Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may operate in different communications profiles associated with different sets of communication parameters that support different threshold throughputs and threshold processing timelines. Use of a set of communication parameters that supports a lower throughput and/or longer timeline may involve lower power usage but longer latency than a set of communication parameters that supports a higher throughput and/or shorter timeline. The UE may transition between use of a higher power, higher throughput mode and a lower power, lower throughput mode based on configured conditions to match different sets of communication parameters to the expected traffic. For example, a network entity may transmit control signaling to a UE that indicates one or more triggering conditions for transition from use of a first mode to a second mode.

Dependent claims

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
a transceiver;
and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and the transceiver, the one or more processors individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the UE to:
receive, via the transceiver, first control signaling that indicates one or more triggering conditions for transitioning by the UE between communication in accordance with a low power, low throughput mode and communication in accordance with a high power, high throughput mode, wherein:
the low power, low throughput mode is associated with a lower throughput, a longer processing timeline, or both;
and
the high power, high throughput mode is associated with a higher throughput that is greater than the lower throughput, a shorter processing timeline that is less than the longer processing timeline, or both;
and
based at least in part on satisfaction of a triggering condition of the one or more triggering conditions,
transition from communication in accordance with the low power, low throughput mode to communication in accordance with the high power, high throughput mode, or
transition from communication in accordance with the high power, high throughput mode to communication in accordance with the low power, low throughput mode.
