USER EQUIPMENT POWER OPTIMIZATION IN MILLIMETER WAVE ACCESS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- listening for a device-to-device communication of a first wireless network using a first radio access technology (RAT), the UE in an idle state for a second RAT;
receiving the device-to-device communication using the first RAT, the device-to-device communication comprising location information for a base station of a second wireless network;
activating radio components of the UE into an active state based at least in part on the location information for the base station of the second wireless network, the radio components configured to support communications using the second RAT; and
initiating a cell search procedure for the second RAT using the activated radio components.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A method at a user equipment (UE) may include listening for a device-to-device communication of a first wireless network using a first radio access technology (RAT), the UE in an idle state for a second RAT. The UE may receive the periodic device-to-device communication using the first RAT, the device-to-device communication including location information and quality for a base station of a second wireless network. The UE may then activate radio components of the UE into an active state based at least in part on the location information for the base station of the second wireless network, the radio components configured to support communications using the second RAT, and initiate the first mmW cell search attach procedure using the activated radio components.
