Patent attributes
In aspects, a base station and a user equipment (UE) exchange synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) carrying a SFN identity, and a waveform of the SSBs has a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) symbol preceding a primary SS symbol. In aspects, a base station transmits a radio access network area code (RAN-AC) SS and RAN-AC page are quasi co-located (QCL). In aspects, a base station transmits a RAN-AC SS over a SFN while avoiding overlap of RAN-AC SS resources with channels employed for initial access of update area cells. In aspects, a base station provides a control resource set (CORESET) to a UE upon release from a connected state, and the UE receives a RAN-AC paging PDCCH based on the CORESET. In aspects, a base station transmits a SFN wake up signal (WUS) when there is a grant for paging, and the UE monitors for the WUS.
