US 12,192,239 B2 · Physical layer security activation

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling identifying a configuration of a set of time intervals for communication with the base station, the set of time intervals including a subset of the time intervals for which the UE is to perform a physical layer security procedure. In some cases, the UE may activate a timer associated with performing the physical layer security procedure in response to a trigger. The UE and the base station may communicate one or more messages using the physical layer security procedure, for example, in the subset of the time intervals identified by the control signaling, while the timer is active, or both. The physical layer security procedure may involve the UE performing physical layer security encoding, signal jamming, or both.

Dependent claims

A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving control signaling identifying a configuration of a set of time intervals for communication with a base station, the set of time intervals including a subset of time intervals for which the UE is to perform a physical layer security procedure;
activating a timer associated with performing the physical layer security procedure;
and
communicating, via the subset of time intervals, one or more messages using the physical layer security procedure based at least in part on the timer being active for the subset of time intervals.

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communications, comprising:

memory;
and
one or more processors coupled with the memory and configured to cause the UE to:
receive control signaling identifying a configuration of a set of time intervals for communication with a base station, the set of time intervals including a subset of time intervals for which the UE is to perform a physical layer security procedure;
activate a timer associated with performing the physical layer security procedure;
and
communicate, via the subset of time intervals, one or more messages using the physical layer security procedure based at least in part on the timer being active for the subset of time intervals.
