Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an ambient Internet-of-Things (IoT) device may receive configuration information indicating resources associated with an uplink trigger message that initiates a communication session between the ambient IoT device and a network device. The ambient IoT device may transmit the uplink trigger message to the network device using the resources associated with the uplink trigger message. Numerous other aspects are described.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication performed by an ambient Internet-of-Things (IoT) device, comprising:
- receiving configuration information indicating resources associated with an uplink trigger message that initiates a communication session between the ambient IoT device and a network device, wherein the resources associated with the uplink trigger message are associated with a frame structure that includes:
- a first slot associated with resources associated with a physical broadcast channel (PBCH);
- a second slot after the first slot, the second slot associated with resources associated with a primary synchronization signal (PSS);
- and
- a third slot after the second slot, the third slot associated with the resources associated with the uplink trigger message;
- and
- transmitting the uplink trigger message to the network device using the resources associated with the uplink trigger message.
A method of wireless communication performed by a network device, comprising:

- and
- a third slot after the second slot, the third slot associated with the resources associated with the uplink trigger message;
- and
- receiving, from the ambient IoT device, the uplink trigger message using the resources associated with the uplink trigger message.
An ambient Internet-of-Things (IoT) device for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more memories storing instructions configurable to be executed by the one or more processors to cause the ambient IoT device to:
- receive configuration information indicating resources associated with an uplink trigger message that initiates a communication session between the ambient IoT device and a network device, wherein the resources associated with the uplink trigger message are associated with a frame structure that includes:
- a first slot associated with resources associated with a physical broadcast channel (PBCH);
- a second slot after the first slot, the second slot associated with resources associated with a primary synchronization signal (PSS);
- and
- a third slot after the second slot, the third slot associated with the resources associated with the uplink trigger message;
- and
- transmit the uplink trigger message to the network device using the resources associated with the uplink trigger message.
