Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems (e.g., millimeter wave (mmW) systems) may support user equipment (UEs) operating in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. A UE, in these wireless communications systems, may receive signaling configuring the UE with a set of wakeup grouping sets. Each of the set of wakeup grouping sets may identify a set of groups of one or more UEs. The UE may subsequently receive a wakeup signal during a monitoring occasion for wakeup signals, and determine that the received wakeup signal indicates a group in a wakeup grouping set of the set of wakeup grouping sets that includes the UE. In response, the UE may initiate a wakeup procedure.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving signaling configuring the UE with a plurality of wakeup grouping sets, each of the plurality of wakeup grouping sets identifying a plurality of groups of one or more UEs;
- receiving a wakeup signal during a monitoring occasion for wakeup signals;
- determining that the received wakeup signal indicates a group in a wakeup grouping set of the plurality of wakeup grouping sets, wherein the group includes the UE;
- and
- initiating a wakeup procedure for the UE based at least in part on the determining.
A method for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:
- transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), signaling configuring the UE with a plurality of wakeup grouping sets, each of the plurality of wakeup grouping sets identifying a plurality of groups of one or more UEs;
- determining, for a monitoring occasion, a wakeup grouping set of the plurality of wakeup grouping sets, the determined wakeup grouping set comprising a group that includes the UE;
- and
- transmitting, during the monitoring occasion, a wakeup signal for the group according to the determined wakeup grouping set.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a processor,
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
- receive signaling configuring the apparatus with a plurality of wakeup grouping sets, each of the plurality of wakeup grouping sets identifying a plurality of groups of one or more apparatuses;
- receive a wakeup signal during a monitoring occasion for wakeup signals;
- determine that the received wakeup signal indicates a group in a wakeup grouping set of the plurality of wakeup grouping sets, wherein the group includes the apparatus;
- and
- initiate a wakeup procedure for the apparatus based at least in part on the determining.
