  • Patent number: 11812406
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support a reduction in false positive paging. In some implementations, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, at a user equipment (UE) from a base station, a paging downlink control information (DCI). The paging DCI message is encoded to indicate an addressee of a paging message or indicates one or more UEs or a location of radio resources of the paging message in a time dimension, a frequency dimension, or both. The method also includes determining, at the UE, whether the paging message is addressed to the UE based on: an encoding of the paging DCI message, whether the one or more UEs include the UE, or the location of the radio resources of the paging message in the time dimension, the frequency dimension, or both. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

  • Publication number: 20230345473
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) and a network entity may support a configured grant (CG)-specific retransmission timer configuration based on a traffic type to be communicated using a given CG. For example, the network entity may indicate a CG for uplink transmissions and may indicate a retransmission timer that is specific to the CG. As such, the UE may transmit a data message in accordance with the CG and may select a time period during which to monitor a downlink control channel for control information indicating a retransmission request for the data message in accordance with a value of the retransmission timer. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE and the network entity may support a downlink-to-uplink configuration dependency for determining an uplink periodicity of a CG based on a downlink periodicity.

  • Patent number: 11792742
    Abstract: Some techniques and apparatuses described herein permit a user equipment (UE) to transition among different power configurations, which include different values for different power parameters, that impact an amount of power consumed by the UE. In some aspects, these transitions may be signaled by a base station based at least in part on traffic volume for the UE, which may assist with improving throughput and/or extending battery life of the UE. Furthermore, these transitions may be signaled dynamically, such as in downlink control information (DCI) and/or a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) MAC-CE, which may conserve battery power and/or network resources as compared to reconfiguring the UE using an RRC message, and which may allow the UE to be reconfigured quickly as conditions associated with the UE change.

  • Patent number: 11792770
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to support relayed sidelink communications. A first device and a base station may communicate via a communication link including a sidelink link between the first device and a second device and a relay link between the second device and the base station. The base station may determine restrictions for the communication link and transmit an indication of the restrictions over the relay link. The restrictions may differentiate data originating from the first device and the second device, restrict the first device to one or more resources, or associate logical channels at the first device with one or more transport block sizes and communication links. The second device may relay the indication of the restrictions to the first device. The first device, the second device, and the base station may communicate over the communication link according to the restrictions.

  • Patent number: 11792843
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications in a multiple bandwidth part environment are described. In response to a serving beam failure in an active bandwidth part, the UE may determine a level of support provided by the active bandwidth part for a random access procedure, and may determine a contingency (e.g. fallback) bandwidth part that supports the random access procedure. In some cases, the UE may identify the contingency bandwidth as an initial bandwidth part used by the UE for a prior random access procedure. In some cases, the base station may send to the UE, an explicit indication of the contingency bandwidth part. In some cases, the UE may identify the contingency bandwidth part based on a reference signal. Upon determining the contingency bandwidth part, the UE may perform the random access procedure using the contingency bandwidth part.

  • Patent number: 11792671
    Abstract: Processes, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device may monitor a wakeup signal monitoring occasion in an inactive duration of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. The communication device may transmit, in a first active duration of the DRX cycle, a channel state information (CSI) report on one or more resources based on monitoring the wakeup signal monitoring occasion. In some examples, the communication device may transmit an indication that the communication device requests reporting of the CSI report in the first active duration of the DRX cycle. The communication device may, in some examples, receive, in a second active duration of the DRX cycle, control information for the UE based on the CSI report.

  • Publication number: 20230328794
    Abstract: Aspects relate to random access procedures. Different random access channel (RACH) configurations may be defined for different service groups. For example, one or more service groups (e.g., network slice groups) may be defined where each service group includes one or more services (network slices). One RACH configuration may be defined for one service group, another RACH configuration may be defined for another service group, and so on. Each service group may be configured with a different set of RACH parameters. Within each service group, one or more services may be configured with dedicated (e.g., non-cell-specific) RACH resources, and other services may be configured with cell-specific RACH resources. Each service group may be configured with different RACH resources. Within each service group, one or more services may be configured with a set of dedicated (e.g., non-cell-specific) RACH parameters, and other services may be configured with a set of cell-specific RACH resources.
