Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for transmission of idle mode requests using random access techniques, and for identifying a response window for a response to idle mode requests. A user equipment (UE) may transmit an idle mode request using random access channel resources, and the response window may be longer than a response window associated with a random access procedure for initial system access. The response window may be determined based at least in part on a base station that is to provide the response to the idle mode request.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- transmitting an idle mode request to a first base station using uplink random access channel resources;
- identifying a response window for monitoring for a response to the idle mode request based at least in part on a request type of the idle mode request, wherein the response window comprises a first response window associated with a first request type or a second response window associated with a second request type;
- and
- monitoring downlink random access channel resources for the response to the idle mode request based at least in part on the identifying.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, at a first base station, an idle mode request from a user equipment (UE) via uplink random access channel resources;
- identifying a second base station that is to provide information for a response to the idle mode request based at least in part on a request type of the idle mode request;
- and
- coordinating, responsive to the identifying, with the second base station to provide the response to the idle mode request.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a processor,
- memory coupled to the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
- transmit an idle mode request to a first base station using uplink random access channel resources;
- identify a response window for monitoring for a response to the idle mode request based at least in part on a request type of the idle mode request, wherein the response window comprises a first response window associated with a first request type or a second response window associated with a second request type;
- and
- monitor downlink random access channel resources for the response to the idle mode request based at least in part on the identifying.
