    Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure provide techniques for signaling in power save mode. In particular, a UE may identify an association between a set of time durations for paging a downlink control indicator (DCI) transmission and a wake up signal (WUS) in a set of WUSs. Paging the DCI is transmitted in a beam sweeping manner and each beam used in each time duration in the set of time durations corresponds to a respective beam used for a WUS transmission in the set of WUSs. The UE monitors a radio link quality of WUSs in the set of WUSs and, based thereon, selects a first WUS in the set of WUSs. The UE identifies a first time duration for DCI page monitoring, the first time duration corresponding to the first WUS. The UE monitors the DCI page during the first time duration.

  • Patent number: 12200732
    Abstract: Systems for providing prioritization of UL transmissions in a UE are described. The prioritization information is used to resolve resource conflicts among UL transmissions that include conflicts between high priority UL transmissions, between an aperiodic-channel state information transmission and a scheduling request, and between a low priority UL transmission and a high priority UL transmission when timeline conditions for multiplexing in a single UL transmission are not met. The prioritization is based on timing and priority of the UL transmissions to determine which of the UL transmissions to transmit and which to cancel. Additional prioritization is based on reception by the UE of a cancelation index or in an additional overlapping high priority UL grant received in a DCI of a PDCCH that overlaps with at least one other PDCCH associated with the UL transmissions.
