Base station, user equipment, and related methods
View Patent ↗The present disclosure provides a method used in user equipment (UE). The method comprises: determining a time-domain position of physical wake-up signaling, the physical wake-up signaling being used for waking up the UE to detect a subsequent narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH); and detecting the physical wake-up signaling from a base station at the determined time-domain position, wherein the determining a time-domain position comprises: determining a start subframe or an end subframe for the physical wake-up signaling and the number of subframes for the physical wake-up signaling.
1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a detection unit configured to detect a wake-up signaling (WUS) transmitted by a base station within a WUS duration, the WUS being a signal for causing the UE to monitor a paging occasion (PO) for detecting a paging message;
a determination unit configured to, when the UE detects the WUS within the WUS duration, determine the PO based on a time-offset; and
a monitoring unit configured to monitor the PO for detecting the paging message, wherein:
the PO follows the WUS duration in a time-domain position and the time-offset is in subframes between an end of the WUS duration and a start of the PO,
the WUS duration starts in a specific subframe,
the WUS duration is a number of subframes, and
the time-offset is configured by system information, which is transmitted from the base station to the UE.
2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the WUS duration is derived by a maximum number of repetitions fora Narrowband Physical Downlink Control channel (NPDCCH) for paging.
3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein one or more POs are configured for the WUS by the system information.
4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the WUS and the PO are on a same Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) carrier.
5. A base station, comprising:
a transmission unit configured to transmit a wake-up signaling (WUS) within a WUS duration to a user equipment (UE), the WUS being a signal for causing the UE to monitor a paging occasion (PO) for detecting a paging message; and
a determination unit configured to determine the PO based on a time-offset, wherein:
the PO follows the WUS duration in a time-domain position and the time-offset is in subframes between an end of the WUS duration and a start of the PO,
the WUS duration starts in a specific subframe,
the WUS duration is a number of subframes, and
the time-offset is configured by system information, which is transmitted from the base station to the UE.
6. The base station of claim 5 , wherein the WUS duration is derived by a maximum number of repetitions fora Narrowband Physical Downlink Control channel (NPDCCH) for paging.
7. The base station of claim 5 , wherein one or more POs are configured for the WUS by the system information.
8. The base station of claim 5 , wherein the WUS and the PO are on a same Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) carrier.
9. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
detecting a wake-up signaling (WUS) transmitted by a base station within a WUS duration, the WUS being a signal for causing the UE to monitor a paging occasion (PO) for detecting a paging message;
when the UE detects the WUS within the WUS duration, determining the PO based on a time-offset; and
monitoring the PO for detecting the paging message, wherein:
the PO follows the WUS duration in a time-domain position and the time-offset is in subframes between an end of the WUS duration and a start of the PO,
the WUS duration starts in a specific subframe,
the WUS duration is a number of subframes, and
the time-offset is configured by system information, which is transmitted from the base station to the UE.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the WUS duration is derived by a maximum number of repetitions for a Narrowband Physical Downlink Control channel (NPDCCH) for paging.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein one or more POs are configured for the WUS by the system information.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the WUS and the PO are on a same Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) carrier.
