Summary of Agreements by Topic for Rel-19 Network Energy
Savings (NES)
On-Demand SSB SCell Operation
- Time Location Between Always-On SSB and On-Demand SSB:
- No restriction on overlapping time locations between
always-on SSB and on-demand SSB.
- Supported cases:
- Union of AO-SSB and OD-SSB transmission has a periodic
or non-periodic time domain pattern.
- Time instance A for OD-SSB transmission is determined
based on the active UL BWP SCS where UE transmits ACK for MAC-CE.
- Frequency Location:
- If AO-SSB is CD-SSB on sync raster, OD-SSB frequency
location is different and not on sync raster.
- AO-SSB and OD-SSB are located in the same BWP.
- Deactivation of OD-SSB:
- Supported via MAC-CE or based on the configured number of
bursts (od-ssb-nrofBurst).
- Time instance B for deactivation is determined based on
the slot where MAC-CE is received.
- Higher Layer Parameters for OD-SSB Configuration:
- Parameters include frequency, SSB positions, periodicity,
sub-carrier spacing, physical cell ID, time location, transmit power, and
number of bursts.
- Separate configuration for AO-SSB and OD-SSB supported.
- Measurement and Reporting:
- CSI report configuration can be associated with AO-SSB,
OD-SSB, or both.
- UE behavior for measurement is up to implementation,
provided RAN4 requirements are met.
On-Demand SIB1 for Idle/Inactive Mode UEs
- UL-WUS Configuration:
- Parameters include PhysCellId, ARFCN-ValueNR, K_SSB,
searchSpaceZero, controlResourceSetZero, ra-PreambleStartIndex,
od-sib1-duration, and od-sib1-windowStartOffset.
- CarrierBandwidth and locationAndBandwidth included for
MPR calculation.
- PDCCH Monitoring for OD-SIB1:
- UE monitors PDCCH occasions corresponding to SSB
associated with transmitted PRACH for UL-WUS.
- Indication of K_SSB value in UL-WUS configuration is 5
bits for FR1 and 4 bits for FR2.
- Time Window for OD-SIB1:
- Reference time point is the starting slot of the RAR
window for UL-WUS.
- Time offset between reference point and window start is
indicated in UL-WUS configuration.
- Support for Multiple NES-CellId(s):
- How to support multiple NES-CellId(s) is up to RAN2
discussion.
- Joint PRACH Request:
- No consensus to support joint PRACH request for
triggering both OD-SIB1 and OD-OSI.
Adaptation of Common Signal/Channel Transmissions
- PRACH Adaptation:
- Additional PRACH resources configured within the same
RACH-ConfigCommon in SIB1.
- DCI format 1_0 with P-RNTI used for adaptation
indication.
- PRACH mask applicable at the unit of PRACH association
period.
- SSB Adaptation:
- UE can be configured with up to 2 additional SSB burst
periodicities for an SCell.
- DCI format 2_9 used for SSB burst periodicity adaptation,
scrambled with a new RNTI.
- Validity Duration for PRACH Resources:
- Configured via higher layer signaling, with options for
multiples of SI modification periods.
- PRACH Mask Details:
- Semi-static signaling of PRACH mask index and association
pattern periods supported.
General Agreements
- No New SSB Burst Periodicity Values:
- Legacy values (5 ms, 10 ms, 20 ms, 40 ms, 80 ms, 160 ms)
retained.
- No Support for SSB Adaptation in Time Domain for
CD-SSB:
- Adaptation of transmitted number of SSBs within a burst
or time domain positions not supported.
- DCI-Based Adaptation:
- DCI format 1_0 with P-RNTI used for PRACH adaptation.
- Validity duration and reference point for availability
information defined.
- UE Behavior for OD-SIB1:
- UE does not monitor Type 0 PDCCH occasions for OD-SIB1
before successfully receiving RAR in response to UL-WUS.
This summary consolidates the agreements across various
topics discussed in Rel-19 NES enhancements.
