Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may transmit a request for system information based at least in part on a threshold; and receive the system information based at least in part on the request. A base station may receive a request for system information, wherein the request is based at least in part on a threshold; and transmit the system information to a user equipment (UE) associated with the request based at least in part on the request. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (65)

1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

transmitting a request for cell reselection-related system information based at least in part on a measurement performed by the UE satisfying a first threshold associated with requesting the cell reselection-related system information,

wherein the first threshold is different than a second threshold for performing cell reselection; and

receiving the cell reselection-related system information based at least in part on the request.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing the measurement, wherein transmitting the request is based at least in part on comparing result of the measurement with the first threshold.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the measurement is based at least in part on at least one of a reference signal received power, a reference signal received quality, or a signal to interference plus noise ratio.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first threshold is associated with a reporting event.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information from a base station identifying the first threshold, wherein the request is transmitted to the base station.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first threshold is for a serving cell of the UE.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the first threshold based on at least one of:

a preconfigured value,

a condition or parameter of the UE, or

a mobility state of the UE.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that the first threshold is satisfied.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request comprises a random access message or a connection request message.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request is transmitted based at least in part on initiating a random access procedure.

11. A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:

receiving a request for cell reselection-related system information, wherein the request is based at least in part on a measurement performed by a user equipment (UE) satisfying a first threshold associated with requesting the cell reselection-related system information,

wherein the first threshold is determined or configured by the base station, and

wherein the first threshold is different than a second threshold for performing cell reselection; and

transmitting the cell reselection-related system information to the UE based at least in part on the request.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein transmitting the cell reselection-related system information further comprises broadcasting or unicasting the cell reselection-related system information.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first threshold is associated with a reporting event.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

transmitting, broadcasting, or unicasting information identifying the first threshold.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the base station provides a serving cell of the UE.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the request comprises a random access message.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the request is transmitted based at least in part on initiating a random access procedure.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the cell reselection-related system information is selected for the UE based at least in part on a content of the request.

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

a memory; and

one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:

transmit a request for cell reselection-related system information based at least in part on a measurement performed by the UE satisfying a first threshold associated with requesting the cell reselection-related system information,

wherein the first threshold is different than a second threshold for performing cell reselection; and

receive the cell reselection-related system information based at least in part on the request.

20. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the one or more processors are further to:

perform the measurement, wherein transmitting the request is based at least in part on comparing result of the measurement with the first threshold.

21. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

receive information from a base station identifying the first threshold, wherein the request is transmitted to the base station.

22. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

determine the first threshold based on at least one of:

a preconfigured value,

a condition or parameter of the UE, or

a mobility state of the UE.

23. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the measurement is based at least in part on at least one of a reference signal received power, a reference signal received quality, or a signal to interference plus noise ratio.

24. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the first threshold is for a serving cell of the UE.

25. The UE of claim 19 , wherein the one or more processors are further to:

determine that the first threshold is satisfied.

26. A base station for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:

receive a request for cell reselection-related system information, wherein the request is based at least in part on a measurement performed by a user equipment (UE) satisfying a first threshold,

wherein the first threshold is determined or configured by the base station, and

wherein the first threshold is different than a second threshold for performing cell reselection; and

transmit the cell reselection-related system information to the UE based at least in part on the request.

27. The base station of claim 26 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

transmit or broadcast information identifying the first threshold.

28. The base station of claim 26 , wherein the base station provides a serving cell of the UE.

29. The base station of claim 26 , wherein the one or more processors, when transmitting the cell reselection-related system information, are configured to:

broadcast or unicast the cell reselection-related system information.

30. The base station of claim 26 , wherein the request comprises a random access message.
