    Abstract: The power requirements of user equipments (UEs) are expected to increase as their capabilities increase. Some power saving methods have previously been proposed, but are limited by the radio resource control (RRC) protocol and do not address the power consumption associated with having to transition between different RRC states. In some embodiments described herein, there are not different RRC states, but instead a single RRC state. Within that single RRC state, there are different modes of operation, e.g. a default low power operation mode and an enhanced power operation mode. In some embodiments, the UE switches from the default operation mode to the enhanced operation mode on an on-demand basis (e.g. based on the communication capability required by the UE), and then returns back to the default operation mode.

    Abstract: It is desired to try to reduce power consumption in a transmit-and-receive point (TRP) in a wireless network. In some embodiments, to try to reduce overall power consumption, multiple (e.g. two) sets of radio frequency (RF) components are utilized by a TRP, one set having lower power consumption than the other set(s), and switching between the different sets during operation. For example, a TRP may include a first radio frequency unit (RFU) and a second RFU. The second RFU is designed to have higher power consumption than the first RFU. During operation, the TRP uses the second RFU to perform wireless communication in response to a trigger, and otherwise uses the first RFU to perform wireless communication.

    Abstract: A first communication apparatus obtains first configuration information, and performs carrier aggregation communication on at least two receive carriers based on the first configuration information. The first configuration information may indicate the first communication apparatus to perform carrier aggregation communication on the at least two receive carriers, the at least two receive carriers include a first receive carrier and a second receive carrier, the first receive carrier corresponds to a first communication standard, the second receive carrier corresponds to a second communication standard, and the first communication standard is different from the second communication standard.
