Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for implementing extended signaling in wireless communications. An example method generally includes generally includes receiving, from a base station, an indication of an ability to support communications using extended signaling not defined by a radio access technology (RAT) standard and a grant of resources sized to accommodate extended signaling from the UE, transmitting, to the base station, an indication that the UE supports communications with the base station using extended signaling, and communicating with the base station using extended signaling. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims28
A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, from a base station, an indication of an ability to support communications using extended signaling not defined by a radio access technology (RAT) standard and a grant of resources sized to accommodate extended signaling from the UE;
- transmitting, to the base station, an indication that the UE supports communications with the base station using extended signaling;
- and
- communicating with the base station using extended signaling.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for receiving, from a base station, an indication of an ability to support communications using extended signaling not defined by a radio access technology (RAT) standard and a grant of resources sized to accommodate extended signaling from the UE;
- means for transmitting, to the base station, an indication that the apparatus supports communications with the base station using extended signaling;
- and
- means for communicating with the base station using extended signaling.
