Abstract
Methods, computer programs products, and apparatuses for RS availability indication are provided. An example method at a UE may include receiving, from a base station, a PEI comprising a first availability indication for a first set of RS resources in one or more RS occasions. The example method may further include receiving, from the base station, a paging PDCCH comprising a second availability indication for a second set of RS resources in the one or more RS occasions. The example method may further include receiving, from the base station, at least one of the first set of RS resources or the second set of RS resources.
Claims27
An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- receive, from a base station, a paging early indication (PEI) comprising a first availability indication for a first set of reference signal (RS) resources in one or more RS occasions;
- receive, from the base station, a paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) comprising a second availability indication for a second set of RS resources in the one or more RS occasions;
- and
- receive, from the base station, at least one of the first set of RS resources or the second set of RS resources;
- wherein the first set of RS resources is identical to the second set of RS resources, and wherein the first availability indication is associated with a first granularity and the second availability indication is associated with a second granularity, the first granularity being equal to the second granularity.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a paging early indication (PEI) comprising a first availability indication for a first set of reference signal (RS) resources in one or more RS occasions;
- transmit, to the UE, a paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) comprising a second availability indication for a second set of RS resources in the one or more RS occasions;
- and
- transmit, to the UE, at least one of the first set of RS resources or the second set of RS resources;
- wherein the first set of RS resources is identical to the second set of RS resources, and wherein the first availability indication is associated with a first granularity and the second availability indication is associated with a second granularity, the first granularity being equal to the second granularity.
A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, a paging early indication (PEI) comprising a first availability indication for a first set of reference signal (RS) resources in one or more RS occasions;
- receiving, from the base station, a paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) comprising a second availability indication for a second set of RS resources in the one or more RS occasions;
- and
- receiving, from the base station, at least one of the first set of RS resources or the second set of RS resources;
- wherein the first set of RS resources is identical to the second set of RS resources, and wherein the first availability indication is associated with a first granularity and the second availability indication is associated with a second granularity, the first granularity being equal to the second granularity.
A method for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:
- transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a paging early indication (PEI) comprising a first availability indication for a first set of reference signal (RS) resources in one or more RS occasions;
- transmitting, to the UE, a paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) comprising a second availability indication for a second set of RS resources in the one or more RS occasions;
- and
- transmitting, to the UE, at least one of the first set of RS resources or the second set of RS resources;
- wherein the first set of RS resources is identical to the second set of RS resources, and wherein the first availability indication is associated with a first granularity and the second availability indication is associated with a second granularity, the first granularity being equal to the second granularity.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for receiving, from a base station, a paging early indication (PEI) comprising a first availability indication for a first set of reference signal (RS) resources in one or more RS occasions;
- means for receiving, from the base station, a paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) comprising a second availability indication for a second set of RS resources in the one or more RS occasions;
- and
- means for receiving, from the base station, at least one of the first set of RS resources or the second set of RS resources;
- wherein the first set of RS resources is identical to the second set of RS resources, and wherein the first availability indication is associated with a first granularity and the second availability indication is associated with a second granularity, the first granularity being equal to the second granularity.
A base station, comprising:
- means for transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a paging early indication (PEI) comprising a first availability indication for a first set of reference signal (RS) resources in one or more RS occasions;
- means for transmitting, to the UE, a paging physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) comprising a second availability indication for a second set of RS resources in the one or more RS occasions;
- and
- means for transmitting, to the UE, at least one of the first set of RS resources or the second set of RS resources;
- wherein the first set of RS resources is identical to the second set of RS resources, and wherein the first availability indication is associated with a first granularity and the second availability indication is associated with a second granularity, the first granularity being equal to the second granularity.
