Wake-up signal assisted link management

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described to enable a base station to trigger link management for a user equipment (UE) via a wake up message (e.g., wake-up signal (WUS)). The base station may transmit a WUS to the UE as part of discontinuous reception operations and may indicate, via a link management triggering field of the WUS, one or more link management procedures to perform. The link management triggering field may refer to one or more indices in a table of reference signals (RSs) of a system, in a table of RSs for WUSs, or both. The UE may receive the WUS and may use the link management triggering field, and any corresponding tables, to identify one or more link management procedures to perform. The UE and the base station may perform the one or more link management procedures according to the information in the WUS.
