Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus identifies first entity and transmits a very low duty cycle signal (LDCS) configuration of the first entity. The apparatus may comprise, e.g., an LPN that is not in a dormant state or a macrocell. The apparatus may receive LDCS information for the first entity. The apparatus may determine the LDCS configuration and transmit the LDCS configuration to the first entity.
Claims28
A method of wireless communication of a very low duty cycle signal (LDCS) configuration for a first entity from a second entity to a user equipment (UE), the first entity transmitting on a first frequency and the second entity being different than the first entity and transmitting on a second frequency, comprising:
- identifying a first entity;
- transmitting, from the second entity to the UE, an LDCS configuration of the first entity, wherein the LDCS configuration is different than a configuration of an active mode signal of the first entity;
- and
- transmitting a Random Access Channel (RACH) configuration relating to the LDCS for the first entity to the UE.
An apparatus for wireless communication of a very low duty cycle signal (LDCS) configuration for a first entity from a second entity to a user equipment (UE), the first entity transmitting on a first frequency and the second entity being different than the first entity and transmitting on a second frequency, the apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving LDCS information for a first entity;
- and
- means for transmitting, from the second entity to the UE, an LDCS configuration of the first entity, wherein the LDCS configuration is different than a configuration of an active mode signal of the first entity;
- wherein the means for transmitting transmit a Random Access Channel (RACH) configuration relating to the LDCS for the first entity to the UE.
An apparatus for wireless communication of a very low duty cycle signal (LDCS) configuration for a first entity from a second entity to a user equipment (UE), the first entity transmitting on a first frequency and the second entity being different than the first entity and transmitting on a second frequency, the apparatus comprising:
- a processing system comprising memory and at least one processor configured to:
- identify a first entity;
- transmit, from the second entity to the UE, an LDCS configuration of the first entity,
- wherein the LDCS configuration is different than a configuration of an active mode signal of the first entity;
- and
- transmit a Random Access Channel (RACH) configuration relating to the LDCS for the first entity to the UE.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for wireless communication of a very low duty cycle signal (LDCS) configuration for a first entity from a second entity to a user equipment (UE), the first entity transmitting on a first frequency and the second entity being different than the first entity and transmitting on a second frequency, comprising code for:
- identifying a first entity;
- transmitting, from a second entity to the UE, an LDCS configuration of the first entity,
- wherein the LDCS configuration is different than a configuration of an active mode signal of the first entity;
- and
- transmitting a Random Access Channel (RACH) configuration relating to the LDCS for the first entity to the UE.
