SIGNALING PARAMETERS BASED ON DEVICE POWER CONSUMPTION LEVELSRELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 63 / 616,303 filed December 29, 2023, entitled “SIGNALING PARAMETERS BASED ON DEVICE POWER CONSUMPTION LEVELS,” the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure relates to wireless communications, and more specifically to configuring parameters for the wireless communications.BACKGROUND

[0003] A wireless communications system may include one or multiple network communication devices, such as base stations, which may support wireless communications for one or multiple user communication devices, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE), or other suitable terminology.

Additionally, the wireless communications system may support wireless communications across various radio access technologies including third generation (3G) radio access technology, fourth generation (4G) radio access technology, fifth generation (5G) radio access technology, among other suitable radio access technologies beyond 5G (e.g., sixth generation (6G)).SUMMARY

[0004] An article “a” before an element is unrestricted and understood to refer to “at least one” of those elements or “one or more” of those elements. The terms “a,” “at least one,” “one or more,” and “at least one of one or more” may be interchangeable. As used herein, including in the claims, “or” as used in a list of items (e.g., a list of items prefaced by a phrase such as “at least one of’ or “one or more of’ or “one or both of’) indicates an inclusive list such that, for example, a list of atleast one of A, B, or C means A or B or C or AB or AC or BC or ABC (i.e., A and B and C).

[0027] A wireless device may transmit or receive signaling to or from another wireless device using communication resources, such as time-frequency resources. For example, a UE or other wireless device may exchange signaling with a NE using one or more time-frequency resources. The time-frequency resources may be organized into units, such as a transmission frame. A transmission frame, also referred to as a radio frame or a frame, may span a period of time and may be split into a numerical quantity of shorter time periods, referred to as subframes. A subframe includes an integer numerical quantity of slots, and a slot includes an integer numerical quantity ofsymbols. A slot and a symbol are both a basic unit of time within the frame that are configurable for transmitting or receiving signaling, including data information signaling, control information signaling, among other types of signaling.

[0028] One or more wireless devices (e.g., UEs or other wireless devices) may include components that provide for different capabilities related to power consumption and communication at the wireless device. For example, a wireless device may include one or more components (e.g., antennas, among other components) capable of backscattering techniques, where the component reflects a portion of a radio wave in a direction different than a direction of an incoming radio wave. The reflected portion of the radio wave includes information, such as information related to the wireless device. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device may include an active radio frequency component (e.g., transmitter or receiver) for generating and / or amplifying signaling. In some cases, the wireless device may not include a power source and may instead harvest energy from the incoming radio wave for communication and operation. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device may include an energy storage component for signal amplification of reflected signals and / or for signal generation if the wireless device includes an active radio frequency component. Thus, a wireless device may have different capabilities depending on the components of the wireless device, including a capability to implement backscatter techniques, a capability to harvest energy from an incoming radio wave, a capability to store energy harvested from an incoming radio wave, among others.

[0029] A NE, or other wireless device in communication with the wireless device, may use a fixed (e.g., preconfigured or defined) frame structure and / or may not use a frame structure when transmitting and receiving signaling to and from the wireless device. Failing to use a frame structure or using a fixed frame structure may result in inefficient use of time-frequency resources due to the varying capabilities of different wireless devices. For example, a wireless device may benefit from dynamic configuration of a frame structure due to various factors, including, but not limited to, variations in a communication range of wireless devices, a backscattering capability of wireless devices, an energy storage capability of wireless devices, a signal generation capability of wireless devices with our without an amplifier, reference signal reception criteria due to a receiver architecture of a receiver component of wireless devices, a capability of wireless devices to receiveand decode signaling with various waveforms, a capability of wireless devices to receive and decode signaling with various transmission parameters, or the like.

[0030] As described herein, a NE, or other wireless device, may determine one or more capabilities of a device, such as by determining a power consumption level of the device and / or of a processor of the device satisfies (e.g., is less than) a threshold value. A device with a power consumption level that is less than a threshold value may be referred to as a low power device. Additionally, or alternatively, the NE or other wireless device may determine the capabilities of the device by determining a device type (e.g., a backscattering device, an energy harvesting device, etc.) of the device and / or by determining whether the device includes one or more components (e.g., a receiver type of a receiver of the device, an active radio frequency generation component, an energy storage component, an antenna type of the device, etc.). The NE or other wireless device may transmit signaling to the device configuring one or more parameters for transmitting or receiving additional signaling. The one or more parameters may define a frame structure for the additional signaling. For example, the one or more parameters may include one or more of a signal type of the additional signaling, a symbol length of a payload of the additional signaling, a numerical quantity of bytes of the payload, a numerical quantity of null packets within the additional signaling, a numerical quantity of preambles between data symbols within the additional signaling, an MCS of the additional signaling, a waveform type of the additional signaling, a duration of a preamble of the additional signaling, a periodicity of the additional signaling, whether the additional signaling includes a request for feedback, one or more frequency resources used for the additional signaling, a numerical quantity of repetitions within the additional signaling, a cast type of the payload, or a link quality indicator of the second signaling. The values and / or configuration of the parameters may depend on the capabilities of the device, including whether the device is a low power device and / or the components of the device, which is described in further detail with respect to Figures 2 through 7. The device may transmit or receive the additional signaling using the frame structure defined by the parameters.

[0031] Aspects of the present disclosure are described in the context of a wireless communications system.

[0032] Figure 1 illustrates an example of a wireless communications system 100 in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system 100 may include one ormore NE 102, one or more UE 104, and a core network (CN) 106. The wireless communications system 100 may support various radio access technologies. In some implementations, the wireless communications system 100 may be a 4G network, such as an LTE network or an LTE- Advanced (LTE-A) network. In some other implementations, the wireless communications system 100 may be a new radio (NR) network, such as a 5G network, a 5G-Advanced (5G-A) network, or a 5G ultrawideband (5G-UWB) network. In other implementations, the wireless communications system 100 may be a combination of a 4G network and a 5G network, or other suitable radio access technology including Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802.20. The wireless communications system 100 may support radio access technologies beyond 5G, for example, 6G. Additionally, the wireless communications system 100 may support technologies, such as time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), or code division multiple access (CDMA), etc.

[0033] The one or more NE 102 may be dispersed throughout a geographic region to form the wireless communications system 100. One or more of the NE 102 described herein may be or include or may be referred to as a network node, a base station, a network element, a network function, a network entity, a radio access network (RAN), a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a nextgeneration NodeB (gNB), or other suitable terminology. An NE 102 and a UE 104 may communicate via a communication link, which may be a wireless or wired connection. For example, an NE 102 and a UE 104 may perform wireless communication (e.g., receive signaling, transmit signaling) over a Uu interface.

[0034] An NE 102 may provide a geographic coverage area for which the NE 102 may support services for one or more UEs 104 within the geographic coverage area. For example, an NE 102 and a UE 104 may support wireless communication of signals related to services (e.g., voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, etc.) according to one or multiple radio access technologies. In some implementations, an NE 102 may be moveable, for example, a satellite associated with a non-terrestrial network (NTN). In some implementations, different geographic coverage areas associated with the same or different radio access technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas may be associated with different NE 102.

[0035] The one or more UEs 104 may be dispersed throughout a geographic region of the wireless communications system 100. A UE 104 may include or may be referred to as a remote unit,a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a subscriber device, a transmitter device, a receiver device, or some other suitable terminology. In some implementations, the UE 104 may be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE 104 may be referred to as an internet of things (loT) device, an Internet-of- Everything (loE) device, or machine-type communication (MTC) device, among other examples.

[0036] A UE 104 may be able to support wireless communication directly with other UEs 104 over a communication link. For example, a UE 104 may support wireless communication directly with another UE 104 over a device-to-device (D2D) communication link. In some implementations, such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) deployments, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) deployments, or cellular-V2X deployments, the communication link may be referred to as a sidelink. For example, a UE 104 may support wireless communication directly with another UE 104 over a PC5 interface.

[0037] An NE 102 may support communications with the CN 106, or with another NE 102, or both. For example, an NE 102 may interface with other NE 102 or the CN 106 through one or more backhaul links (e.g., SI, N2, N6, or another network interface). In some implementations, the NE 102 may communicate with each other directly. In some other implementations, the NE 102 may communicate with each other indirectly (e.g., via the CN 106). In some implementations, one or more NE 102 may include subcomponents, such as an access network entity, which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). An ANC may communicate with the one or more UEs 104 through one or more other access network transmission entities, which may be referred to as a radio heads, smart radio heads, or transmission-reception points (TRPs).

[0038] The CN 106 may support user authentication, access authorization, tracking, connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The CN 106 may be an evolved packet core (EPC), or a 5G core (5GC), which may include a control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management functions (AMF)) and a user plane entity that routes packets or interconnects to external networks (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)). In some implementations, the control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management (e.g., data bearers, signal bearers, etc.) for the one or more UEs 104 served by the one or more NE 102 associated with the CN 106.

[0039] The CN 106 may communicate with a packet data network over one or more backhaul links (e.g., via an SI, N2, N6, or another network interface). The packet data network may include an application server. In some implementations, one or more UEs 104 may communicate with the application server. A UE 104 may establish a session (e.g., a protocol data unit (PDU) session, or the like) with the CN 106 via an NE 102. The CN 106 may route traffic (e.g., control information, data, and the like) between the UE 104 and the application server using the established session (e.g., the established PDU session). The PDU session may be an example of a logical connection between the UE 104 and the CN 106 (e.g., one or more network functions of the CN 106).

[0040] In the wireless communications system 100, the NEs 102 and the UEs 104 may use resources of the wireless communications system 100 (e.g., time resources (e.g., symbols, slots, subframes, frames, or the like) or frequency resources (e.g., subcarriers, carriers)) to perform various operations (e.g., wireless communications). In some implementations, the NEs 102 and the UEs 104 may support different resource structures. For example, the NEs 102 and the UEs 104 may support different frame structures. In some implementations, such as in 4G, the NEs 102 and the UEs 104 may support a single frame structure. In some other implementations, such as in 5G and among other suitable radio access technologies, the NEs 102 and the UEs 104 may support various frame structures (i.e., multiple frame structures). The NEs 102 and the UEs 104 may support various frame structures based on one or more numerologies.

[0041] One or more numerologies may be supported in the wireless communications system 100, and a numerology may include a SCS and a cyclic prefix. A first numerology (e.g., / r=0) may be associated with a first SCS (e.g., 15 kHz) and a normal cyclic prefix. In some implementations, the first numerology (e.g., / r=0) associated with the first SCS (e.g., 15 kHz) may utilize one slot per subframe. A second numerology (e.g., / r=l) may be associated with a second SCS (e.g., 30 kHz) and a normal cyclic prefix. A third numerology (e.g., / r=2) may be associated with a third SCS (e.g., 60 kHz) and a normal cyclic prefix or an extended cyclic prefix. A fourth numerology (e.g., / r=3) may be associated with a fourth SCS (e.g., 120 kHz) and a normal cyclic prefix. A fifth numerology (e.g., / r=4) may be associated with a fifth SCS (e.g., 240 kHz) and a normal cyclic prefix.

[0042] A time interval of a resource (e.g., a communication resource) may be organized according to frames (also referred to as radio frames). Each frame may have a duration, forexample, a 10 millisecond (ms) duration. In some implementations, each frame may include multiple subframes. For example, each frame may include 10 subframes, and each subframe may have a duration, for example, a 1 ms duration. In some implementations, each frame may have the same duration. In some implementations, each subframe of a frame may have the same duration.

[0043] Additionally, or alternatively, a time interval of a resource (e.g., a communication resource) may be organized according to slots. For example, a subframe may include a number (e.g., quantity) of slots. The number of slots in each subframe may also depend on the one or more numerologies supported in the wireless communications system 100. For instance, the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth numerologies (i.e., / r=0, jU=l , / r=2, / r=3, / r=4) associated with respective SCSs of 15 kHz, 30 kHz, 60 kHz, 120 kHz, and 240 kHz may utilize a single slot per subframe, two slots per subframe, four slots per subframe, eight slots per subframe, and 16 slots per subframe, respectively. Each slot may include a number (e.g., quantity) of symbols (e.g., orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols). In some implementations, the number (e.g., quantity) of slots for a subframe may depend on a numerology. For a normal cyclic prefix, a slot may include 14 symbols. For an extended cyclic prefix (e.g., applicable for 60 kHz SCS), a slot may include 12 symbols. The relationship between the number of symbols per slot, the number of slots per subframe, and the number of slots per frame for a normal cyclic prefix and an extended cyclic prefix may depend on a numerology. It should be understood that reference to a first numerology (e.g., / r=0) associated with a first SCS (e.g., 15 kHz) may be used interchangeably between subframes and slots.

[0044] In the wireless communications system 100, an electromagnetic (EM) spectrum may be split, based on frequency or wavelength, into various classes, frequency bands, frequency channels, etc. By way of example, the wireless communications system 100 may support one or multiple operating frequency bands, such as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz - 7.125 GHz), FR2 (24.25 GHz - 52.6 GHz), FR3 (7.125 GHz - 24.25 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz - 114.25 GHz), FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz - 71 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz - 300 GHz). In some implementations, the NEs 102 and the UEs 104 may perform wireless communications over one or more of the operating frequency bands. In some implementations, FR1 may be used by the NEs 102 and the UEs 104, among other equipment or devices for cellular communications traffic (e.g.,control information, data). In some implementations, FR2 may be used by the NEs 102 and the UEs 104, among other equipment or devices for short-range, high data rate capabilities.

[0045] FR1 may be associated with one or multiple numerologies (e.g., at least three numerologies). For example, FR1 may be associated with a first numerology (e.g., / r=0), which includes 15 kHz SCS; a second numerology (e.g., / r=l), which includes 30 kHz SCS; and a third numerology (e.g., / r=2), which includes 60 kHz SCS. FR2 may be associated with one or multiple numerologies (e.g., at least 2 numerologies). For example, FR2 may be associated with a third numerology (e.g., / r=2), which includes 60 kHz SCS; and a fourth numerology (e.g., / r=3), which includes 120 kHz SCS.

[0046] In some cases, a cell may refer to a radio access node in communication with a base station or including a base station. A cell may have a coverage area, which is a geographic area in which the cell may provide wireless connectivity to devices within. Different cells may operate on defined frequencies or frequency bands, referred to as subcarriers. In some examples, a UE 104 may establish a wireless connection with a cell, and subsequently that cell may be referred to as a serving cell of the UE 104.

[0047] A wireless device may transmit or receive signaling to or from another wireless device (e.g., a NE 102 or a UE 104) using communication resources, such as time-frequency resources. The time-frequency resources may be organized into units, such as a transmission frame. A transmission frame, also referred to as a radio frame or a frame, may span a period of time and may be split into a numerical quantity of shorter time periods, referred to as subframes. A NE 102 may dynamically configure the period of time of the transmission frame (e.g., in control signaling, including a downlink control information (DCI) message, a medium access control-control element (MAC-CE), radio resource control (RRC) signaling, or broadcast signaling). A subframe includes an integer numerical quantity of slots, and a slot includes an integer numerical quantity of symbols. A slot and a symbol are both a basic unit of time within the frame that are configurable for transmitting or receiving signaling, including data information signaling and control information signaling, among other types of signaling. In some cases, a NE 102 may allocate one or more slots and symbols in a transmission frame for an uplink transmission from the device to the NE and / or for a downlink transmission from the NE 102 to the device.

[0048] In some examples, the NE 102 may combine multiple signals, or multiple portions of a signal, into a single communication channel, a technique referred to as multiplexing. For example, the NE 102 may multiplex signaling in a time domain for time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques and / or in a frequency domain for frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques. For TDM techniques, a NE 102 may transmit multiple signals or portions of a signal using respective time resources for the signaling and a same frequency resource for the signaling. For FDM techniques, a NE 102 may transmit multiple signals or portions of a signal using respective frequency resources (e.g., different unique radio frequencies that are separated by a bandwidth, referred to as a guard band) for the signaling and a same time resource for the signaling.

[0049] In some examples, the NE 102 and / or another wireless device may transmit and receive transmissions according to one or more transmission parameters that define a frame structure for the transmissions. A transmission may include one or more preambles that include a sequence of preconfigured or defined bits a wireless device may use for frame synchronization and channel estimation. Additionally, or alternatively, the transmission may include one or more reference signals, such as synchronization signals, which a wireless device may use to synchronize timing for a transmission. The transmission may also include a control header including one or more bits indicating the parameters and one or more a data transmissions including respective payloads. The parameters may include a duration of a cyclic prefix. A cyclic prefix may include a repetition of an end of a transmission at a beginning of a transmission period (e.g., a symbol) that provides a guard time to reduce interference between transmissions, such as inter symbol interference (ISI). The parameters may include an MCS that defines how data is modulated and encoded for the transmission. The parameters may include a duration of a reference signal transmission (e.g., a duration or time period allocated for a synchronization signal transmission). The parameters may include a type of a transmission frame, including an indication of whether the payload is system information, a carrier wave transmission, feedback, and / or user data. The parameters may include a symbol length (e.g., in time) of the payload. The parameters may include a numerical quantity of bytes of the payload. The parameters may include whether the transmission frame includes one or more null packets, which are data packets that do not include data. The parameters may include whether a transmission sent in the transmission frame includes additional preambles between data symbols. The parameters may include a waveform used for transmission of the payload. Theparameters may include whether the transmission sent in the transmission frame includes a request for feedback (e.g., hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback). The parameters may include a cast type (e.g., unicast, broadcast, multicast) of the payload and / or a link quality indicator that indicates error in incoming modulation of successfully received packets.

[0050] One or more wireless devices (e.g., UEs 104 or other wireless devices) may include one or more components that provide for different capabilities related to power consumption and communication at the wireless device. For example, a wireless device may include one or more components (e.g., antennas, among other components) capable of backscattering techniques, where a component of the wireless device reflects a portion of a radio wave in a direction different than a direction of an incoming radio wave, which is described in further detail with respect to Figure 2. The reflected portion of the radio wave includes information, such as information related to the wireless device. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device may include an active radio frequency component (e.g., transmitter or receiver) for generating and / or amplifying signaling. For example, the wireless device may include a receiver with a defined receiver type. Different types of receivers may include different components and / or functionality. A receiver may include a heterodyne envelope detector implemented at an intermediate frequency (IF) level. Envelop detection is a demodulation process that extracts a shape that represents the varying amplitude of a modulated signal over time. A heterodyne envelope detector combines an incoming modulated signal with a local oscillator signal to obtain an IF. The IF represents a difference of the frequency of the modulated signal and the frequency of the local oscillator signal. The envelope detector extracts the envelope of the IF signal. In some other examples, a receiver may include a homodyne, or zero IF, envelop detector at the baseband processor. In yet other examples, a receiver may include an OFDM-based sequence or signal with time domain and / or frequency domain correlation.

[0051] In some cases, the wireless device may not include a power source and may instead harvest energy from the incoming radio wave for communication and operation. Additionally, or alternatively, the wireless device may include an energy storage component for signal amplification of reflected signals and / or for signal generation if the wireless device includes an active radio frequency component. Thus, a wireless device may have different capabilities depending on the components of the wireless device, including a capability to implement backscatter techniques, a capability to harvest energy from an incoming radio wave, a capability to store energy harvestedfrom an incoming radio wave, among others. A NE 102, or other wireless device in communication with the wireless device, may use a fixed frame structure and / or may not use a frame structure when transmitting and receiving signaling to and from the wireless device. Failing to use a frame structure or using a fixed frame structure may result in inefficient use of time-frequency resources due to the varying capabilities of different wireless devices. For example, a wireless device may benefit from dynamic configuration of a frame structure (e.g., signaling indicating the parameters) due to various factors, including, but not limited to, variations in a communication range of a wireless device, a backscattering capability of a wireless device, an energy storage capability of a wireless device, a signal generation capability of a wireless device with our without an amplifier, reference signal reception criteria due to a receiver architecture of a receiver component of the wireless device, a capability of a wireless device to receive and decode signaling with various waveforms, a capability of a wireless device to receive and decode signaling with various transmission parameters, or the like.

[0052] In some examples, a NE 102, or other wireless device, may determine one or more capabilities of a device (e.g., a wireless device), such as by determining a power consumption level of the device and / or of a processor of the device is less than a threshold value. A device with a power consumption level that is less than a threshold value may be referred to as a low power device. Additionally, or alternatively, the NE 102 or other wireless device may determine the capabilities of the device by determining a device type (e.g., a backscattering device, an energy harvesting device, etc.) of the device and / or by determining whether the device includes one or more components (e.g., a receiver type of a receiver of the device, an active radio frequency generation component, an energy storage component, an antenna type of the device, etc.). The NE 102 or other wireless device may transmit signaling to the device configuring one or more parameters defining a frame structure for transmitting or receiving additional signaling. For example, the one or more parameters may include one or more of a signal type of the additional signaling, a symbol length of a payload of the additional signaling, a numerical quantity of bytes of the payload, a numerical quantity of null packets within the additional signaling, a numerical quantity of preambles between data symbols within the additional signaling, an MCS of the additional signaling, a waveform type of the additional signaling, a duration of a preamble of the additional signaling, a periodicity of the additional signaling, whether the additional signalingincludes a request for feedback, one or more frequency resources used for the additional signaling, a numerical quantity of repetitions within the additional signaling, a cast type of the payload, or a link quality indicator of the second signaling. The values and / or configuration of the parameters may depend on the capabilities of the device, including whether the device is a low power device and / or the components of the device, which is described in further detail with respect to Figures 2 through 7. The device may transmit or receive the additional signaling using the frame structure defined by the parameters.

[0053] Figure 2 illustrates an example of a wireless communications system 200, in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, the wireless communications system 200 implements aspects of the wireless communications system 100. For example, the wireless communications system 200 includes a device 202, a wireless device 204, and a source device 206, which may be examples of, or implement aspects of, NEs 102 and / or UEs 104 as described with reference to Figure 1. The source device 206 may transmit signaling to a device 202 via a downlink wireless communications link 208, where the source device 206 may be an example of a NE 102 or a UE 104 and the device 202 may be an example of, or implement aspects of, a low power device. In some cases, the source device 206 may transmit signaling to a wireless device 204, which may be an example of, or implement aspects of, a UE 104 via a downlink wireless communications link 208.

[0054] The device 202 may be classified or defined as a low power device if a power consumption level of the device 202 satisfies (e.g., is less than) a threshold value. The device 202 may include a low power processor 210 to reduce the power consumption level of the device 202. A low power processor 210 may be a processor that operates with a power consumption level that satisfies (e.g., is less than) a threshold value. A low power processor 210 and / or the device 202 may have reduced functionality when compared with a processor or other wireless device that operates at a power consumption level that is greater than the threshold values. For example, the low power processor and / or the device 202 may have reduced processing capabilities for decoding and generating signaling, may have reduced transmission and / or reception capabilities (e.g., transmission and / or reception range, among others), reduced energy storage capabilities (e.g., smaller battery), or the like when compared with a processor or wireless device that operates at a power consumption level that is greater than the threshold values.

[0055] In some examples, the device 202 may be an example of an loT device, including, but not limited to, a sensor (e.g., a tag or radio frequency identification (RFID) tag), an actuator, an appliance, or another device capable of connecting to a wireless network. In some examples, the loT devices may be categorized according to a set of components and / or capabilities of the loT devices, where the categories include one or more of an active loT device category, a semi-passive loT device category, and / or a passive loT device category. An active loT device includes a power source and an active radio frequency component, such as a transmitter and / or receiver component 212, for signal generation. The transmitter and / or receiver component 212 may include one or more antennas for transmitting and receiving signaling. A semi-passive loT device may have energy storage capabilities but may not include an active radio frequency component for signal generation. A passive loT device may not have energy storage capabilities or an active radio frequency component. The active loT devices, the semi-passive loT devices, and the passive loT devices may be referred to as ambient loT devices.

[0056] In some cases, the semi-passive loT devices and the passive loT devices may use backscattering techniques and / or energy harvesting for transmitting and / or receiving transmissions 214. In variations, an active loT device may use the transmitter and / or receiver component 212 for transmitting or receiving the transmissions 214 and / or may use backscattering techniques for transmitting and / or receiving the transmissions 214. The semi-passive loT devices may use the stored energy to amplify a signal including the transmissions 214 when using backscattering techniques. Backscattering techniques include receiving signaling from a source (e.g., the source device 206, which may also be referred to as an emitter) and modulating a reflection of the incoming signaling towards a destination (e.g., a wireless device 204). Thus, a device (e.g., the device 202) may not use an active transmitter and / or receiver component 212 for receiving and transmitting signaling, which reduces a power consumption level of the device. For example, if the device 202 implements backscattering techniques, then the device 202 may receive signaling from a source device 206 and may reflect the signaling in a direction towards a destination (e.g., a wireless device 204 and / or back to the source device 206). The device 202 may transmit the signaling to the wireless device 204 via a communications link 216, such as by using a transmitter and / or receiver component 212 and / or by reflecting the signaling using backscattering techniques. The source device 206 may additionally, or alternatively, transmit the transmission 214 directly to the wirelessdevice 204. The communications link 216 may be an example of an uplink communications link if the device 202 transmits the signaling to a NE, a sidelink communication link if the device 202 transmits the signaling to a UE, and / or another type of communications link (e.g., for backscatter communications).

[0057] In some examples, the device 202 may be capable of energy harvesting using energy harvesting techniques. For example, the device 202 may extract energy from transmission waves from a source device 206 to power the device 202. The source device 206 may transmit the signaling using a continuous wave waveform in which the signaling has a constant amplitude and frequency and / or a carrier wave waveform in which the signaling has a periodic variation in amplitude, duration, and position. Signaling transmitted using a continuous wave waveform may be referred to as a continuous wave transmission, while signaling transmitted using a carrier wave waveform may be referred to as a carrier wave transmission. If the device 202 includes an energy storage component, then the device 202 may store the extracted energy for later use (e.g., to amplify a reflection of signal or to generate a new signal).

[0058] Different types of devices 202 may have different communication capabilities (e.g., due to including energy storage components, power sources components, and / or a transmitter and / or receiver component 212). For example, different types of devices 202 may have different communication ranges. A passive loT device may have a communication range of 10 meters, a semi-passive loT device may have a communication range of 50 meters, while an active loT device may have a communication range of 100 to 200 meters. Further, different types of devices 202 may have different receiver types (e.g., architecture). However, a NE, or other wireless device in communication with the device 202, such as the source device 206, may configure a fixed frame structure and / or may not use a frame structure for transmissions 214 to and from wireless devices (e.g., including the device 202), regardless of the variations in capability between wireless devices. Failing to use a frame structure or using a fixed frame structure may result in inefficient use of timefrequency resources due to the varying capabilities of different wireless devices. For example, a device 202 may benefit from dynamic configuration of a frame structure due to various factors, including, but not limited to, variations in communication ranges of wireless devices, a backscattering capability of wireless devices, an energy storage capability of wireless devices, a signal generation capability of wireless devices with our without an amplifier, reference signalreception criteria due to a receiver architecture of a transmitter and / or receiver component 212 of the wireless devices, a capability of wireless devices to receive and decode signaling with various waveforms (e.g., continuous wave transmission, an OFDM waveform with a cyclic prefix, etc.), a capability of wireless devices to receive and decode signaling with various transmission parameters, or the like.

[0059] In some examples, a NE (e.g., a base station) may transmit signaling to the device 202 that configures one or more parameters for a frame structure for one or more transmissions 214 that account for capabilities of the device 202. In some examples, the source device 206 may be the NE and may transmit frame structure parameters 218 to the device 202 in downlink signaling. In some other examples, the source device 206 may be a wireless device in communication with a NE (e.g., a UE) and may receive the frame structure parameters 218 from the NE and transmit the frame structure parameters 218 to the device 202. In some examples, the NE may transmit the frame structure parameters 218 in control signaling, such as system information broadcast signaling. In some other examples, the NE may include the frame structure parameters 218 in a transmission 214, such as in a control header of a transmission 214.

[0060] In some examples, the NE may configure the parameters for a transmission frame that includes synchronization information, system information, a carrier wave or continuous wave transmission, user data, and / or control feedback, among other information. The parameters may be different for passive loT devices, or tags, that support backscattering techniques, semi-passive loT devices that support backscattering techniques with or without a reflection amplifier and have an energy storage component to store harvested energy, and active loT devices that support signal generation with or without an amplifier and energy storage component. The NE may determine a device type of the device 202. For example, the NE may determine whether the device 202 belongs to one of the active loT device category, semi-passive loT device category, or the passive loT device category. The device 202 may transmit signaling reporting the device type and / or the NE may determine the device type independent of the device 202 (e.g., inferred from signaling received from the device 202).

[0061] Different device types may have different capabilities, such as a communication range. Thus, the NE may determine different parameters according to the capabilities. For example, if the device 202 has a relatively small range (e.g., less than a threshold, 10 meters), then the NE mayconfigure a cyclic prefix duration to be less than a threshold value. If the device 202 has a medium range (e.g., greater than the threshold for the small range but less than another threshold for a large range, 50 meters), then the NE may configure a cyclic prefix duration to be greater than a first threshold value and less than a second threshold value that is different than the first threshold value. If the device 202 has a large range (e.g., greater than one or more thresholds, 100 to 200 meters), then the NE may configure a cyclic prefix duration to be greater than one or more threshold values.

[0062] In some examples, the NE may include the cyclic prefix in a downlink command if a transmission 214 to the device 202 includes the downlink command, where a duration of the cyclic prefix is sufficient (e.g., satisfies one or more of the thresholds described above depending on a device type of the device 202) for the device 202 to receive the downlink command. In some other examples, if the transmission 214 to the device 202 includes a continuous wave transmission, then the NE may configure a duration of the cyclic prefix to account for a downlink continuous wave transmission (e.g., from the source device 206) and for a transmission 214 that the device 202 backscatters to the wireless device 204. In some cases, one or more reference signal criteria, such as a length of a reference signal, may be different according to different types of devices. For example, a passive loT device may receive a synchronization signal with a length or duration that satisfies (e.g., is greater than) a threshold value, while a semi-passive loT device and / or active loT device may receive a synchronization signal with a length or duration that is less than the threshold for the passive loT device. The NE may configure the duration of the reference signals (e.g., a synchronization signal transmission) in the frame structure parameters 218.

[0063] In some examples, the NE may multiplex the frame structure (e.g., a transmission frame with the frame structure) using TDM and / or FDM techniques. In some cases, the NE may configure a mapping between a frame structure type and a type of multiplexing technique. For example, the NE may indicate the mapping in a system information broadcast message. A frequency channel that is multiplexed according to FDM techniques (e.g., 120 kilohertz (KHz) channel including the system information broadcast message) may map to a frame structure. The NE may use a different frequency channel to broadcast a transmission frame carrying the transmission 214, where the transmission 214 may include a synchronization frame, system information, among other information. The transmission 214 may be multiplexed according to TDM techniques with a same frequency channel. The system information broadcast message may include a mapping between thefrequency channel (e.g., including a transmission frame number, a transmission periodicity, a transmission frame length of a synchronization frame) and a frame structure. In some examples, the NE may use a different frequency channel for a frame structure that includes a preamble and synchronization information, among other information. The NE may multiplex frame structures including preambles of different durations in different frequency channels. Additionally, or alternatively, the NE may use a different frequency channel for a frame structure that includes user data and feedback. In yet other examples, the NE may use a frequency channel for a downlink frame structure supporting a downlink command and a separate frequency channel to transmit an uplink transmission and / or a backscattered signal to a wireless device 204. The downlink command may be a network triggered command and may include inventory information. In some examples, the receiving device may be referred to as a reader, such as if the device 202 is an RFID tag or other type of tag. For example, the device 202 may be a passive tag.

[0064] The source device 206 may transmit or receive signaling from the wireless device 204, and the source device 206 and / or the wireless device 204 may transmit or receive signaling from the device 202 (e.g., a passive tag). Although the source device 206 is depicted as transmitting the frame structure parameters 218 to the device 202, the wireless device 204 may additionally, or alternatively, transmit the frame structure parameters 218 to the device 202. For example, the source device 206 may transmit the frame structure parameters 218 to the wireless device 204, and the receiving device may transmit the frame structure parameters to the device 202. Thus, the wireless device 204 may be an intermediate node, or relay node, between the source device 206 and the device 202. The source device 206 may be an example of a NE (e.g., a base station) or a UE, while the wireless device 204 may be an example of a NE, a UE, and / or a reader if the device 202 is a tag.

[0065] The network triggered command may provide a frequency channel for the carrier wave reception to the passive tags for backscattering. There may be a preconfigured or defined timing relationship between the network triggered command reception and a transmission of a backscattered signal from tags. In such case, the frame structure of the network triggered command and a carrier wave transmission may be transmitted using TDM techniques. In some other examples, a first node (e.g., where a base station or NE is a reader or the wireless device 204) transmitting the network triggered command may transmit another trigger to a second node such as emitter (e.g., a UE as a source device 206) to start or stop the carrier wave transmission towards thepassive tags (e.g., the device 202). The first node may transmit the configuration for transmission of a carrier wave signal to the second node, such as time and frequency resource configuration, cyclic prefix, subcarrier spacing, periodicity, among other configuration parameters. A NE or base station may transmit the frame structure and / or a UE may transmit the frame structure as an intermediate node. Additionally, or alternatively, the source device 206 may be a UE (e.g., as an emitter) and / or the wireless device 204 may be a UE (e.g., a UE as a reader).

[0066] The NE and / or the device 202 may multiplex different types of transmission frames, which are described in further detail with respect to Figures 3 through 7, using TDM techniques. A type of a transmission frame, a periodicity of the transmission frame, a length of a synchronization frame included in the transmission frame, among other parameters may be predefined or preconfigured at the device 202, and the device 202 may receive a message (e.g., a system information broadcast message) that maps a frequency channel to a frame structure for a transmission 214 including the transmission frame. Thus, the device 202 may receive a message (e.g., a transmission 214) from the source device 206 and / or a NE using a frequency channel and may implicitly determine the one or more parameters for a frame structure according to a mapping between the frequency channel and the frame structure. In other words, the NE and / or the source device 206 may indicate the frame structure parameters 218 to the device 202 by transmitting the transmission 214 using a frequency channel that maps to the frame structure parameters 218. Additionally, or alternatively, the NE and / or the source device 206 may transmit an explicit indication of the frame structure parameters 218. For example, the NE and / or the source device 206 may include the frame structure parameters 218 in control signaling (e.g., a system information broadcast message) and / or as an explicit indication in a portion of a transmission 214 (e.g., in a control header of the transmission 214). The frame structure parameters 218 may include one or more of a type of a transmission frame (e.g., a parameter indicating whether the payload includes system information, feedback, or user data), a symbol length of a payload of the transmission frame, a data payload included in the transmission frame in bytes, a numerical quantity of null packets included in the transmission frame and / or a parameter indicating whether the transmission frame includes null packets, a numerical quantity of additional preamble between data symbols in the transmission frame and / or a parameter indicating whether the transmission frame includes additional preambles between data symbols, an MCS for a data payload of the transmission frame, aparameter indicating whether the transmission frame includes a request for feedback (e.g., HARQ feedback), a parameter indicating whether the transmission frame includes a continuous wave transmission, a frequency channel to be used for the continuous wave transmission, a numerical quantity of repetitions included in the transmission frame, a cast type of the payload of the transmission frame, or a link quality indicator.

[0067] The NE may configure frame structures that include different preamble durations with respective periodicities, which the NE may indicate to the device 202 in control signaling (e.g., a system information broadcast). Thus, the frame structure parameters 218 may include an indication of the preamble duration and / or the respective periodicity for the preamble duration of a transmission frame included in the transmission 214. In some examples, the type of the transmission frame may be one or more of a feedback frame, a user data frame, a system information frame, or any other type of transmission frame. In some cases, a control header of the transmission frame may include one or more bits that indicates the type of the transmission frame. In some examples, the frame structure parameters 218 may indicate a symbol length of a data pay load of the transmission frame, a data payload in bytes, and a numerical quantity of null packets. Depending on the modulation, waveform, payload in bytes, and a symbol length (e.g., duration) may differ. A zerosymbol length may indicate a null packet, which is a packet without data. Additionally, or alternatively, the NE may indicate a null packet and / or that the transmission frame does not carry data using one or more bits (e.g., in the control header of the transmission frame and / or in control signaling).

[0068] In some examples, the NE and / or the source device 206 may insert additional preambles with a symbol duration between the data symbols to improve synchronization and / or link quality measurement at the device 202, which is described in further detail with respect to Figure 4. In some examples, the NE and / or the source device 206 may include a bit in control signaling and / or in the transmission 214 to inform the device 202 of the presence of the additional preamble symbols within the data transmission duration. Additionally, or alternatively, the NE and / or the source device 206 may include one or more bits indicating an index in configured or defined a table or a list, where the index indicates a time domain location of a preamble or preamble durations within the data transmission duration.

[0069] In some examples, the NE and / or the source device 206 may select a waveform for the transmission 214. The NE and / or the source device 206 may indicate the selected waveform in the frame structure parameters 218. The NE and / or the source device 206 may include one or more bits in control signaling and / or in the transmission 214 that explicitly indicate the type of waveform used for the transmission 214. For example, the NE and / or the source device 206 may include the bits that indicate the waveform in an information broadcast signaling message and / or in a control header of the transmission 214. In some cases, the NE and / or the source device 206 may select an MCS for the transmission 214. The NE and / or the source device 206 may indicate the selected MCS in the frame structure parameters 218. The NE and / or the source device 206 may adjust a code rate for the transmission 214 according to channel conditions, such that the MCS may be different for data symbols compared to control symbols. The NE and / or the source device 206 dynamically indicating the MCS may cause a tradeoff between power consumption and a data rate. In some examples, different frame structures may have different MCSs and / or waveforms.

[0070] In some examples, the device 202 may request a physical layer HARQ feedback message of a received transmission 214 (e.g., including command data) in a control frame. Additionally, or alternatively, the device 202 may report a mapping between a link quality indicator and a received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the transmission 214. The NE and / or the source device 206 may use the mapping and / or the feedback information to schedule transmissions 214 to and from the device 202 and / or one or more additional devices 202. In some examples, the frame structure parameters 218 may indicate whether the transmission 214 includes a repetition of the entire frame structure or a repetition of a data portion of a frame structure, which is described in further detail with respect to Figure 7. In some examples, such as for a device 202 that performs backscattering and / or energy harvesting, the frame structure parameters 218 may indicate whether the transmission 214 includes a carrier wave transmission. The NE and / or the source device 206 may transmit the carrier wave transmission in a different frequency channel from other transmissions. In some examples, the device 202 may receive, transmitter, and / or backscatter the transmission 214 (e.g., towards the wireless device 204) using the configured frame structure parameters 218.

[0072] In some examples, a transmission (e.g., a transmission 214, as described with reference to Figure 2) may include one or more different types of signaling.

[0077] In some examples, a transmission (e.g., a transmission 214, as described with reference to Figure 2) may include one or more different types of signaling.

For example, a device may receive a transmission from a source device or from another wireless device (e.g., a reader) that includes a transmission frame with a frame structure defined by configured parameters, including an indication of repetitions of the transmission frame and / or a portion of the transmission frame.

[0081] In some examples, a transmission (e.g., a transmission 214, as described with reference to Figure 2) may include one or more repetitions of a transmission frame and / or of a portion of the transmission frame. For example, a first transmission may include an initial transmission of a transmission frame including a preamble 702, a control header 704, and a data payload 706 and a repetition of the transmission frame including the preamble 702, the control header 704, and the data payload 706 (e.g., the entire transmission frame).

The signaling diagram 800 may illustrate an example of a device 202 that optionally includes a low power processor 210, which may be examples of the corresponding device 202 and the low power processor 210 as described with reference to Figure 2. For example, the device 202 may be an example of an ambient loT device and / or a UE with a processor that operates with a power consumption level that satisfies (e.g., is less than) a threshold value. The signaling diagram 800 also illustrates an example of a source device 206 and a wireless device 204, which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described with reference to Figure 2. For example, the source device 206 may be an example of a NE, a UE, or any other wireless device capable of radio frequency signal generation. The wireless device 204 may be an example of a NE, a UE, and / or a reader. Alternative examples of the following may be implemented, where some processes are performed in a different order than described or are not performed. In some cases, processes may include additional features not mentioned less than, or further processes may be added.

[0084] At 802, a source device 206 and / or a wireless device 204 may select one or more frame structure parameters for communications with the device 202. The frame structure parameters may include at least one of a signal type of the communications, a symbol length of a payload of the communications, a numerical quantity of bytes of the payload, a numerical quantity of null packets included in the communications, a numerical quantity of preambles between data symbols included in the communications, an MCS used for the communications, a waveform type used for the communications, a duration of a preamble included in the communications, a periodicity of the communications, a request for feedback included in the communications, one or more frequency resources used for the communications, a numerical quantity of repetitions included in the communications, a cast type of the payload, or a link quality indicator of the communications. The signal type of the second signaling is based on whether the transmission includes one or more of adata transmission, a feedback message, a downlink command, a downlink transmission, or an uplink transmission.

[0085] At 804, the source device 206 and / or a wireless device 204 may determine a power consumption level of the device 202 satisfies (e.g., is less than) a threshold value. In some examples, the power consumption level of the device 202 may satisfy the threshold value due to a power consumption level of the low power processor 210 satisfying (e.g., being less than) the threshold value. In some other examples, the power consumption level of the device 202 may satisfy the threshold value if the source device 206 and / or a wireless device 204 determines the device 202 is an ambient loT device (e.g., without a power source or with a power source that provides an amount of power below a threshold value).

[0086] In some cases, at 806, the source device 206 and / or a wireless device 204 may optionally determine a receiver type and / or a device type of the device 202. For example, different types of receivers may include different components and / or functionality. A receiver may include a heterodyne envelope detector implemented at an IF level. In some other examples, a receiver may include a homodyne, or zero IF, envelop detector at the baseband processor. In yet other examples, a receiver may include an OFDM-based sequence or signal with time domain and / or frequency domain correlation. The device type may include an active loT device type, a semi-passive loT device type, a passive loT device type, or a UE configured to operate in a low power mode (e.g., using a power consumption level that is less than a threshold value).

[0087] At 808, the source device 206 and / or a wireless device 204 may transmit an indication of the frame structure parameters. For example, the source device 206 and / or a wireless device 204 may transmit an explicit indication of the frame structure parameters in control signaling (e.g., a system information broadcast message) and / or in a control header of a transmission frame. Additionally, or alternatively, the source device 206 and / or a wireless device 204 may preconfigure or define a mapping between the frame structure parameters and a frequency channel at the device 202, and the source device 206 and / or a wireless device 204 may implicitly indicate the frame structure parameters by transmitting signaling using the frequency channel. The parameters may be based on a power consumption level of the device 202 being less than the threshold value. For example, a value of a cyclic prefix duration, a type of the transmission frame, whether the transmission frame includes a feedback request, an MCS of the transmission frame, a waveform ofthe transmission frame, a numerical quantity of repetitions, among other parameters values may be different for different types of devices 202, and for corresponding power consumption levels and / or other capabilities of the devices 202, as described in further detail with respect to Figure 2. In some cases, the source device 206 may select the frame structure parameters and may transmit signaling indicating the frame structure parameters to the wireless device 204. The wireless device 204 may transmit the frame structure parameters to the device 202. In some other cases, the wireless device 204 may select the frame structure parameters and may transmit signaling indicating the frame structure parameters to the source device 206. The source device 206 may transmit the frame structure parameters to the device 202.

[0088] In some examples, the control header of the transmission frame includes one or more bits indicating at least a type of the communications sent at 810. The at least one type of the communications include on or more of system information signaling, feedback information signaling, user data information signaling, or null packet signaling. For example, the bits may indicate that the communications include a null packet, include multiple preambles, an index corresponding to time domain location and a duration of the multiple preambles (e.g., in a list or table), indicate a waveform type of the communications that is based on the type of the communications, an MCS of the communications that is based on the type of the communications, a request for feedback signaling, a repeated portion of the communications, and / or that the communications include a carrier wave transmission.

[0089] At 810, the device 202 may transmit or receive communications according to the one or more parameters. In some examples, the device 202 and / or the source device 206 may multiplex the communications in the time domain and / or the frequency domain. If the communications are multiplexed in the frequency domain, the communication are transmitted using one or more frequency resources selected based on the parameters or a signal type of the communications. The signal type of the communications includes one or more of a data transmission, a feedback message, a downlink command, a downlink transmission, or an uplink transmission. If the communications are multiplexed in the time domain, the communication are transmitted using a frequency resource selected based on the parameters, where the one or more parameters include at least a periodicity of the communications based on a duration of a preamble of the communications. In some examples, the device 202 may receive a transmission from the source device 206 and / or from the wirelessdevice 204 (e.g., an emitter) and may transmit a reflected portion of the transmission to a destination using backscattering techniques. The destination may be the source device 206 and / or the wireless device 204. The transmission may be a carrier wave transmission and / or a continuous wave transmission. In some other examples, the device 202 may receive a transmission from the source device 206 and / or the wireless device 204 without backscattering a portion of the transmission and / or the device 202 may transmit a transmission to the source device 206 and / or the wireless device 204.

[0090] In some cases, the parameters include a duration of a cyclic prefix, which may be based on a receiver type of the receiver of the device 202. In some examples, the communications may include a downlink command with the cyclic prefix. In some other examples, the communications may include a carrier wave downlink transmission, from which the device 202 may transmit a corresponding backscattered uplink transmission. Thus, the downlink transmission and the uplink transmission may include the cyclic prefix.

[0091] In some examples, the parameters include a duration of a synchronization signal transmission, where the communications include the synchronization signal transmission. The duration of the synchronization signal transmission may be based on a receiver type of a receiver of the device 202 and / or a device type of the device 202.
