Notification and acquisition of ETWS/CMAS in connected mode for UEs in CE
Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs, for warning system notifications and acquisition. In one aspect, the method includes actions of receiving, by user equipment (UE) and from an access node, data indicating the presence of a PDSCH broadcast, configuring, by the UE and based on the received data, a narrowband (NB) to receive transport blocks in PDSCH, and receiving, by the UE, one or more transport blocks broadcast in PDSCH using the NB, the one or more transport blocks including the warning system information.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, from an access node, data i) with a downlink control information (DCD 6-1A format or a DCI 6-1B format, 11) that has a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with system information radio temporary identifier (SI-RNTD, and ii) includes a direct indication that indicates indicating the presence of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) broadcast; and
receiving, from the access node based on the received data with the downlink control information (DCI) 6-1A format or the DCI 6-1B format, one or more transport blocks broadcast in PDSCH via a narrowband (NB); and
decoding the one or more transport blocks.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a user equipment for which the data indicating the presence of the PDSCH broadcast is received is in coverage enhanced (CE) mode A or CE mode B.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received data used to configure the narrowband (NB) includes dedicated radio resource control (RRC) signaling, data broadcast in system information, or data indicated by physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that schedules the PDSCH.
4. The method of claim 1 , where PDSCH is broadcast in each narrowband.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein periodicity, TBS size, or repetitions parameters are predefined.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein periodicity, TBS size, or repetitions parameters are configured via RRC or broadcast in system information.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more transport blocks broadcast in PDSCH are prioritized over unicast transmissions.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a user equipment for which the data indicating the presence of the PDSCH broadcast is received is not required to receive unicast transmission for a predetermined amount of time.
9. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
receiving one or more second transport blocks in unicast while also receiving the one or more transport blocks broadcast PDSCH using an NB switching gap that is defined for parallel reception of unicast transport blocks and broadcast transport blocks.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein received data indicating the presence of the PDSCH broadcast includes scheduling information of system information block (SIB)-BR or SIB10, SIB11, or SIB12.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein a user equipment for which the data indicating the presence of the PDSCH broadcast is received is configured to monitor PDCCH for waring system information.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein a user equipment for which the data indicating the presence of the PDSCH broadcast is received is not required to monitor PDCCH for a type of data included in the one or more transport blocks.
13. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
receiving or transmitting DCI having DCI format 6-2 with a flag to indicate paging or direct indication differentiation.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein a first flag=0 to indicate direct indication or the first flag=1 to indicate paging.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the DCI includes scheduling information for SIB1-BR or SIB10/11/12.
16. A device comprising one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from an access node, data 1) with a downlink control information (DCI) 6-1A format or a DCI 6-1B format, 11) that has a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with system information radio temporary identifier (SI-RNTD), and ii) includes a direct indication that indicates indicating the presence of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) broadcast; and
receiving, from the access node based on the received data with the downlink control information (DCI) 6-1A format or the DCI 6-1B format, one or more transport blocks broadcast in PDSCH via a narrowband (NB); and
decoding the one or more transport blocks.
17. The device of claim 16 , wherein a user equipment for which the data indicating the presence of the PDSCH broadcast is received is in coverage enhanced (CE) mode A or CE mode B.
18. The device of claim 16 , wherein the received data used to configure the narrowband (NB) includes dedicated radio resource control (RRC) signaling, data broadcast in system information, or data indicated by physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) that schedules the PDSCH.
19. The device of claim 16 , wherein receiving the one or more transport blocks broadcast in the PDSCH via the NB comprises processing the one or more transport blocks broadcast in the PDSCH via the NB.
20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software comprising instructions executable by one or more processors which, upon such execution, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from an access node, data 1) with a downlink control information (DCI) 6-1A format or a DCI 6-1B format, 11) that has a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) scrambled with system information radio temporary identifier (SI-RNTD), and ii) includes a direct indication that indicates indicating-the presence of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) broadcast; and
receiving, from the access node based on the received data with the downlink control information (DCI) 6-1A format or the DCI 6-1B format, one or more transport blocks broadcast in PDSCH via a narrowband (NB) using the NB, the one or more transport blocks including the warning system-information; and
decoding the one or more transport blocks.
