Event trigger for independent links
Various aspects of the disclosure relate to event triggers for independent links. For example, an event trigger may be based on measurements from multiple links. In some aspects, the independent links may involve a first device (e.g., a user equipment) communicating via different independent links with different devices (e.g., transmit receive points (TRPs) or sets of TRPs). For example, the first device may communicate with a second device (e.g., a TRP) via a first link and communicate with a third device (e.g., a TRP) via a second link. In some scenarios, an event trigger may be based on aggregated measurements from multiple links.
1. A method of communication for an apparatus, comprising:
by a user equipment:
obtaining first reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement information for a first beam of a first beamformed wireless communication link;
obtaining second reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement information for a second beam of a second beamformed wireless communication link;
determining whether a threshold has been satisfied using the first RSRP measurement information for the first beam of the first beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment, and the second RSRP measurement information for the second beam of the second beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment; and
generating an event trigger based on the determination of whether the threshold has been satisfied that used the first RSRP measurement information for the first beam of the first beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment, and the second RSRP measurement information for the second beam of the second beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
by the user equipment:
communicating first transport blocks via the first beam of the first wireless beamformed communication link,
wherein the first transport blocks are processed independently of second transport blocks communicated via the second beam of the second beamformed wireless communication link.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein error processing of the first transport blocks is independent of error processing of the second transport blocks.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein cyclic redundancy check (CRC) processing of the first transport blocks is independent of CRC processing of the second transport blocks.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
by the user equipment:
communicating on the first beamformed wireless communication link using a first radio frequency (RF) chain of the apparatus; and
communicating on the second beamformed wireless communication link using a second RF chain of the apparatus.
6. A user equipment, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor and the memory are configured to:
obtain first reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement information for a first beam of a first beamformed wireless communication link;
obtain second reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement information for a second beam of a second beamformed wireless communication link;
determine whether a threshold has been satisfied using the first RSRP measurement information for the first beam of the first beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment, and the second RSRP measurement information for the second beam of the second beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment; and
generate an event trigger based on the determination of whether the threshold has been satisfied that used the first RSRP measurement information for the first beam of the first beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment, and the second RSRP measurement information for the second beam of the second beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment.
7. A user equipment, comprising:
means for obtaining first reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement information for a first beam of a first wireless communication link;
means for obtaining second reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement information for a second beam of a second wireless communication link;
means for determining whether a threshold has been satisfied using the first RSRP measurement information for the first beam of the first beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment, and the second RSRP measurement information for the second beam of the second beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment; and
means for generating an event trigger based on the determination of whether the threshold has been satisfied that used the first RSRP measurement information for the first beam of the first beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment, and the second RSRP measurement information for the second beam of the second beamformed wireless communication link, which was obtained by the user equipment.
