US 2020/0029386 A1 · WAKE-UP BEAM MANAGEMENT FOR CONNECTED-MODE DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (C-DRX) OPERATION

Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wake-up signal beam management.

Dependent claims

A method of wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

monitoring for at least one type of beam-swept wake-up signal transmitted from a network entity before an ON period of a connected-mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) cycle;
performing beam measurement of the beam-swept wake-up signal;
and
reporting the beam measurement for use in beam management by the network entity.
