Abstract: A method of UE power profile adaptation to traffic and UE power consumption characteristics based on power profile is proposed. In one preferred embodiment, hybrid of bandwidth part (BWP) and power profile is proposed. UE is configured with multiple BWPs and each BWP includes a set of power profiles. Two types of adaptation triggering can be used, a first type of trigger is based on power saving signals sent from the network, and the second type of trigger is based on timers. When the traffic characteristic for UE changes, the network can send a power saving signal to UE to trigger power profile adaptation, e.g., BWP+power profile switching. When traffic has been digested and becomes sporadic, then power profile adaptation can be triggered based on timers, e.g., a timer for BWP adaptation and another timer for power profile adaptation.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some systems may support wireless communications in high frequency millimeter wave (mmW) bands, such as frequency range 4 (FR4) or other frequency ranges. To support such communications, a base station may dynamically configure a cyclic prefix (CP) length for single carrier waveform communications. The base station may determine the CP length to handle a beam switching delay, a delay spread of a physical propagation channel, or both. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may provide feedback to the base station, and the base station may configure the UE with a CP length based on the feedback. The base station may transmit a configuration message to a UE indicating the configured CP length. A single carrier waveform with the configured CP length may maintain a symbol-level alignment with other supported waveforms, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveforms.
