Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for communicating in a wireless communication network are disclosed. For example, one method includes determining, by a first access point, a polling schedule for communicating with one or more wireless stations on a first wireless communication channel, the polling schedule for a second access point on a second wireless communication channel. The method further includes transmitting, by the first access point, on the first wireless communication channel, transmission information to the one or more wireless stations, wherein the transmission information comprises information for the one or more wireless stations to receive a transmission from the second access point on the second wireless communication channel. The method further includes transmitting, by the first access point, on the first wireless communication channel, one or more packets to at least one of the one or more wireless stations in accordance with the polling schedule.
Abstract:
A wireless communications power saving method and apparatus is provided. The method includes, when no reverse link traffic exists and no forward link traffic has been received for a predetermined amount of time, establishing, at a terminal, a reverse link transmission pilot signal duty cycle, and boosting overhead channel signal transmission power during ON slots and gating overhead channel and pilot signal transmission power during OFF slots. The design further includes estimating, at the terminal, an available data transmission rate, determining an actual data transmission rate, setting a terminal transmission duty cycle for a next period based on the estimated available data transmission rate, the actual data transmission rate, and a margin of error, and transmitting data from the terminal according to the terminal transmission duty cycle.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for signaling for transmission configuration indication (TCI) state activation for multiple transmission reception points are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive at least one control message indicating a first set of beam configurations associated with a first downlink shared channel from a first transmission reception point (TRP) and a second set of beam configurations associated with a second downlink shared channel from a second TRP. The UE may receive downlink control information (DCI) from the first and second TRPs indicating a first beam configuration of the first set of beam configurations and a second beam configuration of the second set of beam configurations, respectively. The UE may subsequently decode a first downlink transmission from the first downlink shared channel according to the first beam configuration and a second downlink transmission from the second downlink shared channel according to the second beam configuration.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication by a base station includes configuring a tracking reference signal (TRS) with respect to a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for an idle/inactive mode user equipment (UE). The method also transmits the tracking reference signal and the PDSCH during a paging cycle, in accordance with the configuration. A method of wireless communication by a UE includes expecting a TRS to be received when a PDSCH is received.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a dual connectivity configuration for a plurality of communication links, where at least one communication link of the plurality of communication links includes a sidelink. The UE may transmit a report based on an event associated with the sidelink. In some cases, the UE may determine the event associated with the sidelink based on identifying an activation of the at least one additional sidelink carrier, establishing a relay communication link between the UE and a relay network node, measuring a set of path loss values, determining a minimum path loss value of the measured set of path loss values, determining a backoff value for one or more sidelink carriers, or any combination thereof.
Abstract:
Aspects described herein relate to transmitting, by a device and to a base station, assistance information to facilitate configuring one or more parameters for communicating with the base station, detecting, by the device, that an assistance response signal including the one or more parameters based on the assistance information is not received from the base station within a threshold period of time, degrading, by the device and based on the detecting that the assistance response signal is not received within the threshold period of time, feedback to be communicated to the base station.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first base station for wireless communication, associated with a first radio access technology (RAT), may generate a message to cause a user equipment to wake up from a power saving state or to reconfigure a cycle associated with the power saving state, wherein the message includes an indication that the user equipment is to wake up from the power saving state or to reconfigure the cycle; and/or transmit the message toward the user equipment via a second base station, associated with a second RAT and the user equipment, to cause the user equipment to wake up from the power saving state or reconfigure the cycle. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling from a base station that indicates a multicast or broadcast wake up signal (WUS) format. The UE may receive a multicast or broadcast WUS from the base station during a WUS monitoring occasion of a connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) cycle in accordance with the control signaling. The multicast or broadcast WUS may indicate upcoming transmissions for a set of multicast or broadcast services (MBSs). If, for example, the UE is subscribed to a first MBS from the set of MBSs and the multicast or broadcast WUS indicates an upcoming transmission for the first MBS, the UE may monitor for the upcoming transmission during an active duration of the C-DRX cycle. Otherwise, the UE may enter a sleep mode to conserve power.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine a recommended configuration for a configured grant that is to be received, at least in part, via radio resource control messaging. The UE may transmit, to a base station, one or more messages indicating the recommended configuration for the configured grant at the UE. The one or more messages may include at least one of a configured grant-specific scheduling request or a configured grant-specific control element. In some cases, at least one of the configured grant-specific scheduling request or the configured grant-specific control element may be formatted for association with grants that are received, at least in part, via radio resource control messaging. The UE may receive, from the base station, a configuration for the configured grant based on the recommended configuration.
