Abstract

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with wake-up signals may be provided, e.g., for power saving. The systems, methods, and instrumentalities may include interference-free wake-up signal (WUS)/go-to-sleep signal (GOS) and/or ON/OFF keying (OOK) waveform enhancements. The systems, methods, and instrumentalities for interference-free WUS/GOS may include wake-up control signal format and content and/or user multiplexing and reference symbols for WUS/GOS signaling. The systems, methods, and instrumentalities for OOK waveform enhancements may include one or more of uniform WUS/GUS using time domain masking based OOK, OOK randomization, and/or using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols with multiple subcarrier spacing values for OOK symbols.

Claims (30)

1 . A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

a processor configured to:

receive a signal from a network while the WTRU is in a sleep state;

detect first information indicated via the signal, wherein the first information comprises a bit pattern indicated by the signal;

determine whether the bit pattern matches a configured bit pattern that indicates to the WTRU to wake up from the sleep state;

determine second information associated with the signal, wherein the second information is different than the first information, and wherein the second information comprises a sequence associated with the bit pattern; and

on a condition that the bit pattern matches the configured bit pattern, wake up from the sleep state.

2 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the signal is an on/off keying (OOK) signal, and the OOK signal comprises a set of OOK symbols using a set of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols.

3 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein to detect the first information, the processor is configured to detect a set of on and off bits using energy detection.

4 . (canceled)

5 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the second information comprises one or more of a WTRU group ID or a WTRU ID.

6 . The WTRU of claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to:

determine that the signal is directed to the WTRU based the WTRU group ID or the WTRU ID matching to the WTRU.

7 . (canceled)

8 . A method comprising:

receiving a signal from a network while a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is in a sleep state;

detecting first information indicated via the signal, wherein the first information comprises a bit pattern indicated by the signal;

determining whether the bit pattern matches a configured bit pattern that indicates to the WTRU to wake up from the sleep state;

determining second information associated with the signal, wherein the second information is different than the first information, and wherein the second information comprises a sequence associated with the bit pattern; and

on a condition that the bit pattern matches the configured bit pattern, waking up from the sleep state.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the signal is an on/off keying (OOK) signal, and the OOK signal comprises a set of OOK symbols using a set of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein to detect the first information, the method comprising:

detecting a set of on and off bits using energy detection.

11 . (canceled)

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the second information comprises one or more of a WTRU group ID or a WTRU ID.

13 . The method of claim 12 , the method comprising:

determining that the signal is directed to the WTRU based the WTRU group ID or the WTRU ID matching to the WTRU.

14 . (canceled)

15 . The WTRU of claim 1 , wherein the sequence associated with the bit pattern is associated with a bit in the bit pattern, and wherein a value of the bit is one.

16 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the sequence associated with the bit pattern is associated with a bit in the bit pattern, and wherein a value of the bit is one.
