Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform methods for configuring a power savings signal in fifth generation (5G) new radio (NR) networks. The wireless device may transmit, to a base station within a network, power savings requirements and receiving, from the base station, a configuration of a power saving signal, where the configuration indicates one or more functionalities of the power saving signal. The wireless device may periodically receive, from the base station, the power saving signal and interpret the power saving signal based on the configuration. The configuration of the power saving signal may be received via radio resource control signaling.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wake-up resource randomization for discontinuous reception operation. An example method generally includes obtaining configuration information for receiving at least one wake up signal (WUS) during an OFF duration of a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode of the UE; monitoring, during a WUS monitoring occasion occurring during the OFF duration of the DRX mode, the one or more resources for the at least one WUS based on the configuration information; and transitioning to an ON state of the DRX mode when the at least one WUS is detected in the one or more resources during the monitoring; or remaining in an OFF state of the DRX mode when the at least one WUS is not detected in the one or more resources during the monitoring.

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.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A hub user equipment (UE) in a star topology may broadcast to a set of peripheral UEs indicating slots when the hub UE will not be in a transmission mode. The hub UE may broadcast a slot format indication to the peripheral UEs to indicate operating modes in a set of slots. In a first group of slots, the hub UE may operate in a forward mode, transmitting sidelink communications to the peripheral UEs. In a second group of slots, the hub UE may operate in a reverse mode, receiving sidelink communications from the peripheral UEs. In slots when the hub UE operates in the reverse mode, if a peripheral UE does not have data or control information, the peripheral UE may enter a sleep mode in one or more slots of the second group to save power.

This disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication resource configuration. Various schemes of configuration of sidelink control resources and/or sidelink data communication resources enable reduction of time duration that a user equipment is required to monitor sidelink communication resources for sidelink data, thereby providing power saving in sidelink communication.

A communication method and apparatus are provided, to resolve a problem that timeliness of data transmission is affected because a communication connection is not established in time. A network protocol stack is deployed for each of a service processing unit and a wireless communication unit in a first communication apparatus. In this way, before the service processing unit enters a working mode, the wireless communication unit may establish a transmission channel with a second communication apparatus based on the deployed network protocol stack. After the service processing unit enters the working mode, the service processing unit exchanges data with the second communication apparatus through the transmission channel based on the deployed network protocol stack.

Embodiments provide a transceiver of a wireless communication system, wherein the transceiver is configured to operate in a sidelink in-coverage, out of coverage or partial coverage scenario, in which resources for a communication over the sidelink are (pre-)configured by the wireless communication system or allocated or scheduled autonomously by the transceiver, wherein the transceiver is configured to receive over the sidelink a reception mode configuration signal from another transceiver of the wireless communication system, wherein the transceiver is configured to change a reception mode responsive to the reception of the reception mode configuration signal.

A user equipment (UE) is grouped into a paging subgroup for the purposes of receiving pages from a network. The UE receives, from the network, a paging configuration for a Radio Resource Control (RRC) idle state or an RRC inactive state paging operation, the paging configuration comprising a paging subgroup identification for the UE and monitors paging occasions based on at least the paging subgroup identification.

A method of and system for conserving power of a battery in a battery-powered electronic device capable of wireless communications are disclosed. The electronic device, which can be a digital video camera or other component of a monitoring system or an HVAC controller, an appliance, or another aspect of a smart home system, is wirelessly communicable with one or more hubs over a wireless local area network. The electronic device has at least a high power radio and a low power radio operating at different frequencies. Communications switch from the high power radio to the low power radio upon the occurrence of a trigger event such as battery charge dropping below a designated threshold. The electronic device may be part of a WLAN coupled to a WAN via the Internet and a cellular network.

Methods, systems, and devices for dynamically configuring connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) configurations supporting network power modes are described. In some examples, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first control signaling configuring the UE with multiple C-DRX configurations, each C-DRX configuration of the multiple C-DRX configurations corresponding to a respective network power mode. In some examples, the UE may receive a second control signaling including an identifier indicating a C-DRX configuration, of the multiple C-DRX configurations, corresponding to a first network power mode (e.g., an enhanced network power savings mode) at a base station, where the first network power mode may indicated a set of features active at the base station. The UE may communicate with the base station in accordance with the indicated C-DRX configuration and based on the first network power mode.
