ADAPTIVE MONITORING FOR CONTROL MESSAGES

Abstract:

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may monitor, within an activation period for a control channel associated with the UE, for messages from a base station within first monitoring occasions defined by a first monitoring pattern. The UE may further monitor, after expiry of a timer associated with the first monitoring pattern, for messages from the base station within second monitoring occasions defined by a second monitoring pattern. In some aspects, the UE may receive, while monitoring within the first monitoring occasions, control information from the base station, and reset the timer associated with the first monitoring pattern. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may monitor, after expiry of a timer associated with the second monitoring pattern, for messages from the base station within third monitoring occasions defined by a third monitoring pattern. Numerous other aspects are provided.
