DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For various reasons, network energy saving and/or network energy efficiency measures are expected to have increased importance in wireless network operations. For example, although New Radio (NR) generally offers a significant energy efficiency improvement per gigabyte over previous generations (for example, LTE), new NR use cases and/or the adoption of millimeter wave frequencies may require further improvements to energy efficiency. Furthermore, even with the improved energy efficiency of NR, energy costs still account for a significant proportion of the cost to operate a wireless network. For example, according to some estimates, energy costs are about one-fourth the total cost to operate a wireless network. The largest proportion of energy consumption and/or energy costs are associated with a radio access network (RAN), with data centers and fiber transport accounting for smaller shares. Accordingly, measures to increase network energy savings and/or improve network energy efficiency are important factors that may drive adoption and/or expansion of wireless networks.

Various aspects relate generally to a cell wake-up signal (C-WUS) associated with a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. Some aspects more specifically relate to contents and formats of a C-WUS to be transmitted by a user equipment (UE) to activate a network node from an inactive or sleep state. In some aspects, a network node may transmit, and a UE may receive, C-WUS configuration information indicating multiple C-WUS formats, with each C-WUS format, of the multiple C-WUS formats, being associated with respective information to be included in the C-WUS transmission.

The UE may transmit, and the network node may receive, a C-WUS associated with a C-WUS format of the multiple C-WUS formats. The C-WUS may include the respective information associated with the C-WUS format. In some examples, the network node may switch from a first network energy state (NES) to a second NES in connection with receiving the C-WUS. For example, the network node may switch from a sleep state or an inactive state to an active state in connection with receiving the C-WUS. In some examples, the UE and the network node may communicate based in part on the respective information included in the C-WUS and associated with the C-WUS format of the C-WUS. For example, the information included in the C-WUS may include information relating to traffic to be transmitted by the UE, an energy state of the UE, a requested time for the UE to receive a system information block type 1 (SIB1), a sidelink scheduling request, beam information, configuration preferences, and/or capability information, among other examples.

Various aspects relate generally to a simplified version of a synchronization signal block (SSB) for network energy savings. Some aspects more specifically relate to contents of the simplified version of the SSB including information about NESS and/or support of a wake-up radio (WUR) of a UE. In some aspects, a network node may transmit, and a UE may receive, a first SSB associated with an NES of the network node. The first SSB may include a first master information block (MIB) indicating first information that is different from second information indicated in a second MIB of a second SSB associated with a second NES of the network node. The UE and the network node may communicate based at least in part on the first information included in the first SSB. In some examples, the first NES may be associated with a reduced power consumption by the network node, as compared to the second NES, and the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include a reduced amount of information, as compared to the second information indicated in the second MIB of the second SSB. In some examples, the first information may include information relating to one or more NESs of the network node and/or information indicating support for low power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) transmission associated with one or more WURs.

Particular aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure can be implemented to realize one or more of the following potential advantages. In some examples, by including, in a C-WUS transmission, information in addition to an indication for the network node to switch to an active mode, the described techniques can be used to decrease signaling overhead between the UE and the network node once the network node receives the C-WUS and switches to an active state. Furthermore, by including information in the C-WUS transmission, instead of communicating the information between the UE and the network node after the network node receives the C-WUS and switches to the active state, the described techniques can be used to decrease latency of traffic (e.g., uplink traffic and/or sidelink traffic) to be transmitted by the UE and/or decrease an amount of time that the network node remains in the active state, thus increasing network energy savings. In some examples, by configuring different C-WUS formats associated with different information to be included in the C-WUS transmission, different C-WUS formats may be used to communicate different sets of information during C-WUS transmission, which may increase flexibility of the information included in C-WUS transmissions, resulting in further decreases in signaling overhead and latency and/or further increases in network energy savings.

In some examples, by transmitting first SSB associated with a first NES that is a different or simplified version of a second SSB associated with a second NES, the described techniques may be used to increase network energy savings in the first NES. In some examples, by including, in the first SSB, information relating to one or more NESs and/or support for LP-WUS transmission associated with one or more WURs, the described techniques may be used to decrease signaling overhead, increase network energy savings associated with the one or more NESs, and/or enable decreased power consumption by a UE using a WUR.

In some aspects, the UE120may include a communication manager140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager140may receive, from a network node, C-WUS configuration information indicating a plurality of C-WUS formats, each C-WUS format of the plurality of C-WUS formats associated with respective information; and transmit, to the network node, a C-WUS associated with a C-WUS format of the plurality of C-WUS formats, the C-WUS including the respective information associated with the C-WUS format. Additionally, or alternatively, as described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager140may receive, from a network node, a first SSB associated with a first NES of the network node, the first SSB including a first MIB indicating first information different from second information indicated in a second MIB included in a second SSB associated with a second NES of the network node; and communicate with the network node based at least in part on the first SSB.

FIG.4is a diagram illustrating an example400of a DRX configuration, in accordance with the present disclosure.

As shown inFIG.4, a network node110may transmit a DRX configuration402to a UE120to configure a DRX cycle405for the UE120. In some cases, the DRX configuration402may be a connected mode DRX configuration (C-DRX) that is provided to the UE120when the UE120is in a connected mode. Furthermore, the DRX configuration402may be specific to the UE120(for example, the network node110may configure separate DRX cycles405for different UEs120). As described herein, a DRX cycle405may include a DRX on duration410(for example, during which a UE120is awake or in an active state) and an opportunity to enter a DRX sleep state415. As used herein, the time during which the UE120is configured to be in an active state (for example, during the DRX on duration410and any time during which a DRX inactivity timer430is running) may be referred to as an active time or a DRX active time, and the time during which the UE120is configured to be in the DRX sleep state415may be referred to as an inactive time or a DRX inactive time. As described below, the UE120may monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during the DRX active time, and may refrain from monitoring the PDCCH during the DRX inactive time.

During each of the DRX on durations410(for example, the active times), the UE120may monitor a downlink control channel (for example, a PDCCH). For example, the UE120may monitor the PDCCH for downlink control information (DCI) pertaining to the UE120. If the UE120does not detect and/or successfully decode any PDCCH communications intended for the UE120during the DRX on duration410(as shown at425inFIG.4), then the UE120may enter the sleep state415(for example, for the inactive time) at the end of the DRX on duration410. In this way, the UE120may conserve battery power and reduce power consumption. As shown, the DRX cycle405may repeat with a configured periodicity according to the DRX configuration.

If the UE120detects and/or successfully decodes a PDCCH communication intended for the UE120(as shown at420inFIG.4), then the UE120may remain in an active state (for example, awake) for the duration of a DRX inactivity timer430(for example, which may extend the DRX active time). The UE120may start the DRX inactivity timer430at a time at which the PDCCH communication is received (for example, in a transmission time interval (TTI) in which the PDCCH communication is received, such as a slot or a subframe). The UE120may remain in the active state until the DRX inactivity timer430expires (as shown at435inFIG.4), at which time the UE120may enter the sleep state415(for example, for the DRX inactive time). During the duration of the DRX inactivity timer430, the UE120may continue to monitor for PDCCH communications, may obtain a downlink data communication (for example, on a downlink data channel, such as a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)) scheduled by the PDCCH communication, and/or may prepare and/or transmit an uplink communication (for example, on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)) scheduled by the PDCCH communication. The UE120may restart the DRX inactivity timer430after each detection of a PDCCH communication for the UE120for an initial transmission (for example, but not for a retransmission). By operating in this manner, the UE120may conserve battery power and reduce power consumption by entering the sleep state415during the DRX inactive time.

FIG.5is a diagram illustrating an example500of cell DRX, in accordance with the present disclosure.

One potential technique to increase energy efficiency in a RAN may be to enable cell DRX. In some aspects, a network node may transmit (for example, to one or more UEs) a cell DRX configuration to configure a cell DRX cycle. The cell DRX configuration may configure time periods in which a network node does not receive transmissions from UEs in the cell, which allows the network node to enter a sleep state. The cell DRX configuration may configure discontinuous transmission (DTX) for one or more UEs in the cell. The cell DRX configuration may also be referred to as a DTX/DRX configuration or a DTX configuration for a UE. The cell DRX configuration may have similar characteristics as a DRX configuration that may be configured for a UE. For example, the cell DRX cycle may include a cell DRX on duration (or active time), during which the network node is awake and in an active state, and a cell DRX off duration (or inactive time), during which the network node is configured to be in a sleep state. The network node may not transmit or receive channels or signals while in the sleep state. For example, the network node may not receive or monitor for uplink channel communications, random access channel (RACH) communications, or uplink reference signals, among other examples, during the cell DRX inactive time.

In some examples, the cell DRX configuration may be activated during times of the day (for example, off-peak times) in which there is no traffic or a light traffic load in the cell. However, the network node may still be required to periodically broadcast signals and/or channels, such as SSBs and system information (SI). Furthermore, the network node may still need to periodically monitor PRACH occasions for possible RACH or small data transmission (SDT) from a UE that is not is an RRC connected mode. All such periodic transmission and monitoring requires the network node to be in the active state, and thus limits network power savings that can be achieved from cell DRX. In some examples, if the network node knows that there are no connected UEs or a light traffic load in the cell, the network node may stop or slow down periodic transmission and/or periodic monitoring to achieve network power savings. However, in some cases, the network node may not be aware of whether one or more UEs need to switch to a connected state (for example, RRC connected mode) or perform some SDT so the network node can transition to the active state. In some aspects, such UEs may proactively wake up the network node by sending a C-WUS. The C-WUS may be a physical layer signal, such as a PRACH or scheduling request (SR).

As shown inFIG.5, the cell DRX cycle may be configured with periodic C-WUS monitoring occasions505that are aligned with cell DRX on durations. The network node may switch to the active state to monitor for a C-WUS during each C-WUS monitoring occasion505. If the network node does not detect a C-WUS during a C-WUS monitoring occasion505(as shown at510inFIG.5), the network node may enter the sleep state (for example, for the inactive time or cell DRX off duration) at the end of the C-WUS monitoring occasion505. A UE may transmit a C-WUS515to the network node during this C-WUS monitoring occasion505. For example, and as shown inFIG.5, the network node may leave the sleep state at the start of the next C-WUS monitoring occasion505. If the network node detects the C-WUS515during the C-WUS monitoring occasion505(as shown at520inFIG.5), the network node may remain in the active state after the C-WUS monitoring occasion505. For example, the network node may remain in the active state for the duration of a timer (for example, a cell DRX inactivity timer), thereby extending the cell DRX active time. The network node may communicate with the UE that transmitted the C-WUS515while the network node is in the active state. For example, the network node may transmit SSBs, a SIB1, and/or serve the UE for uplink data reception, among other examples.

FIGS.6A-6Care diagrams illustrating an example600associated with C-WUS formats and contents for network energy savings, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown inFIG.6A, example600includes communication between a network node110and a UE120. In some aspects, the network node110and the UE120may be included in a wireless network, such as wireless network100. The network node110and the UE120may communicate via a wireless access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink.

As shown inFIG.6A, and by reference number605, the network node110may transmit, and the UE120may receive, C-WUS configuration information. The C-WUS configuration information may indicate multiple C-WUS formats for a C-WUS to be transmitted to wake up the network node110from a sleep state, such as a sleep state associated with a cell DRX cycle. A C-WUS format is a format to be used by a UE (e.g., the UE120) for transmitting a C-WUS to wake up the network node110from a sleep state. A C-WUS may include a C-WUS sequence that indicates that the network node is to wake up from the sleep state and one or more bits of information transmitted in addition to the C-WUS sequence. Different C-WUS formats may correspond to different information to be included in a C-WUS transmissions, in addition to the C-WUS sequence. In some aspects, each C-WUS format, of the multiple C-WUS formats, may be associated with respective information (e.g., a respective set of information) to be included or indicated in a C-WUS associated with that C-WUS format. For example, the information to be included or indicated in a C-WUS associated with a certain C-WUS format may include information relating to uplink traffic in an uplink buffer of the UE120, uplink and/or sidelink traffic statistics associated with the UE120, a scheduling request for a sidelink communication, a SIB1 request, information relating to a positioning or sensing procedure, a channel state information (CSI) report, an energy request associated with energy harvesting, information associated with a WUR of the UE120and/or LP-WUS transmission by the network node110, information associated with configured grant (CG) uplink communications and/or semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) downlink communications, a preferred DRX configuration and/or a preferred DTX configuration, a requested uplink transport block size (TBS) and/or a requested downlink TBS, an indication of an SSB index selected by the UE120, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, the C-WUS configuration information may indicate the respective information (e.g., the respective set of information) associated with each C-WUS format.

In some aspects, the network node110may transmit the C-WUS configuration information via layer 3 (L3), layer 2 (L2), or layer 1 (L1) signaling (for example, in an RRC message, a MAC control element (MAC-CE), or DCI, respectively) to the UE120or to a group of UEs including the UE120. In such examples, the network node110may separately signal the C-WUS configuration information to each UE or group of UEs in the cell. In some aspects, the network node110may broadcast the C-WUS configuration information to UEs in the cell using L1, L2, or L3 signaling. For example, the C-WUS configuration information may be included in an SIB1, a MIB, one or more other SIBs, or a combination thereof (for example, a combination of the MIB and the SIB1). In some aspects, the C-WUS configuration information (or a portion of the C-WUS configuration information) may be indicated in a MIB included in a simplified version of an SSB (e.g., the first SSB described in connection with FIG.7) associated with a certain NES of the network node110, as discussed elsewhere herein.

In some aspects, the C-WUS may be a sequence (for example, a baseband sequence) transmitted by a UE (e.g., the UE120) to wake up the network node110from a sleep state. In some aspects, the C-WUS may be a sequence transmitted via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). For example, the sequence may be transmitted via a PUCCH format 0 communication. In some aspects, a C-WUS associated with a certain C-WUS format may include a sequence transmitted together with a payload that includes the respective information associated with that C-WUS format. In some aspects, a cell-specific sequence may be configured (e.g., indicated in the C-WUS configuration information) for the C-WUS. In this case, C-WUSs associated with different C-WUS formats may include the cell-specific sequence transmitted with different payloads (e.g., different bits representing different sets of information). In some aspects, different C-WUS formats may be associated with different sequences. For example, the C-WUS configuration information may indicate different sequences and/or different cyclic shifts (CSs) for different C-WUS formats of the multiple C-WUS formats.

In some aspects, the C-WUS configuration information may indicate one or more C-WUS monitoring occasions. The C-WUS monitoring occasions may correspond to active times in a cell DRX cycle, during which the network node110may switch from a sleep state to an active state to monitor for C-WUS transmissions. The C-WUS configuration information may indicate respective C-WUS resources associated with each of one or more C-WUS monitoring occasions. In some aspects, different C-WUS monitoring occasions may be configured for different C-WUS formats of the multiple C-WUS formats. In some other aspects, the same configured C-WUS monitoring occasions may be used by the UE120to transmit a C-WUS associated with any C-WUS format. In some aspects, one or more of the C-WUS formats may be associated with multi-stage C-WUS transmission. In this case, each C-WUS monitoring occasion configured for a multi-stage C-WUS transmission may include respective monitoring occasions for each of multiple stages in the multi-stage C-WUS transmission. For example, a C-WUS monitoring occasion may include a first stage monitoring occasion associated with a first stage of the C-WUS transmission and a second stage monitoring occasion associated with a second stage of the C-WUS transmission.

In some aspects, the C-WUS configuration information may indicate one or more C-WUS triggering conditions that trigger the UE120to transmit the C-WUS in a C-WUS monitoring occasion. For example, the one or more triggering conditions may include at least one of an uplink buffer status report (BSR) threshold, an uplink delay status report (DSR) threshold, an energy level threshold, a charging rate threshold, or a discharging rate threshold, among other examples.

In some aspects, the C-WUS configuration information may indicate the multiple C-WUS formats, and each C-WUS format of the multiple C-WUS formats may be associated with a respective set of information. For example, each C-WUS format may be configured with a set of information bits to indicate the respective set of information. In some aspects, the respective set of information associated with each C-WUS format includes information bits in addition to the C-WUS sequence associated with indicating that the network node110is to wake up from the sleep state and remain in the active state. In some aspects, the C-WUS configuration information may indicate the respective set of information associated with each C-WUS format. That is, the C-WUS configuration information may indicate, for each C-WUS format, which information bits are to be included in a C-WUS associated with that C-WUS format. Examples of different information that may be associated with one or more different C-WUS formats are described in greater detail in connection with reference number615. In some aspects, the different sets of information associated with the different C-WUS formats may include different combinations of the information discussed in connection with reference number615

As further shown inFIG.6A, and by reference number610, the UE120may determine a C-WUS format, of the multiple C-WUS formats indicated in the C-WUS configuration information, for a C-WUS to be transmitted by the UE120. In some aspects, the UE120may be configured (e.g., by the network node110) to use a certain C-WUS format of the multiple C-WUS formats. For example, the network node110may transmit, and the UE120may receive, an indication of a C-WUS format of the multiple C-WUS formats indicated in the C-WUS configuration information. For example, the network node110may transmit the indication of the C-WUS format to the UE120or a group of UEs including the UE120(or broadcast the indication of the C-WUS format to all UEs in the cell) via L1, L2, or L3 signaling (e.g., via an RRC message, a MAC-CE, or DCI).

In some other aspects, the UE120may select the C-WUS format, from the multiple C-WUS formats indicated in the C-WUS configuration information, for the C-WUS to be transmitted by the UE120. For example, the UE120may select the C-WUS format based at least in part on the respective set of information associated with the C-WUS format. That is, the UE120may select information to transmit with the C-WUS transmission, and the UE120may select the C-WUS format, from the multiple C-WUS formats, for which the respective set of information includes the selected information to be transmitted with the C-WUS transmission. For example, in a case in which an uplink buffer of the UE120includes uplink traffic to be transmitted by the UE120, the UE120may determine to transmit information relating to the uplink traffic, such as a BSR and/or a DSR, with the C-WUS transmission. In such an examples, the UE120may select, from the multiple C-WUS formats indicated in the C-WUS configuration information, a C-WUS format that includes bits for indicating the BSR and/or the DSR associated with the uplink traffic in the uplink buffer of the UE120.

As further shown inFIG.6A, and by reference number615, the UE120may transmit a C-WUS, and the C-WUS may include the respective information associated with the C-WUS format. The network node110may receive the C-WUS, including the respective information associated with the C-WUS format, transmitted by the UE120. In some aspects, the UE120may transmit the C-WUS in a C-WUS monitoring occasion (e.g., a C-WUS monitoring occasion of one or more C-WUS monitoring occasions indicated in the C-WUS configuration information). In some aspects, the network node110may switch from a sleep state to an active state to monitor the C-WUS monitoring occasions, and the network node110may receive the C-WUS based at least in part on monitoring the C-WUS monitoring occasions. In some aspects, the C-WUS may be associated with a C-WUS format indicated from the network node110, e.g., indicated at605. In some other aspects, the C-WUS may be associated with a C-WUS format selected by the UE120.

In some aspects, the UE120may transmit the C-WUS based at least in part on uplink traffic (or sidelink traffic) to be transmitted by the UE120arriving in an uplink buffer (or a sidelink buffer) of the UE120. For example, the UE120may transmit the C-WUS after the uplink traffic (or sidelink traffic) has arrived in the uplink buffer (or the sidelink buffer). In some aspects, the UE120may transmit the C-WUS in connection with a determination that a triggering condition for transmitting the C-WUS is satisfied. In some examples, the triggering condition may be satisfied in connection with a size of an uplink buffer (e.g., a size or amount of uplink data to be transmitted by the UE120) satisfying a BSR threshold. For example, the UE120may transmit the C-WUS once the uplink buffer is greater than or equal to the BSR threshold. In some examples, the UE120may generate a DSR that indicates a waiting time (Twait) for packets in the uplink buffer of the UE120and the remaining packet delay budget (PDB) for the packets in the uplink buffer of the UE120. In this case, the triggering condition may be satisfied in connection with a determination that the waiting time (Twait), or a comparison of the waiting time (Twait) and the PDB, satisfies a DSR threshold (e.g., equals or is greater than a DSR threshold). In some examples, the triggering condition may be satisfied based at least in part on an energy level (e.g., a power level) of the UE120satisfying an energy level threshold (e.g., the energy level equaling or being greater than the energy level threshold). In some examples, the triggering condition may be satisfied based at least in part on a charging rate of the UE120satisfying a charging rate threshold (e.g., the charging rate failing to exceed the charging rate threshold). In some examples, the triggering condition may be satisfied based at least in part on a discharging rate of the UE120satisfying a discharging rate threshold (e.g., the discharging rate equaling or being greater than the discharging rate threshold).

In some aspects, the UE120may transmit the C-WUS in multiple stages. In some aspects, the information included in the C-WUS (e.g., the respective set of information associated with the C-WUS format of the C-WUS) may be transmitted over multiple C-WUS transmissions in the multiple stages. For example, as shown inFIG.6B, the UE120may transmit, in a first stage, a first stage C-WUS including first information of the set of information associated with the C-WUS format, and the UE120may transmit, in a second stage, a second stage C-WUS including second information of the set of information associated with the C-WUS format. As shown by reference number630, in some aspects, the UE120may transmit the first stage C-WUS in a first stage monitoring occasion of a C-WUS monitoring occasion, and the UE120may transmit the second stage C-WUS in a second stage monitoring occasion of the C-WUS monitoring occasion. In this case, the network node110may monitor the first stage monitoring occasion.

If the network node110receives the first stage C-WUS in the first stage monitoring occasion, the network node110may then monitor the second stage monitoring occasion to receive the second stage C-WUS. If the network node110does not receive the first stage C-WUS in the first stage monitoring occasion, the network node110may refrain from monitoring the second stage monitoring occasion, which may allow the network node110to return to a sleep state prior to an end of the C-WUS monitoring occasion, and thus may increase network energy savings. As shown by reference number640, in some aspects, the UE120may transmit the first stage C-WUS and the second stage C-WUS in back-to-back transmissions (e.g., in consecutive slots and/or symbols) in a C-WUS monitoring occasion. AlthoughFIG.6Bshows examples including a first stage C-WUS and a second stage C-WUS, in some other examples, the UE120may transmit the C-WUS and the information associated with the C-WUS format in a single stage or in three or more stages.

In some aspects, as shown inFIG.6C, the UE120may transmit, in a first stage, an indication of the C-WUS format associated with the C-WUS, and the UE120may transmit, in a second stage (or multiple second stages), the C-WUS including the information associated with the C-WUS format. In some aspects, the UE120may select the C-WUS format from the multiple C-WUS formats indicated in the C-WUS configuration information, and the UE120may indicate, to the network node110, the C-WUS format selected by the UE120via the first stage indication of the C-WUS format. In some aspects, the indication of the C-WUS format transmitted in the first stage may be uplink control information (UCI) indicating the C-WUS format. For example, the UCI may include one bit that indicates a selected C-WUS format of two possible C-WUS formats at a certain time or a certain NES. In this case, the C-WUS configuration information may configure, for different times or NESs, sets of two C-WUS formats that can be used at each time or for each NES, and the UE120may select the C-WUS format from the set of two C-WUS formats configured for the current time or NES. In some other examples, the first stage C-WUS format indication may include multiple bits, to enable the UE120to indicate a C-WUS format selection from a larger quantity of C-WUS formats. In some aspects, the second stage may include a single second stage for transmitting the C-WUS including the information associated with the C-WUS format, or multiple second stages for transmitting C-WUSs including respective portions of the information associated with the C-WUS format (e.g., similar to the first and second C-WUSs transmitted in the first and second stages shown inFIG.6B).

As show by reference number650, in some aspects, the UE120may transmit the indication of the C-WUS format in a first stage monitoring occasion of a C-WUS monitoring occasion, and the UE120may transmit the C-WUS including the information associated with the C-WUS format in a second stage monitoring occasion (or multiple second stage monitoring occasions) of the C-WUS monitoring occasion. In this case, the network node110may monitor the first stage monitoring occasion. If the network node110receives the indication of the C-WUS format in the first stage monitoring occasion, the network node110may then monitor the second stage monitoring occasion to receive the C-WUS and the information associated with the C-WUS format. If the network node110does not receive the indication of the C-WUS format in the first stage monitoring occasion, the network node110may refrain from monitoring the second stage monitoring occasion, which may allow the network node110to return to a sleep state prior to an end of the C-WUS monitoring occasion, and thus may increase network energy savings. As shown by reference number660, in some aspects, the UE120may transmit the indication of the C-WUS format in the first stage and the C-WUS including the information associated with the C-WUS format in the second stage (or in multiple second stages) in back-to-back transmissions (e.g., in consecutive slots and/or symbols) in a C-WUS monitoring occasion.

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS (e.g., transmitted in one or more stages) may include information relating to uplink traffic in an uplink buffer of a UE120. For example, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include an uplink BSR and/or an uplink DSR. Additionally, or alternatively, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include a low-resolution indication associated with the BSR or the DSR. For example, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include an indication (e.g., a one bit indication) of whether a threshold associated with the BSR is satisfied (e.g., a size of the uplink buffer satisfies the threshold associated with the BSR) and/or an indication (e.g., a one bit indication) of whether a threshold associated with the DSR is satisfied (e.g., whether a waiting time, a remaining PDB, or a comparison of the waiting time and the remaining PDB satisfies the threshold associated with the DSR). In this case, the threshold associated with the BSR and/or the threshold associated with the DSR may be based at least in part on configuration information received from the network node110(e.g., indicated in the C-WUS configuration information or other configuration information), an NES of the network node110, or an energy state (or power state) of the UE120.

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include uplink and/or sidelink traffic statistics including one or more traffic types for uplink and/or sidelink traffic or one or more logical channel group (LCG) identifiers (IDs) corresponding to one or more LCGs associated with the uplink and/or sidelink traffic. For example, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include at least one of an indication of one or more traffic types associated with uplink or sidelink packets to be transmitted by the UE120or an indication of one or more LCG IDs associated with the uplink or sidelink packets to be transmitted by the UE120. Additionally, or alternatively, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include timing information associated with the uplink and/or sidelink traffic. For example, the timing information may include at least one of an indication of a remaining PDB associated with a highest priority packet of the uplink or sidelink traffics to be transmitted by the UE120, an indication of a minimum remaining PDB across all of the uplink or sidelink packets to be transmitted by the UE120, or an indication of a highest priority associated with the uplink or sidelink packets to be transmitted by the UE120.

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include a scheduling request for a sidelink communication. For example, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include a bit field for indicating whether the UE120requests a sidelink scheduling request, and the UE120may indicate, in the bit field, a bit value associated with requesting a sidelink scheduling request.

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include a SIB1 request and an indication of a time offset associated with the SIB1 request. For example, the time offset associated with the SIB1 request may be a minimum time offset between the C-WUS transmission and the transmission of the SIB1 by the network node110. In some examples, in a case in which the UE120is an energy harvesting device that charges by harvesting energy from RF signals transmitted by the network node110, the UE120may indicate the minimum time offset, between the C-WUS transmission and the transmission of the SIB1, based at least in part on an amount of time for the UE120(or another energy harvesting device) to charge before receiving the SIB 1.

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include information relating to a positioning or sensing procedure. For example, information included in the C-WUS may include an indication of a positioning or sensing request. In some examples, the information included in the C-WUS may further include an indication of a time offset associated with the positioning or sensing request. For example, the time offset associated with the positioning or sensing request may be a time offset between the C-WUS transmission and a requested start time for a positioning or sensing procedure associated with the positioning or sensing request. Additionally, or alternatively, the information included in the C-WUS may further include (e.g., in addition to an indication of a positioning or sensing request) an indication of at least one of a priority or a latency (e.g., a latency requirement) associated with the positioning or sensing request.

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include at least one of a CSI report for a Uu link (e.g., a link between the network node110and the UE120) or a CSI report for a sidelink (e.g., between the UE120and another UE). In this case, the UE120may buffer the CSI report(s) (e.g., for the Uu link and/or the sidelink) until the C-WUS transmission time (e.g., in the C-WUS monitoring occasion). In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include a power headroom report (PHR) that indicates a PHR associated with the UE120.

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include an energy request associated with energy harvesting to be performed by the UE120. For example, in a case in which the UE120is an energy harvesting device and the network node110supports wireless energy transfer, the UE120may indicate, in the information associated with the C-WUS format, a request for transmission, by the network node110, of a signal to be used for energy harvesting by the UE120.

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include information associated with a WUR of the UE120and/or LP-WUS transmission by the network node110. For example, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include an indication of a configuration of an LP-WUS associated with a WUR of the UE120. In this case, the indication of the configuration of the LP-WUS may indicate a selected configuration (e.g., from multiple LP-WUS configurations) of the LP-WUS to be transmitted by the network node110and received by the WUR (e.g., a low power WUR) of the UE120to wake up a main radio (MR) of the UE120from a sleep state to an active state. Additionally, or alternatively, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include an activation indication associated with a LP-WUS. For example, the activation indication may activate an LP-WUS so that the network node110transmits the LP-WUS based on LP-WUS compatibility of the WUR of the UE120. In some examples, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include configurations for one or more low power synchronization signals (LP-SSs) associated with synchronizing the WUR of the UE120(e.g., synchronizing the LP-WUS to be received by the WUR of the UE120). Additionally, or alternatively, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include configurations for one or more low power reference signals (LP-RSs) for radio resource management (RRM) measurements performed by the WUR of the UE120and/or configurations for one or more preamble signals associated with the WUR of the UE120. In some examples, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include an indication of whether the LP-WUS to be transmitted by the network node110supports SSB configuration for the UE120.

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include information associated with CG uplink communications and/or SPS downlink communications. For example, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include an indication of one or more preferred CG configurations for the UE120and/or an indication of one or more preferred SPS configurations for the UE120. In this case, the information associated with the C-WUS format may indicate a preferred CG configuration or a template of best (e.g., preferred) CG configurations, and/or the information associated with the C-WUS format may indicate a preferred SPS configuration or a template of best (e.g., preferred) SPS configurations. Additionally, or alternatively, the information associated with the C-WUS format may include an activation indication associated with one or more CG configurations (e.g., indicating activation of one or more CG configurations) and/or an activation indication associated with one or more SPS configurations (e.g., indicating activation of one or more SPS configurations).

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include an indication of at least one of a preferred DRX configuration or a preferred DTX configuration. In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include at least one of a preferred uplink reference signal configuration (e.g., sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration) or an indication of a preferred downlink reference signal configuration (e.g., CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration). In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include uplink jitter information (e.g., in a case in which the uplink jitter information is known at the UE120). In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include UE energy information. For example, the UE energy information may include information relating to an energy state of the UE120, such as a current energy state of the UE120and/or a next energy state of the UE120. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE energy information may include other energy information associated with the UE120, such as a charging rate profile of the UE120, a discharging rate profile of the UE120, and/or an energy level profile of the UE120.

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include at least one of an indication of a requested uplink TBS for uplink communications to be transmitted by the UE120or an indication of a requested downlink TBS for downlink communications to be transmitted to the UE120. Additionally, or alternatively, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include an indication of a maximum amount of downlink traffic supported by the UE120in a certain time period following the C-WUS transmission. For example, the UE120may indicate the maximum amount of downlink traffic that the UE120may receive and decode in the time period while also performing energy harvesting from the signals transmitted by the network node110during the time period.

In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include an indication of an SSB index selected by the UE120. For example, the UE120may change an SSB index (e.g., based on SSB measurements performed by the UE120), from a previously indicated SSB index, prior to transmitting the C-WUS (e.g., prior to the DRX active time of the network node110). In this case, the UE120may select a new SSB index, as compared to a latest SSB index indicated by the UE120, and the UE120may indicate the selected SSB index in the information included in the C-WUS to inform the network node110of the selected SSB index (e.g., and the beam information associated with the selected SSB index). In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include an indication of capability of the UE120. In some examples, the indication of the capability of the UE120may indicate a change in the capability of the UE120from a previous indicated capability of the UE120. For example, the capability of the UE120may change between a legacy UE and an enhanced reduced capability (cRedCap) UE, among other examples. In some aspects, the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS may include one or more emergency bits associated with emergency information.

Returning toFIG.6A, and as shown by reference number620, the UE120and the network node110may communicate based at least in part on the C-WUS and the information associated with the C-WUS format and included in the C-WUS. The network node110may switch to (or remain in) an active state responsive to, based on, or otherwise associated with receiving the C-WUS. The UE120may transmit, and the network node110may receive, one or more uplink communications while the network node110is operating in the active state. Additionally or alternatively, the network node110may transmit, and the UE120may receive, one or more downlink communications while the network node110is operating in the active state. In some examples, the network node may transmit SSBs, a SIB1, and/or serve the UE120for uplink data reception, among other examples. In some examples, the network node110may transmit, and the UE120may receive, a simplified version of an SSB (e.g., the first SSB described in connection withFIG.7) associated with a NES of the network node110, based at least in part on the network node110receiving the C-WUS. In some examples, the UE120may communicate with the network node110(for example, via one or more RACH communications) to establish an RRC connection with the network node110.

In some aspects, the network node110may transmit the SIB1 based at least in part on the C-WUS and the information included in the C-WUS. The UE120may receive the SIB 1 transmitted by the UE120. In some examples, the network node110may transmit the SIB 1 based at least in part on information indicated in the C-WUS, such as a SIB1 request and a time offset associated with the SIB request (e.g., a minimum time offset between the C-WUS and the SIB1 transmission). For example, the network node110may transmit the SIB 1 after the minimum time offset indicated in the information included in the C-WUS. In some aspects, the network node110may transmit, and the UE120may receive, one or more downlink communications based at least in part on the information included in the C-WUS. In some examples, the network node110may transmit, and the UE120may receive, one or more SPS downlink communications based at least in part on information included in the C-WUS, such as information indicating one or more preferred SPS configurations and/or activating one or more SPS configurations. In some aspects, the network node110may transmit one or more downlink signals, and the UE120may perform energy harvesting using the one or more downlink signals, based at least in part on information included in the C-WUS, such as an energy request and/or a maximum amount of downlink traffic supported by the UE120in a time period subsequent to the C-WUS transmission.

In some aspects, the network node110may transmit, and the UE120may receive, an uplink grant (e.g., uplink grant DCI transmitted via a PDCCH communication) that schedules one or more uplink communications for the UE120. In this case, the UE120may transmit, and the network node110may receive, the one or more uplink communications scheduled by the uplink grant. In some examples, the network node110may schedule the one or more uplink communications and/or transmit the uplink grant based at least in part on information included in the C-WUS, such as information and/or uplink traffic statistics relating to uplink traffic in an uplink buffer of the UE120(e.g., uplink traffic to be transmitted by the UE120). In some aspects, the one or more transmission parameters (e.g., MCS, TBS, and/or transmission power, among other examples) for the one or more uplink communications may be based at least in part on information included in the C-WUS, such as a CSI report, a requested uplink TBS, and/or uplink jitter information, among other examples. In some aspects, the UE120may transmit uplink data to the network node110in one or more CG uplink communications based at least in part on information included in the C-WUS, such as information indicating one or more preferred CG configurations and/or activation of one or more CG configurations.

In some aspects, the network node110may transmit, and the UE120may receive, sidelink scheduling information that schedules one or more sidelink communications for the UE120. In this case, the UE120may transmit, to one or more other UEs, the one or more sidelink communications scheduled by the sidelink scheduling information. In some examples, the network node110may schedule the one or more sidelink communications for the UE120, determine one or more transmission parameters for the one or more sidelink communications, and/or transmit the sidelink scheduling information based at least in part on the information included in the C-WUS, such as an indication of a scheduling request for a sidelink communication, sidelink traffic statistics associated with sidelink traffic to be transmitted by the UE120, and/or a sidelink CSI report, among other examples.

In some examples, the network node110and the UE120may perform communications associated with a positioning or sensing procedure based at least in part on the information included in the C-WUS. For example, the network node110and the UE120may perform the communications associated with a positioning or sensing procedure based at least in part on an indication of a positioning or sensing request, an indication of a time offset associated with the positioning and sensing request, and/or an indication of a priority or latency (e.g., latency requirement) associated with the positioning and sensing request included in the information included in the C-WUS.

In some aspects, in a case in which the UE120includes a WUR for monitoring for an LP-WUS while an MR of the UE120is in a sleep state, the network node110may transmit the LP-WUS to be received by the WUR of the UE120based at least in part on information associated with the LP-WUS that is included in the C-WUS. Additionally, or alternatively, the network node110may transmit one or more LP-SSs, one or more LP-RSs, and/or one or more preamble signals associated with the WUR of the UE120based at least in part on the information included in the C-WUS.

As indicated above,FIGS.6A-6Care provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect toFIGS.6A-6C.

FIG.7is a diagram illustrating an example700associated with a simplified version of an SSB for network energy savings, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown inFIG.7, example700includes communication between a network node110and a UE120. In some aspects, the network node110and the UE120may be included in a wireless network, such as wireless network100. The network node110and the UE120may communicate via a wireless access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink.

As shown inFIG.7, and by reference number705, the network node110may transmit, and the UE120may receive, a first SSB associated with a first NES of the network node110and including NES and/or WUR information. In some aspects, the network node110may transmit the first SSB associated with the first NES while the network node110is operating in the first NES. The network node110may transmit different SSBs while operating in different NESs. For example, the network node110may transmit the first SSB associated with the first NES while the network node110is operating in the first NES, and the network node110may transmit a second SSB associated with a second NES while the network node110is operating in the second NES. The first SSB associated with the first NES may include a first MIB indicating first information, the second SSB associated with the second NES may include a second MIB indicating second information, and the first information indicated in the first MIB may be different from the second information indicated in the second MIB. In some aspects, the first SSB may be a simplified version of an SSB. For example, the first NES may be associated with reduced network energy consumption, as compared to the second NES, and the first SSB associated with the first NES may be a simplified version of the second SSB associated with the second NES. In this case, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include a reduced amount of information, as compared to the second information indicated in the second MIB of the second SSB. For example, at least a portion of the second information indicated in the second MIB of the second SSB may not be included in the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB.

In some aspects, the first SSB associated with the first NES may include NES information relating to one or more NESs of the network node110and/or WUR information associated with WUR support by the network node110. For example, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include the NES information and/or the WUR information. In some aspects, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include a barring bit. For example, the barring bit may indicate whether a UE (e.g., the UE120) can camp on a cell associated with the network node110(e.g., whether the cell can accept one or more UEs or not). In some aspects, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include one or more emergency bits associated with emergency information. In some aspects, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may indicate one or more C-WUS triggering conditions associated with triggering the UE120to transmit a C-WUS (e.g., as described in connection withFIGS.6A-6C). For example, the one or more C-WUS triggering conditions may include at least one of an uplink BSR threshold, an uplink DSR threshold, an energy level threshold, a charging rate threshold, or a discharging rate threshold, among other examples, to be used by the UE120to trigger transmission of a C-WUS by the UE120.

In some aspects, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include an indication of a current NES (e.g., the first NES) of the network node110and/or an indication of a remaining time in the current NES for the network node110(e.g., in a case the remaining time in the current NES is known to the network node110). In some examples, the UE120may be configured with different RRC configurations associated with different NESs, and the UE120may determine which RRC configuration to use based at least in part on the indication of the current NES and/or the time remaining in the current NES. Additionally, or alternatively, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include an indication of a next NES for the network node110and/or a pattern of NESs (e.g., different NESs at different times) for the network node110. In some aspects, multiple SIB1 formats may be configured per NES, and each SIB 1 format may include different contents from the other SIB1 formats. In this case, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include an indication of a SIB1 format of the multiple SIB1 formats associated with the current NES (e.g., the first NES). In some aspects, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include an indication of a system information change. For example, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may indicate whether system information has changed within a certain time period, and the UE120may obtain the system information in connection with an indication that the system information has changed.

In some aspects, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include an indication of whether the network node110supports LP-WUS transmission (e.g., supports WUR-based communication). Additionally, or alternatively, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include an indication of one or more classes of WUR for which the network node110supports LP-WUS transmission. For example, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may indicate whether the low power signals (e.g., LP-WUSs) used by one or more classes of WUR are supported. In this case, each class of WUR for a UE may be associated with certain signals, waveforms, modulation, interface, sensitivity/coverage, and/or WUS format, among other examples. In some examples, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include, for each of the one or more classes of WUR for which the network node supports LP-WUS transmission, an indication of whether the network node supports transmission of a supported LP-SS, a supported LP-RS, and/or a supported preamble signal associated with the WUR. In some aspects, the indication of WUR support may be based at least in part on the NES of the network node110. For example, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include an indication of whether the network node110supports WUR-based UEs in the current NES (e.g., the first NES) of the network node110. Additionally, or alternatively, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include an indication of whether WUR-based UEs are barred from using the WUR. In this case, an indication that WUR-based UEs are barred may indicate to a WUR-based UE (e.g., the UE120) to stop using the WUR.

In some aspects, the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB may include an indication of whether the network node110supports one or more energy services and/or reading/communication with passive devices, semi-passive devices, active tags, and/or energy harvesting devices.

As further shown inFIG.7, and by reference number710, the UE120and the network node110may communicate based at least in part on the first SSB. For example, the UE120and the network node110may communicate based at least in part on the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB. In some examples, the UE120may communicate with the network node110(for example, via one or more RACH communications) to establish an RRC connection with the network node110based at least in part on the first SSB. In some examples, the network node110may transmit the SIB1 and/or other SIBs including other system information, and the UE120may receive the SIB1 and/or the other SIBs based at least in part on the first information indicated in the first MIB. In some aspects, the network node110may transmit, and the UE120may receive, one or more downlink communications, and/or the UE120may transmit, and the network node110may receive one or more uplink communications. In some aspects, the UE120may communicate with (e.g., receive downlink communications from and/or transmit uplink communications to) the network node110using configuration information (e.g., RRC configuration information) associated with the NES of the network node110based at least in part on NES information included in the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB.

In some aspects, the UE120may use a WUR of the UE120to monitor for an LP-WUS transmission from the network node110to wake up an MR of the UE120based at least in part on WUR and/or LP-WUS information included in the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB. In this case, the network node110may transmit the LP-WUS associated with the WUR of the UE120based at least in part on the WUR and/or LP-WUS information included in the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB. In some aspects, the UE120may transmit a C-WUS to wake up the network node110from a sleep state based at least in part on one or more C-WUS triggering conditions included in the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB. In some aspects, the UE120may perform energy harvesting using downlink communications transmitted by the network node110based at least in part on an indication of support for energy harvesting included in the first information indicated in the first MIB of the first SSB.
