Abstract

Claims (52)

1 . A first mobile station for wireless communication, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, based at least in part on information stored in the one or more memories,

configured to:

select an integrated sequence for sidelink communications between the first mobile station and a second mobile station,

wherein the integrated sequence is a single message that:

wakes up the second mobile station based on the integrated sequence including a wake up signal (WUS), and

switches the second mobile station to a bandwidth part (BWP) based on the integrated sequence indicating the BWP;

generate the integrated sequence for the BWP and to include the WUS; and

transmit, to the second mobile station via a sidelink, the integrated sequence;

wherein the integrated sequence indicates that the second mobile station is to switch to the BWP for a time duration and return to a previous BWP after the time duration;

wherein the integrated sequence indicates an offset from which the time duration starts.

2 . The first mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the integrated sequence indicates that the BWP is a first BWP and that the second mobile station is to wake up and switch to the first BWP after an offset.

3 . The first mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the integrated sequence indicates that the second mobile station is to wake up at a first resource.

4 . The first mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to switch to the BWP associated with the integrated sequence.

5 . The first mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, to select the integrated sequence, are configured to select the integrated sequence from within a set of group integrated sequences, and the one or more processors, to transmit the integrated sequence, are configured to transmit the integrated sequence to a group of mobile stations that includes the second mobile station.

6 . The first mobile station of claim 5 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to transmit, to the group of mobile stations, a message to cancel switching to the BWP if a negative acknowledgement is received from at least one mobile station of the group of mobile stations.

7 . The first mobile station of claim 5 , wherein the one or more processors, to transmit the integrated sequence to the group of mobile stations, are configured to transmit the integrated sequence to the group of mobile stations based at least in part on information that indicates that each of the mobile stations in the group of mobile stations has a capability to switch to the BWP.

8 . The first mobile station of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors, to select the integrated sequence, are configured to select the integrated sequence based at least in part on a trigger from an application.

9 . The first mobile station of claim 8 , wherein the BWP is mapped to the application.

10 . The first mobile station of claim 8 , wherein the BWP is mapped to a quality of service for the application.

11 . A second mobile station for wireless communication, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, based at least in part on information stored in the one or more memories,

configured to:

receive, from a first mobile station via a sidelink, an integrated sequence for sidelink communications between the first mobile station and the second mobile station,

wherein the integrated sequence is a single message that:

wakes up the second mobile station based on the integrated sequence including a wake up signal (WUS), and

switches the second mobile station to a bandwidth part (BWP) based on the integrated sequence indicating the BWP, and

wherein the integrated sequence is for the BWP and includes the WUS; and

switch, after waking up and in connection with receiving the integrated sequence, to the BWP indicated by the integrated sequence;

wherein the integrated sequence indicates that the second mobile station is to switch to the BWP for a time duration and return to a previous BWP after the time duration, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to switch to the previous BWP after the time duration;

wherein the integrated sequence indicates an offset from which the time duration starts, and wherein the one or more processors are configured to start the time duration based at least in part on the offset.

12 . The second mobile station of claim 11 , wherein the integrated sequence indicates that the BWP is a first BWP and that the second mobile station is to wake up and switch to the first BWP after an offset.

13 . The second mobile station of claim 11 , wherein the integrated sequence indicates that the second mobile station is to wake up at a first resource, and wherein the one or more processors, to wake up, are configured to wake up at the first resource.

14 . The second mobile station of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to transmit feedback for the integrated sequence to the first mobile station.

15 . The second mobile station of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

receive a message to cancel the switching to the BWP; and

cancel the switching to the BWP.

16 . The second mobile station of claim 11 , wherein the BWP is mapped to an application.

17 . The second mobile station of claim 11 , wherein the BWP is mapped to a quality of service for an application.

18 . A first mobile station for wireless communication, comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, based at least in part on information stored in the one or more memories,

configured to:

select an integrated sequence for sidelink communications between the first mobile station and a second mobile station,

wherein the integrated sequence is a single message that:

wakes up the second mobile station based on the integrated sequence including a wake up signal (WUS), and

switches the second mobile station to a bandwidth part (BWP) based on the integrated sequence indicating the BWP;

generate the integrated sequence for the BWP and to include the WUS; and

transmit, to the second mobile station via a sidelink, the integrated sequence;

wherein the one or more processors are configured to continue in a current BWP when feedback for the integrated sequence is not received within an offset period after transmitting the integrated sequence.
