Wakeup signaling in an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit a signal to a base station indicating a UE capability configuration. The UE may receive, over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, a wakeup signal during a monitoring period, the wakeup signal indicating that wireless communications are to be performed between the UE and the base station during an active time period. The UE may identify a guard time period upon receiving the wakeup signal, wherein the guard time period is based at least in part on the UE capability configuration. The UE may perform, after an expiration of the guard time period, the wireless communications with the base station during the active time period.
