Abstract

Wireless communication techniques using a power saving mode are described. A wireless device may be configured with a plurality of power saving configurations. A base station may transmit an indication of a power saving configuration in the plurality of power saving configurations. The wireless device may monitor a power saving channel based on the indicated power saving configuration.

Claims (96)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more messages comprising information indicating a plurality of power saving channels associated with a plurality of power saving configurations;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) indicating activation of a first power saving configuration, of the plurality of power saving configurations, for a cell;

monitoring, based on activation of the first power saving configuration, a power saving channel, of the plurality of power saving channels, corresponding to the first power saving configuration;

receiving, via the power saving channel, a wake-up indication; and

monitoring, based on the receiving the wake-up indication, a downlink control channel of the cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the DCI further indicates a bandwidth part of the cell, and

the monitoring the power saving channel comprises monitoring the power saving channel on the bandwidth part of the cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the one or more messages comprise information associated with the first power saving configuration, wherein the information associated with the first power saving configuration comprises at least one of:

a periodicity of the power saving channel,

a duration of the power saving channel,

a number of resource blocks in a frequency domain,

a bandwidth part indicator indicating a bandwidth of the cell,

a search space set, or

a control resource set; and

the monitoring the power saving channel is based on at least one of the information associated with the first power saving configuration.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, based on receiving a second message, that a beam failure recovery procedure is ongoing on the cell; and

based on the determining that a beam failure recovery procedure is ongoing on the cell:

continuing the beam failure recovery procedure, and

delaying adjusting the cell into a power saving state.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, via the monitored downlink control channel, a downlink assignment; and

receiving, based on the downlink assignment, downlink transport blocks.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, via the monitored downlink control channel, an uplink grant; and

transmitting, based on the uplink grant, uplink transport blocks.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring the power saving channel comprises monitoring a control resource set, for the power saving channel, indicated by one or more parameters of the first power saving configuration.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI comprises:

a first field that indicates the first power saving configuration of the plurality of power saving configurations; and

a second field that indicates the cell.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, based on receiving the DCI, at least one of:

stopping a secondary cell deactivation timer of the cell, or

stopping a bandwidth part inactivity timer of an active bandwidth part of the cell.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more messages further comprise information indicating that the plurality of power saving channels respectively correspond to the plurality of power saving configurations.

11. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more messages comprising information indicating a plurality of power saving channels associated with a plurality of power saving configurations;

monitoring, based on downlink control information (DCI) that indicates activation of a first power saving configuration, of the plurality of power saving configurations, for a cell, a power saving channel, of the plurality of power saving channels, corresponding to the first power saving configuration;

receiving, via the power saving channel, a wake-up indication of the cell; and

based on receiving the wake-up indication, monitoring a downlink control channel of the cell.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving the DCI, wherein the DCI comprises:

a first field that indicates the first power saving configuration of the plurality of power saving configurations; and

a second field that indicates the cell.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the one or more messages comprise information associated with the first power saving configuration, wherein the information associated with the first power saving configuration comprises at least one of:

a periodicity of the power saving channel,

a duration of the power saving channel,

a number of resource blocks in a frequency domain,

a bandwidth part indicator indicating a bandwidth of the cell,

a search space set, or

a control resource set; and

the monitoring the power saving channel is based on at least one of the information associated with the first power saving configuration.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

based on a determination that a beam failure recovery procedure is ongoing on the cell:

continuing the beam failure recovery procedure, and

delaying adjusting the cell into a power saving state.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, via the downlink control channel of the cell, a downlink assignment; and

receiving, based on the downlink assignment, downlink transport blocks.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, via the downlink control channel of the cell, an uplink grant; and

transmitting, based on the uplink grant, uplink transport blocks.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the monitoring the downlink control channel of the cell comprises monitoring the downlink control channel of the cell for:

a downlink assignment; or

an uplink grant.

18. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more first messages comprising information indicating a plurality of power saving channels associated with a plurality of power saving configurations;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) comprising an indication indicating activation of a first power saving configuration, of the plurality of power saving configurations, for a cell;

monitoring, based on activation of the first power saving configuration, a power saving channel, of the plurality of power saving channels, corresponding to the first power saving configuration; and

receiving, via the power saving channel, a wake-up indication that indicates monitoring a downlink control channel of the cell.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein:

the one or more first messages comprise information associated with the first power saving configuration, wherein the information associated with the first power saving configuration comprises at least one of:

a periodicity of the power saving channel,

a duration of the power saving channel,

a number of resource blocks in a frequency domain,

a bandwidth part indicator indicating a bandwidth of the cell,

a search space set, or

a control resource set; and

the monitoring the power saving channel is based on at least one of the information associated with the first power saving configuration.

20. The method of claim 18 , further comprising:

based on a determination that a beam failure recovery procedure is ongoing on the cell:

continuing the beam failure recovery procedure, and

delaying adjusting the cell into a power saving state.

21. The method of claim 18 , further comprising:

receiving, via the monitored downlink control channel, a downlink assignment; and

receiving, based on the downlink assignment, downlink transport blocks.

22. The method of claim 18 , further comprising:

receiving, via the monitored downlink control channel, an uplink grant; and

transmitting, based on the uplink grant, uplink transport blocks.

23. The method of claim 18 , further comprising, based on receiving the DCI, at least one of:

stopping a secondary cell deactivation timer of the cell, or

stopping a bandwidth part inactivity timer of an active bandwidth part of the cell.

24. The method of claim 18 , wherein the monitoring the power saving channel comprises monitoring a control resource set, for the power saving channel, indicated by one or more parameters of the first power saving configuration.
