US 11,895,639 B2 · Group-based discontinuous reception alignment

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first network node may receive discontinuous reception (DRX) group information associated with a DRX grouping configuration that enables alignment of access link DRX configurations corresponding to a first set of network nodes and sidelink DRX configurations corresponding to the first set of network nodes, wherein the DRX group information indicates a first group identifier (ID) corresponding to a first DRX group of a plurality of DRX groups associated with the DRX grouping configuration, and wherein the first DRX group includes a first subset of the first set of network nodes. The first network node may communicate, based at least in part on the DRX group information, via at least one of a sidelink or an access link. Numerous other aspects are described.

A method of wireless communication performed by a first network node, comprising:

receiving discontinuous reception (DRX) group information associated with a DRX grouping configuration that enables alignment of access link DRX configurations corresponding to a first set of network nodes and sidelink DRX configurations corresponding to the first set of network nodes, wherein the DRX group information indicates a first group identifier (ID) corresponding to a first DRX group of a plurality of DRX groups associated with the DRX grouping configuration, wherein the first DRX group includes a first subset of the first set of network nodes;
and
communicating, based at least in part on the DRX group information, via at least one of a sidelink or an access link.

A method of wireless communication performed by a first network node of a first set of network nodes, comprising:

receiving an indication of a discontinuous reception (DRX) grouping configuration that enables alignment of access link DRX configurations corresponding to a second set of network nodes and sidelink DRX configurations corresponding to the second set of network nodes;
and
transmitting, to a second network node of the second set of network nodes, DRX group information associated with the DRX grouping configuration, wherein the DRX group information indicates a first group identifier (ID) corresponding to a first DRX group of a plurality of DRX groups associated with the DRX grouping configuration, wherein the first DRX group includes a first subset of the second set of network nodes.

A first network node for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory;
and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive discontinuous reception (DRX) group information associated with a DRX grouping configuration that enables alignment of access link DRX configurations corresponding to a first set of network nodes and sidelink DRX configurations corresponding to the first set of network nodes, wherein the DRX group information indicates a first group identifier (ID) corresponding to a first DRX group of a plurality of DRX groups associated with the DRX grouping configuration, wherein the first DRX group includes a first subset of the first set of network nodes;
and
communicate, based at least in part on the DRX group information, via at least one of a sidelink or an access link.
