  • Publication number: 20240114517
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information with a value in an information element that is associated with identifying an offset between a first downlink slot in which the downlink control information is received and a second downlink slot in which shared channel data is scheduled. The UE may communicate data after a duration associated with the value in the information element and without monitoring for a physical downlink control channel communication during the duration. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11950284
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine a mapping between synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) and a random access message of a two-step random access procedure based on an indication in system information signaling or radio resource control (RRC) signaling. The random access message may include a random access preamble and a random access payload. The UE may determine, based on the mapping, an association between one or more beams carrying the SSBs and one or more additional beams carrying the random access preamble and the random access payload of the random access message. As a result, the UE may perform the two-step random access procedure with a base station according to the beam association, and coexist with a four-step random access procedure in a more reliable and efficient manner.
