US 12,745,161 B2 · Techniques for pausing small data transmissions

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may pause, while operating in an inactive mode, the performance of one or more small data transmissions (SDTs) in an initial bandwidth part (BWP) in order to monitor for a first set of reference signals in a default BWP. The UE may pause the performance of the one or more SDTs in the first BWP periodically, semi-statically, in accordance with a network trigger, in accordance with the capabilities of the UE, or a combination thereof. The UE may monitor the second BWP for the first set of reference signals, receive the first set of reference signals in accordance with the monitoring, and measure the first set of reference signals. In accordance with the measuring the first set of reference signals, the UE may resume the performance of the one or more SDTs in the first BWP.

Dependent claims

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the user equipment to:
transmit, in an inactive mode, one or more small data transmissions via a first bandwidth part;
receive, in the inactive mode and via the first bandwidth part, a message comprising an indication that the UE is to receive updated system information that corresponds to a second bandwidth part;
and
receive, in the inactive mode and in accordance with the indication that the UE is to receive the updated system information, the updated system information.
