FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0002] Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatuses for managing deactivation or dormancy of a component carrier (CC) in cross CC or multiple CC scheduling.

BACKGROUND

[0003] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency -division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency -division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency -division multiple access (SC- FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP).

[0004] A wireless network may include a number of base stations (BSs) that can support communication for a number of user equipment (UEs). A UE may communicate with a BS via the downlink and uplink. “Downlink” (or “forward link”) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, and “uplink” (or “reverse link”) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, a gNB, an access point (AP), a radio head, a transmit receive point (TRP), a New Radio (NR) BS, a 5G Node B, or the like.

[0005] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. NR, which may also be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the 3 GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP -OFDM) on the downlink (DL), using CP- OFDM and/or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s- OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple -input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, one skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method which is practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim.

[0026] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system. [0027] It should be noted that while aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or New Radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and/or a RAT subsequent to 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0028] Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network and/or a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, among other examples. The wireless network 100 may include a number of base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 1 lOd) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UEs) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, a Node B, a gNB, a 5G node B (NB), an access point, a transmit receive point (TRP), or the like. Each BS may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In 3 GPP, the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a BS and/or a BS subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0029] A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A BS for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro BS. A BS for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or a home BS. In the example shown in Fig. 1, a BS 110a may be a macro BS for a macro cell 102a, a BS 110b may be a pico BS for a pico cell 102b, and a BS 110c may be a femto BS for a femto cell 102c. A BS may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB”, “base station”, “NR BS”, “gNB”, “TRP”, “AP”, “node B”, “5G NB”, and “cell” may be used interchangeably herein.

[0030] In some aspects, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a mobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces, such as a direct physical connection or a virtual network, using any suitable transport network.

[0031] Wireless network 100 may also include relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. In the example shown in Fig. 1, a relay BS 1 lOd may communicate with macro BS 110a and a UE 120d in order to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS may also be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay, or the like.

[0032] Wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes BSs of different types, such as macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, or the like. These different types of BSs may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0033] A network controller 130 may couple to a set of BSs and may provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 may communicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicate with one another, directly or indirectly, via a wireless or wireline backhaul.

[0034] UEs 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be dispersed throughout wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, a subscriber unit, a station, or the like. A UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, biometric sensors/devices, wearable devices (smart watches, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wrist bands, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, smart meters/sensors, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0035] Some UEs may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and/or location tags, that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node may provide, for example, connectivity for or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as Internet or a cellular network) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may be considered Intemet-of-Things (loT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband internet of things) devices. Some UEs may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as processor components and/or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and/or electrically coupled.

[0036] In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, or the like. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

[0037] In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device -to -device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to- vehicle (V2V) protocol or a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol), and/or a mesh network. In this case, the UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station 110. [0038] Devices of wireless network 100 may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided based on frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, or the like. For example, devices of wireless network 100 may communicate using an operating band having a first frequency range (FR1), which may span from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz, and/or may communicate using an operating band having a second frequency range (FR2), which may span from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as mid-band frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as a “sub-6 GHz” band. Similarly, FR2 is often referred to as a “millimeter wave” band despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz - 300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band. Thus, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and/or mid-band frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and/or mid-band frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is contemplated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 may be modified, and techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0039] As indicated above, Fig. 1 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 1.

[0040] Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of a base station 110 in communication with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. Base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a through 234t, and UE 120 may be equipped with/? antennas 252a through 252r, where in general T> 1 and /? > 1.

[0041] At base station 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data from a data source 212 for one or more UEs, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and/or upper layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple -input multiple -output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a through 232t. Each modulator 232 may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. T downlink signals from modulators 232a through 232t may be transmitted via T antennas 234a through 234t, respectively.

[0042] At UE 120, antennas 252a through 252r may receive the downlink signals from base station 110 and/or other base stations and may provide received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a through 254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254a through 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor 280. The term “controller/processor” may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. A channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RS SI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and/or a CQI parameter, among other examples. In some aspects, one or more components of UE 120 may be included in a housing 284.

[0043] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller/processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

[0044] Antennas (e.g., antennas 234a through 234t and/or antennas 252a through 252r) may include, or may be included within, one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, sets of antenna elements, and/or antenna arrays, among other examples. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include a set of coplanar antenna elements and/or a set of non-coplanar antenna elements. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include antenna elements within a single housing and/or antenna elements within multiple housings. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmission and/or reception components, such as one or more components of Fig. 2.

[0045] On the uplink, at UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and/or CQI) from controller/processor 280. Transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by modulators 254a through 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, a modulator and a demodulator (e.g., MOD/DEMOD 254) of the UE 120 may be included in a modem of the UE 120. In some aspects, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna(s) 252, modulators and/or demodulators 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, and/or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller/processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (for example, as described with reference to Figs. 8-15).

[0046] At base station 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs may be received by antennas 234, processed by demodulators 232, detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by UE 120. Receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller/processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate to network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include a scheduler 246 to schedule UEs 120 for downlink and/or uplink communications. In some aspects, a modulator and a demodulator (e.g., MOD/DEMOD 232) of the base station 110 may be included in a modem of the base station 110. In some aspects, the base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna(s) 234, modulators and/or demodulators 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit processor 220, and/or TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller/processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (for example, as described with reference to Figs. 8-15).

[0047] Controller/processor 240 of base station 110, controller/processor 280 of UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of Fig. 2 may perform one or more techniques associated with managing deactivation or dormancy of a component carrier (CC) in cross CC or multiple CC scheduling, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, controller/processor 240 ofbase station 110, controller/processor 280 ofUE 120, and/or any other component(s) of Fig. 2 may perform or direct operations of, for example, process 1400 of Fig. 14, process 1500 of Fig. 15, and/or other processes as described herein. Memories 242 and 282 may store data and program codes for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and/or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and/or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly, or after compiling, converting, and/or interpreting) by one or more processors of the base station 110 and/or the UE 120, may cause the one or more processors, the UE 120, and/or the base station 110 to perform or direct operations of, for example, process 1400 of Fig. 14, process 1500 of Fig. 15, and/or other processes as described herein. In some aspects, executing instructions may include running the instructions, converting the instructions, compiling the instructions, and/or interpreting the instmctions, among other examples.

[0048] In some aspects, UE 120 may include means for monitoring, using a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring behavior, for a first downlink control information (DCI) format that indicates a set of resources associated with at least one of a cross CC scheduling or a multiple CC scheduling associated with a first CC and a second CC, means for monitoring, using a second PDCCH monitoring behavior based at least in part on a determination that a PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied, for a second DCI format, and/or the like. In some aspects, such means may include one or more components of UE 120 described in connection with Fig. 2, such as controller/processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, and/or the like.

[0049] In some aspects, base station 110 may include means for transmitting, to a UE, a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) communication using a first plurality of PDSCH resources, wherein the first plurality of resources are indicated by a first DCI communication having a first DCI format, wherein the first DCI communication indicates a set of resources associated with at least one of a cross CC scheduling or a multiple CC scheduling associated with a first CC and a second CC, wherein the set of resources includes the first plurality of PDSCH resources, means for transmitting a second DCI communication having a second DCI format based at least in part on a determination that a PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied, and/or the like. In some aspects, such means may include one or more components of base station 110 described in connection with Fig. 2, such as antenna 234, DEMOD 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller/processor 240, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, MOD 232, antenna 234, and/or the like.

[0050] While blocks in Fig. 2 are illustrated as distinct components, the functions described above with respect to the blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combination component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to the transmit processor 264, the receive processor 258, and/or the TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of controller/processor 280. [0051] As indicated above, Fig. 2 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 2.

[0052] Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating examples of cross CC scheduling 300 and multiple CC scheduling 310, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, a UE 120 and a base station 110 (shown as “BS”) may communicate with one another using carrier aggregation in which two or more CCs may be utilized for carrying control communications, data communications, and/or the like.

[0053] As shown by reference number 300, a first CC may include a scheduling CC and a second CC may include a scheduled CC. As shown, CCs may be implemented as cells and used, for example, for general carrier aggregation scenarios, dynamic spectrum sharing (DSS), and/or the like. In some aspects, a CC may include one or more carriers. In some aspects, a carrier may include one or more CCs. In a typical scenario, the UE 120 may be connected to a primary cell (shown as “PCell”). The UE 120 may maintain a connection to the primary cell, which may provide functionality such as, for example, initial access, random access, paging, and/or the like.

[0054] In some aspects, a secondary cell (shown as “S Cell”) may be activated. As shown, for the purpose of the concepts described herein, both illustrated CCs may be secondary CCs, or one CC may be a primary CC. In some aspects, the primary cell and the secondary cell may be provided by the same BS 110. In some aspects, the primary cell and the secondary cell may be provided by different BSs 110. In some aspects, for example, the secondary cell may be activated to handle an increase in traffic. In some aspects, more than one secondary cell may be activated.

[0055] In a typical case, a primary cell may be used to schedule data communications on the primary cell and/or a secondary cell. The data communications may include PDSCH communications, physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communications, and/or the like. In some cases, as shown, a secondary cell may be used to schedule data communications for the secondary cell, another secondary cell, and/or a primary cell. For example, as shown by reference number 300, in cross CC scheduling, a DCI communication 315 transmitted using a secondary cell (the scheduling CC) may be used to schedule a PDSCH and/or PUSCH communication 320 on a primary cell or another secondary cell (the scheduled CC). As shown by reference number 310, in multiple CC scheduling, a DCI communication 325 may be transmitted using a secondary cell for scheduling a PDSCH communication 330 in the same cell and a PDSCH communication 335 in a primary cell or another secondary cell.

[0056] Each cell may be associated with a respective one or more bandwidth part (BWP) configurations. The UE 120 may be associated with one or more active BWPs. For example, an active BWP may be associated with a cell. An active BWP may use a BWP configuration for the associated cell. In some aspects, both cells may be associated with a respective active BWP. In some aspects, only the scheduling cell may be associated with an active BWP. In some aspects, only the primary cell may be associated with an active BWP.

[0057] Each BWP configuration may be associated with a respective search space configuration. The search space configuration may identify a configuration for a search space (e.g., aggregation level, number of candidates, monitoring periodicity, monitoring symbols within a slot, DCI formats to monitor, associated control resource set (CORESET), etc.) that the UE is to use to receive information when using the BWP configuration for an active BWP. The search space configuration may be associated with a CORESET included in the BWP configuration. In some aspects, multiple BWP configurations may be associated with a single CORESET. For example, the single CORESET may be included in multiple overlapping BWPs.

[0058] As indicated above, Fig. 3 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 3.

[0059] Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example 400 of cross CC scheduling, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, a pair of CCs may be configured for cross CC scheduling.

[0060] As shown by Fig. 4, primary cell (shown as “PCell”) and a secondary cell (shown as “ SCell”) may include respective PDCCH candidates and scheduled data. The primary cell may include a common search space (CSS) that includes PDCCH candidates 410 for scheduling data communications 420 (shown as “PDSCH or PUSCH”) on the primary cell. In some aspects, an existing cross-carrier scheduling framework for using PDCCH candidates on a primary cell to schedule data communications on a secondary cell may be adapted for using PDCCH candidates on a secondary cell to schedule data communications on a primary cell. In some aspects, for example, cross CC scheduling from a secondary cell to the primary cell may be used for nonfallback DCI with a carrier indicator field (CIF) on a UE specific search space (USS).

In some aspects, the UE (e.g., the UE 120) may identify PDCCH candidates for DCI scheduling from the secondary cell to the primary cell based on a CIF value (e.g., an n_CI variable of a hash function). For example, as shown, PDCCH candidates 430 on the secondary cell that are configured for scheduling data communications 420 on the primary cell may indicate a CIF value (e.g., CIF=0) that matches a CIF value associated with the primary cell. Similarly, PDCCH candidates 440 on the secondary cell that are configured for scheduling data communications 450 on the secondary cell may indicate a CIF value (e.g., CIF=1) that matches a CIF value associated with the secondary cell. In some aspects, if the primary cell PDSCH and the secondary cell PDCCH use different subcarrier spacings (SCSs), a PDSCH preparation time may be provided to account for the timing differences.

[0062] In some aspects, during cross CC scheduling and/or data communications, the UE may continue to monitor the CSS on the primary cell so that UE behaviors regarding scenarios such as broadcast, fallback, and radio link failure (RLF) are maintained. Thus, in some aspects, the UE may monitor PDCCH candidates 410 and 430 on two cells that are for scheduling the primary cell data communications. In some aspects, the UE may not be required to handle time- overlapping cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) PDSCHs on the primary cell scheduled by the primary cell and the secondary cell. In some aspects, the UE may be able to process time-overlapping unicast PDSCH communications and system information (SI) RNTI PDSCH communications during paging RNTI (P-RNTI) triggered SI acquisition for frequency range 1 (FR1).

[0063] As indicated above, Fig. 4 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 4.

[0064] Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating examples of cross CC scheduling and multiple CC scheduling, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, a unified DCI format 500 may be provided for scheduling data communications 510 (e.g., PDSCH communications) on a first CC (shown as “CC1”) and a second CC (shown as “CC2”) where CC1 and CC2 are in different frequency bands (shown respectively as “Band A” and “Band B”). In some aspects, CC1 and CC2 may use different SCSs.

[0065] As shown in Fig. 5, a unified DCI format 520 may be provided for scheduling data communications 530 on CC1 and CC2, where CC1 and CC2 are in the same band (Band A) and use the same SCS. As shown, the DCI formats 500 and 520 may include a set of dedicated fields for scheduling data communications on CC1, a set of dedicated fields for scheduling communications on CC2, and a set of joint or common (shown as “joint/common”) fields for scheduling CC1 and CC2. As shown, a DCI format 520 for scheduling on a CC1 and a CC2 that are in the same band may include fewer data fields than a DCI format 500 for scheduling on CCs in different bands. The joint/common fields may enable reduction in DCI payload, while the dedicated fields may facilitate flexibility.

[0066] As indicated above, Fig. 5 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 5.

[0067] Fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example 600 of multiple CC scheduling, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, a primary cell (“PCell”) may be used for scheduling data communications (e.g., PDSCH communications) on the primary cell and the secondary cell.

[0068] In some aspects, a DCI for scheduling PDSCHs on multiple CCs may be supported. In some aspects, the UE may be able to identify the PDCCH candidates for scheduling a set of CCs based at least in part on the DCI. For example, in some aspects, a set of CCs may be configured for scheduling and may be associated with a search space (“SS”) or a particular DCI format. In some aspects, as shown, the primary cell may include a CSS with PDCCH candidates 610 for primary cell functions and an SS with a set of PDCCH candidates 620 for multiple CC scheduling. The PDCCH candidates 620 may be indicated, for example, as being configured for scheduling data communications (e.g., PDSCH communications) 630 on the primary cell and data communications (e.g., PDSCH communications) 640 on the secondary cell. In some aspects, the PDCCH candidates may be indicated in a DCI for multiple CC scheduling. The DCI may include, for example, a bitmap that indicates whether a particular PDCCH candidate is configured for scheduling on a “CC1,” a “CC2,” or a “CC1 + CC2.” By providing this indication, the network may reduce reliance on monitoring legacy DCI formats. A legacy format is a format that is already in existence as of the time of filing of this application. Legacy formats may be, for example, formats that are defined by a wireless communication standard.

[0069] As indicated above, Fig. 6 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 6.

[0070] In some cases, a secondary cell may be activated and/or deactivated according to a medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC-CE) indication, a deactivation timer, and/or the like. In some cases, a B WP of a secondary cell may be a dormant B WP, in which case the UE may not monitor PDCCH for the secondary cell. For the cross CC scheduling scenario illustrated in Fig. 4, if the secondary cell is deactivated or the BWP of the secondary cell is the dormant BWP, the UE may not receive a DCI format that schedules unicast data (PDSCH and/or PUSCH) on the primary cell.

[0071] For the multiple CC scheduling shown in Fig. 6, even if the secondary cell is deactivated or the BWP of the secondary cell is the dormant BWP, the DCI for multiple CC scheduling can still be used to schedule data on the primary cell. However, many of the DCI fields may be useless (e.g., fields used for the secondary cell), thereby unnecessarily increasing control signaling overhead. In some cases, if the DCI for multiple CC scheduling is for data scheduling on the primary cell and on a secondary cell, and if the DCI is monitored on the secondary cell, if the secondary cell is deactivated or the BWP of the secondary cell is the dormant BWP, the UE may not be able to receive a DCI format that schedules unicast data (PDSCH and/or PUSCH) on the primary cell. For example, in Fig. 6, if the multiple CC PDCCH candidates 620 are on the secondary cell and the secondary cell is deactivated or a BWP associated with the secondary cell is a dormant BWP, the UE may not be able to identify any PDCCH candidates for scheduling data communications on the primary cell. This may lead to service interruptions, less throughput, less flexibility, and less reliability.

[0072] Aspects of techniques and apparatuses described herein may provide alternative UE behavior for PDCCH monitoring that is based at least in part on a secondary cell activation/deactivation status and/or whether the BWP of the secondary cell is the dormant BWP. In some aspects, the UE may monitor, using a first PDCCH monitoring behavior, for a first DCI format that indicates a set of resources associated with at least one of a cross CC scheduling or a multiple CC scheduling associated with a first CC and a second CC. The UE may determine that a PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied and, based at least in part on the determination that the PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied, the UE may monitor, using a second PDCCH monitoring behavior for a second DCI format. In some aspects, for example, the UE may determine that the PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied based at least in part on determining that the second CC is deactivated, determining that an active BWP of the second CC is a dormant BWP, determining that an active downlink BWP satisfies a BWP switching condition, wherein the active downlink BWP is associated with at least one of the first CC or the second CC, and/or the like.

[0073] In some aspects, the DCI format contents of the second DCI format may be different than the DCI format contents of the first DCI format. As a result, the contents of the DCI format may be dependent on the secondary cell activation/deactivation status and/or whether the BWP of the secondary cell is a dormant BWP. In this way, data scheduling may still be possible in a multiple CC scheduling scenario when a non-scheduling CC is deactivated, or a BWP of a non-scheduling CC is a dormant BWP. In some aspects, the DCI format size and contents may be dependent on a cell activation/deactivation status or whether the BWP of the secondary cell is a dormant BWP. In this way, data scheduling may still be possible in a multiple CC scheduling scenario where a non-scheduling CC is deactivated, or its BWP is a dormant BWP. In some aspects, a DCI format type and/or location (e.g., the CC where the DCI format is monitored) may be dependent on a cell activation/deactivation status or whether the BWP of the secondary cell is a dormant BWP. In this way, data scheduling may still be possible in a cross CC scheduling scenario or a multiple CC scheduling scenario where the scheduling CC is deactivated, or its BWP is a dormant BWP. As a result, aspects of the techniques described herein may facilitate maintaining PDCCH candidates for scheduling data when one CC is unable to carry the data or DCI, thereby leading to fewer service interruptions, more throughput, more flexibility, and more reliability.

[0074] Fig. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example 700 associated with managing deactivation or dormancy of a CC in cross CC or multiple CC scheduling, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, a base station (e.g., the base station 110) and a UE (e.g., the UE 120) may communicate with one another. In some aspects, the base station may communicate using two or more different CCs (e.g., a primary cell and one or more secondary cells). In some aspects, the base station may include a plurality of base stations that may communicate with the UE using a plurality of CCs.

[0075] As shown by reference number 710, the base station may transmit, and the UE may receive, a configuration. In some aspects, the configuration may indicate a first DCI format and a second DCI format. In some aspects, the configuration may indicate a cross CC scheduling scheme, USS identifiers, CIF values corresponding to CCs, CIF values corresponding to PDCCH candidates, PDSCH resources, PUSCH resources, and/or the like. [0076] As shown by reference number 720, the UE may monitor, using a first PDCCH monitoring behavior, for the first DCI format. In some aspects, the first DCI format may indicate a set of resources associated with at least one of a cross CC scheduling or a multiple CC scheduling associated with a first CC and a second CC. In some aspects, monitoring using the first PDCCH monitoring behavior may include monitoring a first PDCCH associated with the first CC.

[0077] As shown by reference number 730, the base station may transmit, and the UE may receive, a first DCI communication. In some aspects, the first DCI communication may include the first DCI format. As shown by reference number 740, the base station may transmit, and the UE may receive, a BWP switch indication that indicates that an active BWP of a cell is switching to a BWP that is a dormant BWP. In some aspects, the base station may transmit, and the UE may receive, an indication that a CC has been deactivated.

[0078] As shown by reference number 750, the UE may determine that a PDCCH behavior switch condition is satisfied. In some aspects, the UE may determine that the PDCCH behavior switch condition is satisfied based at least in part on receiving the indication of the BWP switch, the indication of deactivation of a CC, and/or the like. In some aspects, the UE may determine that the PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied based at least in part on determining that the second CC is deactivated, determining that an active BWP of the second CC is a dormant BWP, or determining that an active downlink BWP satisfies a BWP switching condition, wherein the active downlink BWP is associated with at least one of the first CC or the second CC. In some aspects, the UE may determine that the PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied based at least in part on expiration of a deactivation timer.

[0079] In some aspects, the UE may determine that the PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied based at least in part on determining that the active downlink BWP satisfies a BWP switching condition. In some aspects, the UE may determine that the active downlink BWP satisfies the BWP switching condition by determining that a bandwidth of the active downlink BWP satisfies a bandwidth threshold, determining that an achievable downlink data rate associated with the active downlink BWP satisfies a threshold, determining that a BWP identifier associated with the active downlink BWP is identified as a non-scheduling BWP, and/or the like.

[0080] In some aspects, the achievable downlink data rate may be based at least in part on an SCS associated with the active downlink BWP, a number of resource blocks associated with the active downlink BWP, a number of layers associated with the active downlink BWP, a maximum MCS value associated with the active downlink BWP, an overhead factor associated with the active downlink BWP, and/or the like. [0081] In some aspects, the UE may receive (e.g., from the base station) a list of nonscheduling BWPs. The UE may determine that the BWP identifier associated with the active downlink BWP is identified as a non-scheduling BWP by determining that the BWP identifier is included in the list. In some aspects, where the active downlink BWP is associated with a scheduling CC that is a secondary cell, the UE may determine that the BWP identifier associated with the active downlink BWP is identified as a non-scheduling BWP by determining that the active downlink BWP is a dormant BWP.

[0082] As shown by reference number 760, the UE may monitor, using a second PDCCH monitoring behavior based at least in part on a determination that a PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied, for a second DCI format. In some aspects, monitoring using the second PDCCH monitoring behavior may include monitoring a second PDCCH associated with the second CC.

[0083] As shown by reference number 770, the base station may transmit, and the UE may receive, a second DCI communication. In some aspects, the second DCI communication may include the second configured DCI format. The second DCI format may be different than the first DCI format. In some aspects, at least one characteristic of the second DCI format may be based at least in part on determining that the PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied. The at least one characteristic of the second DCI format may include a set of contents of the second DCI format, a size of the second DCI format, a format type corresponding to the second DCI format, and/or the like.

[0084] In some aspects, the format type corresponding to the second DCI format may match a format type corresponding to the first DCI format. A format type may match another format type if the format types are the same or similar. In some aspects, the format types may match if the DCI formats include the same data fields. In some aspects, the data fields of matching format types may be of different sizes.

[0085] In some aspects, the UE may be configured with monitoring a first DCI format that can schedule PDSCHs on more than one CC. The UE may identify the contents and fields of the DCI format based on whether a scheduled CC by the DCI format is active or deactivated. In some aspects, the UE may identify the contents and fields of the DCI format based on whether the BWP of the scheduled CC by the DCI format is a non-dormant or a dormant BWP.

[0086] For example, in some aspects, a first CC may be used to transmit a first DCI communication having a first DCI format scheduling data communications associated with the first CC and a second CC. The UE and/or the base station may determine that the PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied by determining that a second CC is deactivated or determining that an active BWP of the second CC is a dormant BWP. The first DCI format may include a set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC, and, in the first DCI format, the set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC may include PDSCH scheduling information corresponding to the second CC. The set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC may indicate a frequency domain resource allocation, a time domain resource allocation, an MCS, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process identifier (ID), a redundancy version (RV), a transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI), an antenna port, and/or the like.

[0087] Based at least in part on determining that the PDCCH monitoring behavior switching condition is satisfied, the base station may transmit a second DCI communication to the UE. The second DCI communication may include the second DCI format. In some aspects, the second DCI format may include the set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC, and, in the second DCI format, the set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC may not include the PDSCH scheduling information.

[0088] In some aspects, in the second DCI format, the set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC may be fixed to a particular value (e.g., all ones or zeroes). In some aspects, a pay load size of the first DCI format may be equal to a payload size of the second DCI format. In this way, the UE may be able to recognize the second DCI format readily, as the structure would be the same as the first DCI format. However, because some fields are unused, aspects may increase signaling overhead.

[0089] In some aspects, the UE may identify the contents and/or fields, and the size of the DCI format, based on whether a scheduled CC by the DCI format is active or deactivated, based on whether the BWP of the scheduled CC by the DCI format is a non-dormant or dormant BWP, and/or the like. For example, in some aspects, the at least one characteristic of the second DCI format may include the set of contents of the second DCI format and the size of the second DCI format. The first DCI format may include a set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC (as described above), and, in the first DCI format, the set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC may include PDSCH scheduling information corresponding to the second CC. In contrast, the second DCI format may not include the set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC. In some aspects, the first DCI format has a first payload size and the second DCI format has a second payload size that is smaller than the first payload size. In this way, control signaling overhead may be reduced. A tradeoff may be less reliable detection of the second DCI format by the UE.

[0090] In some aspects, the first DCI format may have a first format type and the second DCI format may have a second format type. For example, in some aspects, the first format type may correspond to multiple CC scheduling and the second format type may correspond to single CC scheduling. In some aspects, for example, the second format type may include a DCI format 1 0 (which may be alternatively referred to as a legacy DCI format 1 0), a DCI format 1 1 (which may be alternatively referred to as a legacy DCI format 1 1), or a DCI format 1 2 (which may be alternatively referred to as a legacy DCI format 1 2). In some aspects, the UE may monitor, using the first PDCCH monitoring behavior, for the first DCI format by monitoring a first PDCCH for the first DCI format, where the first PDCCH corresponds to the second CC. The UE may monitor, using the second PDCCH monitoring behavior, for the second DCI format by monitoring a second PDCCH for the second DCI format, where the second PDCCH corresponds to the first CC.

[0091] In some aspects, where the UE determines that the PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied by determining that an active downlink BWP (associated with the second CC) satisfies a BWP switching condition, the UE may monitor, using the second PDCCH monitoring behavior for the second DCI format, a second PDCCH for the second format, where the second PDCCH corresponds to the first CC or a third CC (e.g., another secondary cell).

[0092] As indicated above, Fig. 7 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 7.

[0093] Fig. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example 800 of managing deactivation or dormancy of a CC in cross CC or multiple CC scheduling, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, a UE may be configured with monitoring a first DCI format that can schedule PDSCHs on more than one CC (shown as “CC1” and “CC2”). The UE may identify the contents and fields of the first or second DCI format based on whether a scheduled CC by the DCI format is active or deactivated, or based on whether the BWP of the scheduled CC by the DCI format is a non-dormant or a dormant BWP.

[0094] As shown, for example, a base station may provide the first CC, where the first CC is a scheduling CC. The base station may transmit the first DCI communication (shown as “first DCI”) that may include a set of resources associated with multiple CC scheduling. The set of resources may include, for example, a plurality of PDSCH resources associated with the second CC. The first DCI format may include a set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC, and, in the first DCI format, the set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC include PDSCH scheduling information. In the second DCI format, the dedicated fields associated with the second CC may not be used for data scheduling.

[0095] As indicated above, Fig. 8 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 8.

[0096] Fig. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example 900 of managing deactivation or dormancy of a CC in cross CC or multiple CC scheduling, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, UE may identify the contents and/or fields of the DCI format, and the size of the DCI format, based on whether a scheduled CC by the DCI format is active or deactivated, or based one whether the B WP of the scheduled CC by the DCI format is a non-dormant or a dormant BWP.

[0097] The first DCI format may include a set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC, and, in the first DCI format, the set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC may include PDSCH scheduling information corresponding to the second CC. As shown, the second DCI format may not include the set of dedicated data fields associated with the second CC. In some aspects, the first DCI format may have a first payload size and the second DCI format may have a second payload size that is smaller than the first payload size. [0098] As indicated above, Fig. 9 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 9.

[0099] Fig. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example 1000 of managing deactivation or dormancy of a CC in cross CC or multiple CC scheduling, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, the UE may identify the DCI format type the UE needs to monitor based on whether a scheduled CC by the DCI format is active or deactivated, or whether the BWP of the scheduled CC by the DCI format is a non-dormant BWP or a dormant BWP. In some aspects, the first DCI format may have a first format type and the second DCI format may have a second format type. The first format type may correspond to multiple CC scheduling and the second format type may correspond to single CC scheduling. In some aspects, the second format type may include a legacy DCI format 1 0, a legacy DCI format 1 1, or a legacy DCI format 1 2.

[0100] As indicated above, Fig. 10 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 10.

[0101] Fig. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example 1100 of managing deactivation or dormancy of a CC in cross CC or multiple CC scheduling, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, the UE may identify the CC the UE is to monitor based at least in part on whether the scheduling CC is active or deactivated, or whether the BWP of the scheduling CC is a non-dormant BWP or a dormant BWP. The first DCI format may have a first format type and the second DCI format may have a second format type that is different than the first format type. In some aspects, as shown, the first format type may correspond to multiple CC scheduling or cross-CC scheduling, and the second format type may correspond to single CC scheduling. [0102] As indicated above, Fig. 11 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 11.

[0103] Fig. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example 1200 of managing deactivation or dormancy of a CC in cross CC or multiple CC scheduling, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown by Fig. 12, the concept illustrated in Fig. 11 may also apply in the context of a first DCI format that facilitates cross CC scheduling from a secondary cell to a primary cell. As shown, the UE may identify the CC the UE is to monitor based at least in part on whether the scheduling CC is active or deactivated, or whether the BWP of the scheduling CC is a nondormant BWP or a dormant BWP. The first DCI format may have a first format type and the second DCI format may have a second format type that is different than the first format type. In some aspects, as shown, the first format type may correspond to cross CC scheduling, and the second format type may correspond to single CC scheduling.

[0104] As indicated above, Fig. 12 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 12.

[0105] Fig. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example 1300 of managing deactivation or dormancy of a CC in cross CC or multiple CC scheduling, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown by Fig. 13, aspects of the techniques for managing deactivation or dormancy of a CC described above may be applicable in scenarios in which a PDCCH monitoring behavior is changed depending on whether the scheduling and/or scheduled CC is active, or whether the active DL BWP of the scheduling and/or scheduled CC satisfies one or more conditions.

[0106] For example, in some aspects, the UE may determine that the PDCCH monitoring behavior switch condition is satisfied based at least in part on determining that an active downlink BWP satisfies a BWP switching condition. As shown, the UE may determine that the active downlink BWP satisfies the BWP switching condition by determining that a bandwidth of the active downlink BWP satisfies a bandwidth threshold. In some aspects, the UE may determine that the active downlink BWP satisfies the BWP switching condition by determining that an achievable downlink data rate associated with the active downlink BWP satisfies a threshold, determining that a BWP identifier associated with the active downlink BWP is identified as a non-scheduling BWP, and/or the like.

[0107] In some aspects, as shown in Fig. 13, the UE may monitor, using a second PDCCH monitoring behavior for the second DCI format. In some aspects, the UE may monitor a second PDCCH for the second format, where the second PDCCH corresponds to the first CC or a third CC. In some aspects, the first DCI format may include a first format type and the second DCI format may include a second format type that is different than the first format type. The first format type may correspond to multiple CC scheduling or cross-CC scheduling and the second format type may correspond to single CC scheduling.

[0284] As used herein, satisfying a threshold may, depending on the context, refer to a value being greater than the threshold, greater than or equal to the threshold, less than the threshold, less than or equal to the threshold, equal to the threshold, not equal to the threshold, or the like. [0285] Even though particular combinations of features are recited in the claims and/or disclosed in the specification, these combinations are not intended to limit the disclosure of various aspects. In fact, many of these features may be combined in ways not specifically recited in the claims and/or disclosed in the specification. Although each dependent claim listed below may directly depend on only one claim, the disclosure of various aspects includes each dependent claim in combination with every other claim in the claim set. As used herein, a phrase referring to “at least one of’ a list of items refers to any combination of those items, including single members. As an example, “at least one of: a, b, or c” is intended to cover a, b, c, a-b, a-c, b-c, and a-b-c, as well as any combination with multiples of the same element (e.g., a-a, a-a-a, a-a-b, a-a-c, a-b-b, a-c-c, b-b, b-b-b, b-b-c, c-c, and c-c-c or any other ordering of a, b, and c).

[0286] No element, act, or instruction used herein should be construed as critical or essential unless explicitly described as such. Also, as used herein, the articles “a” and “an” are intended to include one or more items and may be used interchangeably with “one or more.” Further, as used herein, the article “the” is intended to include one or more items referenced in connection with the article “the” and may be used interchangeably with “the one or more.” Furthermore, as used herein, the terms “set” and “group” are intended to include one or more items (e.g., related items, unrelated items, or a combination of related and unrelated items), and may be used interchangeably with “one or more.” Where only one item is intended, the phrase “only one” or similar language is used. Also, as used herein, the terms “has,” “have,” “having,” or the like are intended to be open-ended terms. Further, the phrase “based on” is intended to mean “based, at least in part, on” unless explicitly stated otherwise. Also, as used herein, the term “or” is intended to be inclusive when used in a series and may be used interchangeably with “and/or,” unless explicitly stated otherwise (e.g., if used in combination with “either” or “only one of’).
