Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to mobility techniques that allow for beam-specific paging in wireless communication systems. An example method generally includes transmitting, to a network entity, an indication of a mobility state of the UE, wherein the indication is transmitted based on a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with a selected beam direction; and monitoring paging occasions for paging sent using a beam that is quasi-colocated with the selected beam direction associated with the SSB.
Claims30
A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting, to a network entity, an indication of a mobility state of the UE, wherein the indication is transmitted based on a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with a selected beam direction;
- and
- monitoring paging occasions for paging sent using a beam that is quasi-colocated with the selected beam direction associated with the SSB.
A method for wireless communications by a network entity, comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), an indication of a mobility state of the UE, wherein the indication is received based on a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with a selected beam direction;
- receiving, from a core network entity, a paging notification message indicating that paging is awaiting transmission to the UE and an indication that the UE supports beam-specific paging;
- and
- transmitting the page to the UE on a beam quasi-colocated with the selected beam direction associated with the SSB.
A method for wireless communications by a core network entity, comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a registration request including an indication that the UE supports beam-specific paging;
- and
- transmitting, to a network entity serving the UE, a paging notification message indicating that paging is awaiting transmission to the UE, wherein the paging notification message includes the indication that the UE supports beam-specific paging to trigger the network entity to transmit the paging on a specific beam.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory having executable instructions stored thereon;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the executable instructions to cause the apparatus to:
- transmit, to a network entity, an indication of a mobility state of a user equipment (UE), wherein the indication is transmitted based on a synchronization signal block (SSB) associated with a selected beam direction;
- and
- monitor paging occasions for paging sent using a beam that is quasi-colocated with the selected beam direction associated with the SSB.
