Configured grant or semi-persistent scheduling for dormant secondary cell group

A base station of a master cell group (MCG) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• transmit an indication to a secondary node (SN) in a secondary cell group (SCG) that the SCG is to enter an SCG dormant state and an indication to use one or more of configured grant (CG) or semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) for communication in the SCG during the SCG dormant state;
• and
• transmit, to a user equipment, the indication to enter the SCG dormant state and the indication to use one or more of CG or SPS for communication in the SCG during the SCG dormant state based at least in part on receiving an acknowledgement of the indication to enter the SCG dormant state from the SN of the SCG.

A base station of a secondary cell group (SCG) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• receive an indication that the SCG is to enter an SCG dormant state and an indication for using one or more of configured grant (CG) or semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) for communication with a user equipment (UE) during the SCG dormant state;
• and
• communicate with the UE during the SCG dormant state using the one or more of CG or SPS.
