APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR SIGNALING IN POWER SAVE MODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18391037 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR SIGNALING IN POWER SAVE MODE

Simplified Explanation

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.

  • Techniques for signaling in power save mode
