Abstract:
Techniques discussed herein can facilitate communication of group-based WUS(s) (Wake Up Signal(s)) for eMTC (enhanced Machine Type Communication) and/or NB (NarrowBand)-IoT (Internet of Things). One example embodiment is an apparatus configured to be employed in a UE (User Equipment), comprising: a memory interface; and processing circuitry configured to: determine a WUS group of a plurality of WUS groups, wherein the WUS group is associated with a first group WUS (Wake Up Signal) of a plurality of group WUSs; determine a starting subframe for the first group WUS; and monitor the starting subframe for the first group WUS, wherein the UE is configured to communicate via one or more of eMTC or NB (NarrowBand)-IoT.
