USER EQUIPMENT (UE) GROUPING FOR WAKE-UP SIGNAL (WUS) BASED ON PAGING PROBABILITY

摘要

Embodiments include methods for a user equipment (UE) to receive wake-up signals (WUS) from a network node in a radio access network (RAN) coupled to a core network (CN). Such methods include determining a WUS group assigned to the UE and a WUS resource associated with the assigned WUS group, based on the following: a paging probability (PP) indication assigned to the UE; a plurality of discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters; a mapping between a plurality of PP indication values and a plurality of available WUS groups; and a first identifier associated with the UE. Such methods also include, during a time period of the WUS resource, monitoring for a group WUS associated with the assigned WUS group. Embodiments also include complementary methods for network nodes in the RAN and the CN, as well as UEs and network nodes configured to perform such methods.Figure 10 is selected for publication.
