Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may identify a scheduling window associated with acquiring a system information message, wherein the scheduling window is based at least in part on control channel monitoring occasions associated with a control channel, wherein the control channel is to schedule a data channel that includes the system information message; and receive the control channel based at least in part on the scheduling window, wherein the control channel is received within the scheduling window. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (61)

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

identifying a scheduling window associated with acquiring a system information message,

wherein the scheduling window is based at least in part on control channel monitoring occasions associated with a control channel,

wherein the control channel is to schedule a data channel that includes the system information message;

receiving the control channel based at least in part on the scheduling window,

wherein the control channel is received within the scheduling window; and

receiving the data channel at least partially within the scheduling window.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control channel is received based at least in part on using a system information radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI) from a start of the scheduling window.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control channel is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control channel carries downlink control information (DCI).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data channel is received based at least in part on downlink control information (DCI) included in the control channel,

wherein the data channel includes the system information message.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data channel is received entirely within the scheduling window.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data channel is received based at least in part on using a system information radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI) from a start of the scheduling window.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data channel is a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

9. 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:

identify a scheduling window associated with acquiring a system information message,

wherein the scheduling window is based at least in part on control channel monitoring occasions associated with a control channel,

wherein the control channel is to schedule a data channel that includes the system information message;

receive the control channel based at least in part on the scheduling window,

wherein the control channel is received within the scheduling window; and

receive the data channel at least partially within the scheduling window.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the control channel is received based at least in part on using a system information radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI) from a start of the scheduling window.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the control channel is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the control channel carries downlink control information (DCI).

13. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the data channel is received based at least in part on downlink control information (DCI) included in the control channel.

14. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the data channel is received entirely within the scheduling window.

15. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the data channel is received based at least in part on using a system information radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI) from a start of the scheduling window.

16. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the data channel is a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

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

identifying a scheduling window associated with acquiring a system information message,

wherein the scheduling window is based at least in part on control channel monitoring occasions associated with a control channel,

wherein the control channel is to schedule a data channel that includes the system information message;

transmitting the control channel based at least in part on the scheduling window,

wherein the control channel is transmitted within the scheduling window; and

transmitting the data channel at least partially within the scheduling window.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the control channel is transmitted based at least in part on using a system information radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI) from a start of the scheduling window.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the control channel is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the control channel carries downlink control information (DCI).

21. The method of claim 17 , wherein the data channel is transmitted based at least in part on downlink control information (DCI) included in the control channel,

wherein the data channel includes the system information message.

22. The method of claim 17 , wherein the data channel is transmitted entirely within the scheduling window.

23. The method of claim 17 , wherein the data channel is a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

24. 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:

identify a scheduling window associated with acquiring a system information message,

wherein the scheduling window is based at least in part on control channel monitoring occasions associated with a control channel,

wherein the control channel is to schedule a data channel that includes the system information message;

transmit the control channel based at least in part on the scheduling window,

wherein the control channel is transmitted within the scheduling window; and

transmit the data channel at least partially within the scheduling window.

25. The base station of claim 24 , wherein the control channel is transmitted based at least in part on using a system information radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI) from a start of the scheduling window.

26. The base station of claim 24 , wherein the control channel is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

27. The base station of claim 24 , wherein the control channel carries downlink control information (DCI).

28. The base station of claim 24 , wherein the data channel is transmitted based at least in part on downlink control information (DCI) included in the control channel,

wherein the data channel includes the system information message.

29. The base station of claim 24 , wherein the data channel is transmitted entirely within the scheduling window.

30. The base station of claim 24 , wherein the data channel is a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).
