Summary of Agreements by Topic
1. Evaluation on Low Power WUS
- Evaluation Methodology:
- Performance metrics include power consumption, latency,
coverage, and robustness.
- Power models for LP-WUR include "Ultra-deep
sleep" and "On/Off" states with specific relative power
values and transition energy assumptions.
- FAR (False Alarm Rate) and MDR (Miss Detection Rate)
targets are defined for evaluation purposes.
- Coverage evaluation uses MIL (Maximum Isotropic Loss) as
a metric, with scenarios including urban, rural, and long-distance rural
environments.
- Reference NR channels for comparison include PDCCH for
paging and PUSCH for message3.
- Power Consumption:
- LP-WUR power states are categorized into "Off"
and "On" with relative power values ranging from 0.001 to 4
units.
- Transition energy and ramp-up times are specified for
evaluation purposes.
- Latency:
- Defined as the interval between data arrival at gNB and
UE response, including sync/re-sync times.
- Coverage:
- MIL margin is used to compare LP-WUS with NR reference
channels.
- Observations include differences in assumptions for
antenna gain corrections and HARQ configurations.
- System Impact:
- Metrics include system overhead, capacity impact, and
network power consumption.
2. Low Power WUS Receiver Architectures
- Receiver Types:
- Three main architectures studied: RF envelope detection,
heterodyne with IF envelope detection, and homodyne/zero-IF with baseband
envelope detection.
- Observations on power consumption, noise figure, and
sensitivity for each architecture.
- FSK Architectures:
- Parallel OOK receivers and frequency-to-amplitude
conversion methods are studied for FSK waveforms.
- Baseband Processing:
- Techniques like Goertzel filters and FFT are considered
for signal processing.
- Observations on power reduction compared to main radio.
- Multiplexing:
- LP-WUS can be flexibly configured within a carrier for
multiplexing with other NR signals.
3. L1 Signal Design and Procedure
- Waveform Generation:
- Multiple waveforms studied, including OOK (Options 1-4),
FSK (Options 1-2), and OFDMA.
- Observations on robustness to timing and frequency
errors, spectral efficiency, and diversity techniques.
- Synchronization:
- LP-SS (Low Power Synchronization Signal) is beneficial
for coarse time and frequency synchronization.
- LP-SS coverage should be equal to or better than LP-WUS.
- RRM Measurements:
- Metrics include LP-RSSI, LP-RSRP, LP-SINR, and LP-RSRQ.
- Relaxation of RRM measurements in MR is considered under
certain conditions.
- Coverage Enhancement Techniques:
- Techniques include channel coding, spreading codes,
time-domain repetition, frequency hopping, and power boosting.
- Activation/Deactivation:
- Options for LP-WUS monitoring activation/deactivation
include signaling, preconfigured criteria, and UE implementation.
4. Conclusions
- Waveform Recommendations:
- OFDMA and OOK waveforms (with or without OFDMA sequences)
are recommended for possible down-selection.
- System Impact:
- LP-WUS provides significant power-saving gains compared
to legacy i-DRX operations under certain conditions.
- Flexibility:
- LP-WUS can be flexibly configured within a carrier,
supporting multiplexing with other NR signals.
This summary captures the key agreements across evaluation,
receiver architectures, signal design, and conclusions for the study on
low-power wake-up signals and receivers for NR.
