ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING DUAL CONNECTIVITY AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 16971122 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING DUAL CONNECTIVITY AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that has two communication processors for supporting network communication with different networks. When the second communication processor is in a power-saving mode called discontinuous reception (DRX), the first communication processor identifies and transmits an uplink packet using the first network communication. The second communication processor remains in the DRX mode during the transmission.
- The electronic device has two communication processors for different networks.
- The first communication processor identifies and transmits an uplink packet when the second communication processor is in a power-saving mode.
- The second communication processor remains in the power-saving mode during the transmission.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in smartphones, tablets, or other electronic devices that require communication with multiple networks simultaneously.
- It can be used in IoT devices that need to transmit data to different networks while conserving power.
Problems Solved
- The technology allows for efficient utilization of network resources by utilizing the first communication processor when the second one is in a power-saving mode.
- It solves the problem of maintaining network connectivity while conserving power in electronic devices with multiple communication processors.
Benefits
- Improved power efficiency by utilizing the first communication processor when the second one is in a power-saving mode.
- Seamless network connectivity even when one communication processor is in a power-saving mode.
- Optimal utilization of network resources by transmitting data using the available communication processor.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first communication processor configured to support first network communication with a first network, and a second communication processor configured to support second network communication with a second network, which is different from the first network. If both the first network communication and the second network communication are configured to be in a state capable of transmitting data, when the second communication processor is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, the first communication processor is configured to identify an uplink packet to be transmitted and transmit the uplink packet using the first network communication, based on identifying that the second communication processor is in the DRX mode, and the second communication processor maintains the DRX mode, while the uplink packet is transmitted. Other various embodiments may be possible.
