LP-WUS Payload Modulation with OOK Overlay Sequences
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing LP-WUS systems face inefficiencies in power consumption due to the need for SD-based receivers to remain active for the entire LP-WUS duration, especially when conveying information over multiple slots, which increases power consumption and complexity.
Innovation Solution
Modulating an overlay sequence with symbols from a constellation, such as M-PSK, to map information bits to OOK symbols, allowing SD-based detectors to decode the payload using fewer symbols and reducing active time.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If SD-based receivers remain active for the entire LP-WUS duration to decode information conveyed over multiple slots, then reliable information decoding is achieved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The LP-WUS signal is segmented into multiple ON durations with overlay sequences, allowing the receiver to process information in discrete time segments rather than continuously. This enables the receiver to wake up for specific durations to decode information and then return to low-power mode, reducing overall power consumption while maintaining decoding reliability through sequential processing of multiple slots.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by including pilot symbols in the ON durations before the actual information transmission. These pilot symbols allow the receiver to estimate channel characteristics and prepare for subsequent decoding operations. By performing this preliminary channel estimation during dedicated pilot periods, the receiver can efficiently decode information in subsequent slots without requiring continuous active state, thus reducing power consumption.
2Productivity
If overlay sequences are modulated with constellation symbols to increase data rate, then information capacity improves, but detector complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses overlay sequences as an intermediary element that is modulated with constellation symbols. The overlay sequence acts as a carrier that enables the transmission of multiple bits per symbol through sequence-based modulation. This intermediary approach allows the receiver to use simple sequence detectors that correlate with the overlay sequence, avoiding the need for complex demodulation algorithms while still achieving high data rates through the modulation of the overlay sequence with constellation symbols.

AI summary
A UE receives a WUS payload having a modulated overlay sequence overlaid on encoding for OOK, where the modulated overlay sequence is formed from the overlay sequence modulated with symbols from a constellation, to map information bits to the symbols. The information bits are at least part of the WUS payload. The UE determines a constant phase error corresponding to ON durations of the OOK and that separates received symbols in phase. The UE determines, using at least the constant phase error, individual received symbols corresponding to individual ON durations of the OOK. The UE determines the symbols that were used to modulate the overlay sequence based on the individual received symbols. The UE determines the information bits corresponding to the determined symbols, and determines at least one result based on the information bits.
