Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to communication systems, and more particularly, to interpreting a timing advance (TA) command for members of a timing advance group (TAG), such as different uplink component carriers and/or different bandwidth parts, having different numerologies, such as different subarrier spacing (SCS). A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a base station (BS), a TA command. The UE interprets the TA command differently for different members of a same TAG, associated with different numerologies. The UE applies a timing adjustment when transmitting an uplink transmission to the BS based, at least in part, on the interpretation.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, a base station, a user equipment (UE), and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The base station may encode a wakeup signal so that a preamble of the wakeup signal indicates whether the wakeup signal is relevant to the UE. The UE may select a technique for detecting the wakeup signal based at least in part on a partial, full, or no synchronization. In some aspects, the wakeup signal may be encoded with a system frame number. In some aspects, wakeup signals for guardband/standalone UEs are provided. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for multiplexing downlink control information (DCI) signals for multiple user equipments (UEs) at an aggregation level (AL) by coding the DCI signals together in a control channel and transmitting the control channel. In an exemplary method, a BS multiplexes a first plurality of downlink control information (DCI) signals for a first plurality of user equipments (UEs) at a first aggregation level (AL) coded together in a first control channel and transmits the control channel.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, configuration information indicating a wake-up signal (WUS) configuration associated with a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, wherein the WU'S configuration indicates one or more WUS occasions. The UE may identify one or more conditions. The UE may refrain from monitoring at least one WUS occasion, from the one or more WUS occasions, based at least in part on the identification of the one or more conditions. The UE may monitor one or more resources during an on duration associated with the DRX cycle. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a reference signal or channel conveying a paging indicator. The UE may determine, based on the paging indicator, whether to monitor a paging control channel including a scheduling grant for a paging shared channel communication. The UE may estimate time or frequency information for receiving the paging control channel based at least in part on a result of the determining, and receiving the paging control channel containing based at least in part on the result of the determining and the estimated time or frequency information, or skipping monitoring the paging control channel based at least in part on the result of the determining. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to methods and apparatus for downlink control information (DCI) communication and processing. One example method generally includes determining a limit, between a transmission time of a control channel carrying a DCI of a plurality of DCI and a time of an event enabled by the DCI, of a quantity of the plurality of DCI in a frame, generating a frame comprising the plurality of DCI in accordance with the determined limit, and transmitting the frame to a user-equipment (UE).
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication of an apparatus, e.g., a UE and/or a base station. In one aspect, the apparatus may receive, from a base station, at least one SSB. The apparatus may also determine a RSRP of the at least one SSB. Additionally, the apparatus may transmit, to the base station if the RSRP of all of the at least one SSB is less than a threshold, an indication of a reduced UE capability of the UE during a RACH procedure. The apparatus may also transmit, to the base station if the RSRP of one of the at least one SSB is greater than or equal to the threshold, the indication of the reduced UE capability of the UE after entering into a RRC connected state upon completion of the RACH procedure.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for PEI location determination. According to certain aspects, a method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving, from a network entity, a configuration of a paging early indication (PEI) that indicates, for multiple paging occasions (POs) in multiple paging frames (PFs), whether paging physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) are scheduled in the multiple POs, identifying a reference PF from one of the multiple PFs, and monitoring for the PEI in a location of a PEI occasion determined based on the reference PF and at least one timing offset.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for configuring and signaling repetition transmissions of broadcast system information on downlink (DL) channels. In some implementations, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of a repetition configuration for broadcast information carried on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), may identify a number of slots configured to carry the broadcast information on the PDSCH based at least in part on the repetition configuration, and may receive the broadcast information carried on the PDSCH in the number of identified slots.
Abstract:
A reduced-capability user equipment (UE) uses frequency hopping to improve downlink (DL) coverage. Specifically, the UE may receive a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) using frequency hopping among a plurality of narrow hands in a wide bandwidth part. A bandwidth of narrow band is not larger than a maximum wireless communication bandwidth of the UE.
