EARLY SLEEP STATE FOR CIRCUITRY ASSOCIATED WITH SYNCHRONIZATION WAKEUP PERIODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17380910 titled 'EARLY SLEEP STATE FOR CIRCUITRY ASSOCIATED WITH SYNCHRONIZATION WAKEUP PERIODS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The patent application presents a method for wireless communication that involves synchronizing wake-up periods and making measurements of specific signals from a base station.
- During the first synchronization wake-up period, the RF circuitry and FW circuitry are active, and the UE (User Equipment) measures one or more SSBs (Synchronization Signal Blocks) from a base station.
- Based on these measurements, the UE predicts a second SSB at which it should wake up for a second synchronization wake-up period.
- Once the FW (Firmware) post-processing operations are completed, the RF circuitry and FW circuitry transition from the active state to a sleep state.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve synchronization and power management.
- It can enhance the efficiency and reliability of wireless communication between user devices and base stations.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The technique addresses the challenge of efficient power management in wireless communication devices.
- It solves the problem of accurately predicting the timing of wake-up periods based on measurements of specific signals.
- It improves synchronization between user devices and base stations, leading to better overall performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- The method allows for more efficient use of power by transitioning the RF circuitry and FW circuitry to a sleep state when not actively needed.
- It enables accurate prediction of wake-up periods, reducing unnecessary wake-ups and conserving energy.
- The improved synchronization leads to better signal reception and transmission, resulting in enhanced communication quality and reliability.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, during a first synchronization wakeup period while RF circuitry and the FW circuitry are set to an active state, one or more measurements of one or more SSBs of a first SSBS from a base station. The UE predicts, during the first synchronization wakeup period while the RF circuitry and the FW circuitry are in the active state, a second SSBS at which to wake up for a second synchronization wakeup period based on the one or more measurements. In response to completion of FW post-processing operations, the UE transitions the RF circuitry and the FW circuitry from the active state to a sleep state.
