Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to receiving, via a first cell, first system information (SI) comprising an indication of a neighboring cell in an energy saving state, and transmitting a request signal to the neighboring cell. Aspects of the present disclosure may relate to receiving, from the neighboring cell, an on-demand system information block (SIB) transmission comprising essential SI for the neighboring cell, where the essential SI comprises a master information block (MIB) for the neighboring cell, or a SIB type 1 (SIB1) for the neighboring cell, or a combination thereof.
Claims20
A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:
- receive, via a first cell, first system information (SI) comprising an indication of a neighboring cell in an energy saving state;
- transmit a request signal to the neighboring cell;
- and
- receive, from the neighboring cell, an on-demand system information block (SIB) transmission comprising essential SI for the neighboring cell,
- wherein the essential SI comprises a master information block (MIB) for the neighboring cell, or a SIB type 1 (SIB1) for the neighboring cell, or a combination thereof.
A processor for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:
- receive, via a first cell, first system information (SI) comprising an indication of a neighboring cell in an energy saving state;
- transmit a request signal to the neighboring cell;
- and
- receive, from the neighboring cell, an on-demand system information block (SIB) transmission comprising essential SI for the neighboring cell,
- wherein the essential SI comprises a master information block (MIB) for the neighboring cell, or a SIB type 1 (SIB1) for the neighboring cell, or a combination thereof.
A base station for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the base station to:
- transmit, via a first cell, first system information (SI) comprising an indication of a neighboring cell in an energy saving state;
- receive a request signal via the neighboring cell;
- and
- transmit, via the neighboring cell, an on-demand system information block (SIB) transmission comprising essential SI for the neighboring cell,
- wherein the essential SI comprises a master information block (MIB) for the neighboring cell, or a SIB type 1 (SIB1) for the neighboring cell, or a combination thereof.
A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:
- transmitting, via a first cell, first system information (SI) comprising an indication of a neighboring cell in an energy saving state;
- receiving a request signal via the neighboring cell;
- and
- transmitting, via the neighboring cell, an on-demand system information block (SIB) transmission comprising essential SI for the neighboring cell,
- wherein the essential SI comprises a master information block (MIB) for the neighboring cell, or a SIB type 1 (SIB1) for the neighboring cell, or a combination thereof.
