METHODS FOR DORMANT CELL SIGNALING FOR ADVANCED CELLULAR NETWORK
First Claim
1. A user equipment for wireless communication over a wireless network with at least one base station comprising:
- a transceiver operable to communicate with the at least one base station by transmitting radio frequency signals to the at least one base station and by receiving radio frequency signals from the at least one base station, the transceiver configured to;
receive a discovery signal from a base station of the at least one base station, the discovery signal comprising a discovery signal identifier; and
receive a synchronization signal or reference signal, the synchronization signal or the reference signal comprising a physical cell identifier; and
a processing circuitry configured to;
determine whether the discovery cell identifier matches the physical cell identifier; and
responsive to the discovery cell identifier matching the physical cell identifier, identify that the base station is active or in coverage.

Abstract
User equipment for wireless communication with at least one base station includes a transceiver operable to communicate with the at least one base station by transmitting radio frequency signals to the at least one base station and by receiving radio frequency signals from the at least one base station. The transceiver is configured to receive a discovery signal from a base station of the at least one base station, the discovery signal comprising a discovery signal identifier. The transceiver is also configured to receive a synchronization signal or reference signal, the synchronization signal or the reference signal comprising a physical cell identifier. The user equipment also includes processing circuitry configured to determine whether the discovery cell identifier matches the physical cell identifier. The processing circuitry is also configured to, responsive to the discovery cell identifier matching the physical cell identifier, identifying that the base station is active or in coverage
