[0059] Some wireless communications systems may support communication (e.g., transmission and / or reception) of low-power signals, such as low-power wake up signals (LP-WUS), to support UE power savings. For example, rather than monitoring for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) via a main radio (MR), a user equipment (UE) may monitor for a LP-WUS via a low-power wake up receiver (LP-WUR) and, once the LP-WUS is received, the UE may activate the MR to monitor for the PDCCH. In such cases, the LP-WUR may be associated with relatively lower power consumption than the MR, such that monitoring for the LP-WUS via the LP-WUR and then for the PDCCH via the MR after the LP-WUS is received (e.g., rather than only monitoring for the PDCCH via the MR) may reduce power consumption at the UE.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO13

[0060] In some wireless communications systems, a UE may support LP-WUS-triggered PDCCEI monitoring with a connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) configuration. In such cases, the UE may support multiple LP-WUS- monitoring techniques with the C-DRX configuration. For example, a first LP-WUS monitoring technique (e.g., which may be referred to as Option 1-1) may be associated with monitoring for a PDCCH during an active duration of a C-DRX cycle based on reception of an LP-WUS. That is, the UE may monitor for an LP-WUS using the LP-WUR at least a threshold duration prior to an active duration of the C- DRX cycle and. if the UE receives an LP-WUS within the threshold duration, the UE may monitor for a PDCCH during the active duration using the MR. If the UE does not receive an LP-WUS at least the threshold duration prior to the active duration, the UE may refrain from monitoring for the PDCCH during the active duration (e.g., may not wake up the MR during the active duration). Monitoring for the PDCCH in accordance with the first LP-WUS monitoring technique may enable the UE to achieve additional power savings (e.g., in addition to power savings associated with the C-DRX configuration) by refraining from monitoring for the PDCCH during an active duration of a C-DRX cycle when the UE has not received a LP-WUS at least the threshold duration prior to the active duration. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may support a second LP-WUS monitoring technique (e.g., which may be referred to as Option 1-2) associated with monitoring for a PDCCH during an inactive duration of a C-DRX cycle based on reception of an LP-WUS. That is, during the inactive duration of the C-DRX cycle, the UE may monitor for one or more LP-WUS s using the LP-WUR and, if the UE receives an LP-WUS, the UE may monitor for the PDCCH during the inactive duration of the C-DRX cycle using the MR. Monitoring for the PDCCH in accordance with the second LP-WUS monitoring technique may enable the UE to achieve decreased latency (e g., as compared to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique, as compared to PDCCH monitoring without LP-WUSs) by enabling the UE to receive the PDCCH during an inactive duration of a C-DRX cycle (e.g., rather than only during the active duration).

[0061] In some examples, the UE may switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique due to one or more performance thresholds (e.g., latency requirements), among other reasons. However, a configuration of respective LP-WUS monitoring occasions (MOs) associated with eachAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO14LP-WUS monitoring technique may be different, such that switching between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring may result in increased latency and signaling overhead due to reconfiguration of the UE (e g., via radio resource control (RRC) signaling) based on the switch. For example, the UE may monitor for LP-WUSs in accordance with an LP-WUS configuration, where the LP-WUS configuration is based on a set of parameters associated with LP-WUS MOs. However, the first LP-WUS monitoring technique may be associated with a first set of values of the set of parameters and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique may be associated with a second set of values of the set of parameters. Thus, to switch from monitoring for one or more LP-WUSs in accordance with the first LP-WUS monitoring technique to monitoring for one or more LP-WUSs in accordance with the second LP-WUS monitoring technique, the UE may receive control signaling indicative of the second set of values of the set of parameters. The UE may thus reconfigure the LP-WUS configuration in accordance with the second set of values of the set of parameters. Similarly, to switch from monitoring for one or more LP-WUSs in accordance with the second LP-WUS monitoring technique to monitoring for one or more LP-WUSs in accordance with the first LP-WUS monitoring technique, the UE may receive control signaling indicative of the first set of values of the set of parameters, and the UE may reconfigure the LP-WUS configuration in accordance with the first set of values of the set of parameters. In either case, reception of the control signaling indicative of a respective set of values of the set of parameters may result in increased signaling overhead, and reconfiguration of the LP-WUS configuration in accordance with the respective set of values of the set of parameters may result in increased latency. That is, the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique having separate configurations of LP-WUS MOs and having to switch between the separate configurations may result in signaling overhead and an inefficient use of communications resources.

[0062] Accordingly, techniques described herein may support the efficient configuration of one or more parameters applicable to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique to enable the UE to efficiently switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. That is, the described techniques support the indication of one orAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO15more parameters that are applicable to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. Additionally, or alternatively, the one or more parameters may be applicable to both the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. According to one example, the UE may support both the first LP-WUS monitoring technique in which the UE monitors for one or more first LP-WUSs prior to an active duration of a C-DRX cycle, and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique in which the UE monitors for one or more second LP-WUSs during an inactive duration of the C-DRX cycle. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may receive a single RRC information element (IE) indicating the one or more parameters used by the UE to determine one or more LP-WUS MOs. Because the one or more parameters are applicable to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique, the UE may use the one or more LP-WUSs MOs to monitor for the one or more first LP-WUSs according to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and to monitor for the one or more second LP-WUSs according to the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. In such cases, the one or more parameters may include a slot periodicity' and offset associated with the one or more LP-WUS MOs. an offset associated with the one or more first LP-WUSs and the one or more second LP-WUSs, a duration associated with the one or more LP-WUS MOs, or any combination thereof. Additionally, in some cases, the first control message may include a variable indicating whether the UE is to monitor for the one or more first LP-WUSs according to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique or to monitor for the one or more second LP-WUSs according to the second LP-WUS monitoring technique.

[0063] The UE may receive a second control message, such as the MAC-CE command, indicative of a switch regarding one or more activated LP-WUS monitoring techniques. That is, the second control message may include a field indicating that the first type of LP-WUS monitoring technique is activated, the second ty pe of LP-WUS monitoring technique is activated, both the first type and the second type are activated, or both the first type and the second type are de-activated. For example, the UE may monitor for the one or more first LP-WUSs according to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and may receive the second control message indicating that the second ty pe of LP-WUS monitoring technique is activated (e.g., a switch from the first LP-WUS monitoring technique to the second LP-WUS monitoring technique), both the first typeAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO16and the second type are activated (e.g., a switch from the first LP-WUS monitoring technique to both the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique), or both the first type and the second ty pe are deactivated (e.g., a switch from the first LP-WUS monitoring technique to neither the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique). After receiving the second control message, the UE may monitor for a LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH in accordance with the switch. That is, the UE may activate, deactivate, or both, one or more LP-WUS monitoring techniques in accordance with the second control message.

[0064] Enabling the UE to dynamically switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique in accordance with the one or more parameters may enable the UE to switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique without performing a reconfiguration procedure at the UE. For example, rather than relying on separate signaling that reconfigures LP-WUS MOs based on the switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique, the UE may instead adjust which LP-WUS MOs are monitored based on the switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. For example, as described herein, the UE may determine a set of LP-WUS MOs based on the one or more parameters applicable to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. The UE may monitor for the one or more first LP-WUSs during one or more first LP-WUS MOs, from the set of LP-WUS MOs, according to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique, where the one or more first LP-WUS MOs are prior to an active duration of a C-DRX cycle. Further, the UE may monitor for the one or more second LP-WUSs during one or more second LP-WUS MOs, from the set of LP-WUS MOs, according to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique, where the one or more second LP-WUS MOs are during an inactive duration of the C-DRX cycle. As such, to switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique, the UE may switch between monitoring for LP-WUSs during the one or more first LP-WUS MOs and the one or more second LP-WUS MOs, where the one or more first LP-WUS MOs and the one or more second LP-WUS MOs are part of the set of LP-WUS MOs determined based on the one or more parameters applicable to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique andAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO17the second LP-WUS monitoring technique (e.g., one or more parameters applicable to both the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique).

[0065] Additionally, switching between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique without performing the reconfiguration procedure may enable the UE to dynamically adjust a frequency of LP-WUS monitoring (e.g., and thus PDCCH monitoring) in accordance with one or more communication scenarios. For example, in some cases, a quantity of traffic to be communicated to the UE may exceed a threshold, the traffic may be associated with a threshold latency, or both, such that the UE may switch to monitoring for the one or more LP-WUS in accordance with the second LP-WUS monitoring techniques (e.g., more frequently than the first LP-WUS monitoring technique) to enable the UE to receive PDCCH during the inactive duration. Conversely, the UE may be associated with a power level below a threshold power (e.g., may have low power), such that the UE may switch to monitoring for the one or more LP-WUS in accordance with the first LP-WUS monitoring techniques (e.g., less frequently than the second LP-WUS monitoring technique) to enable the UE to refrain from monitoring for the one or more LP-WUSs during the inactive duration, thus reducing power consumption.

[0066] Aspects of the disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communications systems. Aspects of the disclosure are the described in the context of timing diagrams and a process flow. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts that relate to techniques for switching between downlink control channel monitoring during or outside of an active duration of a C-DRX cycle.

[0067] FIG. 1 shows an example of a wireless communications system 100 that supports techniques for switching between downlink control channel monitoring using wake-up signals and DRX in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system 100 may include one or more devices, such as one or more network devices (e.g., network entities 105), one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communications system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, a New Radio (NR) network, or a network operating in Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO18accordance with other systems and radio technologies, including future systems and radio technologies not explicitly mentioned herein.

[0068] The network entities 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communications system 100 and may include devices in different forms or having different capabilities. In various examples, a network entity 105 may be referred to as a network element, a mobility element, a radio access network (RAN) node, or network equipment, among other nomenclature. In some examples, network entities 105 and UEs 115 may wirelessly communicate via communication link(s) 125 (e.g., a radio frequency (RF) access link). For example, a network entity 105 may support a coverage area 110 (e.g., a geographic coverage area) over which the UEs 115 and the network entity 105 may establish the communication link(s) 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which a network entity 105 and a UE 115 may support the communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies (RATs).

[0069] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout a coverage area 110 of the wireless communications system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary, or mobile, or both at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. Some example UEs 115 are illustrated in FIG. 1. The UEs 115 described herein may be capable of supporting communications with various types of devices in the wireless communications system 100 (e.g., other wireless communication devices, including UEs 115 or network entities 105), as shown in FIG. 1.

[0070] As described herein, a node, which may be referred to as a node, a network node, a network entity, or a wireless node, may be a base station (e.g., any base station described herein), a UE (e.g., any UE described herein), a network controller, an apparatus, a device, a computing system, one or more components, and / or another suitable processing entity configured to perform any of the techniques described herein. For example, a network node may be a UE. As another example, a netw ork node may be a base station. As another example, a first network node may be configured to communicate with a second network node or a third network node. In one aspect of this example, the first netw ork node may be a UE, the second network node may be a base station, and the third network node may be a UE. In another aspect of this example, the first network node may be a UE. the second network node may be a base station, and Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO19the third network node may be a base station. In yet other aspects of this example, the first, second, and third network nodes may be different relative to these examples. Similarly, reference to a UE, base station, apparatus, device, computing system, or the like may include disclosure of the UE. base station, apparatus, device, computing system, or the like being a network node. For example, disclosure that a UE is configured to receive information from a base station also discloses that a first network node is configured to receive information from a second network node. Consistent with this disclosure, once a specific example is broadened in accordance with this disclosure (e.g., a UE is configured to receive information from a base station also discloses that a first network node is configured to receive information from a second network node), the broader example of the narrower example may be interpreted in the reverse, but in a broad open-ended way. In the example above where a UE being configured to receive information from a base station also discloses that a first network node being configured to receive information from a second network node, the first network node may refer to a first UE, a first base station, a first apparatus, a first device, a first computing system, a first one or more components, a first processing entity, or the like configured to receive the information; and the second network node may refer to a second UE, a second base station, a second apparatus, a second device, a second computing system, a second one or more components, a second processing entity, or the like.

[0071] As described herein, communication of information (e.g., any information, signal, or the like) may be described in various aspects using different terminology. Disclosure of one communication term includes disclosure of other communication terms. For example, a first network node may be described as being configured to transmit information to a second network node. In this example and consistent with this disclosure, disclosure that the first network node is configured to transmit information to the second network node includes disclosure that the first network node is configured to provide, send, output, communicate, or transmit information to the second network node. Similarly, in this example and consistent with this disclosure, disclosure that the first network node is configured to transmit information to the second network node includes disclosure that the second network node is configured to receive, obtain, or decode the information that is provided, sent, output, communicated, or transmitted by the first network node.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO20

[0072] In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with a core network 130, or with one another, or both. For example, network entities 105 may communicate with the core network 130 via backhaul communication link(s) 120 (e.g., in accordance with an SI, N2, N3, or other interface protocol). In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with one another via backhaul communication link(s) 120 (e.g., in accordance with an X2, Xn, or other interface protocol) either directly (e.g., directly between network entities 105) or indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130). In some examples, network entities 105 may communicate with one another via a midhaul communication link 162 (e.g., in accordance with a midhaul interface protocol) or a fronthaul communication link 168 (e g., in accordance with a fronthaul interface protocol), or any combination thereof. The backhaul communication link(s) 120, midhaul communication links 162, or fronthaul communication links 168 may be or include one or more wired links (e.g.. an electrical link, an optical fiber link) or one or more wireless links (e.g., a radio link, a wireless optical link), among other examples or various combinations thereof. A UE 115 may communicate with the core network 130 via a communication link 155.

[0073] One or more of the network entities 105 or network equipment described herein may include or may be referred to as a base station 140 (e.g., a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an NR base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a next-generation NodeB or giga-NodeB (either of which may be referred to as a gNB), a 5G NB, a next-generation eNB (ng-eNB), a Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, or other suitable terminology). In some examples, a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may be implemented in an aggregated (e.g., monolithic, standalone) base station architecture, which may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within one network entity7(e.g., a network entity 105 or a single RAN node, such as a base station 140).

[0074] In some examples, a network entity7105 may be implemented in a disaggregated architecture (e.g., a disaggregated base station architecture, a disaggregated RAN architecture), which may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed among multiple network entities (e.g., network entities 105), such as an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network, an open RAN (O-RAN) (e.g.. a network configuration sponsored by the O-RAN Alliance), or aAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO21virtualized RAN (vRAN) (e.g., a cloud RAN (C-RAN)). For example, a network entity 105 may include one or more of a central unit (CU), such as a CU 160, a distributed unit (DU), such as a DU 165, a radio unit (RU), such as an RU 170, a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC), such as an RIC 175 (e.g., a Near-Real Time RIC (Near-RT RIC). a Non-Real Time RIC (Non-RT RIC)), a Service Management and Orchestration (SMO) system, such as an SMO system 180, or any combination thereof. An RU 170 may also be referred to as a radio head, a smart radio head, a remote radio head (RRH), a remote radio unit (RRU), or a transmission reception point (TRP). One or more components of the network entities 105 in a disaggregated RAN architecture may be co-located, or one or more components of the network entities 105 may be located in distributed locations (e.g., separate physical locations). In some examples, one or more of the network entities 105 of a disaggregated RAN architecture may be implemented as virtual units (e.g., a virtual CU (VCU), a virtual DU (VDU), a virtual RU (VRU)).

[0075] The split of functionality between a CU 160, a DU 165, and an RU 170 is flexible and may support different functionalities depending on which functions (e.g., network layer functions, protocol layer functions, baseband functions, RF functions, or any combinations thereof) are performed at a CU 160, a DU 165, or an RU 170. For example, a functional split of a protocol stack may be employed between a CU 160 and a DU 165 such that the CU 160 may support one or more layers of the protocol stack and the DU 165 may support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. In some examples, the CU 160 may host upper protocol layer (e.g., layer 3 (L3), layer 2 (L2)) functionality and signaling (e.g.. RRC, service data adaptation protocol (SDAP), Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP)). The CU 160 (e.g., one or more CUs) may be connected to a DU 165 (e.g., one or more DUs) or an RU 170 (e.g., one or more RUs), or some combination thereof, and the DUs 165, RUs 170, or both may host lower protocol layers, such as layer 1 (LI) (e.g., physical (PHY) layer) or L2 (e.g., radio link control (RLC) layer, medium access control (MAC) layer) functionality and signaling, and may each be at least partially controlled by the CU 160. Additionally, or alternatively, a functional split of the protocol stack may be employed between a DU 165 and an RU 170 such that the DU 165 may support one or more layers of the protocol stack and the RU 170 may support one or more different layers of the protocol stack. The DU 165 may support one or multiple different cells (e.g., via one or multipleAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO22different RUs, such as an RU 170). In some cases, a functional split between a CU 160 and a DU 165 or between a DU 165 and an RU 170 may be within a protocol layer (e.g., some functions for a protocol layer may be performed by one of a CU 160, a DU 1 5, or an RU 170. while other functions of the protocol layer are performed by a different one of the CU 160, the DU 165, orthe RU 170). A CU 160 may be functionally split further into CU control plane (CU-CP) and CU user plane (CU-UP) functions. A CU 160 may be connected to a DU 165 via a midhaul communication link 162 (e.g., Fl, Fl-c, Fl-u), and a DU 165 may be connected to an RU 170 via a fronthaul communication link 168 (e.g., open fronthaul (FH) interface). In some examples, a midhaul communication link 162 or a fronthaul communication link 168 may be implemented in accordance with an interface (e.g., a channel) between layers of a protocol stack supported by respective network entities (e.g., one or more of the network entities 105) that are in communication via such communication links.

[0076] In some wireless communications systems (e.g., the wireless communications system 100), infrastructure and spectral resources for radio access may support wireless backhaul link capabilities to supplement wired backhaul connections, providing an IAB network architecture (e.g., to a core network 130). In some cases, in an IAB network, one or more of the network entities 105 (e.g., network entities 105 or IAB node(s) 104) may be partially controlled by each other. The IAB node(s) 104 may be referred to as a donor entity or an IAB donor. A DU 165 or an RU 170 may be partially controlled by a CU 160 associated with a network entity 105 or base station 140 (such as a donor network entity or a donor base station). The one or more donor entities (e.g., IAB donors) may be in communication with one or more additional devices (e.g., IAB node(s) 104) via supported access and backhaul links (e.g., backhaul communication link(s) 120). IAB node(s) 104 may include an IAB mobile termination (IAB-MT) controlled (e.g.. scheduled) by one or more DUs (e.g., DUs 165) of a coupled IAB donor. An IAB-MT may be equipped with an independent set of antennas for relay of communications with UEs 115 or may share the same antennas (e.g., of an RU 170) of IAB node(s) 104 used for access via the DU 165 of the IAB node(s) 104 (e.g., referred to as virtual IAB-MT (v IAB-MT)). In some examples, the IAB node(s) 104 may include one or more DUs (e.g., DUs 165) that support communication links with additional entities (e.g., IAB node(s) 104, UEs 115) within the relay chain orAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO23configuration of the access network (e.g., downstream). Tn such cases, one or more components of the disaggregated RAN architecture (e.g., the TAB node(s) 104 or components of the I AB node(s) 104) may be configured to operate according to the techniques described herein.

[0077] In the case of the techniques described herein applied in the context of a disaggregated RAN architecture, one or more components of the disaggregated RAN architecture may be configured to support techniques for switching between downlink control channel monitoring using wake-up signals and DRX as described herein. For example, some operations described as being performed by a UE 115 or a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140) may additionally, or alternatively, be performed by one or more components of the disaggregated RAN architecture (e.g., components such as an IAB node, a DU 165, a CU 160, an RU 170, an RIC 175, an SMO system 180).

[0078] A UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where the ‘'device” may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. A UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, a UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (loT) device, an Internet of Everything (loE) device, or a machine type communications (MTC) device, among other examples, which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances, vehicles, or meters, among other examples.

[0079] The UEs 115 described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as UEs 115 that may sometimes operate as relays, as well as the network entities 105 and the network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among other examples, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0080] The UEs 115 and the network entities 105 may wirelessly communicate with one another via the communication link(s) 125 (e.g., one or more access links) using resources associated with one or more carriers. The term ‘'carrier” may refer to a set of RF spectrum resources having a defined PHY layer structure for supporting theAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO24communication link(s) 125. For example, a carrier used for the communication link(s) 125 may include a portion of an RF spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth part (BWP)) that is operated according to one or more PHY layer channels for a given RAT (e g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each PHY layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling that coordinates operation for the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communications system 100 may support communication with a UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. A UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD) component carriers. Communication between a network entity 105 and other devices may refer to communication between the devices and any portion (e.g., entity, sub-entity) of a network entity 105. For example, the terms ‘'transmitting,’’ ‘'receiving,” or “communicating,” when referring to a network entity 105, may refer to any portion of a network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, a CU 160, a DU 165, a RU 170) of a RAN communicating with another device (e.g., directly or via one or more other network entities, such as one or more of the network entities 105).

[0081] Signal waveforms transmitted via a carrier may be made up of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may refer to resources of one symbol period (e.g., a duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, in which case the symbol period and subcarrier spacing may be inversely related. The quantity of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both), such that a relatively higher quantity of resource elements (e.g., in a transmission duration) and a relatively higher order of a modulation scheme may correspond to a relatively higher rate of communication. A wireless communications resource may refer to a combination of an RF spectrum resource, a time resource, and a spatial resource (e.g., a spatial layer, a beam), and the use ofAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO25multiple spatial resources may increase the data rate or data integrity for communications with a UE 115.

[0082] The time intervals for the network entities 105 or the UEs 115 may be expressed in multiples of a basic time unit which may, for example, refer to a sampling period of Ts= l / ^fmax’ Nf) seconds, for which fmaxmay represent a supported subcarrier spacing, and N may represent a supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size. Time intervals of a communications resource may be organized according to radio frames each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0083] Each frame may include multiple consecutively-numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided (e.g.. in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a quantity of slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable quantity of slots, and the quantity of slots may depend on subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include a quantity of symbol periods (e g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems, such as the wireless communications system 100, a slot may further be divided into multiple mini-slots associated with one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may be associated with one or more (e.g., Nf) sampling periods. The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or frequency band of operation.

[0084] A subframe, a slot, a mini-slot, or a symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communications system 100 and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., a quantity’ of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally, or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communications system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0085] Physical channels may be multiplexed for communication using a carrier according to various techniques. A physical control channel and a physical data channel may be multiplexed for signaling via a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexingAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO26(FDM) techniques, or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel may be defined by a set of symbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of the UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 may monitor or search control regions for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or multiple control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. An aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to an amount of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with encoded information for a control information format having a given payload size. Search space sets may include common search space sets configured for sending control information to UEs 115 (e.g.. one or more UEs) or may include UE-specific search space sets for sending control information to a UE 115 (e.g., a specific UE).

[0086] In some examples, a network entity 105 (e g., a base station 140, an RU 170) may be movable and therefore provide communication coverage for a moving coverage area, such as the coverage area 110. In some examples, coverage areas 110 (e.g., different coverage areas) associated with different technologies may overlap, but the coverage areas 110 (e.g., different coverage areas) may be supported by the same network entity (e.g., a network entity 105). In some other examples, overlapping coverage areas, such as a coverage area 110, associated with different technologies may be supported by different network entities (e.g., the network entities 105). The wireless communications system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of the network entities 105 support communications for coverage areas 110 (e.g., different coverage areas) using the same or different RATs.

[0087] Some UEs 115 may be configured to employ operating modes that reduce power consumption, such as half-duplex communications (e.g., a mode that supports one-way communication via transmission or reception, but not transmission and reception concurrently). In some examples, half-duplex communications may be performed at a reduced peak rate. Other power conservation techniques for the UEs 115 may include entering a power saving deep sleep mode when not engaging in active communications, operating using a limited bandwidth (e.g.. according to narrowbandAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO27communications), or a combination of these techniques. For example, some UEs 115 may be configured for operation using a narrowband protocol type that is associated with a defined portion or range (e.g.. set of subcarriers or resource blocks (RBs)) within a carrier, within a guard-band of a carrier, or outside of a carrier.

[0088] The wireless communications system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communications or low-latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communications system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). The UEs 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions. Ultra-reliable communications may include private communication or group communication and may be supported by one or more services such as push-to-talk, video, or data. Support for ultra-reliable, low-latency functions may include prioritization of services, and such services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, and ultra-reliable low-latency may be used interchangeably herein.

[0089] In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured to support communicating directly with other UEs (e.g., one or more of the UEs 115) via a device-to-device (D2D) communication link, such as a D2D communication link 135 (e.g., in accordance with a peer-to-peer (P2P), D2D, or sidelink protocol). In some examples, one or more UEs 115 of a group that are performing D2D communications may be within the coverage area 110 of a network entity' 105 (e.g., a base station 140, an RU 170), which may support aspects of such D2D communications being configured by (e.g., scheduled by) the network entity 105. In some examples, one or more UEs 115 of such a group may be outside the coverage area 110 of a network entity 105 or may be otherwise unable to or not configured to receive transmissions from a network entity 105. In some examples, groups of the UEs 115 communicating via D2D communications may support a one-to-many (EM) system in which each UE 115 transmits to one or more of the UEs 115 in the group. In some examples, a network entity 105 may facilitate the scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In some other examples, D2D communications may be carried out between the UEs 115 without an involvement of a network entity' 105.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO28

[0090] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) and at least one 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)). The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for the UEs 115 served by the network entities 105 (e.g., base stations 140) associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be transferred through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to IP services 150 for one or more network operators. The IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, Intranet(s), an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or a Packet-Switched Streaming Service.

[0091] The wireless communications system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands, which may be in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, which may be referred to as clusters, but the waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for a macro cell to provide service to the UEs 115 located indoors. Communications using UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than one hundred kilometers) compared to communications using the smaller frequencies and longer waves of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portion of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0092] The wireless communications system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed RF spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communications system 100 may employ License Assisted Access (LAA), LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) RAT, or NR technology using an unlicensed band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, andAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO29medical (ISM) band. While operating using unlicensed RF spectrum bands, devices such as the network entities 105 and the UEs 115 may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations using unlicensed bands may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration in conjunction with component carriers operating using a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operations using unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other examples.

[0093] A network entity 105 (e.g., a base station 140, an RU 170) or a UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas, which may be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of a network entity 105 or a UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with a network entity 105 may be located at diverse geographic locations. A netw ork entity' 105 may include an antenna array with a set of rows and columns of antenna ports that the network entity 105 may use to support beamforming of communications with a UE 115. Likewise, a UE 115 may include one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally, or alternatively, an antenna panel may support RF beamforming for a signal transmitted via an antenna port.

[0094] Beamforming, which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a netw ork entity 105, a UE 115) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path betw een the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining the signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating along particular orientations with respect to an antenna array experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference. The adjustment of signals communicated via the antenna elements may include a transmitting device or a receiving device applying amplitude offsets, phase offsets, or both to signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the device.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO30The adjustments associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., with respect to the antenna array of the transmitting device or receiving device, or with respect to some other orientation).

[0095] The electromagnetic spectrum is often subdivided, based onfrequency / wavelength, into various classes, bands, channels, etc. In 5GNRtwo initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz -7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz - 52.6 GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to (interchangeably) as a ■‘Sub-6 GHz’’ band in various documents and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs with regard to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz - 300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band.

[0096] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have identified an operating band for these midband frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7.125 GHz - 24.25 GHz).Frequency bands falling within FR3 may inherit FR1 characteristics and / or FR2 characteristics, and thus may effectively extend features of FR1 and / or FR2 into midband frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5GNR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz -71 GHz). FR4 (52.6 GHz - 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz - 300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0097] With the above aspects in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like if used herein may broadly represent frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like if used herein may broadly represent frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1, and / or FR5, or may be within the EHF band.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO31

[0098] One or more of the network entities 105 may include a communications manager 101, which may output a first control message that indicates a configuration of a set of one or more parameters applicable to a LP-WUS monitoring technique and a second LP-WUS monitoring technique that is different from the first low-power wakeup signal monitoring technique, output, based on one or more DRX cycles, one or more LP-WUSs in accordance with the set of one or more parameters and the first LP-WUS monitoring technique, output a second control message indicative of a switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique, and output, based on the one or more DRX cycles, the one or more LP-WUSs in accordance with the set of one or more parameters and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique, where the one or more LP-WUSs are monitored in accordance with the second LP-WUS monitoring technique based on the second control message indicative of the switch.

[0099] One or more of the UEs 115 may include a communications manager 101, w hich may receive a first control message that indicates a configuration of a set of one or more parameters applicable to a LP-WUS monitoring technique and a second LP-WUS monitoring technique that is different from the first low-power wake-up signal monitoring technique, monitor, based on one or more DRX cycles, for one or more LP-WUSs in accordance with the set of one or more parameters and the first LP-WUS monitoring technique, receive a second control message indicative of a swatch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique, and monitor, based on the one or more DRX cycles, for the one or more LP-WUSs in accordance w ith the set of one or more parameters and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique, where the one or more LP-WUSs are monitored in accordance with the second LP-WUS monitoring technique based on the second control message indicative of the switch.

[0100] In some cases, the wireless communications system 100 may support efficient configuration of one or more parameters applicable to a first LP-WUS monitoring technique and a second LP-WUS monitoring technique. For example, the one or more parameters may be indicated via a same control message and may be applicable to both the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. Such techniques may enable a UE 115 to efficiently switchAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO32between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique, for example, based on a MAC-CE command, which may reduce latency and signaling overhead due to the one or more parameters enabling the UE 115 to refrain from performing a reconfiguration procedure based on the switch. That is, the UE 115 may support both the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique and may receive a first control message (e.g., a single RRC IE) indicative of the one or more parameters applicable to both the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. In such cases, the one or more parameters may include a slot periodicity and offset associated with LP-WUS MOs, an offset associated with LP-WUSs, a duration associated with the LP-WUS MOs, or any combination thereof. Additionally, in some cases, the first control message may include a variable indicating which of the first type of LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH monitoring or the second type of LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH monitoring the UE 115 is to use to monitor for LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH (e.g., initially).

[0101] The UE 115 may receive a second control message, such as the MAC-CE command, indicative of a switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second type of LP-WUS monitoring technique. For example, the second control message may include a field indicating the first type of LP-WUS monitoring technique is activated, the second type of LP-WUS monitoring technique is activated, both the first type and the second type are activated, or both the first type and the second type are de-activated. After receiving the second control message, the UE 115 may monitor for LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH in accordance with the switch.

[0102] FIG. 2 shows an example of a network architecture 200 (e.g., a disaggregated base station architecture, a disaggregated RAN architecture) that supports techniques for switching between downlink control channel monitoring using wake-up signals and DRX in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. The network architecture 200 may illustrate an example for implementing one or more aspects of the wireless communications system 100. The network architecture 200 may include one or more CUs 160-a that may communicate directly with a core network 130-a via a backhaul communication link 120-a, or indirectly with the core network 130-a through one or more disaggregated network entities 105 (e.g., aNear-RT RIC 175-b via an E2 link, or aNon-RT RIC 175-a associated with an SMO 180-a (e.g.. anAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO33SMO Framework), or both). A CU 160-a may communicate with one or more DUs 165-a via respective midhaul communication links 162-a (e.g., an Fl interface). The DUs 165-a may communicate with one or more RUs 170-a via respective fronthaul communication links 168-a. The RUs 170-a may be associated with respective coverage areas 110-a and may communicate with UEs 115-a via one or more communication links 125-a. In some implementations, a UE 115-a may be simultaneously served by multiple RUs 170-a.

[0103] Each of the network entities 105 of the network architecture 200 (e.g., CUs 160-a, DUs 165-a, RUs 170-a. Non-RT RICs 175-a. Near-RT RICs 175-b, SMOs 180-a, Open Clouds (O-Clouds) 205, Open eNBs (O-eNBs) 210) may include one or more interfaces or may be coupled with one or more interfaces configured to receive or transmit signals (e.g., data, information) via a wired or wireless transmission medium. Each network entity 105, or an associated processor (e.g., controller) providing instructions to an interface of the network entity 105, may be configured to communicate with one or more of the other network entities 105 via the transmission medium. For example, the network entities 105 may include a wired interface configured to receive or transmit signals over a wired transmission medium to one or more of the other network entities 105. Additionally, or alternatively, the network entities 105 may include a wireless interface, which may include a receiver, a transmitter, or transceiver (e.g., an RF transceiver) configured to receive or transmit signals, or both, over a wireless transmission medium to one or more of the other network entities 105.

[0104] In some examples, a CU 160-a may host one or more higher layer control functions. Such control functions may include RRC, PDCP, SDAP, or the like. Each control function may be implemented with an interface configured to communicate signals with other control functions hosted by the CU 160-a. A CU 160-a may be configured to handle user plane functionality’ (e.g., CU-UP), control plane functionality’ (e.g., CU-CP), or a combination thereof. In some examples, a CU 160-a may be logically split into one or more CU-UP units and one or more CU-CP units. A CU-UP unit may communicate bidirectionally with the CU-CP unit via an interface, such as an El interface yvhen implemented in an O-RAN configuration. A CU 160-a may beAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO34implemented to communicate with a DU 165-a, as necessary, for network control and signaling.

[0105] A DU 165-a may correspond to a logical unit that includes one or more functions (e.g., base station functions, RAN functions) to control the operation of one or more RUs 170-a. In some examples, a DU 165-a may host, at least partially, one or more of an RLC layer, a MAC layer, and one or more aspects of a PHY layer (e g., a high PHY layer, such as modules for FEC encoding and decoding, scrambling, modulation and demodulation, or the like) depending, at least in part, on a functional split, such as those defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). In some examples, a DU 165-a may further host one or more low PHY layers. Each layer may be implemented with an interface configured to communicate signals with other layers hosted by the DU 165-a, or with control functions hosted by a CU 160-a.

[0106] In some examples, lower-layer functionality may be implemented by one or more RUs 170-a. For example, an RU 170-a, controlled by a DU 165-a, may correspond to a logical node that hosts RF processing functions, or low- PHY layer functions (e.g., performing fast Fourier transform (FFT), inverse FFT (iFFT), digital beamforming, physical random access channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering, or the like), or both, based at least in part on the functional split, such as a lower-layer functional split. In such an architecture, an RU 170-a may be implemented to handle over the air (OTA) communication with one or more UEs 115-a. In some implementations, real-time and non-real-time aspects of control and user plane communication with the RU(s) 170-a may be controlled by the corresponding DU 165-a. In some examples, such a configuration may enable a DU 165-a and a CU 160-a to be implemented in a cloudbased RAN architecture, such as a vRAN architecture.

[0107] The SMO 180-a may be configured to support RAN deployment and provisioning of non-virtualized and virtualized network entities 105. For non -virtualized network entities 105, the SMO 180-a may be configured to support the deployment of dedicated physical resources for RAN coverage requirements which may be managed via an operations and maintenance interface (e.g., an 01 interface). For virtualized network entities 105, the SMO 180-a may be configured to interact with a cloud computing platform (e.g., an O-Cloud 205) to perform network entity life cycle management (e.g., to instantiate virtualized network entities 105) via a cloud computing Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO35platform interface (e.g., an 02 interface). Such virtualized network entities 105 can include, but are not limited to, CUs 160-a, DUs 165-a, RUs 170-a, and Near-RT RICs 175-b. In some implementations, the SMO 180-a may communicate with components configured in accordance with a 4G RAN (e.g., via an 01 interface). Additionally, or alternatively, in some implementations, the SMO 180-a may communicate directly with one or more RUs 170-a via an 01 interface. The SMO 180-a also may include aNon-RT RIC 175-a configured to support functionality of the SMO 180-a.

[0108] The Non-RT RIC 175-a may be configured to include a logical function that enables non-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources, Artificial Intelligence (Al) or Machine Learning (ML) workflows including model training and updates, or policy-based guidance of applications / features in the Near-RT RIC 175-b. The Non-RT RIC 175-a may be coupled to or communicate with (e.g., via an Al interface) the Near-RT RIC 175-b. The Near-RT RIC 175-b may be configured to include a logical function that enables near-real-time control and optimization of RAN elements and resources via data collection and actions over an interface (e.g., via an E2 interface) connecting one or more CUs 160-a, one or more DUs 165-a, or both, as well as an O-eNB 210, with the Near-RT RIC 175-b.

[0109] In some examples, to generate AI / ML models to be deployed in the Near-RT RIC 175-b, the Non-RT RIC 175-a may receive parameters or external enrichment information from external servers. Such information may be utilized by the Near-RT RIC 175-b and may be received at the SMO 180-a or the Non-RT RIC 175-a from nonnetwork data sources or from network functions. In some examples, the Non-RT RIC 175-a or the Near-RT RIC 175-b may be configured to tune RAN behavior or performance. For example, the Non-RT RIC 175-a may monitor long-term trends and patterns for performance and employ Al or ML models to perform corrective actions through the SMO 180-a (e.g., reconfiguration via 01) or via generation of RAN management policies (e.g.. Al policies).

[0110] In some cases, the network architecture 200 In some cases, may support efficient configuration of one or more parameters applicable to a first LP-WUS monitoring technique and a second LP-WUS monitoring technique. For example, the one or more parameters may be indicated via a same control message and may be applicable to both the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO36monitoring technique. Such techniques may enable a UE 115 to efficiently switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique, for example, based on a MAC-CE command, which may reduce latency and signaling overhead due to the one or more parameters enabling the UE 115 to refrain from performing a reconfiguration procedure based on the switch. That is, the UE 115 may support both the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique and may receive a first control message (e.g., a single RRC IE) indicative of the one or more parameters applicable to the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. In such cases, the one or more parameters may include a slot periodicity and offset associated with LP-WUS MOs, an offset associated with LP-WUSs, a duration associated with the LP-WUS MOs, or any combination thereof. Additionally, in some cases, the first control message may include a variable indicating which of the first type of LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH monitoring or the second type of LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH monitoring the UE 115 is to use to monitor for LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH (e.g., initially).[OHl] The UE 115 may receive a second control message, such as the MAC-CE command, indicative of a switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second type of LP-WUS monitoring technique. For example, the second control message may include a field indicating the first type of LP-WUS monitoring technique is activated, the second type of LP-WUS monitoring technique is activated, both the first ty pe and the second type are activated, or both the first type and the second type are de-activated. After receiving the second control message, the UE 115 may monitor for LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH in accordance with the switch.

[0112] FIG. 3 shows an example of a wireless communications system 300 that supports techniques for switching between downlink control channel monitoring using wake-up signals and DRX in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. In some cases, the wireless communications system 300 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system 100, the network architecture 200, or both. For example, the wireless communications system 300 may include one or more UEs 115 (e.g., a UE 115-a) and one or more network entities 105 (e.g., a network entity 105-a), which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described herein.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO37

[0113] In some cases, a UE 115, such as the UE 1 15-a, may support LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH monitoring. That is, the UE 115-a may include (e.g., support) both a first radio component (e.g., receiver), which may be referred to as a LP-WUR 320 (e g., low-power wake-up radio), and a second radio component, which may be referred to as an MR 315 (e.g., main radio), where the LP-WUR 320 may have reduced complexity, reduced capability, or reduced power consumption relative to the MR 315, such that the LP-WUR 320 may be associated with (e.g., use) a lower power consumption than the MR 315. However, the LP-WUR 320 may not have the capability to perform transmissions. In such cases, the UE 115-a may have the capability to switch the LP-WUR 320 on and off quickly (e.g., within a threshold duration), and may have the capability to receive and process simple signals, such as signals associated with a threshold bandwidth (e.g., a limited bandwidth), signals associated with one or more waveforms (e.g., simple waveforms, on off keying (OOK) waveforms), or both, via the LP-WUR 320.

[0114] For example, the UE 115-a may turn off the MR 315 (e.g., to save power while the UE 115-a is in a deep sleep mode) and, while the MR 315 is off, may monitor for one or more LP-WUSs 305 via the LP-WUR 320. If the UE 115-a receives an LP-WUS 305 from the network entity 105-a via the LP-WUR 320, the UE 115-a may wake up (e.g., turn on, supply powder to) the MR 315 and may monitor for (e.g., and receive) a control message 325 via a PDCCH 310 (e.g., from the network entity 105-a via the MR 315). In other words, the UE 115-a may perform LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH monitoring using the MR 315 based on reception of the LP-WUS 305 via the LP-WUR 320. As described herein, the UE 115-a may monitor for the one or more LP-WUSs 305 via the LP-WUR 320 in a deep sleep mode (e.g., a first mode) and may wake up the MR 315 and monitor for the control message 325 in an awake mode (e.g., a second mode). In other words, the UE 115-a may operate according to the deep sleep mode when monitoring for the one or more LP-WUSs 305 via the LP-WUR 320 (e.g., may use the LP-WUR 320 in the deep sleep mode) and may operate according to the awake mode when monitoring for the control message 325 via the MR 315 (e.g., may use the MR 315 in the awake mode).

[0115] In some examples, the UE 115-a may support OOK modulation for reception of LP-WUSs 305 (e.g.. and low-power synchronization signals (LP-SSs)). For example,Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO38the UE 115-a may support OOK-1 , 00K-4, or both, for reception of the LP-WUSs 305. In baseband, an OOK waveform may be a sequence of high power (e.g., high amplitude, first threshold power) durations or low (e.g., low amplitude, zero power, second threshold power) durations. In such cases, a high power duration, a low power duration, or both, may convey an information bit. For example, in an OOK waveform, a zero amplitude duration (e.g., off duration) may indicate a bit value of zero and a high amplitude duration (e.g., on duration) may indicate a bit value of 1.

[0116] In some cases, when an OFDM sequence (e.g., Gold sequence, M sequence, computer searched sequence, Zadoff Chu sequence) is overlaid with OOK-1 modulation, the network entity 105-a have the capability to convey 1 bit of information in one OFDM symbol (e.g., using an amplitude of am OOK-1 waveform). Similarly, when an OFDM sequence is overlaid with OOK-4 modulation, the network entity 105-a may have the capability to convey Mbits of information in one OFDM symbol (e.g., using an amplitude of am OOK-4 waveform). For example, when M = 2, the network entity 105-a may be capable of communicating 2 OOK symbols per OFDM symbol. In another example, when M = 4, the network entity 105-a may be capable of communicating 4 OOK symbols per OFDM symbol.

[0117] In some cases, the UE 115-a may additionally support C- DRX (e.g., for UE power savings) in which the UE 115-a may periodically wake up to monitor the PDCCH 310 for a control message 325 from the network entity 105-a. That is, the UE 115-a may support one or more C-DRX cycles, where each C-DRX cycle includes an active duration (e.g., on duration, active time, when an on duration timer is running) during which the UE 115-a may monitor the PDCCH 310 for the control message 325 and an inactive duration (e.g., off duration, inactive time, when the on duration timer is not running) during which the UE 115-a may enter a sleep mode (e.g., refrain from monitoring the PDCCH 310 for the control message 325). However, a periodicity of active durations (e.g., in the one or more C-DRX cycles, of PDCCH monitoring) may be fixed (e.g., configured by the network entity 105-a), such that the UE 115-a may wake up and monitor for the PDCCH 310 during each active duration (e.g., on the one or more C-DRX cycles), even when the network entity 105-a does not transmit a control message to the UE 115-a (e.g.. during an active duration), which may reduce power savings and latency performance.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO39

[0118] Accordingly, in some cases, the UE 115-a (e.g., in an RRC CONNECTED mode) may support PDCCH monitoring triggered by LP-WUSs 305 (e.g., LP-WUS-based PDCCH monitoring) with a C-DRX configuration. In some cases, the UE 115-a may support a first LP-WUS monitoring technique (e.g., a first type of LP-WUS monitoring, a first type of LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH monitoring) with the C-DRX configuration, which may be referred to as Option 1-1 as described further with reference to a timing diagram 400-a and a timing diagram 500-a, may support a second LP-WUS monitoring technique (e.g., a second type of LP-WUS monitoring, a second type of LP-WUS-triggered PDCCH monitoring), which may be referred to as Option 1-2 as described further with reference to a timing diagram 400-b and a timing diagram 500-b, or may support both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2.

[0119] According to Option 1-1, the UE 115-a may monitor for one or more LP-WUSs 305 (e.g., according to a first LP-WUS monitoring configuration) before an active duration of a C-DRX cycle (e.g., before adrx-onDurationlimer is running) and, if the UE 115-a receives an LP-WUS 305 (e.g., via the LP-WUR 320), the UE 115-a may trigger a start of the active duration. That is, if the UE 115-a receives the LP-WUS 305 within a threshold duration of the active duration, the UE 115-a may turn on the MR 315 (e.g., wake up) during the active duration to monitor for a control message 325 via the PDCCH 310. Conversely, if the UE 115-a does not receive the LP-WUS 305 within the threshold duration of the active duration, the UE 115-a may stay in the sleep mode and may refrain from turning on the MR 315 (e.g., refrain from waking up, refrain from monitoring the PDCCH 310 for the control message 325 during the active duration).

[0120] According to Option 1-2, the UE 115-a may monitor for one or more LP-WUSs 305 (e.g., according to a second LP-WUS monitoring configuration) during an inactive duration of a C-DRX cycle (e.g., outside of an active duration of the C-DRX cycle) and, if the UE 115-a receives an LP-WUS 305 (e.g., via the LP-WUR 320), the UE 115-a may turn on the MR 315 to monitor for a control message 325 via the PDCCH 310. That is, if the UE 115-a receives the LP-WUS 305 during the inactive duration, the UE 115-a may turn on the MR 315 to monitor for the control message 325 via the PDCCH 310 during the inactive duration (e.g.. even though the UE 115-a is in the inactive duration of the C-DRX cycle). Conversely, if the UE 115-a does not receiveAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO40the LP-WUS 305 during the inactive duration, the UE 1 15-a may remain in the sleep mode and may refrain from turning on the MR 315 (e.g., refrain from waking up, refrain from monitoring for the PDCCH 310).

[0121] In some examples, the UE 115-a may support both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 and, in some cases, may switch between Option 1-1 and Option 1-2. For example, Option 1-2 may be associated with relatively lower latency than Option 1-1 based on a capability of the UE 115-a to perform PDCCH monitoring (e.g., triggered by an LP-WUS 305) during an inactive duration of a C-DRX cycle in accordance with Option 1-2. The UE 115-a may switch from Option 1-1 to Option 1-2 based on data to be received by the UE 115-a being associated with a threshold latency (e.g., being associated with a latency requirement not satisfied by Option 1-1). However, Option 1-1 may be associated with a first LP-WUS configuration (e.g., one or more first parameters associated with the one or more LP-WUSs 305) and Option 1-2 may be associated with a second LP-WUS configuration (e.g., one or more second parameters associated with the one or more LP-WUSs 305), where the first LP-WUS configuration is different than the second LP-WUS configuration (e.g., the one or more first parameters are different than the one or more second parameters). To switch between Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, the UE 115-a may switch between the first LP-WUS configuration and the second LP-WUS configuration, which may result in increased latency and signaling overhead. In other words, the UE 115-a may perform a reconfiguration procedure to switch between Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, which may¬ result in increased latency and signaling overhead.

[0122] Techniques described herein may enable the UE 115-a to support one or more shared parameters 350 (e.g., a shared LP-WUS configuration 345) applicable to Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 (e.g., to both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2) to enable the network entity 105-a to dynamically (e.g., efficiently) switch the UE 115-a between Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, resulting in decreased latency and decreased overhead (e.g., without additional configuration signaling). For example, the UE 115-a may receive a control message 325-a (e.g., including a LP-WUS RRC IE 340) indicating a configuration 345 of one or more shared parameters 350 applicable to MOs associated with the one or more LP-WUSs 305, which may be referred to as LP-WUS MOs, for Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 (e.g., for both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2). That is, ratherAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO41than supporting one or more first parameters associated with Option 1-1 and one or more second parameters for Option 1-2, the UE 115-a may support a single set of one or more shared parameters 350 applicable to LP-WUS MOs for Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 (e.g.. the first LP-WUS configuration may be the same as the second LP-WUS configuration, the UE 115-a may support a shared LP-WUS configuration). In some other cases, the UE 115-a may support the one or more first parameters and the one or more second parameters, where the one or more first parameters are different than the one or more second parameters.

[0123] The one or more shared parameters 350 may include an LP-WUS MO periodicity Q.g.,LPWUS-SlotPeriodicityAndOffsef), an LP-WUS MO duration (e.g., LPWUS-duratiori), an LP-WUS offset (e.g., LPWUS-offset), a PDCCH monitoring duration 335 (e.g., LPWUS-PDCCH-time ), or any combination thereof, as described further with reference to FIG. 5. The one or more shared parameters 350 associated with the one or more LP-WUS MOs (e.g., the LP-WUS RRC IE 340) may be independent from one or more other parameters associated with the one or more C-DRX cycles (e.g., the network entity 105-a may indicate the shared LP-WUS configuration in a different RRC IE than the C-DRX configuration, the one or more shared parameters 350 may not depend on the one or more other parameters).

[0124] Additionally, or alternatively, the control message 325-a (e.g.. including the LP-WUS RRC IE 340) may include an indication of which of Option 1-1 or Option 1-2 the UE 115-a is to use for monitoring for (e.g., initially monitor for) one or more LP-WUSs 305. For example, the control message 325-a may include a variable (e.g..LPWUSMO-option) indicating Option 1-1 or Option 1-2. That is, a first value of the variable (e.g., 1) may indicate for (e.g., command) the UE 115-a to monitor for the one or more LP-WUSs 305 according to Option 1-1 and a second value of the variable (e.g., 2) may indicate for the UE 115-a to monitor for the one or more LP-WUSs 305 according to Option 1-2. such that the control message 325-a may indicate the first value of the variable or the second value of the vanable. For example, if LP-WUS monitoring is configured with the variable (e.g., LPWUSMO-option) set to Option 1-1 (e.g., via the first value), the UE 115-a may monitor for one or more LP-WUSs 305 in accordance with Option 1-1. Conversely, if LP-WUS monitoring is configured with the variable (e.g., LPWUSMO-option) set to Option 1-2 (e.g.. via the second value), the UEAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO42115-a may monitor for the one or more LP-WUSs 305 in accordance w i th Option 1-2. In some examples, an Option (e.g., a LP-WUS MO Option) indicated by the variable may be referred to as a default Option. That is, either Option 1-1 or Option 1-2 may be the default Option, as indicated by the control message 325-a.

[0125] Thus, the UE 115-a may monitor for (e.g., initially monitor for) the one or more LP-WUSs 305 according to Option 1-1 or Option 1-2 (e.g., as indicated by a value of the variable) and may receive a control message 325-b (e.g., MAC-CE message, command) that activates (e.g., or deactivates) Option 1-1. Option 1-2, or both. In some cases, the control message 325-b may indicate a switch between Option 1-1 and Option 1-2. That is, the second control message may indicate either a first switch from Option 1-1 to Option 1-2 or a second switch from Option 1-2 to Option 1-1.

[0126] Additionally, or alternatively, the second control message may indicate which of Option 1-1 or Option 1-2 (e.g., or both, or neither) are activated (e.g., to be activated, to be used by the UE 115-a for monitoring of LP-WUSs 305). For example, in some cases, the control message 325-b may include a single bit field 330 indicating that either Option 1-1 or Option 1-2 is activated. That is, a first value of the single bit field 330 may activate Option 1-1 and a second value of the single bit field 330 may activate Option 1-2. In some other examples, the control message 325-b may include a multi-bit field 330 (e.g., 2 bits) indicating Option 1-1 being activated, Option 1-2 being activated, both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 being activated, or both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 being de-activated. For example, a first value of the multi-bit field 330 may activate Option 1-1, a second value of the multi-bit field 330 may activate Option 1-2. a third value of the multi-bit field 330 may activate both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, and a fourth value of the multi-bit field 330 may de-activate both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2. In some cases, the single bit field 330 or the multi-bit field 330 may be a first field 330 in the control message 325-b (e.g., a first field of 1 or 2 bits in a first Octet).

[0127] Thus, if LP-WUS monitoring is configured with Option 1-1 activated via the control message 325-b, the UE 115-a may monitor for the one or more LP-WUSs 305 in accordance with Option 1-1. Conversely, if LP-WUS monitoring is configured with Option 1-2 activated via the control message 325-b, the UE 115-a may monitor for the Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO43one or more LP-WUSs 305 in accordance with Option 1-2. In such cases, reception of a LP-WUS 305 (e.g., LP-WUS indication received from a lower layer) may indicate for the UE 115-a to start a timer associated with the PDCCH monitoring duration 335 (e g., LPWUS-PDCCH-timer). In another example, if LP-WUS monitoring is configured with Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 activated via the control message 325-b, the UE 115-a may monitor for the one or more LP-WUSs 305 in accordance with Option 1-1 and Option 1-2. Conversely, if LP-WUS monitoring is configured with Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 de-activated via the control message 325-b, the UE 115-a may refrain from monitoring for the one or more LP-WUSs 305 in accordance with Option 1-1 and Option 1-2.

[0128] Additionally, in some cases, the control message 325-b may include an indication of the PDCCEI monitoring duration 335 (e.g., PDCCH monitoring timer, a MAC timer). In some examples, such as when neither the control message 325-a nor the control message 325-b includes an indication of the PDCCH monitoring duration 335, the UE 115-a may set the PDCCH monitoring duration 335 equal to a value of an on duration timer associated with the C-DRX configuration (e.g., drx-OnDurationTimer).

[0129] FIG. 4 shows examples of timing diagrams 400 (e.g., the timing diagram 400-a and the timing diagram 400-b) that supports techniques for switching between downlink control channel monitoring using wake-up signals and DRX in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. In some cases, the timing diagrams 400 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system 100, the network architecture 200, the wireless communications system 300, or any combination thereof. For example, the timing diagrams 400 may be implemented by one or more UEs 115 and one or more network entities 105, which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described herein.

[0130] As described with reference to FIG. 3, the timing diagram 400-a may depict an example of a DRX cycle 430 with LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-1 and the timing diagram 400-b may depict an example of the DRX cycle 430 with LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-2. The DRX cycle 430 may be an example of a C-DRX cycle (e.g., C-DRX period) described herein, or may be utilized instead of the C-DRX cycle described herein. In some cases, DRX cycle 430 may start at 405, which may correspond to a beginning of a subframe (e.g., a starting subframe based on drx-LongCycleStartOffset) and, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the DRX cycle 430 Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO44may include an active duration 425 (e.g., active time) and an inactive duration 465 (e.g., inactive time, during which a UE 115 may sleep). The active duration 425 may begin at a slot offset (e.g., drx-SlotOffset) from the beginning of the subframe (e.g., from 405).

[0131] The active duration 425 may include a duration 410 associated with a first timer (e.g.. during which a drx-OnDurationTimer is running) and, optionally, a duration 420 associated with a second timer (e.g., during which a drx-InactivityTimer is running). In some cases, the active duration 425 may include both the duration 410 and the duration 420 when a UE 115 receives a PDCCH 415 indicating a transmission (e.g., a subsequent downlink, uplink, or sidelink data transmission on a serving cell in a DRX group) during the duration 410 (e.g., while the drx-OnDurationTimer is running), where the duration 420 extends from the PDCCH 415, such that the active duration 525 ends at the end of the duration 420 (e.g., ends when the drx-InactivityTimer expires). In other words, the duration 410 may begin when the first timer is triggered by the beginning of the active duration 425 and the duration 420 may begin when the second timer is triggered by reception of the PDCCH 415 while the first timer is running.

[0132] In some examples (e.g., not depicted), the second timer (e.g., the drx-InactivityTimer) may restart based on reception of another PDCCH 415 prior to the end of the duration 420. That is, the UE 115 may receive a first PDCCH 415 triggering the start of the second timer and, if a second PDCCH 415 is received while the second timer is running, the UE 115 may restart the second timer from a time at which the second PDCCH 415 was received. Conversely, the active duration 425 may include the duration 410 (e.g., and not the duration 420) when the UE 115 does not (e.g., fails to) receives the PDCCH 415 during the duration 410. such that the active duration 425 ends at the end of the duration 410 (e.g., ends when the drx-OnDurationTimer expires). In other words, the UE 115 may be in the active duration 425 of the DRX cycle 430 when either the first timer (e.g., the drx-OnDurationTimer) or the second timer (e.g., the drx-InactivityTimer) is running.

[0133] As described with reference to FIG. 2, the UE 115 may support LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-1 and in accordance with Option 1-2. For example, as depicted in the timing diagram 400-a, the UE 115 may perform LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-1. That is, the UE 115 may monitor for one or more LP-WUS MOs 435 (e.g.. in accordance with the one or more shared parameters as Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO45described with reference to FIG. 3) within a threshold duration 450 of the active duration 425 of the DRX cycle 430 (e.g., prior to a slot in which the drx-OnDurationTimer is to start) and, if the UE 115 receives (e.g., and a network entity 105 transmits) an LP-WUS 445 during the one or more LP-WUS MOs 435. the UE 115 may monitor for a PDCCH 415 during the active duration 425 (e.g., may start the drx-OnDurationTimer during the active duration 425). That is, the UE 115 may monitor for the PDCCH 415 during the active duration 425 (e.g., may trigger the drx-OnDurationTimer) based on receiving the LP-WUS 445 during the one or more LP-WUS MOs 435 within the threshold duration 450 prior to the active duration 425. Conversely, if the UE 115 does not (e.g., fails to) receive (e.g., and the network entity 105 does not transmit) the LP-WUS 445 during the one or more LP-WUS MOs 435, the UE 115 may refrain from monitoring for the PDCCH 415 during the active duration 425. That is, the UE 115 may refrain from monitoring for the PDCCH 415 during the active duration 425 based on failure to receive the LP-WUS 445 during the one or more LP-WUS MOs 435 within the threshold duration 450 prior to the active duration 425.

[0134] Additionally, or alternatively, as depicted in the timing diagram 400-b, the UE 115 may perform LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-2. That is, the UE 115 may monitor for one or more LP-WUS 445 (e.g., in accordance with the one or more shared parameters as described with reference to FIG. 3) during one or more LP-WUS MOs 435 during the inactive duration 465 of the DRX cycle 430 (e.g., outside of the active duration 425 of the DRX cycle 430). In such cases, if the UE 115 receives an LP-WUS 445 during an LP-WUS MO 435 during the inactive duration, the UE 115 may trigger PDCCH monitoring (e.g., a PDCCH MO 455). That is, the UE 115 may monitor for a PDCCH 460 during a PDCCH MO 455 based on reception of the LP-WUS 445 during the LP-WUS MO 435 (e.g., during the inactive duration). In such cases, the PDCCH MO 455 may occur at an offset 470 (e.g., a fixed offset in time) from the LP-WUS MO 435 in which the UE 115 receives the LP-WUS 445. In some aspects, the PDCCH MO 455 may occur during a duration (e.g., PDCCH monitoring duration) in which a timer is running, which may be referred to as a PDCCH monitoring duration timer. For instance, reception of the LP-WUS 445 may trigger the PDCCH monitoring duration timer to begin running after the offset 470.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO46

[0135] In accordance with Option 1-2 (e.g., when Option 1-2 is activated and Option 1-1 is deactivated), as depicted in the timing diagram 400-b, monitoring for a PDCCH 415 during a duration 410 may be independent from LP-WUS monitoring. That is. the UE 115 may monitor for the PDCCH 415 during the duration 410 regardless of whether an LP-WUS 445 is received during an LP-WUS MO 435 within the threshold duration 450 prior to the active duration 425. In such cases, monitoring for the PDCCH 415 during the duration 410 may be based on starting the first timer at the beginning of the active duration 425 (e.g., in accordance with the slot offset), may be based on reception of a downlink control information of power saving (DCP) signal (e.g., via a MR, not an LP-WUR) at a DCP offset (e.g., ps-Offset-r J 6) prior to the active duration 425, or both. In such cases, the DCP offset may be a start of a search time of a control message (e.g., DCI format 2-6 with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a power saving radio network temporary identifier (PS-RNTI)) and may be relative to a start of the first timer (e.g., the drx-OnDurationTimer of Long DRX).

[0136] As described with reference to FIG. 3, the network entity 105 may indicate for the UE 115 to switch between LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-1, LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-2, LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, and LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with neither Option 1-1 nor Option 1-2. That is, the network entity 105 may transmit, to the UE 115, a control message (e.g., MAC-CE) indicating which of Option 1-1, Option 1-2, both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, or neither of Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 with which the UE 115 is to perform LP-WUS monitoring. For example, if the control message indicates Option 1-1, the UE 115 may perform LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with the timing diagram 400-a, if the control message indicates Option 1-2, the UE 115 may perform LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with the timing diagram 400-b, if the control message indicates both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, the UE 115 may perform LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with the timing diagram 400-a and the timing diagram 400-b, and if the control message indicates neither of Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 (e.g., indicates Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 are deactivated), the UE 115 may refrain from performing LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with the timing diagram 400-a and the timing diagram 400-b.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO47

[0137] When performing LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, the UE 115 may monitor for one or more LP-WUS 445 within the threshold duration 450 of the active duration 425 and during the inactive duration 465. That is. the UE 115 may monitor for a PDCCH 415 during the active duration 425 based on reception of an LP-WUS 445 within the threshold duration 450 of the active duration 425 and may monitor for a PDCCH 460 during the inactive duration 465 based on reception of an LP-WUS 445 during the inactive duration 465.

[0138] FIG. 5 shows examples of timing diagrams 500 (e.g., the timing diagram 500-a and the timing diagram 500-b) that supports techniques for switching between downlink control channel monitoring using wake-up signals and DRX in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. In some cases, the timing diagrams 500 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system 100, the network architecture 200, the wireless communications system 300, the timing diagrams 400, or any combination thereof. For example, the timing diagrams 500 may be implemented by one or more UEs 115 and one or more network entities 105, which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described herein.

[0139] As described with reference to FIGs. 3 and 5, the timing diagram 500-a may depict an example of a DRX cycle 530 (e.g., C-DRX cycle) with LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-1 and the timing diagram 500-b may depict an example of the DRX cycle 530 with LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-2. As described herein, the DRX cycle 530 may include an active duration 525 (e.g., associated with a drx-OnDurationTimer and / or a drx-InactivityTimer).

[0140] As described with reference to Option 1-1 depicted in the timing diagram 500-a, the UE 115 may perform LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with a first set of one or more parameters. In such cases, the first set of one or more parameters may include an LP-WUS MO duration 505-a (e.g., LPWUS-duratiori), a threshold time gap 520 (e.g., MinTimeGap-LPWUS) , an LP-WUS offset 550-a (e.g., LPWUS-offset), an LP-WUS MO periodicity’ 510-a (e.g., LPWUS-SlotPeriodicityAndOffset), a first LP-WUS MO offset (e.g., LPWUS-SlotPeriodicityAndOffsef), or any combination thereof. The LP-WUS MO duration 505-a may define a first duration (e.g., a quantity of consecutive slots with a start time that is based on LPWlJS-SlotPeriodicityAndOffset) associated with each LP-WUS MO 535 during which the UE 115 is to monitor for an Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO48LP-WUS 545. The threshold time gap 520 may define a gap (e.g., in time, a quantity of slots, or the like) prior to an active duration 525 in which the UE 115 may not receive an LP-WUS 545 triggering PDCCH monitoring in the active duration 525. That is, the UE 115 may monitor for a PDCCH during the active duration 525 if an LP-WUS 545 is received prior to the threshold time gap 520 (e.g., between the LP-WUS offset 550 and the threshold time gap 520) and may not monitor for the PDCCH during the active duration 525 if the LP-WUS 545 is received within the threshold time gap 520. The LP-WUS offset 550-a (e.g., in the context of Option 1-1) may indicate a time (e.g., an instance, a slot) where the UE 115-a is to start monitoring for LP-WUSs 545 prior to a slot where the active duration 525 is to start. That is, the UE 115 may monitor for a PDCCH during the active duration 525 if an LP-WUS 545 is received within the LP-WUS offset 550 (e.g., between the LP-WUS offset 550 and the threshold time gap 520) and may not monitor for the PDCCH during the active duration 525 if the LP-WUS 545 is received prior to the LP-WUS offset 550. The LP-WUS MO periodicity 510-a and the first LP-WUS MO offset may define (e.g., be used by the UE 115 to calculate) a start of each LP-WUS MO 535.

[0141] In some cases (e.g., Option 1-1, Approach 1), the network entity 105-amay configure LP-WUS MOs 535 (e.g., including the LP-WUS MO periodicity 510-a and the first LP-WUS MO offset) independently from a DRX periodicity and a DRX offset. That is, the LP-WUS MOs 535 may be defined by the LP-WUS MO periodicity 510-a and the first LP-WUS MO offset (e.g., one or more LP-WUS MOs 535 prior to an active duration 525 can trigger PDCCH monitoring). In some other cases (e.g., Option 1-1, Approach 2), the network entity 105-a may configure LP-WUS MOs 535 (e.g., including the LP-WUS MO periodicity 510-a and the first LP-WUS MO offset) based on a slot during which an active duration 525 is to start (e.g., a slot that the drx-onDurationTimer would start). That is, the LP-WUS MOs 535 may be defined by a time offset prior to the start of an active duration 525 (e.g.. one LP-WUS MO 535 prior to an active duration 525 can trigger PDCCH monitoring).

[0142] As described with reference to Option 1-2 depicted in the timing diagram 500-b, the UE 115 may perform LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with a second set of one or more parameters. In such cases, the second set of one or more parameters may include an LP-WUS MO duration 505-b (e.g.. LPWUS-duration), an LP-WUS offsetAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO49550-b (e.g., LPWUS-offset), an LP-WUS MO periodicity 510-b (e.g., LPWUS-SlotPeriodicityAndOffset), a second LP-WUS MO offset (e.g., LPWUS-SlotPeriodicityAndOffset), a PDCCH monitoring duration 540 (e.g., PDCCH-monitortng-timer\ or any combination thereof. The LP-WUS offset 550-b (e.g., in the context of Option 1-2) may indicate a time (e.g., an instance, a slot) where the UE 115 is to start monitoring for LP-WUSs 545 prior to a slot including a PDCCH monitoring occasion 555 (e.g., a slot where a PDCCH monitoring timer would start). The PDCCH monitoring duration 540 may indicate to the UE 115 how long to monitor for a PDCCH if woken up by an LP-WUS 545.

[0143] In some cases (e.g.. Option 1-2, Approach 1), the network entity 105-a may configure LP-WUS MOs 535 (e.g., including the LP-WUS MO periodicity 510-b and the second LP-WUS MO offset) independently from a DRX periodicity and a DRX offset. That is, the LP-WUS MOs 535 may be defined by the LP-WUS MO periodicity 510-b and the second LP-WUS MO offset. In some other cases (e.g.. Option 1-2, Approach 2), the network entity 105-a may configure LP-WUS MOs 535 (e g., including the LP-WUS MO periodicity 510-b and the second LP-WUS MO offset) based on a third timer for PDCCH monitoring triggered by reception of an LP-WUS 545. That is, the LP-WUS MOs 535 may be defined by a time offset prior to the start of a slot in which the third timer is to start and the third timer.

[0144] However, as described herein, when LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-1 and LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1-2 are configured via different parameters, the UE 115 may be unable to switch between Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 (e.g., or a combination of Option 1-1 and Option 1-2) without reconfiguration of the UE 115, which may result in increased signaling and overhead. That is, the UE 115 may be unable to efficiently switch between Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 when at least a subset of the one or more first parameters are different from at least a subset of the one or more second parameters.

[0145] Accordingly, techniques described herein may support a single set of one or more parameters applicable to Option 1-1 and Option 1-2. For example, for Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, the network entity 105 may configure LP-WUS MOs 535 independently from a DRX periodicity and a DRX offset. That is, the single set of one or more parameters may not depend on another set of one or more parameters associated Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO50with the DRX cycle (e.g., an RRC IE configuring the LP-WUS MOs 535 may be independent and different from an RRC IE configuring the DRX cycle 530).

[0146] Additionally, for Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, the network entity 105 may configure the LP-WUS MOs 535 in accordance with the single set of one or more parameters. That is, the single set of one or more parameters may include a single LP-WUS MO periodicity (e.g., a single LPWUS-SlotPeriodicityAndOffsef), a single LP-WUS MO offset (e.g., a single LPWUS-SlotPeriodicity’AndOffset), a single LP-WUS MO duration (e.g., a single LP-WUS-duratiori), a single LP-WUS offset (e.g., a single LP-WUS-Offsef). or any combination thereof, applicable to LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 1 and applicable to LP-WUS monitoring in accordance with Option 2. In other words, the LP-WUS MO periodicity 510-amay be the same as the LP-WUS MO periodicity 510-b, the first LP-WUS MO offset may be the same as the second LP-WUS MO offset, the LP-WUS offset 550-a may be the same as the LP-WUS offset 550-b (e.g., but application may be different between Options 1-1 and Option 1-2), and the LP-WUS MO duration 505-a may be the same as the LP-WUS MO duration 505-b. As describe herein, the single LP-WUS offset may indicate a time at which the UE 115 is to start monitoring for an LP-WUS 545 prior to a slot in which an active duration 525 is to start in the context of Option 1-1 and may indicate a time at which the UE 115 is to start monitoring for an LP-WUS 545 prior to a slot in which PDCCH monitoring is to start in the context of Option 1-2.

[0147] Thus, the network entity 105 may transmit a first control message (e.g., RRC IE) indicating the single set of one or more parameters applicable to Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 such that, to dynamically switch between Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, the network entity 105 may transmit a second control message (e.g., MAC-CE) indicating the switch between Option 1-1 and Option 1-2. In some cases (e.g., when activating at least Option 1-2), the second control message may additionally indicate the PDCCH monitoring duration 540 (e.g., applicable to Option 1-2). Alternatively, the PDCCH monitoring duration 540 may be equal to a duration of the active duration 525 (e.g., a value of the drx-onDurationTimer).

[0148] Thus, due to the single set of one or more parameters being applicable to both Option 1-1 and Option 1-2, the UE 115 may be capable of switching betweenAttorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO51Option 1-1 and Option 1-2 without performing a reconfiguration procedure, thus reducing latency and signaling overhead.

[0149] FIG. 6 shows an example of a process flow 600 that supports techniques for switching between downlink control channel monitoring using wake-up signals and DRX in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. In some cases, the process flow 600 may implement or be implemented by aspects of the wireless communications system 100, the network architecture 200, the wireless communications sy stem 300, the timing diagrams 400, the timing diagrams 500, or any combination thereof. For example, the process flow 600 may include one or more UEs 115 (e.g., a UE 115-b) and one or more network entities 105 (e.g., a network entity 105-b), which may be examples of the corresponding devices as described herein. In the following description of the process flow 600, the operations between the UE 115-b and the network entity 105-b may be communicated in a different order than the example order shown, or the operations performed by the UE 115-b and the network entity 105-b may be performed in different orders or at different times. Some operations may also be omitted from the process flow 600, and other operations may be added to the process flow 600.

[0150] At 605, the UE 115-b may receive, from the network entity 105-b, a first control message (e.g., a single RRC IE) that indicates a configuration of a set of one or more parameters applicable to (e.g., applicable to both) a first LP-WUS monitoring technique and a second LP-WUS monitoring technique that is different from the first LP-WUS monitoring technique. In such cases, the set of one or more parameters may be independent of a second set of one or more parameters associated with the one or more DRX cycles.

[0151] In some cases, each LP-WUS of the one or more LP-WUSs may be associated with a LP-WUS MO of one or more LP-WUS MOs. Thus, the set of one or more parameters may include a periodicity associated with the one or more LP-WUS MOs (e.g., LPWUS-SlotPeriodicityAndOffset), a slot offset associated with the one or more LP-WUS MOs (e.g., LPWUS-SlotPeriodicityAndOffsef), an offset associated with the one or more LP-WUSs (e.g., LPWUS-offset), a duration associated with each of the one or more LP-WUS MOs (e.g., LPWUS-duration), or any combination thereof.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO52

[0152] In some examples, the first control message may additionally include one or more indications of the first LP-WUS monitoring technique. In such cases, the one or more indications may include a variable (e.g., LPWUSMO-optiori), where a first value of the variable indicates the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and a second value of the variable indicates the second LP-WUS monitoring technique.

[0153] The first LP-WUS monitoring technique may be associated with one or more of reception of one or more dow nlink messages during one or more active durations of the one or more DRX cycles based on reception of the one or more LP-WUSs (e.g., Option 1-1) or reception of the one or more downlink messages during one or more inactive durations of the one or more DRX cycles based on reception of the one or more LP-WUSs (e.g., Option 1-2). Similarly, the second LP-WUS monitoring technique may be associated with one or more of the reception of the one or more downlink messages during the one or more active durations of the one or more DRX cycles based on reception of the one or more LP-WUSs or the reception of the one or more downlink messages during the one or more inactive durations of the one or more DRX cycles based on the reception of the one or more LP-WUSs.

[0154] At 610-a, the network entity 105-b may output (e.g., transmit), based on the one or more DRX cycles, one or more first LP-WUSs in accordance with the set of one or more parameters and the first LP-WUS monitoring technique. Thus, at 610-b, the UE 115-b may monitor for, based on the one or more DRX cycles, the one or more first LP-WUSs in accordance with the set of one or more parameters and the first LP-WUS monitoring technique. In some cases, the UE 115-b may monitor for the one or more first LP-WUSs in accordance with the first LP-WUS monitoring techniques based on the first control message including the one or more indications of the first LP-WUS monitoring technique.

[0155] At 615, the UE 115-b may receive, from the network entity 105-b, a second control message (e.g., MAC-CE message) indicative of a switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. In some cases, the second control message may be associated with an LCID that indicates the second control message is associated with LP-WUS-based downlink control channel monitoring.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref. No. 2502360WO53

[0156] In some cases, the second control message may indicate the switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique via an indication of which of the first LP-WUS monitoring technique, the second LP-WUS monitoring technique, or both, are activated. For example, the second control message may include a single-bit field indicative of the switch, where a first value of the single-bit field indicates the first LP-WUS monitoring technique is activated, and a second value of the single-bit field indicates the second LP-WUS monitoring technique is activated. In some other examples, the second control message may include a multibit field indicative of the switch. In such cases, a first value of the multi-bit field may indicate the first LP-WUS monitoring technique is activated, a second value of the multi-bit field may indicate the second LP-WUS monitoring technique is activated, a third value of the multi-bit field may indicate both the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique are activated, and a fourth value of the multi-bit field may indicate both the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique are deactivated.

[0157] Additionally, or alternatively, the second control message may indicate the switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique via an indication of a switch from the first LP-WUS monitoring technique to the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. Additionally, or alternatively, the second control message may include an indication of a downlink control channel monitoring duration (e g., LPWUS-PDCCH-timef).

[0158] In some cases, the second control message may include an indication of a validity duration associated with the switch between the first LP-WUS monitoring technique and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique.

[0159] At 620-a, the network entity 105-b may output, based on the one or more DRX cycles, one or more second LP-WUSs in accordance with the set of one or more parameters and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. Thus, at 620-b, the UE 115-b may monitor for, based on the one or more DRX cycles, the one or more second LP-WUSs in accordance with the set of one or more parameters and the second LP-WUS monitoring technique. In such cases, the one or more second LP-WUSs may be monitored (e.g., and transmitted) in accordance with the second LP-WUS monitoring technique based on the second control message indicative of the switch.Attorney Docket No. PY3008.WO (114958.6276)Qualcomm Ref.

[0166] In some examples, the communications manager 720 may be configured to perform various operations (e.g., receiving, obtaining, monitoring, outputting, transmitting) using or otherwise in cooperation with the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or both. For example, the communications manager 720 may receive information from the receiver 710, send information to the transmitter 715, or be integrated in combination with the receiver 710, the transmitter 715, or both to obtain information, output information, or perform various other operations as described herein.

[0175] The communications manager 920 may support wireless communications in accordance with examples as disclosed herein. The configuration component 925 is capable of, configured to, or operable to support a means for receiving a first control message that indicates a configuration of a set of one or more parameters applicable to a first LP-WUS monitoring technique and a second LP-WUS monitoring technique that is different from the first LP-WUS monitoring technique.
