Description

Technical Field

[0001] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications and to techniques and apparatus associated with dynamic user equipment (UE) grouping for low power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) monitoring. Background Art

[0002] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunication services, such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple access technologies capable of supporting 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 promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0003] A wireless network may include one or more network nodes that support communication for wireless communication devices, such as user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. The UE may communicate with the network node via downlink and uplink communications. A "downlink" (or "DL") refers to the communication link from the network node to the UE, and an "uplink" (or "UL") refers to the communication link from the UE to the network node. Some wireless networks may support device-to-device communication, such as via a local link (e.g., a sidelink (SL), a wireless local area network (WLAN) link, and / or a wireless personal area network (WPAN) link, etc.).

[0004] The above-mentioned multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate at a city, country, regional, and / or global level. New Radio (NR) (which may be referred to as 5G) is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by: improving spectrum efficiency; reducing costs; improving services; utilizing new spectrum; and using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink and CP-OFDM and / or single carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink to better integrate with other open standards; as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Some aspects described herein relate to a method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE). The method may include receiving information from a network node that configures a hopping pattern for monitoring for a low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) based at least in part on one or more characteristics associated with the UE. The method may include monitoring, using a low-power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR), for a wake-up signal (WUS) for the LP-WUS based at least in part on the hopping pattern.

The one or more processors may be configured to wake a primary radio from a deep sleep state based at least in part on the LP-WUR detecting the LP-WUS.

[0007] Some aspects described herein relate to a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication by a UE. The set of instructions, when executed by one or more processors of the UE, may cause the UE to receive information from a network node that configures a hopping pattern for monitoring for a LP-WUS based at least in part on one or more characteristics associated with the UE. The set of instructions, when executed by the one or more processors of the UE, may cause the UE to monitor a WUS for the LP-WUS using an LP-WUR based at least in part on the hopping pattern. The set of instructions, when executed by the one or more processors of the UE, may cause the UE to wake a primary radio from a deep sleep state based at least in part on the LP-WUR detecting the LP-WUS.

[0008] Some aspects described herein relate to an apparatus for wireless communication. The apparatus may include means for receiving information from a network node configuring a hopping pattern for monitoring a LP-WUS based at least in part on one or more characteristics associated with the apparatus. The apparatus may include means for monitoring a WUS for the LP-WUS based at least in part on the hopping pattern. The apparatus may include means for waking a primary radio from a deep sleep state based at least in part on detecting the LP-WUS by the means for monitoring.

[0020] Various aspects of the present disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout the present disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the present disclosure disclosed herein, whether independently or in combination with any other aspect of the present disclosure. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein may be used to implement an apparatus or practice method. Furthermore, the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method that is practiced using other structures, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or different from the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the present claims.

[0021] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, or algorithms (collectively, "elements"). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0022] Although various aspects may be described herein using terminology generally associated with 5G or New Radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), various aspects of the present disclosure may be applicable to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT, and / or post-5G (e.g., 6G) RATs.

[0023] Figure 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or elements of a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, etc. The wireless network 100 may include one or more network nodes 110 (shown as network node 110a, network node 110b, network node 110c, and network node 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 entities. The network node 110 is a network node that communicates with the UE 120. As shown in the figure, the network node 110 may include one or more network nodes. For example, the network node 110 may be a converged network node, meaning that the converged network node is configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single radio access network (RAN) node (e.g., within a single device or unit). As another example, the network node 110 may be a disaggregated network node (sometimes referred to as a disaggregated base station), meaning that the network node 110 is configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed between two or more nodes (such as one or more central units (CUs), one or more distributed units (DUs), or one or more radio units (RUs)).

[0024] In some examples, network node 110 is or includes a network node (such as an RU) that communicates with UE 120 via a radio access link. In some examples, network node 110 is or includes a network node (such as a DU) that communicates with other network nodes 110 via a fronthaul link or a midhaul link. In some examples, network node 110 is or includes a network node (such as a CU) that communicates with other network nodes 110 via a midhaul link or communicates with a core network via a backhaul link. In some examples, network node 110 (such as a converged network node 110 or a decomposed network node 110) may include multiple network nodes, such as one or more RUs, one or more CUs, and / or one or more DUs. Network node 110 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, a transmit receive point (TRP), a DU, an RU, a CU, a mobility element of a network, a core network node, a network element, network equipment, a RAN node, or a combination thereof. In some examples, network nodes 110 may be interconnected to each other or to one or more other network nodes 110 in wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network via various types of fronthaul interfaces, midhaul interfaces, and / or backhaul interfaces, such as direct physical connections, air interfaces, or virtual networks.

[0025] In some examples, network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​network node 110 and / or a network node subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used. Network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a macrocell, a picocell, a femtocell, and / or another type of cell. A macrocell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscriptions. A picocell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscriptions. A femtocell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs 120 associated with the femtocell (e.g., UEs 120 in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A network node 110 for a macrocell may be referred to as a macro network node. A network node 110 for a picocell may be referred to as a pico network node. The network node 110 for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto network node or a home network node. Figure 1 In the example shown, network node 110a may be a macro network node for macro cell 102a, network node 110b may be a pico network node for pico cell 102b, and network node 110c may be a femto network node for femto cell 102c. A network node may support one or more (e.g., three) cells. In some examples, the cells may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of ​​the cells may move depending on the location of a mobile network node 110 (e.g., a mobile network node).

[0026] In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to a converged base station, a decomposed base station, an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, a relay node, or one or more components thereof. For example, in some aspects, a "base station" or "network node" may refer to a CU, a DU, a RU, a near real-time (near-RT) RAN intelligent controller (RIC), or a non-real-time (non-RT) RIC, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to a device configured to perform one or more functions, such as those described herein in conjunction with network node 110. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to multiple devices configured to perform one or more functions. For example, in some distributed systems, each of multiple different devices (which may be located in the same geographic location or in different geographic locations) may be configured to perform at least a portion of a function, or to repeatedly perform at least a portion of the function, and the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to any one or more of these different devices. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one or more virtual base stations or one or more virtual base station functions. For example, in some aspects, two or more base station functions may be instantiated on a single device. In some aspects, the term "base station" or "network node" may refer to one of the base station functions but not another base station function. In this way, a single device may include more than one base station.

[0027] The wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is a network node that can receive transmissions of data from an upstream node (e.g., a network node 110 or a UE 120) and deliver transmissions of data to a downstream node (e.g., a UE 120 or a network node 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that can relay transmissions for other UEs 120. Figure 1 In the example shown, a network node 110d (e.g., a relay network node) may communicate with a network node 110a (e.g., a macro network node) and a UE 120d to facilitate communications between the network node 110a and the UE 120d. A network node 110 that relays communications may be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay network node, a relay node, a relay, etc.

[0028] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes different types of network nodes 110, such as macro network nodes, pico network nodes, femto network nodes, relay network nodes, etc. These different types of network nodes 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and / or different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, a macro network node may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 watts to 40 watts), while a pico network node, a femto network node, and a relay network node may have a lower transmit power level (e.g., 0.1 watt to 2 watts).

[0029] The network controller 130 may be coupled to or in communication with a set of network nodes 110 and may provide coordination and control for these network nodes 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network nodes 110 via a backhaul communication link or a midhaul communication link. The network nodes 110 may also communicate directly with each other or indirectly via a wireless backhaul communication link or a wired backhaul communication link. In some aspects, the network controller 130 may be or may include a CU or a core network device.

[0030] UEs 120 may be dispersed throughout wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. UE 120 may include, for example, an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, and / or a subscriber unit. 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 smart watch, 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 global positioning system device, a UE function of a network node, and / or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0031] 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 that can communicate with a network node, another 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 customer premises equipment. The UE 120 may be included within a housing that houses components of the UE 120, such as a processor component and / or a memory component. In some examples, the processor component and the memory component may be coupled together. For example, the processor component (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory component (e.g., memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0032] Generally speaking, any number of wireless networks 100 may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network 100 may support a specific RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency may be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

[0033] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) can communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using network node 110 as an intermediary to communicate with each other). For example, UE 120 can communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocols), and / or mesh networks. In such examples, UE 120 can perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by network node 110.

[0034] The devices of the wireless network 100 can communicate using an electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc. based on frequency or wavelength. For example, the devices of the wireless network 100 can communicate using one or more operating bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz to 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often (interchangeably) referred to as the "sub-6 GHz" band in various documents and articles. A similar naming issue sometimes occurs with respect to FR2, which is often (interchangeably) referred to as the "millimeter wave" band in documents and articles, although it is different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz to 300 GHz) identified as the "millimeter wave" band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

[0035] Frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR research has identified the operating band for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7.125 GHz to 24.25 GHz). The frequency band falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 characteristics and / or FR2 characteristics, thus effectively extending the features of FR1 and / or FR2 to mid-band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation to more than 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz to 71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz to 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz to 300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0036] With the above examples in mind, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that if the term "sub-6 GHz" or the like is used herein, the term may broadly refer to frequencies that may be lower than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Additionally, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that if the term "millimeter wave" or the like is used herein, the term may broadly refer to frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and / or FR5, or may be within the EHF band. It is contemplated that the 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.

[0037] In some aspects, the UE 120 may include a communication manager 140. As described in greater detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may receive information from a network node configuring a hopping pattern for monitoring for a low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) based at least in part on one or more characteristics associated with the UE 120; monitor for a wake-up signal (WUS) for the LP-WUS using a low-power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR) based at least in part on the hopping pattern; and wake up the primary radio from a deep sleep state based at least in part on detecting the LP-WUS by the LP-WUR. Additionally or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0038] As indicated above, Figure 1 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the Figure 1 The examples described are different.

[0039] Figure 22 is a diagram illustrating example 200 of a network node 110 communicating with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The network node 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a through 234t, such as T antennas (T ≥ 1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a through 252r, such as R antennas (R ≥ 1). The network node 110 of example 200 includes one or more radio frequency components, such as antennas 234 and a modem 232. In some examples, the network node 110 may include an interface, a communication component, or another component that facilitates communication with the UE 120 or another network node. Some network nodes 110 may not include radio frequency components, such as one or more CUs or one or more DUs, that facilitate direct communication with the UE 120.

[0040] At network node 110, transmit processor 220 may receive data intended for UE 120 (or a group of UEs 120) from data source 212. Transmit processor 220 may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from UE 120. Network node 110 may process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS selected for UE 120 and may provide data symbols for UE 120. Transmit processor 220 may 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 may generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signals (PSS) or secondary synchronization signals (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, as applicable, and may 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 through 232t). For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of the modem 232. Each modem 232 may process a corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) using a corresponding modulator component to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may also process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or frequency upconvert) the output sample stream using a corresponding modulator component to obtain a downlink signal. The modems 232a through 232t may transmit the set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas) (shown as antennas 234a through 234t).

[0041] At the UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a through 252r) may receive downlink signals from the network node 110 and / or other network nodes 110 and may 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 through 254r). For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of the modem 254. Each modem 254 may use a corresponding demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and / or digitize) the received signal to obtain input samples. Each modem 254 may use the demodulator component to further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from the modem 254, may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols, if applicable, and may provide detected symbols. The receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, may provide decoded data for the UE 120 to a data sink 260, and may provide decoded control information and system information to the controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor may determine, among other things, a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and / or a CQI parameter. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in a housing 284.

[0044] On the uplink, at the UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI) from the controller / processor 280. The transmit processor 264 may generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be pre-decoded by the TX MIMO processor 266, if applicable, further processed by the modem 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to the network node 110. In some examples, the modem 254 of the UE 120 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the UE 120 includes a transceiver.

[0045] At network node 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and / or other UEs may be received by antenna 234, processed by modem 232 (e.g., a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of modem 232), detected 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 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller / processor 240.

[0046] The controller / processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other components in the controller / processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or the like may perform one or more techniques associated with dynamic UE grouping for LP-WUS monitoring, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. Figure 2 Any other component of the may perform or direct e.g. Figure 6 600 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and memory 282 may store data and program codes for network node 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, the one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of network node 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly, or after compilation, conversion, and / or interpretation), may cause the one or more processors, UE 120, and / or network node 110 to perform or direct, for example, Figure 6 The operations of process 600 and / or other processes as described herein. In some examples, executing instructions may include running instructions, converting instructions, compiling instructions, and / or interpreting instructions, etc.

[0047] In some aspects, the UE 120 includes means for receiving information from the network node 110 that configures a hopping pattern for monitoring for a LP-WUS based at least in part on one or more characteristics associated with the UE 120.

[0048] Although Figure 2The blocks in FIG. 2 are illustrated as distinct components, but the functionality described above with respect to these blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functionality described with respect to the transmit processor 264, the receive processor 258, and / or the TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of the controller / processor 280.

[0049] As indicated above, Figure 2 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the Figure 2 The examples described are different.

[0050] The deployment of a communication system (such as a 5G NR system) can be arranged with various components or constituent parts in a variety of ways. In a 5G NR system or network, a network node, a network entity, a mobility element of the network, a RAN node, a core network node, a network element, a base station or network equipment can be implemented in an aggregated architecture or a decomposed architecture. For example, a base station (such as a node B (NB), an evolved NB (eNB), an NR base station, a 5G NB, an access point (AP), a TRP or a cell, etc.) or one or more units (or one or more components) performing base station functionality can be implemented as an aggregated base station (also known as an independent base station or a monolithic base station) or a decomposed base station. A "network entity" or a "network node" may refer to a decomposed base station or one or more units of a decomposed base station (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, one or more RUs or a combination thereof).

[0051] A converged base station (e.g., a converged network node) may be configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single RAN node (e.g., within a single device or unit). A decomposed base station (e.g., a decomposed network node) may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed between two or more units (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, or one or more RUs). In some examples, the CU may be implemented within a network node, and one or more DUs may be co-located with the CU, or alternatively, may be geographically or virtually spread across one or more other network nodes. The DU may be implemented to communicate with one or more RUs. Each of the CU, DU, and RU may also be implemented as a virtual unit, such as a virtual central unit (VCU), a virtual distributed unit (VDU), or a virtual radio unit (VRU), among others.

[0052] Base station type operation or network design may take into account the aggregated nature of base station functionality. For example, a disaggregated base station may be utilized in an IAB network, an open radio access network (O-RAN (such as a network configuration initiated by the O-RAN Alliance)), or a virtualized radio access network (vRAN, also known as a cloud radio access network (C-RAN)) to facilitate scaling of the communication system by separating base station functionality into one or more units that can be deployed separately. A disaggregated base station may include functionality implemented across two or more units at various physical locations, as well as functionality implemented virtually for at least one unit, which may enable flexibility in network design. Each unit of the disaggregated base station may be configured for wired or wireless communication with at least one other unit of the disaggregated base station.

[0053] Figure 3 3 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of a low power wake-up receiver (LP-WUR) and a LP-WUS according to the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the UE may be equipped with a communication system including a main radio (MR) and a LP-WUR to reduce power consumption and achieve low latency. For example, power saving and low latency are often conflicting goals because putting one or more components into a sleep state more frequently to reduce power consumption may also increase latency (for example, because data cannot be sent and / or received when one or more components are in a sleep state). In addition, when the time spent by one or more components in a sleep state is reduced to reduce latency, power consumption may increase. Therefore, as Figure 3 As shown, the UE may be equipped with a LP-WUR, which is a companion receiver that may be used with the MR to reduce power consumption and lower latency.

[0054] For example, in some aspects, the UE may generally use the MR to send and / or receive user data, and the MR may be turned off or operated in a deep sleep state (e.g., a power state associated with one (1) relative power unit, as defined in TR 38.840) unless there is user data to be sent and / or received. Additionally, the LP-WUR may serve as a simple wake-up receiver for the MR (e.g., the LP-WUR does not include a transmitter), and the LP-WUR may be active and monitor the LP-WUS when the MR is turned off or in a deep sleep state. For example, reference numeral 310-1 depicts a first state associated with the MR and the LP-WUR in the absence of user data that the MR needs to receive. In such a case, the MR may be turned off or in a deep sleep state unless there is user data to be sent, and the LP-WUR may actively monitor the LP-WUS (e.g., continuously or periodically in time-separated monitoring opportunities). Additionally, reference numeral 310-2 depicts a second state associated with the MR and the LP-WUR in which there is user data that the MR needs to receive. In such cases, the LP-WUR may receive the LP-WUS (e.g., from a network node) and may provide a trigger to wake up or otherwise activate the MR based on detecting the LP-WUS. Accordingly, the MR may then send and / or receive user data.

[0055] Generally speaking, the LP-WUR can consume very little power (e.g., a target power consumption of less than 100 microwatts (μW) in an active state), which can be achieved using a simple modulation scheme (e.g., on-off keying (OOK)), a narrow bandwidth (e.g., less than 5 MHz), and / or other suitable techniques. In this way, the LP-WUR can be used to reduce the time that the MR spends in the on state and / or avoid unnecessarily waking the MR from an off or deep sleep state when there is no user data to be sent or received, which is often expensive from a power consumption perspective. In addition, because the LP-WUR has very low power consumption, the LP-WUR can be used to frequently or continuously perform LP-WUR monitoring, which can improve latency because the MR can be woken up when there is user data that the MR needs to receive (e.g., the LP-WUR is not affected by the latency and power efficiency trade-offs associated with duty cycle schemes such as discontinuous reception (DRX)). In addition to performing LP-WUS monitoring primarily for paging reception, the LP-WUR can also monitor low-power reference signals (LP-RS) for time and frequency tracking and radio resource management (RRM) measurements. In this way, by monitoring the LP-RS, serving cell and / or neighbor cell monitoring can be offloaded from the MR to the LP-WUR, reducing the frequency of waking up the MR and thereby reducing power consumption.

[0056] In some aspects, as shown at reference numeral 320, one application of the LP-WUR is to monitor the LP-WUS for paging monitoring, which can be used to reduce unnecessary paging reception by the MR. Figure 3 As shown, the LP-WUR may be configured to monitor the LP-WUS according to the WUS monitoring periodicity (e.g., when the MR is off or in a deep sleep state) (e.g., the LP-WUR may monitor the LP-WUS in periodic LP-WUS monitoring opportunities that are separated in time by the WUS monitoring periodicity). Alternatively, although not in Figure 3 , but the LP-WUR may be configured to continuously monitor for the LP-WUS. Generally speaking, the network node may send the LP-WUS to the UE only when there is a paging message that needs to be transmitted to the UE when the UE is in an idle or inactive state (e.g., radio resource control (RRC) idle or RRC inactive state). In such a case, as shown in reference numeral 322, the LP-WUR may receive and detect the LP-WUS, which may trigger the LP-WUR to wake up the MR. For example, as shown in reference numeral 324, the LP-WUS may be a message-based WUS, which may correspond to a packet including a preamble, a payload (e.g., a cell identifier or UE addressing for paging early indication), and a cyclic redundancy code (CRC). Alternatively, in some aspects, the LP-WUS may be a sequence-based WUS, which may include a set of predefined sequences that depend on a cell identifier and / or an identifier associated with the UE. In either case, as shown, the MR may wake up after the MR wake-up time and may then begin monitoring one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) for synchronization with the network node before monitoring and receiving paging messages in subsequent POs. Otherwise, if the LP-WUR does not detect the LP-WUS, the MR may remain in a deep sleep state to save power.

[0057] As indicated above, Figure 3 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the Figure 3 The examples described are different.

[0058] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating an example 400 of UE grouping for mitigating false alarms leading to false MR wakeups according to the present disclosure. Figure 3As described in further detail, a UE may be equipped with an LP-WUR, which is a companion receiver that can be used with a MR to reduce power consumption and reduce latency. However, the performance of the LP-WUR may be susceptible to false alarm events that may cause the MR to be falsely (e.g., erroneously) awakened from a sleep state. For example, in the case where the LP-WUR is associated with a high false alarm rate, the false alarm rate may offset any power saving benefits otherwise provided by the LP-WUR, or may actually result in increased power consumption because the MR typically consumes considerable energy to ramp up and / or down from a deep sleep state.

[0059] Generally speaking, there are two types of false alarms that may cause the LP-WUR to spuriously wake up the MR from a deep sleep state. For example, the first type of false alarm may occur when the LP-WUR incorrectly detects an LP-WUS that was not actually sent by the network node. Alternatively, the second type of false alarm may occur when the network node sends an LP-WUS to one UE and the LP-WUS unnecessarily wakes up the MR on other UEs sharing the same WUS resources. In some cases, the first type of false alarm (e.g., where the LP-WUR incorrectly detects an LP-WUS that was not sent) can be mitigated or otherwise reduced by using physical layer (PHY) techniques such as CRC. Additionally, in some cases, the second type of false alarm (e.g., where an LP-WUS sent to the intended UE incorrectly wakes up other UEs sharing the same resources) can be mitigated or reduced by using UE subgroups to reduce the increase in erroneous paging of other UEs in the same paging occasion (PO). For example, in a wireless network supporting Paging Early Indication (PEI), UEs configured to monitor the same PO may be divided into one or more subgroups based on core network assignment or UE identifier. Additionally or alternatively, in enhanced MTC (eMTC) communications, a group WUS may be used to simultaneously wake up a group of UEs using group WUS resources associated with a time division multiplexing (TDM), frequency division multiplexing (FDM), and / or code division multiplexing (CDM) configuration.

[0060] For example, reference Figure 4 , reference numeral 410 depicts a group WUS configuration comprising four (4) WUS resources associated with TDM and FDM configurations. Figure 4As shown, the WUS resources associated with the TDM and FDM configurations may include multiple WUS resources associated with separate resources in the time domain and / or frequency domain, wherein each WUS resource may be associated with a UE group including one or more UEs. In addition, in the event that a WUS is detected in a WUS resource associated with a UE group including a UE, a gap may be set between the WUS resource and the PO to be monitored by the UE. Alternatively, reference numeral 420 depicts a group WUS configuration including three (3) WUS resources associated with the FDM configuration. As shown Figure 4 As shown, the WUS resources associated with the FDM configuration may include multiple WUS resources that occupy the same resources in the time domain and occupy separate resources in the frequency domain, wherein each WUS resource may be associated with a UE group including one or more UEs. In addition, in a manner similar to the group WUS configuration associated with the TDM and FDM configurations, in the event that a WUS is detected in the monitored WUS resources, a gap may be set between the WUS resources and the PO to be monitored by the UE. Alternatively, reference numeral 430 depicts a group WUS configuration including multiple group WUSs associated with the CDM configuration. Figure 4 As shown, multiple group WUSs may each be associated with a corresponding CDM sequence, and multiple group WUSs may occupy the same resources in the time and frequency domains. In the case of WUS resources with CDM configuration, there may be up to eight (8) UE group WUS sequences per WUS resource.

[0061] Thus, as described herein, a group WUS configuration can be used to reduce false alarms in which the LP-WUS incorrectly wakes up the MR when an LP-WUS intended to wake up one UE unnecessarily wakes up other UEs sharing the same group WUS resources. However, current techniques for determining UE groupings tend to be semi-static and are determined based on core network assignments or UE identifiers. For example, where UE groupings are semi-statically determined based on core network assignments, a subgroup identifier is typically assigned to the UE by an access and mobility management function (AMF) via non-access stratum (NAS) signaling. Alternatively, where UE groupings are determined based on a UE identifier, the UE determines the subgroup identifier using the following formula:

[0062]

[0063] Where N and Ns are parameters used to calculate paging frames and paging occasions, and The same value of indicates UEs sharing the same PO.

[0064] Although eMTC communications currently perform UE subgroup hopping for a group WUS (e.g., changing the group WUS monitored for a WUS in consecutive monitoring occasions), the hopping configuration is typically cell-specific and uses the same hopping offset and periodicity for all UEs. For example, a fixed hopping offset may be used to configure UE subgroup hopping per DRX cycle and / or per paging cycle. Therefore, techniques using semi-static UE subgrouping or cell-specific UE subgroup hopping patterns do not address the UE collision problem (e.g., false alarms where a WUS intended for one UE unnecessarily wakes up other UEs) because, after applying the hopping pattern, two UEs that collide in a particular UE subgroup are still in the same UE subgroup. For example, in a case where two UEs have different traffic arrival rates and different paging probabilities, a first UE with a low paging probability may frequently experience false alarms, resulting in the first UE being woken up based on a WUS sent to another UE in the same subgroup with a high paging probability. Furthermore, even in the case where different UEs in the same UE subgroup have the same paging probability, WUS monitoring is subject to DRX operation, which may result in the paging probability being different for each WUS monitoring opportunity and / or for different DRX periodicities. For example, when extended DRX (eDRX) is configured, a higher paging probability may be assumed for the first idle mode DRX (I-DRX) cycle within a paging time window (PTW), and a lower paging probability may be assumed for each of the remaining I-DRX cycles within the PTW.

[0065] As indicated above, Figure 4 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the Figure 4 The examples described are different.

[0066] Figures 5A to 5C is a diagram illustrating an example 500 associated with dynamic UE grouping for LP-WUS monitoring according to the present disclosure. Figure 5A As shown, example 500 includes communications between a network node (e.g., network node 110) and a UE (e.g., UE 120). In some aspects, the network node and the UE may be included in a wireless network (such as wireless network 100). The network node and the UE may communicate via a wireless access link (which may include an uplink and a downlink). In addition, as described in further detail elsewhere herein, the UE may be equipped with MR and LP-WUR.

[0067] like Figure 5AIn the embodiment of the present invention and as shown by reference numeral 510, a network node may send information and a UE may receive information including information indicating configuration of dynamic UE subgrouping for LP-WUS monitoring using a hopping pattern based on individual UE characteristics. For example, in some aspects, the individual UE characteristics may include UE type (e.g., a category based on one or more UE capabilities, such as eMBB, reduced capability (RedCap), or non-RedCap), UE traffic mode, UE paging probability, LP-WUS monitoring scheme, LP-WUS configuration, etc. For example, UEs with the same or similar paging probability may have the same hopping pattern in terms of hopping interval and offset, so that UEs with the same or similar paging probability are in the same UE subgroup for LP-WUS monitoring. In another example, when duty cycle operation (e.g., DRX) is used for LP-WUS monitoring, UEs in the same UE subgroup may have the same LP-WUS monitoring periodicity and time offset. As described herein, a hopping pattern may generally include an LP-WUS hopping time interval and / or an LP-WUS hopping offset for each UE subgroup, and a UE may dynamically determine a UE subgroup that includes the UE in each LP-WUS monitoring opportunity.

[0068] Therefore, if Figure 5A , and as further shown by reference numeral 520, the UE may monitor the LP-WUS resources based on a hopping pattern using the LP-WUS. For example, the configuration information received by the UE from the network node may include an LP-WUS group set, where the LP-WUS group set includes one or more WUS groups associated with the same WUS resource or different WUS resources. For example, the LP-WUS group set may be provided in an RRC connection release message sent by the network node to the UE when the UE transitions to an RRC inactive state via the MR, or the LP-WUS group set may be provided in system information. In the latter case where the LP-WUS group set may be provided in the system information, the UE may determine the LP-WUS group set associated with the UE based on a paging probability associated with the UE and / or other individual characteristics associated with the UE (e.g., a type associated with the UE, a traffic mode associated with the UE, an LP-WUS monitoring scheme, etc.). In any case, when the hopping mode is enabled, the UE may determine the index associated with the WUS group in the LP-WUS group set configured for the UE and may determine the corresponding LP-WUS resource to monitor for each LP-WUS monitoring opportunity. For example, in some aspects, the UE may use the following formula to determine the index associated with the WUS group to monitor in the current LP-WUS monitoring opportunity:

[0069]

[0070] where i initialis the initial WUS group assignment that may be assigned by the core network or determined by the UE based on the UE identifier, O is the hopping offset in units of the number of WUS groups, P is the hopping interval, and N is the total number of WUS groups in the LP-WUS group set configured by the network node for the UE.

[0071] In some aspects, as described herein, the LP-WUS monitoring scheme may be associated with an inter-resource hopping pattern across multiple WUS resources, or for intra-resource hopping among multiple WUS groups in one WUS resource. Furthermore, where LP-WUS monitoring is performed in conjunction with a DRX cycle, inter-resource hopping may be used between two DRX cycles, and intra-resource hopping may be used within a DRX cycle (e.g., for multiple monitoring opportunities occurring during DRX active time). For example, in Figure 5A , reference numeral 530 depicts an inter-resource hopping pattern across a plurality of WUS resources including a first WUS resource associated with a first set of WUS groups and a second WUS resource associated with a second set of WUS groups. Figure 5A As shown, the UE may perform intra-resource hopping among WUS groups included in a first WUS resource during the active time of a first DRX cycle, and then enter a sleep state for the remainder of the first DRX cycle. It may perform inter-resource hopping between the two DRX cycles, thereby switching from the first WUS resource to the second WUS resource for LP-WUS monitoring in a second DRX cycle. It may then again perform intra-resource hopping among WUS groups included in the second WUS resource during the active time of the second DRX cycle, and then enter a sleep state for the remainder of the second DRX cycle. When using an inter-resource hopping pattern, different WUS resources may have different frequency-domain resource mappings, and switching from one WUS resource to another may require radio frequency (RF) retuning for the LP-WUS. Alternatively, for a continuous monitoring scheme (e.g., compared to a DRX cycle that includes inactive time during which the UE enters a sleep state), the UE may be configured to perform intra-resource hopping, or a hopping interval may be defined in which the UE performs intra-resource hopping within the hopping interval and across different time intervals. For example, reference numeral 540 depicts an intra-resource hopping pattern among multiple WUS groups in the same WUS resource, where the UE continuously monitors the LP-WUS in each LP-WUS monitoring opportunity and hops between different WUS groups in the same WUS resource.

[0072] In some aspects, where an inter-resource hopping pattern is used, the inter-resource hopping pattern may alternate a minimum number of UE groups and maintain the same number of WUS groups per WUS resource before and after hopping. Alternatively, in some aspects, the inter-resource hopping pattern may alternate all UE groups together per WUS resource. For example, referring to Figure 5B , reference numeral 550 depicts an example in which the inter-resource hopping pattern alternates a minimum number of UE groups and maintains the same number of WUS groups per WUS resource before and after the hopping. For example, in a first LP-WUS monitoring opportunity (e.g., associated with time t0), a first WUS resource (shown as resource 1) is monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {2, 3, 4, 5}, and a second WUS resource (shown as resource 0) is monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {0, 1}. As further shown, in a second LP-WUS monitoring opportunity (e.g., associated with time t0+T), the first WUS resource is monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {0, 1, 2, 3}, and the second WUS resource is monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {4, 5}, and in a third LP-WUS monitoring opportunity (e.g., associated with time t0+2T), the first WUS resource is monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {4, 5, 0, 1}, and the second WUS resource is monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {2, 3}. Thus, in this case, the number of WUS group identifiers associated with each WUS resource is maintained in each LP-WUS monitoring opportunity, and the minimum number of UE groups is alternated (or rotated) in consecutive LP-WUS monitoring opportunities. Alternatively, still referring to Figure 5B , reference numeral 560 depicts an example in which the inter-resource hopping pattern alternates all UE groups per WUS resource. For example, in a first LP-WUS monitoring opportunity (e.g., associated with time t0), the first WUS resource is monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {2, 3, 4, 5}, and the second WUS resource (shown as) is monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {0, 1}. However, in a second LP-WUS monitoring opportunity (e.g., associated with time t0+T), the first WUS resource is monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {0, 1}, and the second WUS resource is monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {2, 3, 4, 5}, and in a third LP-WUS monitoring opportunity (e.g., associated with time t0+2T), the first WUS resource is again monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {2, 3, 4, 5}, and the second WUS resource is monitored by UEs associated with WUS group identifiers {0, 1}. Therefore, in this case, the WUS group identifiers are all alternated (or rotated) together among the different WUS resources to be monitored.

[0073] In some aspects, such as Figure 5C As shown, in addition to and / or instead of configuring the hopping pattern based on an absolute single frequency network (SFN), the hopping pattern may be based on a received LP-WUS and an estimated paging probability. For example, in some aspects, the network node may configure the UE with two or more LP-WUS groups, each of the two or more LP-WUS groups may be associated with a different paging probability, and the hopping pattern may be supported by the UE alternating or otherwise switching between different LP-WUS groups. For example, Figure 5C A scenario is illustrated in which a UE is configured with a first LP-WUS group associated with a low paging probability and a second LP-WUS group associated with a high paging probability. Figure 5C As shown, a UE may be initially assigned to one of the LP-WUS groups based on a paging probability associated with the UE, and then the UE may transition to a different LP-WUS group when one or more conditions are met. For example, reference numeral 570 depicts a scenario in which the UE is assigned to an LP-WUS group with a low paging probability (e.g., based on network configuration or after transitioning out of an LP-WUS group with a high paging probability), in which scenario, the transition to the LP-WUS group with a high paging probability may be triggered when the UE does not receive an LP-WUS within a threshold time period, when the UE falsely or incorrectly wakes up the MR a threshold number of times, and / or when the estimated paging probability of the UE meets (e.g., equals or exceeds) a threshold. For example, assuming the paging probability of the UE at time T is P, the paging probabilities of the UE at times 2T and 4T are 1–(1–P), respectively. 2 and 1–(1–P) 4 , where T is counted from the last paging message received by the UE. Additionally or alternatively, reference numeral 580 depicts a scenario in which the UE is assigned to an LP-WUS group with a high paging probability (e.g., based on network configuration or after transitioning out of an LP-WUS group with a low paging probability), in which scenario, when the UE receives a paging message, a transition to the LP-WUS group with a low paging probability may be triggered.

[0074] In some aspects, where a network node configures a UE to perform dynamic UE subgroup hopping to monitor WUS resources for LP-WUS, the hopping mode may be semi-statically enabled or disabled via one or more bits included in a system information block (SIB) (e.g., a cell-specific SIB for enabling or disabling intra-resource hopping and / or inter-resource hopping). Additionally or alternatively, the hopping mode may be dynamically enabled or disabled via one or more bits included in an LP-WUS (e.g., a UE-specific LP-WUS for enabling or disabling only intra-resource hopping). In this manner, UE-specific configuration may allow the network node to dynamically assign different UEs to different WUS groups to minimize the overall number of UE spurious wakeups that occur. For example, in one scenario, a first UE, a second UE, and a third UE may be dynamically assigned to a first WUS group, and a fourth UE and a fifth UE may be dynamically assigned to a second WUS group. In such a case where there is a paging message to the first UE but not to the other UEs, the second and third UEs (in the same WUS group as the first UE) will be mistakenly awakened if WUS resource hopping is not enabled. However, if WUS intra-resource hopping is enabled, the first and second UEs can be moved to the second WUS group, the fourth and fifth UEs can be moved to the first WUS group, and the third UE can remain in the first WUS group. In this case, only the second UE is mistakenly awakened, so the network node can enable hopping (e.g., in LP-WUS) to reduce the total number of UEs that are falsely awakened.
