Abstract

A method and wireless device (WD) for autonomous WD wake up are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a wireless device configured to communicate with a network node is provided. The wireless device includes processing circuitry configured to determine that a transmitted wake up signal has been missed before a discontinuous reception (DRX) ON-duration, and perform at least one action during the DRX ON-duration based at least in part on the determination that the wake signal has been missed.

processing circuitry configured to:

before a discontinuous reception, DRX, ON-duration, determine that a transmitted wake up signal has been missed;

determine that a demodulation reference signal, DMRS, has been detected, the determination that the wake up signal has been missed being based at least in part on the detected DMRS; and

perform at least one action during the DRX ON-duration based at least in part on the determination before the DRX ON-duration that the wake signal has been missed.

2. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to determine at least one configuration parameter included in the wake up signal that has been missed by the wireless device; and

the at least one action being based at least in part on the at least one configuration parameter.

3. The wireless device of claim 2 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to, if the at least one configuration parameter only includes a command to wake up, implement a previously received configuration parameter for monitoring the DRX ON-duration.

4. The wireless device of claim 2 , wherein the at least one configuration parameter corresponds to at least one command related to the missed wake up signal.

5. The wireless device of claim 4 , wherein the at least one configuration parameter includes a plurality of configuration parameters for monitoring the DRX ON-duration; and

6. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the determination that the wake up signal has been missed is based at least in part on historic traffic data.

7. The wireless device of claim 6 , wherein the determination that the wake up signal has been missed includes analyzing the historic traffic data to determine that traffic data is expected during at least one predefined duration.

8. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the determination that the wake up signal has been missed is further based at least in part on a detection of a channel state information reference signal, CSI-RS.
