[0034] As will be readily understood, as generally described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, components of certain example embodiments can be arranged and designed in a wide variety of different configurations. The following is a detailed description of some example embodiments of systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for aligning filter configurations between devices and networks. For example, some example embodiments may involve evaluating the feasibility of using a single Rx chain on segmented in-band blocks in downlink (DL) carrier aggregation (CA), while also considering the impact of undesired transmissions.

[0035] The features, structures, or characteristics of the exemplary embodiments described throughout this specification can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more exemplary embodiments. For example, throughout this specification, the use of the phrases "certain embodiments," "exemplary embodiments," "some embodiments," or other similar language indicates the fact that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "in some embodiments," "exemplary embodiments," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," or other similar language appearing throughout this specification do not necessarily refer to the same set of embodiments, and the described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more exemplary embodiments. Furthermore, the terms "base station," "cell," "node," "gNB," "network," or other similar language throughout this specification are used interchangeably. Additionally, the terms "wide filter configuration" and "narrow filter configuration" can also be referred to as "wide analog filter bandwidth configuration" and "narrow analog filter bandwidth configuration," respectively.

[0036] As used herein, “at least one of the following: ” and “at least one of ” and similar wording, where the list of two or more elements is connected by “and” or “or”, indicates at least any one of the elements, or at least any two or more of the elements, or at least all of the elements.

[0037] Figure 1 An example is shown of the operating frequency bands used by operators to define segmented carriers. For example... Figure 1 As shown, segmented carriers correspond to non-contiguous in-band carrier aggregation (NC IB CA). In Figure 1 In this context, each frequency band has three to four operators, and each band corresponds to a specific spectrum, meaning they have dispersed band blocks (e.g., frequency ranges). The UE is inherently constrained by the need to receive these dispersed blocks because whenever it needs to receive one of multiple blocks, it must enable the entire receive chain, which increases its RX resources. Therefore, it is desirable to explore a possibility where the UE can receive each frequency range, similar to a continuous carrier, despite the gaps between them. Thus, the frequency range is a segmented carrier that requires fewer receiver chains at the UE than in the case of non-contiguous in-band carrier aggregation.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, interference within the gap can cover several channels, and this interference may even originate from more than one other operator. Some information about channel usage can be provided by inter-operator communication / coordination. However, this may not provide any explicit information about transient usage and power levels.

[0039] Figure 2 An example of parameters used in a user equipment (UE) is shown. Reference Figure 2 The UE can monitor the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for the duration of the on-time period within each long Discontinuous Receive (DRX) period. The on-time period can maintain one or more PDCCH opportunities. If the UE is scheduled during the on-time period, an inactive timer can be started. The UE can continue monitoring the PDCCH during the period when the inactive timer is running. If the UE is scheduled while the inactive timer is running, the inactive timer can be restarted. If the UE is configured with both short and long DRX periods, and if the UE has already been scheduled during the on-time period of a long DRX period, the UE can also monitor the on-time period defined by the on-time period of the short DRX period. In some cases, more than one short DRX period can be defined for each long DRX period, and the number of short DRX periods can be part of the configuration.

[0040] Figure 3 An example of PDCCH timing during the DRX-ON period is shown, and Figure 4 An example of scheduling during the DRX-ON period is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the PDCCH can retain downlink control information (DCI), which may or may not be scheduled by the UE for DL ​​and potential uplink (UL) data scheduling. Figure 4 As shown, during scheduling (dRXON period), the UE can start a DRX inactivity timer. If still... Figure 4 As shown, the UE can monitor the PDCCH during the DRX inactivity timer.

[0041] Figure 6 An example of scheduling per cross-carrier (CC) is shown, and Figure 5 An example of scheduling for each CC is shown. For example... Figure 6 As shown, during CC scheduling, the first component carrier (CC1) can be scheduled for both CC1 and the second component carrier (CC2). In some cases, the primary cell (PCell) can always be scheduled on its own channel via the PDCCH. Therefore, if one of the carriers in a segmented carrier pair is a PCell, the PCell can carry the PDCCH. However, in the case of CC scheduling, only one segmented carrier pair will have to carry the PDCCH. Even if there are more carriers besides the segmented carrier pair, the PDCCH can be completely outside the segmented carrier pair. In other cases, the secondary cell (SCell) may be configured to have CC scheduling to other SCells.

[0042] Measurement gaps (MGs) (e.g., interruptions in ongoing data transmission and reception) can occur during CC scheduling in segmented CA operations or when the UE performs necessary measurements on neighboring cells or frequencies. MGs can include, for example, pre-configured MGs (Pre-MGs), concurrent MGs, and network control gaps (NCSGs). When the gNB configures a Measurement Gap Mode (MGP) for the UE to perform measurements on serving (intra-frequency measurement) carriers or non-serving carriers (inter-frequency measurement), measurements with MGs (e.g., Pre-MGs and concurrent MGs) can be performed, such as... Figure 7A shown. Specifically, Figure 7A The types of measurements performed by a UE with gaps are shown.

[0043] MG can be configured by the network based on UE indications regarding the needs of the MG. Gap can be defined as a time window in which the UE is not expected to receive from or transmit to the network, including PDCCH, Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), and reference signals such as Position Reference Signal (PRS) and Sound Reference Signal (SRS).

[0044] MG (Mean Time Gain) can be configured by Radio Resource Configuration (RRC). MG configuration can include MG repetition period, MP (Multi-Level Measurement) length, gap offset, and MG timing advance. The MG length can be as short as 1.5ms or as long as 20ms, and the gap repetition period can be as short as 20ms or as long as 160ms. As an example, if the UE is performing a Layer 3 (L3) measurement based on a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), the SSB burst length can be 5ms, repeating for approximately 20ms. Alternatively, the network can configure a 5.5ms gap to repeat for 80ms to match the fourth consecutive occurrence of that SSB burst. Therefore, the MG must cover the SSBs to be measured in the SSB burst, but it does not necessarily have to cover all available SSBs over time.

[0045] Figure 7B An example of a measurement type performed by a UE with NCSG is shown. NCSG can be considered for UEs with a backup radio frequency (RF) chain that can be used for measurements on a given target carrier. During the measurement window (ML), a UE configured with NCSG can be scheduled in the serving cell to receive DL data or transmit UL data, with scheduling constraints in two short interruption periods before and after the ML covers the SS / PBCH block measurement timing configuration (SMTC) window. The two interruptions can have a visible interruption length (VIL), where the VIL is 1 ms for FR1 and 0.75 ms for FR2.

[0046] Existing signaling associated with the three different gap types can include RRC configuration and response messages. This was introduced in the 3GPP specification. needForGaps Its characteristics. needForGaps Features can be configured during the RRCReconfiguration process, where network transport includes Information Elements (IEs). needForGapsConfigNR The RRCReconfiguration message, needForGapsConfigNR This includes requesting the UE to report gap information. In response, the UE may transmit information including IE. needForGapsInfoNR The RRCReconfigurationComplete message, specifically the needForGapsInfoNR, includes a list of cells within the frequency range for which gaps need to be measured. The UE can indicate which cells are included. gapIndication-r16 The information indicates whether a "gap" or "no gap" is required. This information may also include a list of frequency bands where the gap needs to be measured. In addition... needForGaps In addition, the need for NCSG can be introduced in a similar manner, where the UE indicates the need for an NCSG gap. In the case of NCSG, the UE may include additional information as part of the needForNCSG IE, which needForNCSG IE indicates "Gap", "ncsg", and / or "No Gap - noncsg" Figure 8 An example signal flow diagram supporting gap / NCSG is shown. Specifically, Figure 8 UE Assistance Information (UEI) is shown, which is used to instruct the UE to support the measurement in the absence of gaps and NCSG. At 810, network 805 transmits including needForGapsConfigNR and / or needForGapsNCG-Config NR The IE's RRCReconfiguration message. At 815, UE 800 transmits the RRC reconfigurationComplete message. needForGapsInfoNR and NeedForGapNCG-InfoNR IE. At 820, network 805 transmits an RRCReconfiguration message to UE 800, which includes having preConfiguredInd-r17 and nsclnd-r17 IE GapConfig At position 825, UE 800 transmits the RRCReconfiguration Complete message to network 805.

[0047] As discussed herein, interruptions can occur when a UE must reconfigure its RF HW, for example, due to changes in filter and LO settings used at any given time. Therefore, as described herein, certain example embodiments can provide a way to align the network and the UE by taking into account the UE's ability to dynamically change filter and LO settings during segmented CA operations with respect to scheduling modes. Certain example embodiments can also ensure that when settings change, the network knows when the change occurred and becomes able to mitigate the impact of the interruption. Certain example embodiments can also enable the network to have a level of control over the amount of interruption.

[0048] Figure 9 An example signal flow diagram according to certain example embodiments is shown. Specifically, Figure 9 A scenario is illustrated where the network can determine whether the UE supports dynamic changes in analog filter bandwidth and LO settings in CC scheduling. At 910, UE 900 transmits its UE capabilities, including whether UE 900 supports dynamic analog filter bandwidth switching during CC scheduling and / or during DRX in the radio configuration of segmented CA. In some example embodiments, for any potential parameter range related to dynamic analog filter bandwidth switching, the parameter range could be the proximity of DRX on-time between carriers in a segmented carrier set, or the range of the number of unscheduled PDCCH moments prior to triggering a change (or corresponding timer value). If these values ​​are not given as capabilities, the range can be given directly in the 3GPP specification. Additionally, UE 900 can indicate which switch of analog filter / LO settings might cause an interruption, similar to "needforINterruptions" in measurement gap processing. In some example embodiments, the unit of the parameter range may include timers, time slots, etc.

[0049] At 915, a non-contiguous in-band CA connection is established between UE 900 and gNB 905. That is, the segmented carrier set is now configured. At 920, gNB 905 transmits an RRCReconfiguration message to UE 900. The RRCReconfiguration message may include the configuration of the two CCs for the non-contiguous in-band CA in the segmented carrier band. The RRCReconfiguration message may also include parameters as described above, such as parameters for the number of DRX proximity and / or unscheduled PDCCH timings, and parameters within the supported range of a given UE capability or within the range specified in the 3GPP specification. At 925, UE 900 transmits an RRCReconfigurationComplete message to gNB 905 indicating that RRCReconfiguration is complete. In some example embodiments, the RRCReconfigurationComplete message may also include some of the capabilities described above based on the current RRC configuration. In other example embodiments, the information may be given in a UE auxiliary information message. At point 930, once the RRC reconfiguration is complete, the segmented carrier is configured.

[0050] Figure 10 Another example signal flow diagram according to certain example embodiments is shown. Specifically, Figure 10 The alignment of the number of non-scheduled PDCCH timings that trigger the change is shown, and CC scheduling is illustrated. From 1010 to 1030, scheduling in the PDCCH / DCI from gNB 1005 to UE 1000 does not maintain scheduling for CC2 and is received on CC1 using a wide analog filter configuration. After operations 1010 to 1030, there are five consecutive scheduled messages on CC1, while no scheduling occurs on CC2. Therefore, at 1035, UE 1000 switches from using a wide analog filter configuration to using a narrow analog filter configuration to receive the next scheduled message. An interruption may occur when UE 1000 is reconfigured to use a narrow analog filter configuration. However, since only CC1 can be scheduled, the impact will only be on CC1. Additionally, if other inter-band or intra-band carriers are configured, the interruption may also affect them.

[0051] At positions 1040 and 1045, the scheduling in the PDCCH / DCI from gNB 1005 to UE 1000 does not maintain scheduling for CC2 and is received on CC1 using a narrow analog filter configuration. At position 1050, the scheduling in the PDCCH / DCI does maintain scheduling for CC2 and is received on CC1 using a narrow analog filter configuration. Because the UE is scheduling for both CC2 and potentially CC1, UE 1000 can immediately switch to a wide analog filter configuration, which may or may not cause an outage. However, an outage is known for both UE 1000 and gNB 1005.

[0052] Figure 11 Another example signal flow graph according to certain example embodiments is shown. In particular, Figure 11 This illustrates when DRX is configured and CC scheduling is present. In this example embodiment, the network and UE can align when monitoring whether the PDCCH has a narrow analog filter / LO configuration or a wide analog filter / LO configuration, because a configuration change could lead to an outage if scheduling exists on another segmented carrier. At 1104, an RRCReconfiguration message is transmitted from gNB 1102 to UE 1100. The configuration is given for DRX, and the corresponding added dynamic analog filter / LO switching configuration can be given within UE capabilities, explicitly given, or returned in a reconfiguration completion message or UE assistance information message based on the network-given configuration. In this case, gNB 1102 can use a wide analog filter / LO configuration.

[0053] At points 1106 and 1108, UE 1100 receives PDCCH / DCI from gNB 1102 on CC1 during the DRX-enabled duration of the DRX period, and CC2 is not scheduled. At point 1110, gNB 1102 reconfigures UE 1100 to dynamically switch between using a narrow analog filter and a wide analog filter. According to some example embodiments, gNB 1102 can configure a threshold for the UE to switch to the narrow analog filter. For example, the threshold can be set to three PDCCH's without scheduling CC2.

[0054] At positions 1112 to 1116, UE 1100 uses a wide analog filter covering CC1 and CC2 during the DRX on-time of the DRX period to receive PDCCH / DCI from gNB 1102 on CC1. For example... Figure 11As shown, CC2 was not scheduled between 1112 and 1116. At 1118, gNB 1102 has configured the three PDCCH non-scheduling times of CC2 to a threshold for UE 1100 to switch from a wide analog filter to a narrow analog filter (e.g., the threshold for three PDCCHs for which CC2 scheduling has not yet been satisfied). Therefore, UE 1100 switches to using a narrow analog filter to monitor the DRX on duration of CC1.

[0055] At 1120 and 1122, UE 1100 uses a narrow analog filter covering CC1 and CC2 during the DRX on-duration of the DRX period to receive PDCCH / DCI on CC1 from gNB 1102. In these example embodiments, CC2 is not scheduled at 1120 and 1122. At 1124, UE 1000 uses a narrow analog filter covering CC1 and CC2 during the DRX on-duration of the DRX period to receive PDCCH / DCI on CC1 from gNB 1102. In this example embodiment, CC1 and CC2 are scheduled, so UE 1100 switches to use a wide analog filter to receive both CC1 and CC2. In some example embodiments, the switch to a wide analog filter may trigger an interruption. According to some example embodiments, analog filter and LO settings can be configured to resolve interruptions. However, in other example embodiments, other components can be reconfigured from an interruption perspective, such as switches.

[0056] Figure 12A Another example signal flow diagram according to certain example embodiments is shown, and Figure 12B The illustration shows some example embodiments. Figure 12A The continuation of the signal flow graph in the diagram. Specifically, Figure 12A and Figure 12B This illustrates a scenario where DRX is configured individually for each carrier in a segmented carrier pair. In this case, the network and UE can be aligned when an outage is anticipated. For example, it's possible that for any PDCCH event, the UE must apply a wide analog filter to ensure that an outage does not occur due to listening to the PDCCH on one carrier versus being active on another. If the UE is allowed to change the analog filter configuration individually for each carrier while listening to the PDCCH, there can also be alignment regarding what proximity should be defined.

[0057] like Figure 12A and Figure 12BAs shown, at 1204, an RRCReconfiguration message is transmitted from gNB 1202 to UE 1200. Given a configuration for DRX, the corresponding added dynamic analog filter / LO handover configuration is given within UE capabilities, explicitly given, or returned in a reconfiguration completion message or UE assistance information message based on the configuration given by gNB 1200. In this example embodiment, UE 1200 can use a wide analog filter / LO configuration.

[0058] At positions 1206 and 1210, UE 1200 receives PDCCH / DCI from gNB 1202 on CC1 for the DRX-enabled duration of a DRX period with a wide analog filter configuration. In these example embodiments, CC1 is not scheduled. At positions 1208 and 1212, UE 1200 receives PDCCH / DCI from gNB 1202 on CC2 for the DRX-enabled duration of a DRX period with a wide analog filter configuration. In these example embodiments, CC2 is not scheduled.

[0059] At 1214, gNB 1202 reconfigures UE 1200 to dynamically switch between using a narrow analog filter and a wide analog filter. According to some example embodiments, gNB 1202 can set a threshold for UE 1200 to switch to using the narrow analog filter. For example, in some example embodiments, the threshold can be set to three PDCCHs in the absence of scheduling for CC2. According to some example embodiments, the configuration can also specify that neither CC1 nor CC2 can be scheduled for the change to occur. However, in this example embodiment, the trigger can only be used for non-scheduling of CC2.

[0060] At 1216, UE 1200 receives PDCCH / DCI on CC1 from gNB 1202 during the DRX on-duration of the DRX period using a wide analog filter covering CC1 and CC2. In this example embodiment, CC2 is not scheduled. At 1218, UE 1200 receives DCCH / DCI on CC2 from gNB 1202 during the DRX on-duration of the DRX period using a wide analog filter covering CC1 and CC2.

In this example embodiment, CC1 is scheduled.

[0061] At 1222, UE 1200 exchanges data with gNB 1202 on CC1. In some example embodiments, the exchange duration between UE 1200 and gNB 1202 may be shorter than one DRX cycle. At 1224 and 1228, UE 1200 receives PDCCH / DCI on CC2 from gNB 1202 during the DRX-on duration of the DRX period with a wide analog filter configuration, thus covering CC1 and CC2. In these example embodiments, CC2 is not scheduled. At 1226, UE 1200 receives PDCCH / DCI on CC1 from gNB 1202 using a wide analog filter covering CC1 and CC2 during the DRX-on duration of the DRX period. In this example embodiment, CC1 is not scheduled.

[0062] At 1230, since UE 1200 has now received three consecutive unscheduled PDCCHs on CC2, the device switches to using a narrow analog filter for receiving either CC1 or CC2 when not scheduled. At 1232 and 1236, UE 1200 uses a narrow analog filter covering CC1 for the DRX-on duration of the DRX period to receive PDCCH / DCI on CC1 from gNB 1202. In these example embodiments, CC1 is not scheduled. At 1234, UE 1200 uses a narrow analog filter covering CC2 for the DRX-on duration of the DRX period to receive PDCCH / DCI on CC2 from gNB 1202. In this example embodiment, CC2 is not scheduled. At 1238, UE 1200 uses a narrow analog filter covering CC2 for the DRX-on duration of the DRX period to receive PDCCH / DCI on CC2 from gNB 1202. In this example embodiment, CC2 is scheduled, and UE 1200 switches to use a wide analog filter for subsequent PDSCH switching. In some example embodiments, switching to a wide analog filter configuration may cause an outage.

Figure 13A The continuation of the signal flow graph in [the context]. Specifically, Figure 13A and Figure 13B This illustrates a scenario with a specific number of unscheduled PDCCHs on each carrier in DRX, triggering the UE to use a narrow analog filter configuration instead of a wide analog filter configuration for future PDCCH timings, regardless of which carrier is monitored. Figure 13A and Figure 13BAs shown, at 1304, an RRCReconfiguration message is transmitted from gNB 1302 to UE 1300. Given the DRX configuration, the corresponding added dynamic analog filter / LO switching configuration is given within the UE's capabilities, explicitly given, or based on the configuration given by gNB 1200, and is returned in a reconfiguration completion message or UE assistance information message. In this example embodiment, gNB 1202 can use a wide analog filter / LO configuration.

In these example embodiments, CC2 is not scheduled.

[0067] At 1334, since UE 1300 has now received three consecutive unscheduled PDCCHs on CC1, the device switches to using a narrow analog filter configuration for receiving CC1, but continues to use a wide analog filter for receiving CC2. At 1336, 1340, and 1344, UE 1300 receives PDCCH / DCI from gNB 1302 on CC2 for the DRX-enabled duration of the DRX period with the wide analog filter configuration.

In these example embodiments, CC1 is not scheduled.

[0068] At 1346, since the UE has now received five consecutive unscheduled PDCCHs on CC2, the device switches to using a narrow analog filter configuration for receiving CC2 and continues to use a narrow analog filter configuration for receiving CC1, as CC1 is still not scheduled. At 1348 and 1352, UE 1300 receives PDCCH / DCI on CC1 from gNB 1302 for the DRX-enabled duration of the DRX period with narrow analog filter configuration.
