The method includes: a terminal-side device performs detection on a plurality of monitoring occasions before a start time of DRX on duration; if the terminal-side device detects first indication information from a network-side device, determining a first time period based on an N.sup.th monitoring occasion in the plurality of monitoring occasions before the start time of the DRX on duration, and performing BWP switching in the first time period. The first indication information indicates the terminal-side device to perform BWP switching. N is an integer greater than 0.

The apparatus of wireless communication is a UE. The UE out of coverage of any base station may operate in a VLP mode and set a signal transmission power to a first power level. The UE may detect and connect to a base station, switch the power mode of UE based on a power mode of the base station connected by the UE, and switch the signal transmission power from the first power level to the second power level greater than the first power level. When the UE detects equal to or more than two base stations, the UE may select the base station from the equal to or more than two base stations detected based on a condition and connect to the base station selected from the two detected base stations.

The present disclosure provides a sleep indication method, a UE, a network side device and a storage medium. The sleep indication method includes: receiving, by a UE, first information, the first information being used to indicate to perform a PCell sleep behavior; and performing, by the UE, the PCell sleep behavior for a PCell in accordance with the first information.

A wireless device receives configuration parameters indicating duration values for skipping physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring on a bandwidth part (BWP). The duration values are from: first values in response to the BWP having a first subcarrier spacing (SCS) and second values in response to the BWP having a second SCS, with each value of the second values being equal to multiplication of a respective value, of the first values, and a same granularity value. The wireless device may receive a downlink control information (DCI) indicating skipping PDCCH monitoring on the BWP for a time duration based on a duration value of the duration values. The wireless device may skip monitoring the PDCCH on the BWP for the time duration, based on the DCI.

Techniques for improved wake-up signal (WUS) operation in a wireless communication system are described. In accordance with one embodiment, a wireless communications device may receive, from a gNB, information indicating parameters associated with a wake-up signal time window and may power down its first receiver and second receiver based on a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. The wireless communications device may wake up the second receiver to receive, from the gNB, a wake-up signal during a configured WUS time window and determine whether a wake-up or a non-wake-up condition is indicated. If a wake-up condition is indicated, then the wireless communications device may wake up the first receiver before an on duration of the DRX cycle to synchronize timing with the gNB, detect a new radio physical downlink control channel (NR-PDCCH) during the on duration of the DRX cycle, and reset a size of the wake-up signal time window.

An interface circuit in a device, e.g., an access point, may perform link adaptation. During operation, the interface circuit may provide a wake-up frame, e.g., a LP-WUR packet, associated with a channel in a band of frequencies, where the wake-up frame is intended for a wake-up radio in a recipient device. Then, the interface circuit may receive, from the recipient device, feedback information associated with a second channel in a second band of frequencies, where the feedback information is associated with a main radio in the recipient device. Based at least in part on the feedback information, the interface circuit may estimate one or more communication metrics associated with the channel in the band of frequencies. Moreover, based at least in part on the one or more communication metrics, the interface circuit may determine a data rate for use in communication via the channel in the band of frequencies.

Provided are a method by which a terminal monitors a downlink control channel in a wireless communication system and a corresponding device. An offset-based time window is set before a conventional DRX-on period for monitoring PDCCH, and PSPDCCH for notifying of power saving information in the time window is monitored. Whether to actually monitor the PDCCH in the DRX-on period can be determined on the basis of the PS-PDCCH.

A wireless device receives one or more indications including: a wake-up indication indicating downlink control channel monitoring during a discontinuous reception (DRX) on duration of a DRX cycle; and a dormancy indication indicating a switching to a dormant bandwidth part of a cell. Based on the dormancy indication and the wake-up indication, during the DRX on duration, the wireless device: monitors a downlink control channel on the cell is stopped, while maintaining the cell activated; and transmits a channel state information report for the dormant bandwidth part.

A wireless sensor for an associated machine or machine part which includes a communications module that wirelessly transmits data related to the associated machine or machine part. The communications module is mounted on the sensor and the sensor is disposed under the bottom side of the control circuitry. A sensor is configured to measure one or more properties of the associated machine or machine part. The wireless sensor can be used with a smart device app such that information from the wireless sensor can be received and displayed on the smart device.

The present disclosure provides a communication apparatus that comprises a receiver which, in operation, receives a wake-up radio (WUR) frame, during an on duration in a duty cycle, in a first channel assigned to the communication apparatus by an Access Point (AP), and receives a WUR Beacon frame in a second channel, a transmission of the WUR Beacon frame being scheduled at a target WUR beacon transmission time (TWBTT); and a processor which, in operation, operates the duty cycle, wherein, during a determined time from the TWBTT, any WUR frame is not transmitted in the first channel from the AP.
