  • Publication number: 20190223086
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for system information delivery. One apparatus includes a processing unit and a transceiver. The processing unit acquires a system information block (“SIB”) for a first cell using an initial active downlink bandwidth part (“DL BWP”) and establishes a radio resource control (“RRC”) connection with the first cell based on the acquired SIB. The transceiver transmits an indication of one or more SIBs necessary for remote unit operation to a network entity, wherein the processing unit switches to a first DL BWP, the first DL BWP being different from the initial active DL BWP.

  • Publication number: 20190223145
    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for reception of a paging message. One apparatus includes a processing unit and a transceiver that receives one or more paging occasion configurations in a system information block. The processing unit determines a paging frame and a paging occasion identity within the paging frame based on at least one of: a UE identity and a discontinuous reception cycle length and selects a paging occasion configuration from the received one or more paging occasion configurations, wherein the selected paging occasion configuration is associated with the determined paging occasion identity. The processing unit also determines a paging slot and a paging symbol within the determined paging slot based on the selected paging occasion configuration and decodes a physical downlink control channel (“PDCCH”) carrying paging downlink control information (“DCI”) on the determined paging symbol within the determined paging slot of the determined paging frame.

  • Publication number: 20160095048
    Abstract: Briefly, the present disclosure is directed to methods and apparatus that allow for the synchronization with, and measurement reporting of, unlicensed frequency carriers. A method and apparatus for synchronizing to an Scell operating on an unlicensed carrier determine, at a UE (108, 116), one or more measurement instances where a discovery signal may be transmitted, for example, by a base station (132), on the Scell from a higher layer configuration message. The method and apparatus may monitor a control channel for a control channel message and determine whether the discovery signal will be transmitted during one or more measurement instances on the Scell. The method and apparatus may detect the discovery signal transmission on the Scell during one or more of the measurement instances. The method and apparatus may also synchronize to and/or measure the Scell based on detected discovery signal transmissions.
