Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, an apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to at least one vehicle UE, in accordance with a first update rate, a first set of position messages indicating position information associated with the UE. The apparatus may transmit a second set of position messages in accordance with a second update rate. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A method and apparatus are provided for controlling an active state in a mobile communication system. The method includes receiving, from a base station, information related to a starting position of an active state and information related to a length of a first timer; deriving the starting position of the active state based on the information related to the starting position; starting the first timer set to the length of the first timer and entering the active state at the derived starting position; terminating the active state if control data indicating a transmission of user data is not received until the first timer expires; extending a period of the active state if the control data is received before the first timer expires; and terminating the active state based on a control signal indicating a termination of the active state.

A method for reducing power consumption of a terminal that communicates with a base station in a mobile communication system using a multi-carrier structure composed of a primary component carrier and at least one secondary component carrier comprises: receiving a discontinuous reception (DRX) parameter group for multi carriers from the base station; and setting the multi carriers to the same parameter value, by using the received parameter group. The method for reducing power consumption of the terminal further comprises: performing a downlink control channel receive operation on each carrier according to a DRX cycle. As the base station in the mobile communication system using the multi-carrier structure simplifies the DRX process for reducing power consumption of a terminal by reducing signaling load for the multi-carrier control of the terminal, it becomes possible to reduce power consumption of the terminal.

The transmission of a reference signal, such as a CSI-RS, is enabled while maintaining a power saving effect when performing inter-cell cooperative transmission/reception or the like in a plurality of cells. In order to realize inter-cell cooperative transmission/reception, a CSI-RS which is used for estimating the state of a spatial propagation path of a communication line is generated by a CSI-RS generation unit, and the CSI-RS is disposed in a predetermined subframe by a disposition unit and transmitted. At this time, when a frame has ten subframes #0 to #9, the CSI-RS is disposed in the subframes #4 and #9, which are subframes excluding the subframes #0 and #5 incapable of transmitting a CSI-RS and are subframes other than subframes capable of acting as MBSFN subframes when discontinuous communication (Extended Cell DTX) is performed so as to achieve power saving, and transmitted.

Methods and systems for managing power consumption of network devices are disclosed. An example method can comprise detecting a triggering condition and reducing functionality of a network device based on detecting the triggering condition. The method can comprise detecting, at the network device, a user device, restoring functionality of the network device in response to detecting the user device, and transmitting information to the user device after restoring functionality of the network device.

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication network determines a snapshot value of a serving link signal received quality while the UE is permitted to refrain from performing neighbor link measurements. Responsive to detecting, while the UE is permitted to refrain from performing neighbor link measurements, that signal received quality of a serving link has dropped by at least a threshold amount below the snapshot value, the UE performs a neighbor link measurement.

According to embodiments described herein there is provided a wireless terminal device and a network node in a communications network. The wireless terminal device being operable in a plurality of modes comprising a first mode, in which the wireless terminal device is able to receive paging messages from the wireless communications network, and a second mode in which the wireless terminal device is unable to receive paging messages from the wireless communications network. The method in the wireless device comprising receiving a signal from a network node operable in the wireless communications network, wherein the signal comprises information related to the paging occasions; and responsive to a determination to that signal, operating in at least the second mode.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment or a base station may determine that a condition for entering a reduced monitoring state is satisfied, wherein the reduced monitoring state uses at least one of: a diminished radio frequency chain configuration, a diminished channel monitoring configuration, a restriction on receiving or transmitting a shared channel or a control channel, or a combination thereof; and communicate using the reduced monitoring state. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, including receiving, from a base station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH); predicting aggregation level information including information about an aggregation level of a control channel element (CCE) in which the PDCCH is received based on an aggregation level prediction model; determining a detection order for detecting the PDCCH based on the aggregation level information; and etecting the PDCCH based on the determined detection order.

The method executed in a wireless local area network (WLAN) system, according to various embodiments, may comprise: a step in which a reception station (STA), which supports a multilink comprising a first link and a second link, receives a target wake time (TWT) element via the first link, wherein the TWT element is received via a beacon and includes information for TWT period configuration for the second link; a step in which the reception STA configures a TWT period for the second link on the basis of the TWT element; and a step in which the reception STA communicates with a transmission STA via the second link within the TWT period.
