Low-Power Wake-Up Signal Design in 3GPP 5G-Advanced Release 19

Authors: Sebastian Wagner

Submitted to European Wireless 2025

Abstract: The Low-Power Wake-Up Signal (LP-WUS) and Low-Power Synchronization Signal (LP-SS), introduced in 3GPP 5G-Advanced Release 19, represent a major step forward in enabling power-efficient IoT communications. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the LP-WUS and LP-SS procedures in the RRC_IDLE and RRC_INACTIVE states, and outlines key physical layer design choices. The LP-WUS is designed to be detected by a low-power energy detector (ED), allowing the main radio (MR) to remain switched off. This architecture enables power savings of up to 80% compared to conventional 5G paging mechanisms.
