    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to enter a radio resource control (RRC) state with a base station wherein network operations are performed using a main radio (MR), receive a first set of parameters from the base station for wakeup radio (WUR) state operation wherein the UE enables a WUR and powers down the MR to an off or deep sleep state, the first set of parameters including a parameter enabling the WUR state operation and a configuration of WUR reference signaling (WUR-RS), receive a second set of parameters from the base station for WUR setup and a WUR signal (WUR-S) configuration and enter the WUR state from the RRC state, wherein, while in the WUR state, the UE performs uses the WUR including at least one of monitoring for the WUR-S, measuring the WUR-RS, or implementing a WUR discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle for WUR-S and WUR-RS signal monitoring.

    Abstract: Described are approaches to multi-cell PUSCH/PDSCH scheduling with a single DCI (downlink control information) in a wireless communication system. In one approach, only one component carrier is configured with the multi-cell scheduling DCIs, with no DCI configured on the other component carriers. In a second approach, all of the component carriers can be configured with the multi-cell scheduling DCIs. In a third option, one component carrier is configured with multi-cell scheduling DCI only, while the other component carriers can be configured with the legacy single-cell scheduling DCIs. In a fourth option, one component carrier is configured with both multi-cell scheduling DCIs and the legacy single-cell scheduling DCIs, while the other component carriers can be configured with the legacy single-cell scheduling DCIs. In the fifth option, all the component carriers can be configured with both multi-cell scheduling DCIs and the legacy single-cell scheduling DCIs. In addition, dropping rules are described for the situations of overbooking, i.e., when the number of PDCCH candidates exceeds the capabilities of the user equipment (UE). Potential dropping rules include following the legacy procedure, and providing higher priority to candidates with user-specific search spaces with multi-cell scheduling DCIs. Also described is the impact on DCI formats to accommodate single-cell and multi-cell scheduling DCIs on the same component carrier. Finally, limits on the number and sizes of the DCIs are described.
