US 2022/0070776 A1 · METHODS AND SYSTEM FOR FORWARD LINK POWER SAVING IN A STAR TOPOLOGY OF USER EQUIPMENT

Abstract

Wireless communications systems and methods related to power saving over a forward link of a star topology of user equipment (UE) are provided. In some aspects, a first UE may monitor the forward link connecting a second UE to the first UE for a control message transmitted by the second UE to the first UE. The first UE may then establish an operational mode based on the result of the monitoring for the control message, such as but not limited to a power saving mode or an active mode.

Claims30

Dependent claims

A method of wireless communication performed by a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

monitoring, for a first duration, a forward link connecting a second UE to the first UE for a control message transmitted by the second UE to the first UE;
and
establishing an operational mode based on a result of the monitoring for the control message.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
