Abstract
A wireless communication method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a radio resource control (RRC) idle/inactive state includes being configured, by a base station, with a layer 1 (L1) signaling for paging early indication (PEI) before a paging occasion (PO), wherein the L1 signaling includes a bits' field consisting of two sets, wherein the first set of bits' field indicates information of UE sub-groups for PO and the second set of bits' field indicates an availability indication of a tracking reference signal (TRS).

A wireless communication method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a radio resource control (RRC) idle/inactive state, comprising:
- being configured, by a base station, with a layer 1 (L1) signaling for paging early indication (PEI) before a paging occasion (PO), wherein the L1 signaling comprises a bits' field consisting of two sets, wherein the first set of bits' field indicates information of UE sub-groups for PO, and the first set of bits' field comprises a bitmap, wherein when the bitmap comprises a first value, the UE monitors the PO, and/or when the bitmap comprises a second value, the UE is not required to monitor the PO;
- wherein the second set of bits' field indicates an availability indication of a tracking reference signal (TRS), and the second set of bits' field comprises bits codes, wherein when the bits codes comprise a first state, the UE is informed with an availability/presence of TRS, and/or when the bit codes comprise a second state, the UE is informed with an absence/unavailability of TRS;
- wherein the L1 signaling of PEI starts with X slot gaps in time domain with the PO, where X is equal to 0 or an integer greater than 0.
A wireless communication method performed by a base station, comprising:
- configuring, to a user equipment (UE) in an RRC idle/inactive state, a layer 1 (L1) signaling for paging early indication (PEI) before a paging occasion (PO), wherein the L1 signaling comprises a bits' field consisting of two sets, wherein the first set of bits' field indicates information of UE sub-groups for PO, and the first set of bits' field comprises a bitmap, wherein when the bitmap comprises a first value, the PO is monitored, and/or when the bitmap comprises a second value, the PO does not need to be monitored;
- wherein the second set of bits' field indicates an availability of a tracking reference signal (TRS), and the second set of bits' field comprises bit codes, wherein when the bit codes comprise a first state, the base station informs the UE of an availability/presence of TRS, and/or when the bit codes comprise a second state, the base station informs the UE of an absence/unavailability of TRS;
- wherein the L1 signaling of PEI starts with X slot gaps in time domain with the PO, where X is equal to 0 or an integer greater than 0.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver;
- wherein the UE in an RRC idle/inactive state is configured to execute a wireless communication method comprising:
- being configured, by a base station, with a layer 1 (L1) signaling for paging early indication (PEI) before a paging occasion (PO), wherein the L1 signaling comprises a bits' field consisting of two sets, wherein the first set of bits' field indicates information of UE sub-groups for PO;
- wherein the first set of bits' field comprises a bitmap, wherein when the bitmap comprises a first value, the PO is monitored, and/or when the bitmap comprises a second value, the PO does not need to be monitored;
- wherein the second set of bits' field indicates an availability indication of a tracking reference signal (TRS), and the second set of bits' field comprises bit codes, wherein when the bit codes comprise a first state, the base station informs the UE of an availability/presence of TRS, and/or when the bit codes comprise a second state, the base station informs the UE of an absence/unavailability of TRS;
- wherein the L1 signaling of PEI starts with X slot gaps in time domain with the PO, where X is equal to 0 or an integer greater than 0.
