AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in aligning the starting time of cell-based discontinuous transmission (DTX) and discontinuous reception (DRX) modes between network entities and user equipment (UEs), leading to potential power loss and reduced resource utilization due to mis-detection of group common downlink control information (GC DCI) messages.

Method used

The proposed solution involves configuring a periodic interval with a monitoring window for transmitting GC DCI messages, allowing for coordinated signaling to align the starting time of cell-based discontinuous operations. This configuration includes an initial delay, application delays, and a monitoring window where UEs can expect to receive GC DCI messages, enabling efficient activation or deactivation of discontinuous operation modes.

Benefits of technology

By aligning the starting time of cell-based discontinuous communications, the solution enhances power savings and resource utilization, reduces the likelihood of mis-detecting GC DCI messages, and improves overall network efficiency and reliability.

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for aligning a starting time of a cell-based discontinuous transmission (DTX) and / or discontinuous reception (DRX) mode between a network entity and one or more user equipment (UE) within the serving cell associated with the network entity. The aligning may be accomplished via coordinated signaling. For example, the network may configure a periodic interval for transmitting information related to a discontinuous operation mode in group common downlink control information (GC DCI) messages. In some additional examples, the periodic interval may allow for beam sweeping of the GC DCI messages and efficient cell-based activation or deactivation of the discontinuous operation mode.
