DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Subject matter will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and which show, by way of illustration, specific example embodiments. This description is not intended as an extensive or detailed discussion of known concepts. Details that are known generally to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may have been omitted, or may be handled in summary fashion.

The following subject matter may be embodied in a variety of different forms, such as methods, devices, components, and/or systems. Accordingly, this subject matter is not intended to be construed as limited to any example embodiments set forth herein. Rather, example embodiments are provided merely to be illustrative. Such embodiments may, for example, take the form of hardware, software, firmware or any combination thereof.

One or more computing devices and/or techniques for facilitating transmission of a configuration are provided. For example, a user equipment (UE) may connect to a (e.g., wireless communication) network. The UE may perform cell-specific radio resource management (RRM) measurements. The RRM measurements may be (e.g., transmitted and/or) used, for example, to enable the network to communicate with the UE reliably and/or with high data rates. The UE may perform an RRM measurement based upon a cell to derive one or more qualities of the cell (e.g., and/or a signal corresponding to the cell) . The UE may use a configuration corresponding to the cell to perform a RRM measurement based upon the cell. The UE may perform a RRM measurement based upon the cell (e.g., and/or perform cell detection) based upon a configuration comprised within an IDLE reference signal (RS) (e.g., received from the network) . The configuration may correspond to an IDLE RS measurement configuration in an IDLE state and/or an IDLE RS measurement configuration in a CONNECTED state. The UE may perform a RRM measurement based upon the cell (e.g., and/or cell detection) based upon one or more other (e.g., additional) RS. The one or more other RS may comprise a channel state information (CSI) RS and/or other information. The CSI RS may comprise a low layer CSI RS resource configuration for a first layer and/or a second layer and/or a high layer CSI RS resource configuration for a third layer. The UE may perform RRM measurements based upon a cell, manage (e.g., multiple antenna) beamforming applications and/or manage the first layer (e.g., physical layer) and/or the second layer (e.g., medium access control (MAC) layer) based upon the low layer CSI RS resource configuration for the first layer and/or the second layer. The UE may perform RRM measurements based upon a cell, manage the third layer (e.g., radio resource control (RRC) layer) and/or perform measurements for third layer mobility (e.g., and/or RRM mobility) based upon the high layer CSI RS resource configuration for the third layer. These RS configurations (e.g., their transmission, processing, etc. ) may result in signaling overhead, especially when the UE is functioning at high frequencies. The high layer CSI RS resource configuration for the third layer may be the same, partly the same, and/or different than the low layer CSI RS resource configuration for the first layer and/or the second layer. Accordingly, the UE may use the low layer CSI RS resource configuration for the first layer and/or the second layer as a configuration baseline for the high layer CSI RS resource configuration for the third layer to reduce signaling overhead. Alternatively and/or additionally, the UE may use the IDLE RS measurement configuration in an IDLE state as a configuration baseline for the IDLE RS measurement configuration in a CONNECTED state to reduce signaling overhead.

An example method 100A of facilitating transmission of a configuration from a first wireless node to a second wireless node is illustrated in Fig. 1A. The first wireless node may be a network and/or base station (BS) and the second wireless node may be a UE. The first wireless node may be required to transmit a configuration (e.g., CSI RS resource configuration, IDLE RS measurement configuration, etc. ) to the second wireless node.

Accordingly, at 105A, the first wireless node generates a core configuration. In some examples, the core configuration may be representative of a configuration baseline for one or more configurations. The one or more configurations may (e.g., respectively) correspond to a (e.g., specific and/or defined) configuration type for one or more layers and/or one or more states. For example, one or more low layer CSI RS resource configurations for a first layer and/or a second layer may correspond to a first configuration type, one or more high layer CSI RS resource configuration for a third layer may correspond to a second configuration type, one or more IDLE RS measurement configurations for an IDLE state may correspond to a third configuration type, one or more IDLE RS measurement configurations for a CONNECTED state may correspond to a fourth configuration type, etc. In some examples, the core configuration may correspond to the (e.g., same) configuration type as the one or more configurations for whom the core configuration represents a configuration baseline. In some examples, the core configuration may correspond to a (e.g., different) configuration type than the one or more configurations for whom the core configuration represents a configuration baseline.

At 110A, the first wireless node generates a modifier corresponding to the core configuration. In some examples, the core configuration and/or the modifier correspond to a (e.g., specific and/or defined) frequency. In some examples, the modifier may comprise overriding information, corresponding to information comprised within the core configuration, that may override at least some information comprised within the core configuration. In some examples, the modifier may comprise additional information that may be added and/or combined with information comprised within the core configuration.

The modifier may correspond to a configuration type, which may be the same as, or different than, the configuration type of the core configuration. In some examples, the core configuration may comprise a low layer CSI RS resource configuration for the first layer and/or second layer and/or the modifier may correspond to (e.g., and/or be representative of) a high layer CSI RS resource configuration for the third layer. Alternatively and/or additionally, the core configuration may comprise an IDLE RS measurement configuration for the IDLE state and/or the modifier may correspond to (e.g., and/or be representative of) an IDLE RS measurement configuration for the CONNECTED state. Alternatively and/or additionally, the core configuration may comprise a first IDLE RS measurement configuration for the IDLE state and/or the modifier may correspond to (e.g., and/or be representative of) a second IDLE RS measurement configuration for the IDLE state. Alternatively and/or additionally, the core configuration may comprise a first IDLE RS measurement configuration for the CONNECTED state and/or the modifier may correspond to (e.g., and/or be representative of) a second IDLE RS measurement configuration for the CONNECTED state.

At 115A, the first wireless node transmits the core configuration and/or the modifier to the second wireless node.

Alternatively and/or additionally, the first wireless node may generate a second modifier corresponding to the core configuration. The first wireless node may transmit the second modifier to the second wireless node. In some examples, the second modifier may correspond to the core configuration (e.g., and/or the configuration type corresponding to the core configuration) .

An example method 100B of facilitating transmission of a configuration from a first wireless node to a second wireless node is illustrated in Fig. 1B. The first wireless node may be a network and/or the second wireless node may be a UE. Accordingly, at 105B, the first wireless node determines a core configuration. At 110B, the first wireless node determines a cell configuration corresponding to a cell.

The core configuration may be representative of a configuration baseline for one or more configurations corresponding to one or more cells. The one or more configurations may comprise the cell configuration. The core configuration and/or the one or more configurations may correspond to a (e.g., specific and/or defined) frequency. At 115B, the first wireless node determines one or more distinctions between the core configuration and the cell configuration. At 120B, the first wireless node generates a modifier based upon the one or more distinctions. In some examples, the modifier may comprise overriding information, corresponding to information comprised within the core configuration, that may override at least some information comprised within the core configuration. In some examples, the modifier may comprise additional information that may be added and/or combined with information comprised within the core configuration.

The modifier may correspond to a configuration type, which may be the same as, or different than, a configuration type of the core configuration. In some examples, the core configuration may comprise a first high layer CSI RS resource configuration for a third layer and/or the modifier (e.g., and/or the one or more configurations) may correspond to (e.g., and/or be representative of) a second high layer CSI RS resource configuration for the third layer.

In some examples, a core cell configuration corresponding to a second cell may comprise the core configuration. At 125B, the first wireless node transmits the core configuration and the modifier to the second wireless node.

An example method 100C of facilitating reception of a configuration at a second wireless node from a first wireless node is illustrated in Fig. 1C. The first wireless node may be a network and the second wireless node may be a UE. The second wireless node may perform one or more actions using one or more configurations from the first wireless node. Accordingly, at 105C, the second wireless node receives a core configuration and a modifier from the first wireless node. The core configuration may comprise information and/or the modifier may comprise overriding information that may override at least some information comprised within the core configuration and/or additional information that may be added and/or combined with information comprised within the core configuration.

Alternatively and/or additionally, at 110C, the second wireless node generates a modified configuration by modifying the core configuration based upon the modifier. The second wireless node may modify the information (e.g., of the core configuration) based upon the overriding information and/or the additional information (e.g., of the modifier) to generate the modified configuration.

In some examples, the core configuration may be representative of a configuration baseline for one or more configurations corresponding to a (e.g., specific and/or defined) configuration type (e.g., a low layer CSI RS resource configuration for a first layer and/or a second layer, a high layer CSI RS resource configuration for a third layer, an IDLE RS measurement configuration for an IDLE state, an IDLE RS measurement configuration for a CONNECTED state, etc. ) . The one or more configurations may comprise the modified configuration.

In some examples, the core configuration may correspond to a (e.g., different) configuration type than the one or more configurations for whom the core configuration represents a configuration baseline. For example, the core configuration may comprise a low layer CSI RS resource configuration for a first layer and/or second layer and/or the one or more configurations may comprise a high layer CSI RS resource configuration for a third layer (e.g., and/or vice versa) . Alternatively and/or additionally, the core configuration may comprise an IDLE RS measurement configuration for an IDLE state and/or the one or more configurations may comprise an IDLE RS measurement configuration for a CONNECTED state (e.g., and/or vice versa) .

In some examples, the core configuration may correspond to the (e.g., same) configuration type as the one or more configurations for whom the core configuration represents a configuration baseline. For example, the core configuration may comprise a first high layer CSI RS resource configuration for the third layer and/or the one or more configurations may comprise a second high layer CSI RS resource configuration for the third layer. Alternatively and/or additionally, the core configuration may comprise a first IDLE RS measurement configuration for the IDLE state and/or the one or more configurations may comprise a second IDLE RS measurement configuration for the IDLE state. Alternatively and/or additionally, the core configuration may comprise a first IDLE RS measurement configuration for the CONNECTED state and/or the one or more configurations may comprise a second IDLE RS measurement configuration for the CONNECTED state.

At 115C, the second wireless node performs a first action based upon the core configuration. In some examples, the core configuration may comprise a low layer CSI RS resource configuration for the first layer and/or the second layer (e.g., and/or management of the first layer and/or the second layer) . The second wireless node may perform the first action based upon the core configuration by using (e.g., and/or managing and/or performing a RRM measurement based upon) a cell corresponding to the first layer and/or the second layer based upon the core configuration.

Alternatively and/or additionally, the core configuration may comprise a high layer CSI RS resource configuration for the third layer (e.g., and/or a third layer mobility) . The second wireless node may perform the first action based upon the core configuration by using (e.g., and/or managing and/or performing a RRM measurement based upon) a cell corresponding to the third layer based upon the core configuration.

In some examples, the core configuration may comprise an IDLE RS measurement configuration for an IDLE state.

Alternatively and/or additionally, the core configuration may comprise an IDLE RS measurement configuration for a CONNECTED state.

The core CSI RS resource configuration may comprise one or more CSI RS resource settings. Accordingly, the core CSI RS resource configuration may comprise a CSI RS resource setting, identified as CSI resource setting identification (ID) 1 505. In some examples, the CSI RS resource setting may be configured outside of a measurement object and/or measurement configuration information (e.g., measConfig) .

Accordingly, a CSI RS resource setting ID 3 of the CSI RS resource configuration 615 corresponds to (e.g., links to) a second CSI RS resource setting comprised within the core CSI RS resource configuration.

In some examples, a CSI RS resource setting ID 1 of the CSI RS resource configuration 615 corresponds to (e.g., links to) a CSI RS resource setting comprised within the core CSI RS resource configuration identified with the same CSI RS resource setting ID.
