Abstract

Various aspects of the disclosure relate to event triggers for independent links. For example, an event trigger may be based on measurements from multiple links. In some aspects, the independent links may involve a first device (e.g., a user equipment) communicating via different independent links with different devices (e.g., transmit receive points (TRPs) or sets of TRPs). For example, the first device may communicate with a second device (e.g., a TRP) via a first link and communicate with a third device (e.g., a TRP) via a second link. In some scenarios, an event trigger may be based on aggregated measurements from multiple links.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of communication for an apparatus, comprising:
obtaining first measurement information for a first wireless communication link, wherein the obtaining of the first measurement information comprises a first measurement operation using a first beam; generating a first event trigger based on the first measurement information; obtaining second measurement information for a second wireless communication link, wherein the obtaining of the second measurement information comprises a second measurement operation using a second beam, and wherein the second measurement operation is independent of the first measurement operation; and generating a second event trigger based on the second measurement information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
communicating first transport blocks via the first wireless communication link; communicating second transport blocks via the second wireless communication link; and processing the first transport blocks independently of the second transport blocks.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the processing comprises error processing.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the processing comprises cyclic redundancy check (CRC) processing.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein:
the communication of the first transport blocks is via the first beam; and the communication of the second transport blocks is via the second beam.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
communicating via the first wireless communication link using a first radio frequency (RF) chain of the apparatus; and communicating via the second wireless communication link using a second RF chain of the apparatus.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
communicating via the first wireless communication link using a first antenna sub-array of the apparatus; and communicating via the second wireless communication link using a second antenna sub-array of the apparatus.

8 . An apparatus for communication, comprising:
one or more memories; and one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories and configured to:
obtain first measurement information for a first wireless communication link, wherein the obtaining of the first measurement information comprises a first measurement operation using a first beam;
generate a first event trigger based on the first measurement information;
obtain second measurement information for a second wireless communication link, wherein the obtaining of the second measurement information comprises a second measurement operation using a second beam, and wherein the second measurement operation is independent of the first measurement operation; and
generate a second event trigger based on the second measurement information.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
communicate first transport blocks via the first wireless communication link; communicate second transport blocks via the second wireless communication link; and process the first transport blocks independently of the second transport blocks.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein error processing of the first transport blocks is independent of error processing of the second transport blocks.

11 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein cyclic redundancy check (CRC) processing of the first transport blocks is independent of CRC processing of the second transport blocks.

12 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein:
the communication of the first transport blocks is via the first beam; and the communication of the second transport blocks is via the second beam.

13 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
communicate on the first wireless communication link using a first radio frequency (RF) chain of the apparatus; and communicate on the second wireless communication link using a second RF chain of the apparatus.

14 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
communicate via the first wireless communication link using a first antenna sub-array of the apparatus; and communicate via the second wireless communication link using a second antenna sub-array of the apparatus.

15 . An apparatus for communication, comprising:
means for obtaining first measurement information for a first wireless communication link, wherein the obtaining of the first measurement information comprises a first measurement operation using a first beam; means for generating a first event trigger based on the first measurement information; means for obtaining second measurement information for a second wireless communication link, wherein the obtaining of the second measurement information comprises a second measurement operation using a second beam, and wherein the second measurement operation is independent of the first measurement operation; and means for generating a second event trigger based on the second measurement information.

16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , further comprising:
means for communicating first transport blocks via the first wireless communication link; means for communicating second transport blocks via the second wireless communication link; and means for processing the first transport blocks independently of the second transport blocks.

17 . The apparatus of claim 15 , further comprising:
means for communicating on the first wireless communication link using a first radio frequency (RF) chain of the apparatus; and means for communicating on the second wireless communication link using a second RF chain of the apparatus.

18 . The apparatus of claim 15 , further comprising:
means for communicating via the first wireless communication link using a first antenna sub-array of the apparatus; and means for communicating via the second wireless communication link using a second antenna sub-array of the apparatus.
