Wake-up signal with random access response

1. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus at least to:

determine a time period for monitoring a random access response;

identify that a wake-up signal occasion for a wakeup signal is overlapping a predetermined time period for the random access response, wherein the predetermined time period comprises the determined time period; and

based on the identifying, control monitoring of the wake-up signal occasion for a wake-up signal;

based on the controlling, not monitor the wake-up signal occasion during the predetermined time period for the random access response;

determine that the random access response has been triggered; and

based on the determining, cause the apparatus to not monitor the wake-up signal occasion during the predetermined time period for the random access response; and

start a discontinuous reception timer at a next discontinuous reception OnDuration occasion.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controlling comprises: ignoring the wake-up signal occasion wherein the discontinuous reception timer is started at a next wake-up signal occasion.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory is storing instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to: determine that a bandwidth part switch for the random access response has not been performed; and based on the bandwidth part switch not having been performed, skip monitoring of the wake-up signal occasion.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory is storing instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to: stop the random access procedure if a wake-up signal is received during the predetermined time period.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory is storing instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to: at least one of:

decode a wake-up signal during the wake-up signal occasion, or

not monitor the wake-up signal occasion and start a discontinuous reception timer in a next wake-up signal occasion.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory is storing instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to: for a case of a beam failure recovery, monitor for a wake-up signal in a search space defined for the beam failure recovery; and based on detecting a wake-up signal in the search space determine the random access procedure for the beam failure recovery to be successful.

7. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controlling is based on the random access response being for a random access procedure comprising one of a contention based random access procedure or a contention free random access procedure.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the overlapping comprises a wake-up signal overlapping a random access response window for the random access response.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the determining is based on a received indication of the random access response scheduled with a radio network temporary identifier.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory is storing instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to: monitor the wake-up signal occasion regardless of the predetermined time period.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the at least one non-transitory memory is storing instructions executed by the at least one processor to cause the apparatus to: in response to a successful random access response, stop the predetermined time period for the random access response.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a wake-up signal for the wake-up signal occasion is using downlink control information using a cyclic redundancy check scrambled by a radio network temporary identifier.

13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controlling is based on a configuration received from a communication network.

14. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time period comprises a random access response window.

15. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is in a connected mode with the communication network.

16. A method, comprising:

determining, by a network device of a communication network, a time period for monitoring a random access response;

identifying that a wake-up signal occasion for a wakeup signal is overlapping a predetermined time period for the random access response, wherein the predetermined time period comprises the determined time period; and

based on the identifying, controlling monitoring of the wake-up signal occasion for a wake-up signal;

based on the controlling, not monitoring the wake-up signal occasion during the predetermined time period for the random access response;

determining that the random access response has been triggered; and

based on the determining, causing the apparatus to not monitor the wake-up signal occasion during the predetermined time period for the random access response; and

starting a discontinuous reception timer at a next discontinuous reception OnDuration occasion.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the controlling comprises:

ignoring the wake-up signal occasion, wherein the discontinuous reception timer is started at a next wake-up signal occasion.
