    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for discontinuous reception (DRX) wake up procedures over millimeter wave (mmW) frequency resources. A base station may use multiple antenna ports to transmit one or more beamformed downlink transmissions to a user equipment (UE). The downlink transmissions may include beam-swept reference signals, and the UE may initiate a wake up procedure prior to a configured DRX-On cycle to receive the reference signals. Based on the reception of the reference signals, the UE may train a set of receive beams and determine a preferred downlink transmit beam. The base station may subsequently transmit at least a portion of a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) in a beam-swept manner, and the UE may evaluate the C-RNTI transmission on the preferred transmit beam. The UE may also transmit an uplink response indicating the preferred transmit beam to receive downlink data.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A base station may identify that data is available to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) that is operating in a discontinuous reception mode. The base station may transmit, based at least in part on identifying that the data is available to be transmitted to the UE, a wakeup message to the UE using a first transmit beam. The base station may initiate a beam management procedure based at least in part on identifying that the data is available to be transmitted to the UE, to identify a second transmit beam for the base station to use to transmit the available data to the UE, wherein the second transmit beam comprises a narrower beam width than the first transmit beam.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) being served by a first cell may receive a synchronization signal (SS) block from the first cell. The UE may also receive an SS block from a second cell. The first cell may determine synchronization assistance information for the second cell and transmit the synchronization assistance information to the UE. The UE may use the synchronization assistance information to determine the index for the SS block from the second cell. For example, the synchronization assistance information may indicate that the UE is to use the index of the SS block from the first cell as the index for the SS block from the second cell. Once the index for the SS block from the second cell is determined, the UE may identify the subframe or slot timing used by the second cell and proceed with cell acquisition.

    Abstract: Some wireless communication systems may operate in frequency ranges that are associated with beamformed transmissions between wireless devices. In such systems, a user equipment (UE) may be configured to monitor physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on multiple beam pair links. In order to decode relevant downlink control information (DCI), a UE may perform multiple blind decodes on a control region of a downlink transmission. Blind decoding may be resource-intensive (e.g., computationally complex, energy consuming, etc.), but some systems may be efficiently designed to support the desired PDCCH monitoring via multiple beam pair links without significantly increasing the number of blind decodes at the UE. Aspects of such a design may include non-uniform candidate restriction, beam pair link-specific search spaces, and random control channel element (CCE) mapping across a candidate search space.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for handover of a user equipment (UE) from a serving base station to a target base station. A target base station may use one or more directional beams to establish wireless communication links with UEs within a coverage area of the target base station. Directional beams may create a narrow-beam, high-bandwidth connection with a UE in a limited geographic area. Handover procedures include some latency between when a target base station dedicates resources to a UE and when the UE executes a communication via those dedicated resources. To compensate for latencies in a handover procedure and for the geographic limitations of directional beams, a target base station may assign multiple directional beams to the UE during a handover procedure. Each directional beam may be associated with access parameters used by the UE to generate messages (e.g., a RACH message) during the handover procedure.
