Abstract

Methods, a remote unit and a base unit are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a method at a base unit, comprising: generating a wake up signal (WUS) set consisted of a number of WUSs to indicate that are mote unit shall attempt to receive a paging message in a paging occasion (PO) on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a cell, mapping each of the WUSs to a number of resource sets, transmitting, to the remote unit, the WUS set on a time-frequency resource, wherein the PO is a set of PDCCH monitoring occasions (MOs), wherein the number of the WUSs is determined by the number of Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs) actually transmitted by the base unit, and wherein the K th WUS and the K th transmitted SSB are quasi co-located, where K is an integer no more than the number of the WUSs.

Claims (47)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a processor coupled to the receiver and the transmitter, the processor and one or more of the receiver or the transmitter configured to cause the apparatus to:

generate a wake up signal (WUS) set comprising of a number of WUSs to indicate that a remote unit is to attempt to receive a paging message in a paging occasion (PO) on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a cell;

map each of the WUSs to a number of resource sets; and

transmit, to the remote unit, the WUS set on a time-frequency resource,

wherein the PO is a set of PDCCH monitoring occasions (MOs),

wherein the number of the WUSs is determined by a number of Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs) transmitted by the apparatus, and

wherein a K th WUS and a K th transmitted SSB are quasi co-located, where K is an integer no more than the number of the WUSs.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the time-frequency resource is determined at least by a resource start position and a resource duration.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the resource start position is calculated by a reference start position, a first offset between the reference start position and the resource start position, and a periodicity of the time-frequency resource, and

wherein the reference start position the first offset, and the periodicity of the time-frequency resource are configured by a higher layer of the apparatus.

4. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the resource start position is calculated by a first slot of the PO, the resource duration, and a gap between an end of the resource duration and the first slot of the PO.

5. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the resource duration is configured by a higher layer of the apparatus.

6. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the resource duration is determined by a beam sweeping period and a maximum number of the beam sweeping period, and

wherein the beam sweeping period is configured by a higher layer of the apparatus.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the maximum number of the beam sweeping period is determined by the number of resource sets.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the maximum number of the beam sweeping period is configured by a higher layer of the apparatus.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein a start of the beam sweeping period is calculated by a beam sweeping period gap for the beam sweeping period the beam sweeping period, and a first slot of the PO.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the beam sweeping period gap is configured by a higher layer of the apparatus.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the beam sweeping period gap is determined by a gap between an end of the resource duration and the first slot of the PO, the beam sweeping period, and an order at which the beam sweeping period is in the time-frequency resource.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the gap between the end of the resource duration and the first slot of the PO is determined by a required gap configured by a higher layer of the apparatus and a minimum value between each of the WUSs and corresponding MO.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein a start of each of the WUSs is determined at least by the resource start position, the start of the beam sweeping period, a WUS duration, the order at which a corresponding WUS is in the WUS set, and a second offset between the start of the beam sweeping period and a start of a first WUS, and

wherein the second offset is configured by a higher layer of the apparatus.

14. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein a start of each of the WUSs is configured by a higher layer of the apparatus.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the WUS duration of each of the WUSs in the beam sweeping period is determined by the beam sweeping period and the number of the WUSs.

16. An apparatus comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a processor coupled to the receiver and the transmitter, the processor and one or more of the receiver or the transmitter configured to cause the apparatus to:

receive, from a base unit a wake up signal (WUS) set comprising of a number of WUSs; and

attempt to receive a paging message in a paging occasion (PO) on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a cell according to the received WUS set,

wherein each of the one or more WUSs is mapped to a number of resource sets,

wherein the PO is a set of PDCCH monitoring occasions (MOs),

wherein the number of the WUSs is determined by a number of Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs) transmitted by the base unit, and

wherein a K th WUS and a K th transmitted SSB are quasi co-located, where K is an integer no more than the number of the WUSs.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the WUS set is received on a time-frequency resource determined at least by a resource start position and a resource duration.

18. A method comprising:

generating a wake up signal (WUS) set comprising of a number of WUSs to indicate that a remote unit is to attempt to receive a paging message in a paging occasion (PO) on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in a cell;

mapping each of the WUSs to a number of resource sets; and

transmitting, to the remote unit, the WUS set on a time-frequency resource,

wherein the PO is a set of PDCCH monitoring occasions (MOs),

wherein the number of the WUSs is determined by a number of Synchronization Signal Blocks (SSBs) transmitted by a base unit, and

wherein a K th WUS and a K th transmitted SSB are quasi co-located, where K is an integer no more than the number of the WUSs.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the time-frequency resource is determined at least by a resource start position and a resource duration.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the resource start position is calculated by a reference start position, a first offset between the reference start position and the resource start position, and a periodicity of the time-frequency resource.
