and not limitation, such computer-readable media may include random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), compact disk ROM (CD-ROM)) or other optical disk storage devices, magnetic disk storage devices or other magnetic storage devices, a combination of the above-mentioned types of computer-readable media, or any other medium that can be used to store computer executable code in the form of instructions or data structures that can be accessed by a computer.

[0042] It should be noted that although terms commonly associated with 3G and / or 4G wireless technologies may be used herein to describe various aspects, various aspects of the present disclosure may be applied to other generation-based communication systems, including 5G technology, such as 5G and beyond.

[0043] Figure 1is a diagram showing a wireless network 100 in which various aspects of the present disclosure may be practiced. The wireless network 100 may be an LTE network or some other wireless network, such as a 5G network. The wireless network 100 may include a plurality of BSs 110 (shown as BS110a, BS110b, BS110c, and BS110d) and other network entities. A BS is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as a base station, 5G BS, Node B, gNB, 5G 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 a coverage area of ​​a BS and / or a BS subsystem serving the coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0044] A BS may provide communication coverage for macro cells, pico cells, femto cells, and / or other types of cells. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access to UEs with service subscriptions. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access to UEs with service subscriptions. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access to UEs associated with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A BS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. A BS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110a may be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS 110b may be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c may be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS may support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms "eNB", "base station", "5G BS", "gNB", "TRP", "AP", "Node B", "5G NB", and "cell" may be used interchangeably herein.

[0045] In some examples, the cell may not necessarily be fixed, and the geographical area of ​​the cell may move according to the location of the mobile BS. In some examples, the BSs may be interconnected with each other and / or with one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the access network 100 using any suitable transport network through various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections, virtual networks, etc.).

[0046] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that can receive data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions of other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, a relay station 110d may communicate with the macro BS 110a and the UE 120d to facilitate communication between the BS 110a and the UE 120d. A relay station may also be referred to as a relay BS, a relay base station, a relay station, etc.

[0047] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network including different types of BSs, such as a macro BS, a pico BS, a femto BS, a relay BS, etc. These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, a macro BS may have a higher transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while a pico BS, a femto BS, and a relay BS may have a lower transmit power level (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0048] A network controller 130 may be coupled to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control for these BSs. The network controller 130 may communicate with the eNBs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicate with each other directly or indirectly, for example, via a wireless or wired backhaul.

[0049] UE 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be fixed 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 smart phone), 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 or instrument, a biometric sensor / device, a wearable device (smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or satellite radio, etc.), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, an industrial manufacturing device, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0050] Some UEs may be considered machine type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, etc. that can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide, for example, connectivity to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or a cellular network) via a wired or wireless communication link. 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 inside a housing that houses components of UE 120 (e.g., processor components, memory components, etc.).

[0051] Generally, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. RAT can also be referred to as radio technology, air interface, etc. Frequency can also be referred to as carrier, channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographic area to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0052] In some examples, access to the air interface may be scheduled, wherein a scheduling entity (e.g., a base station) allocates resources for communications between some or all devices and equipment within a service area or cell of the scheduling entity. Within the present disclosure, as further discussed below, a scheduling entity may be responsible for scheduling, assigning, reconfiguring, and releasing resources for one or more subordinate entities. That is, for scheduled communications, the subordinate entities utilize resources allocated by the scheduling entity.

[0053] The base station is not the only entity that can be used as a scheduling entity. That is, in some examples, the UE can be used as a scheduling entity to schedule resources for one or more subordinate entities (e.g., one or more other UEs). In this example, the UE is used as a scheduling entity, and other UEs use the resources scheduled by the UE for wireless communication. The UE can be used as a scheduling entity in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network and / or a mesh network. In the mesh network example, in addition to communicating with the scheduling entity, the UEs can optionally communicate directly with each other.

[0054] Thus, in a wireless communication network having scheduled access to time-frequency resources and having a cellular configuration, a P2P configuration, and a mesh configuration, a scheduling entity and one or more slave entities may communicate using the scheduled resources.

[0055] As pointed out above, Figure 1 are provided as examples only. Other examples may be relevant to Figure 1 Different than described.

[0056] Figure 2 Block diagram 200 shows a design of base station 110 and UE 120, which may be Figure 1 Base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a through 234t, and UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a through 252r, where in general T≧1 and R≧1.

[0057] At the base station 110, the transmit processor 220 may receive data for one or more UEs from the data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on a channel quality indicator (CQI) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) data for each UE based at least in part on the (multiple) MCS selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. The transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI) and the like) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, etc.) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., CRS) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). If applicable, the transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on ​​the data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MOD) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can process a corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) 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. According to various aspects described in more detail below, position coding can be used to generate synchronization signals to convey additional information.

[0058] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r may receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations, and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMOD) 254a to 254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM, etc.) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive (RX) processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to a controller / processor 280. A channel processor may determine RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, etc.

[0059] On the uplink, at the UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information from a controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, etc.). The transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. If applicable, the symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266, then further processed by modulators 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, etc.), and transmitted to the base station 110. At the base station 110, uplink signals from the UE 120 and other UEs may be received by the antenna 234, processed by the demodulator 232, detected by the MIMO detector 236 (if applicable), and further processed by the receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to the data sink 239 and the decoded control information to the controller / processor 240. The base station 110 may include a communication unit 244 and communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller / processor 290, and a memory 292.

[0060] The controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other components of the controller / processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component of the can perform or direct e.g. Figure 5 Method 500, Figure 6 The operations of the method 600 and / or other processes described herein. The memories 242 and 282 may store data and program codes for the BS 110 and the UE 120, respectively. The scheduler 246 may schedule the UE for data transmission on the downlink and / or uplink.

[0061] As pointed out above, Figure 2 are provided as examples only. Other examples may be relevant to Figure 2 Different than described.

[0062] Battery life is an important consideration for UE 120, especially for UE 120 operating in remote areas that may not be easily accessible to replace batteries, such as NB-IoT UE and / or the like. However, throughput is also an important consideration for UE 120 and often directly conflicts with power conservation and battery life because high throughput requires more power than low throughput. In some cases, when there is no data for UE 120 to send or receive, UE 120 can use a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle to switch between a sleep state and an active state to save battery power. However, in addition to or as an alternative to the DRX cycle, UE 120 can benefit from additional power savings.

[0063] Some techniques and apparatus described herein allow a UE 120 to transition between different power configurations defined by different values ​​of different operating power parameters (e.g., a transmit power parameter and / or a receive power parameter) that affect the amount of power consumed by the UE 120 (e.g., to communicate with a base station 110 or perform other operations). The operating power of the UE 120 may include a transmit power or a receive power, which may be affected by an operating power parameter, such as a transmit power parameter or a receive power parameter. Based at least in part on enabling the UE 120 to transition between different power configurations associated with different values ​​of different operating power parameters, the UE 120 may optimize the operating power of the UE 120 (e.g., the UE 120 may optimize the transmit power for transmitting to the BS 110 or optimize the receive power for receiving signaling from the BS 110).

[0064] In some aspects, these transitions may be signaled by the base station 110 based at least in part on the traffic volume of the UE 120, which may help improve throughput (e.g., when data is available for the UE 120) and may help extend the battery life of the UE 120 (e.g., when data is not available for the UE 120). In addition, these transitions may be signaled dynamically, such as in downlink control information (DCI) and / or a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC-CE), which may save battery power compared to reconfiguring the UE 120 using a radio resource control (RRC) message, and which may allow the UE 120 to be quickly reconfigured when conditions associated with the UE 120 change. In addition, some techniques and apparatuses described herein may enable power configuration to be indicated using a small amount of overhead, thereby saving network resources.

[0065] Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of dynamic configuration of power parameter values.

[0066] At 305, UE 120 may receive from base station 110 a first indication of a set of operating power parameters and a second indication of a set of values ​​associated with the set of operating power parameters. The set of values ​​of the set of operating power parameters may define a power configuration of UE 120 (e.g., for transmission and / or for reception). As described in more detail below, in some aspects, the first indication and the second indication may be included in a DCI (e.g., a UE-specific DCI, a packet-common DCI, a cell-specific DCI, etc.), a MAC-CE, or a combination of a DCI and a MAC-CE. The set of operating power parameters may be selected from a plurality of sets of operating power parameters that are configurable (e.g., capable of having different values) to implement different power configurations of UE 120. In other words, a first power configuration may be defined by a first subset of possible operating power parameters configured with a first set of values, and a second power configuration may be defined by a second subset of possible operating power parameters configured with a second set of values. In this case, at least one operating power parameter or at least one value may be different between the first subset of possible operating power parameters and the second subset of possible operating power parameters or the first set of values ​​and the second set of values, respectively, to define different power configurations.

[0067] The set of values ​​may include a value for each operating power parameter included in the set of operating power parameters. In some aspects, the set of values ​​may define a power configuration for UE 120, and / or different sets of values ​​may correspond to different power configurations for UE 120. Thus, UE 120 may be able to operate using different power configurations, which may consume different amounts of power for communications of UE 120, may cause UE 120 to operate at different power consumption rates, etc.

[0068] In some aspects, the base station 110 may determine the set of operating power parameters and / or may select the set of operating power parameters from a plurality of sets of operating power parameters based at least in part on capabilities of the UE 120, which may be signaled to the base station 110 in a UE capability report, may depend on a device type (e.g., UE classification, UE category, etc.) of the UE 120 signaled to the base station 110, etc. For example, the UE capability report may indicate one or more operating power parameters that may be configured or reconfigured for the UE 120, and the base station 110 may select a set of operating power parameters to be configured for the UE 120 based at least in part on such capabilities. In this case, as an example, the UE capability report may indicate that the UE 120 is capable of configuring a bandwidth portion for the UE 120 to a specific bandwidth portion (e.g., the specific bandwidth portion may be a value for a bandwidth portion configuration parameter) and / or that a delay between a DCI and an uplink associated therewith is configurable to a specific number of slots or symbols (e.g., the specific number may be a value for a DCI to uplink transmission delay configuration parameter). In this manner, base station 110 may ensure that UE 120 is able to reconfigure operating power parameters indicated by base station 110 to reduce errors, improve battery life and / or throughput (eg, depending on the configuration), and so on.

[0069] Additionally or alternatively, the base station 110 may determine the set of values ​​and / or may select the set of values ​​from multiple sets of values ​​in a manner similar to that described above, at least in part based on the capabilities of the UE 120, the device type of the UE 120, etc. For example, the UE capability report may indicate, for one or more operating power parameters, that the UE 120 is capable of configuring the values ​​of the operating power parameters. Returning to the previous example, the UE capability report may identify the bandwidth portion to be configured for the UE 120, the value for the number of time slots or symbols, etc. The base station 110 may select a set of values ​​to configure the set of operating power parameters based at least in part on such capabilities. In this way, the base station 110 can ensure that the UE 120 is capable of reconfiguring the operating power parameters indicated by the base station 110, thereby reducing errors, improving battery life and / or throughput (e.g., depending on the configuration), etc.

[0070] Additionally or alternatively, base station 110 may determine the set of values ​​based at least in part on whether there is data available for UE 120, based at least in part on an amount of network traffic (e.g., data) associated with UE 120, etc. For example, if there is data available for UE 120 or if the amount of network traffic associated with UE 120 satisfies a threshold, base station 110 may configure UE 120 with a set of values ​​for a set of operating power parameters that results in a high throughput (e.g., and high power consumption) power configuration for UE 120. For example, base station 110 may configure UE 120 with a wide bandwidth portion greater than a threshold, a short downlink control channel monitoring period less than a threshold, a large number of MIMO layers greater than a threshold, a short hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timeline greater than a threshold, etc. Conversely, if there is no data available for UE 120 or if the amount of network traffic associated with UE 120 does not satisfy a threshold, base station 110 may configure UE 120 with a set of values ​​for a set of operating power parameters that results in a low power consumption (e.g., and low throughput) power configuration for UE 120. For example, base station 110 may configure UE 120 with narrow bandwidth portions, long downlink control channel monitoring periods, a small number of MIMO layers, a long hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) timeline, and the like.

[0071] In some aspects, the multiple sets of operating power parameters and / or the multiple sets of values ​​may be predetermined (e.g., specified according to a wireless communication standard). Additionally or alternatively, the multiple sets of operating power parameters and / or the multiple sets of values ​​may be indicated by the base station 110 to the UE 120 in a signaling message, such as an RRC message (e.g., an RRC configuration message, an RRC reconfiguration message, etc.) and / or another signaling message.

[0072] At 310, in some aspects, a first indication and a second indication may be sent and / or received in a DCI. For example, a first field of the DCI (shown as "parameter(s)") may indicate a set of operating power parameters, and a second field of the DCI (shown as "value(s)") may indicate a set of values ​​configured for the set of operating power parameters. In example 300, an index is used to indicate the set of operating power parameters, and for the first indication, the index value is zero (shown as "parameter subset index = 0").

[0073] Although some aspects are described herein as using index values ​​for the first indication, other types of indicators may also be used for the first indication. Additionally or alternatively, the first DCI field may explicitly identify a single operating power parameter (e.g., rather than an index pointing to a set of operating power parameters), and the second DCI field may indicate a value for a single operating power parameter. In some aspects, multiple instances of the first DCI field and the second DCI field may be used to indicate multiple operating power parameters and values ​​corresponding to those operating power parameters. In addition, although the index value is shown as being expressed using a number (e.g., an integer), in some aspects, the index value may be expressed using an enumeration. As further shown, the group of values ​​may be included in the DCI (e.g., may be explicitly indicated in the second field of the DCI). Alternatively, the second field of the DCI may include an index (referred to herein as a value vector index) to indicate the group of values, as described below.

[0074] At 315, the index value may correspond to and / or identify the set of operating power parameters. For example, a first index value (displayed as "0") may correspond to a first set of operating power parameters (displayed as two operating power parameters: "{minimum k0, periodic CSI}"), a second index value (displayed as "1") may correspond to a second set of operating power parameters (displayed as three operating power parameters: "{PDCCH AL, number of PDCCH candidates, Scell ​​PDCCH monitoring}"), etc. In some aspects, a set of operating power parameters may include a single operating power parameter. In some aspects, a set of operating power parameters may include multiple operating power parameters (e.g., a list of operating power parameters). Although example 300 shows an index value in a first field of the DCI, in some aspects, the first field of the DCI may list a set of operating power parameters (e.g., the set of operating power parameters may be explicitly indicated in the DCI rather than identified using an index value). In some aspects, the DCI may be a specific type of DCI. For example, when the first indication and the second indication are outside the active time of the UE, the first indication and the second indication may be a PDCCH wake-up signal DCI. Additionally or alternatively, the DCI may be DCI type 0-1, DCI type 1-1, etc.

[0075] In some aspects, the relationship between the index value and the corresponding set of operating power parameters (e.g., a one-to-one relationship between a single index value and a single set of one or more operating power parameters) can be predetermined (e.g., specified according to a wireless communication standard). Additionally or alternatively, the one or more relationships between the one or more index values ​​and the one or more sets of operating power parameters can be indicated to the UE 120 by the base station 110 in a signaling message such as an RRC message. In this way, the UE 120 and the base station 110 can use the index value or similar indicator to identify a set of operating power parameters, thereby saving signaling overhead (e.g., in DCI, MAC-CE, etc.).

[0076] At 320, in some aspects, the second indication may include a value vector index indicating a set of values. In example 300, the set of values ​​is indicated using a value vector index with an index value of 1 (shown as "Value vector index = 1"). Although some aspects are described herein as using an index value for the second indication, other types of indicators may also be used for the second indication.

[0077] At 325, the value vector index may correspond to and / or identify the set of values. For example, a first value vector index value (displayed as "0") may correspond to a first set of values ​​(displayed as two values: "{0, "enable"}"), a second value vector index value (displayed as "1") may correspond to a second set of values ​​(displayed as two values: "{2, "disable"}"), and so on. In some aspects, a set of values ​​may include a single value (e.g., when a set of operating power parameters includes a single operating power parameter). In some aspects, a set of values ​​may include multiple values ​​(e.g., when a set of operating power parameters includes multiple operating power parameters). In some aspects, the number of values ​​included in the set of values ​​may be the same as the number of operating power parameters included in the set of operating power parameters to which the set of values ​​corresponds.

[0078] In some aspects, the relationship between the vector index and the corresponding set of values ​​(e.g., a one-to-one relationship between a single index value and a single set of one or more values) may be predetermined (e.g., specified according to a wireless communication standard). Additionally or alternatively, the one or more relationships between the vector index value(s) and the set of values ​​may be indicated to the UE 120 by the base station 110 in a signaling message such as an RRC message. In this way, the UE 120 and the base station 110 may use the vector index value or a similar indicator to identify a set of values, thereby saving signaling overhead (e.g., in a DCI, MAC-CE, etc.).

[0079] At 330, UE 120 may configure itself to operate using a power configuration indicated by a set of values ​​for a set of operating power parameters indicated by the first indication and indicated by the second indication. For example, UE 120 may configure the set of operating power parameters using the set of values. Additionally or alternatively, base station 110 may configure communications with UE 120 based at least in part on the power configuration (e.g., the set of values ​​for the set of operating power parameters). UE 120 and base station 110 may communicate based at least in part on the power configuration.

[0080] In some aspects, if the UE 120 cannot configure the indicated operating power parameter with the value indicated for the operating power parameter, the UE 120 can ignore such an indication and can continue to operate using the value of the operating power parameter with which the UE 120 is already operating. Alternatively, the UE 120 can configure the indicated operating power parameter with a value that the UE 120 can use and is closest to the indicated value. In some aspects, a set of values ​​indicated to the UE 120 may include null values ​​for one or more operating power parameters. For example, the base station 110 may send a null value for the operating power parameter based at least in part on determining that the UE 120 cannot configure the operating power parameter (e.g., based on a UE capability report and / or the like, as described above). In this case, the UE 120 can continue to operate using the value of the operating power parameter with which the UE 120 is already operating. In this way, errors can be reduced while still allowing configuration of other operating power parameters to improve battery life, improve throughput, etc.

[0081] In some aspects, different groups of operating power parameters may include different combinations of operating power parameters from a global operating power parameter group, the global operating power parameter group including all possible operating power parameters that can be reconfigured for power configuration. In this case, the message including all operating power parameters for communication may be a bandwidth portion switching message. In some aspects, all operating power parameter groups except the global operating power parameter group are mutually exclusive. In this case, a specific operating power parameter is only included in a single group of operating power parameters. Alternatively, the operating power parameter may be included in multiple groups of operating power parameters. In some aspects, a set of operating power parameters indicated to UE 120 may be a global operating power parameter group of all operating power parameters included in all other operating power parameter groups of the multiple groups of operating power parameters.

[0082] In some aspects, the set of operating power parameters may include one or more frequency domain configuration operating power parameters, such as operating power parameters related to reference signals for bandwidth part (BWP) switching (e.g., whether to enable or disable UE monitoring and / or processing of reference signals), operating power parameters related to BWP configuration (e.g., a BWP index for a BWP through which UE 120 will communicate and / or monitor wake-up signals, whether to switch to a default BWP upon wake-up, whether to remain on an active BWP upon wake-up, etc.), operating power parameters related to secondary cell (SCell) activation (e.g., whether the SCell is enabled or disabled), operating power parameters indicating whether to monitor and / or decode a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the SCell (e.g., whether to enable or disable the SCell), and operating power parameters indicating whether to monitor and / or decode a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the SCell. Figure 3 shown as "Scell ​​PDCCH monitoring"), operating power parameters indicating whether the SCell uses self-scheduling or cross-carrier scheduling, operating power parameters indicating whether the search space is shared across cells (e.g., serving cells), operating power parameters indicating that one or more of the above-mentioned frequency domain configuration operating power parameters will be applied to one or more SCells, and so on.

[0083] Additionally or alternatively, the set of operating power parameters may include one or more time domain configuration operating power parameters, such as indicating a time delay (e.g., in time slots, codewords, etc.) between a DCI (e.g., on a PDCCH) and a corresponding data or reference signal transmission (e.g., where UE120 can configure a low power configuration during the time delay), an operating power parameter indicating a time domain resource allocation (TDRA) table to be used by UE 120, and the like.

[0084] Additionally or alternatively, the set of operating power parameters may include one or more scheduling configuration operating power parameters, such as an operating power parameter indicating whether slot-based or non-slot-based scheduling is used, an operating power parameter indicating whether multi-slot scheduling is enabled or disabled (e.g., multi-slot scheduling with a single DCI scheduling data or reference signal in multiple slots), etc.

[0085] Additionally or alternatively, the set of operating power parameters may include one or more multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration operating power parameters, such as an operating power parameter indicating the number of antennas, panels, and / or beams to be used by the UE 120 and / or the base station 110, an operating power parameter indicating the number of MIMO layers to be used by the UE 120 (e.g., for transmission, for reception, etc.), an operating power parameter indicating a maximum number of antennas, panels, beams, layers, and / or rank values ​​to be used by the UE 120, an operating power parameter indicating whether the UE 120 is to process or report measurement results of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) regardless of whether a periodic CSI-RS is configured for the UE 120 (e.g., during Figure 3 Shown as “Periodic CSI”) etc.

[0086] Additionally or alternatively, the set of operating power parameters may include one or more discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration operating power parameters, such as one or more DRX timer values ​​(e.g., an on-duration timer, an inactivity timer, a short cycle timer, etc.) to be used by UE 120, an indication of whether the DRX short cycle is enabled or disabled, etc.

[0087] Additionally or alternatively, the set of operating power parameters may include one or more processing timeline configuration operating power parameters, such as an operating power parameter indicating a minimum time offset to be used by UE 120 for one or more k values ​​(e.g., a k0 value indicating timing between a downlink grant and a corresponding downlink data transmission, a k1 value indicating timing between a downlink data transmission and a corresponding acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgement (NACK) feedback, a k2 value indicating timing between an uplink grant and a corresponding uplink data transmission, k3 indicating timing between an ACK or NACK feedback and a corresponding downlink data retransmission, etc.), an operating power parameter indicating a minimum timing offset to be used for CSI (e.g., timing between a DCI and an aperiodic CSI-RS), etc. For example, an operating power parameter indicating a minimum k0 value (shown as “min k0”) is shown in FIG. Figure 3 Shown in.

[0088] Additionally or alternatively, the set of operating power parameters may include one or more downlink control channel (e.g., PDCCH) configuration operating power parameters, such as an operating power parameter indicating a monitoring opportunity periodicity, an operating power parameter indicating one or more downlink control channel candidate aggregation levels to be monitored by UE 120 (e.g., Figure 3 AL”), an operating power parameter indicating the number of downlink control channel candidates to be monitored for one or more configured aggregation levels (e.g., Figure 3), indicating operating power parameters of one or more control resource sets (CORESETs) to be monitored by UE 120, indicating operating power parameters of one or more search space sets to be monitored by UE 120, indicating operating power parameters of one or more DCI formats to be monitored by UE 120, indicating operating power parameters of one or more cells to which one or more of the above-mentioned downlink control channel configuration operating power parameters will be applied, and so on.

[0089] Additionally or alternatively, the set of operating power parameters may include one or more wake-up signal configuration operating power parameters, such as operating power parameters indicating whether the UE 120 is to monitor and / or process wake-up signals.

[0090] Additionally or alternatively, the set of operating power parameters may include one or more radio resource management (RRM) configuration operating power parameters, such as an operating power parameter indicating a configuration for RRM, an operating power parameter indicating the periodicity of measurement opportunities, and an operating power parameter indicating one or more cells to which one or more of the above-mentioned RRM configuration operating power parameters will be applied.

[0091] By dynamically signaling a set of operating power parameters (e.g., power operating power parameters) and a corresponding set of values ​​for these operating power parameters, the base station 110 can activate different power configurations for the UE 120, which can help quickly reconfigure the UE 120 when conditions associated with the UE 120 change. For example, when a large amount of data is available for the UE 120 (e.g., a threshold amount of data), the UE 120 can be reconfigured to a high-throughput power configuration to improve throughput, and when a small amount of data or no data is available for the UE 120, it can be reconfigured to a low power consumption setting to extend the battery life of the UE 120. In addition, compared to reconfiguring the UE 120 using an RRC message (e.g., which can be a larger message than the DCI and / or MAC-CE), using the DCI (and / or MAC-CE, as described below in conjunction with Figure 4 The above) signaling different power configurations can save battery power of UE 120 and / or can save network resources.

[0092] As pointed out above, Figure 3 are provided as examples. Other examples may be related to Figure 3 Different than described.

[0093] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating an example 400 of dynamic configuration of power operation power parameter values. Figure 4 An example of using MAC-CE to configure power configuration for UE 120 in addition to or instead of using DCI is shown, as described above in conjunction with Figure 3described.

[0094] At 405, in some aspects, a set of operating power parameters (shown as "(s) power-related operating power parameters") and a set of values ​​corresponding to the set of operating power parameters (shown as "(s) values") may be indicated in a MAC-CE. The set of operating power parameters may be indicated using a first indication in the MAC-CE, and the set of values ​​may be indicated using a second indication in the MAC-CE. Additional details may be provided above in conjunction with Figure 3 For example, when a set of operating power parameters and / or a set of values ​​are indicated in a MAC-CE, any of the techniques described above in conjunction with indicating a set of operating power parameters and / or a set of values ​​in a DCI may be applied. This may reduce DCI and / or MAC-CE overhead and may simplify UE processing, which may save battery power for UE 120.

[0095] In some aspects, a first indication of a set of operating power parameters may be included in a MAC-CE, and a second indication of a set of values ​​corresponding to the set of operating power parameters may be indicated in a DCI at 410. This may reduce DCI overhead and provide the ability to flexibly and quickly reconfigure operating power parameter values.

[0096] As pointed out above, Figure 4 are provided as examples. Other examples may be related to Figure 4 Different than described.

[0097] Figure 5 5 is a flow chart of a wireless communication method 500. The method may be performed by a UE (eg, UE 120, apparatus 702 / 702', etc.).

[0098] At 510, the UE may receive a first indication of a set of operating power parameters. For example, the UE (e.g., using antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, controller / processor 280, etc.) may receive a first indication of a set of operating power parameters from a plurality of sets of operating power parameters and a second indication of a set of values ​​for the set of operating power parameters, as described above. For example, the UE may receive information indicating that the UE is to configure a certain subset of possible operating power parameters, and may receive information indicating that the UE is to configure the certain subset of possible operating power parameters with a certain set of values. In some aspects, the UE may receive the first indication and / or the second indication in at least one of a DCI or a MAC-CE.

[0099] In a first aspect, the set of operating power parameters includes an operating power parameter list. In a second aspect, alone or in combination with the first aspect, the set of values ​​is included in at least one of downlink control information (DCI) or a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC-CE). In a third aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first and second aspects, the set of values ​​is indicated using a value vector index included in the DCI or MAC-CE, wherein the value vector index corresponds to the set of values. In a fourth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to third aspects, the value vector index is one of a plurality of value vector indexes, and wherein each different value vector index in the plurality of value vector indexes corresponds to a different set of values ​​in the plurality of sets of values.

[0100] In a fifth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to fourth aspects, the relationship between the multiple value vector indices and the multiple groups of values ​​is predetermined or indicated to the UE in a radio resource control (RRC) message. In a sixth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to fifth aspects, a set of operating power parameters in the multiple groups of operating power parameters includes all operating power parameters contained in all other operating power parameter groups of the multiple groups of operating power parameters. In a seventh aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to sixth aspects, the set of operating power parameters is in a bandwidth part switching message. In an eighth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to seventh aspects, the first indication and the second indication are received in downlink control information (DCI).

[0101] In the ninth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to eighth aspects, the DCI is a UE-specific DCI, a DCI format 0-1, a DCI format 1-1, a packet-common DCI, or a wake-up signal. In the tenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to ninth aspects, a first indication and a second indication are received in a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC-CE). In the eleventh aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to tenth aspects, a first indication is received in a media access control (MAC) control element (CE) (MAC-CE) and a second indication is received in downlink control information.

[0102] In the twelfth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to eleventh aspects, a set of operating power parameters includes at least one of a frequency domain configuration parameter, a time domain configuration parameter, a scheduling configuration parameter, a multiple-input multiple-output configuration parameter, a discontinuous reception configuration parameter, a processing timeline configuration parameter, a downlink control channel configuration parameter, a wake-up signal configuration parameter, a radio resource management configuration parameter, or a combination thereof. In the thirteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to twelfth aspects, a set of parameters includes a parameter indicating whether the UE is to process or report measurements of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) regardless of whether a periodic CSI-RS is configured for the UE. In the fourteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to thirteenth aspects, at least one of the first indication or the second indication is outside the active time of the UE, and at least one of the first indication or the second indication is a physical downlink control channel wake-up signal downlink control information (DCI). In the fifteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to fourteenth aspects, at least one of the first indication or the second indication is during an active period or a wake-up period of the UE, and at least one of the first indication or the second indication is downlink control information (DCI) format 0-1 or DCI format 1-1.

[0103] At 520, the UE may configure the UE to operate using a power configuration based at least in part on the set of values ​​for the set of operating power parameters.
