Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés de sélection de ressources de signal de réveil à faible puissance (LP-WUS) à deux niveaux dans une unité de transmission de réception sans fil. Les procédés consistent à recevoir un premier LP-WUS dans une première ressource LP-WUS, le premier signal LP-WUS indiquant une seconde ressource LP-WUS ; activer et surveiller la seconde ressource LP-WUS après un temps d'activation associé à la seconde ressource LP-WUS ; démarrer un temporisateur après l'activation ; surveiller un canal physique de commande de liaison descendante (PDCCH) associé à la radiomessagerie, dans un cas où la WTRU reçoit un second LP-WUS dans la seconde ressource LP-WUS avant l'expiration du temporisateur ; et surveiller un LP-WUS dans la première ressource LP-WUS, dans un cas où la WTRU ne reçoit pas le second LP-WUS dans la seconde ressource LP-WUS avant l'expiration du temporisateur de réception. L'invention concerne également une WTRU configurée pour mettre en œuvre les procédés décrits.
