Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to cell discontinuous signaling configuration. An apparatus, such as a UE, receives cell discontinuous signaling configuration from a network entity such as a base station. The cell discontinuous signaling configuration includes one or more of a cell discontinuous transmission (DTX) behavior or a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) behavior. The UE can apply the cell discontinuous signaling configuration to determine when to perform signal monitoring and/or signal transmission.

Claims (53)

1 . A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:

receive a first signaling comprising a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) behavior comprising a plurality of DRX cycles, a DRX cycle comprising a period of time in which the UE is not to transmit a second set of uplink (UL) signals except for a second on-duration period configured in each DRX cycle, and a second UL signal in the second set of UL signals occupies a second set of multiple slots that overlap at least in part with slots of the DRX cycle excluding the second on-duration period;

receive a second signaling occasion activating the cell DRX behavior; and

transmit, based at least in part on the cell DRX behavior, the second UL signal.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second UL signal comprises at least one of:

a periodic or semi-persistent sounding reference signal (SRS) associated with a usage value set to antenna switching over more than one slot;

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configured with an inter-slot repetition pattern; or

a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) configured with a repetition pattern over multiple slots.

3 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second UL signal is associated with a repetition pattern comprising multiple scheduled transmissions of a same UL signal content from the UE over a second set of multiple slots.

4 . The UE of claim 3 , wherein the second UL signal comprises at least one of:

a PUCCH configured with inter-slot repetition; or

a PUSCH configured with repetition type B over multiple slots.

5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the second UL signal is associated with multiple scheduled transmissions of different UL signal content from the UE over the second set of multiple slots.

6 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the second UL signal comprises at least a periodic or semi-persistent SRS associated with a usage value set to antenna switching over more than one slot.

7 . A processor for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:

receive a first signaling comprising a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) behavior comprising a plurality of DRX cycles, a DRX cycle comprising a period of time in which a user equipment (UE) is not to transmit a second set of uplink (UL) signals except for a second on-duration period configured in each DRX cycle, and a second UL signal in the second set of UL signals occupies a second set of multiple slots that overlap at least in part with slots of the DRX cycle excluding the second on-duration period;

receive a second signaling occasion activating the cell DRX behavior; and

transmit, based at least in part on the cell DRX behavior, the second UL signal.

8 . The processor of claim 7 , wherein the second UL signal comprises at least one of:

a periodic or semi-persistent sounding reference signal (SRS) associated with a usage value set to antenna switching over more than one slot;

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configured with an inter-slot repetition pattern; or

a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) configured with a repetition pattern over multiple slots.

9 . The processor of claim 7 , wherein the second UL signal is associated with a repetition pattern comprising multiple scheduled transmissions of a same UL signal content from the UE over a second set of multiple slots.

10 . The processor of claim 9 , wherein the second UL signal comprises at least one of:

a PUCCH configured with inter-slot repetition; or

a PUSCH configured with repetition type B over multiple slots.

11 . The processor of claim 7 , wherein the second UL signal is associated with multiple scheduled transmissions of different UL signal content from the UE over the second set of multiple slots.

12 . The processor of claim 11 , wherein the second UL signal comprises at least a periodic or semi-persistent SRS associated with a usage value set to antenna switching over more than one slot.

13 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving a first signaling comprising a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) behavior comprising a plurality of DRX cycles, a DRX cycle comprising a period of time in which the UE is not to transmit a second set of uplink (UL) signals except for a second on-duration period configured in each DRX cycle, and a second UL signal in the second set of UL signals occupies a second set of multiple slots that overlap at least in part with slots of the DRX cycle excluding the second on-duration period;

receiving a second signaling occasion activating the cell DRX behavior; and

transmitting, based at least in part on the cell DRX behavior, the second UL signal.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the second UL signal comprises at least one of:

a periodic or semi-persistent sounding reference signal (SRS) associated with a usage value set to antenna switching over more than one slot;

a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configured with an inter-slot repetition pattern; or

a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) configured with a repetition pattern over multiple slots.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the second UL signal is associated with a repetition pattern comprising multiple scheduled transmissions of a same UL signal content from the UE over a second set of multiple slots.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the second UL signal comprises at least one of:

a PUCCH configured with inter-slot repetition; or

a PUSCH configured with repetition type B over multiple slots.

17 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the second UL signal is associated with multiple scheduled transmissions of different UL signal content from the UE over the second set of multiple slots.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the second UL signal comprises at least a periodic or semi-persistent SRS associated with a usage value set to antenna switching over more than one slot.

19 . A network equipment for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the network equipment to:

transmit a first signaling comprising a cell discontinuous reception (DRX) behavior comprising a plurality of DRX cycles, a DRX cycle comprising a period of time in which a user equipment (UE) is not to transmit a second set of uplink (UL) signals except for a second on-duration period configured in each DRX cycle, and a second UL signal in a second set of UL signals occupies a second set of multiple slots that overlap at least in part with slots of the DRX cycle excluding the second on-duration period; and
