  • Publication number: 20240114449
    Abstract: A network node may transmit a first signal to a first radio at a user equipment (UE). The UE may receive the first signal from the network node. The first signal may include a first configuration for a second radio at the UE. The UE may operate the second radio in a first mode based on the first configuration received via the first radio. The first radio may have a lower power consumption than the second radio or the second radio may have the lower power consumption than the first radio. For example, one radio may be a low-power wake-up radio (LP-WUR) having a lower power consumption than a main radio (MR) at the UE. The network node and the UE may communicate with one another via the second radio at the UE based on the first configuration transmitted to the first radio.

  • Publication number: 20240114450
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be instructed to, or may autonomously determine to, extend a monitoring time period (e.g., by extending the on duration to cover more downlink transmissions, or by extending the on duration and continuing to monitor after on durations, or both). In some examples, a wakeup signal (WUS) or a downlink control information (DCI) message may explicitly indicate an amount of time to extend the on duration or inactivity timer (or to pause the inactivity timer). In some examples, the network may configure the UE with a power threshold (e.g., charging rate, discharging rate, energy harvesting rate, current power levels, or power headroom), or a traffic rate (e.g., number of transport blocks per time interval), and the UE may autonomously extend the on duration or timer if its energy levels or traffic rate exceeds the threshold.

  • Publication number: 20240114541
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Sidelink communications between user equipments (UE)s may include services that demand low latency and high reliability, such as extended reality (XR) and ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC). Given the latency demands for XR and URLLC, XR and URLLC may be higher priority than other communications types. A UE may determine that data for transmission over sidelink has a high priority level based on a remaining packet delay budget associated with the data. UEs may monitor for sidelink transmissions in accordance with network configured discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles. The DRX cycles configured by the network for sidelink communications, however, may not match with the periodicity of XR traffic. For XR communications, the transmitting UE may indicate an offset to apply to a DRX cycle such that the receiving UE may adjust the DRX cycle to match the periodicity of the XR communications.

  • Publication number: 20240090018
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may determine, based on a criterion, whether to indicate, to a gNB, that it is a reduced capability (RedCap) UE during or after a random access (RA) procedure, and indicate that it is the RedCap UE during or after the RA procedure according to a determination result. The RedCap UE has a reduced quantity of receive branches or a reduce bandwidth than a non-RedCap UE. The gNB may determine whether a first message received during the RA procedure indicates that the UE is the RedCap UE. When the first message indicates the UE as the RedCap UE, the gNB sends a second message to the UE during the RA procedure using a coverage recovery technique. When the first message does not indicate the UE as the RedCap UE, the gNB determines whether the UE is the RedCap UE after the RA procedure is completed.

  • Publication number: 20240089968
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may support enhanced scheduling request configurations. A user equipment (UE) may obtain, at a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer of the UE, information associated with a data packet for transmission by the UE. The UE may transmit a scheduling request that indicates information regarding an elapsed time period since the information associated with the data packet was obtained at the PDCP layer of the UE, or whether the data packet is a final packet of a set of data packets, or both. A network entity may receive the scheduling request and determine scheduling information for uplink communications by the UE based on the information regarding the elapsed time period, or whether the data packet is the final data packet, or both. The network entity may transmit the scheduling information to the UE.
