USER DEVICE, WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD AT THIS DEVICE, AND COMPUTER-READABLE INVARIANT MEDIA

Abstract

The invention relates to methods, systems and devices for wireless communication. In general, the techniques described propose a user equipment (UE) that receives configuration for multiple sleep modes for the sleep state of a secondary cell group (SCG). The UE can receive the configuration and determine to enter SCG sleep mode based on the configuration. The UE can enter sleep mode and communicate with the master cell group (MCG) or the SCG, or both, based on the sleep mode configuration. The UE can perform radio resource management, radio link management, and burst fault detection procedures while in SCG sleep mode. The UE can also perform Layer 1 measurements and reporting, timing configuration procedures, power control procedures, and similar procedures depending on the sleep mode.
