PAGING EARLY INDICATION FOR MULTICAST GROUP NOTIFICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17383737 titled 'PAGING EARLY INDICATION FOR MULTICAST GROUP NOTIFICATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It focuses on improving multicast paging operations between a user equipment (UE) and a base station. Here are the key points:
- The UE receives control signaling from the base station, indicating parameters related to the reception of paging early indications (PEIs).
- The UE then receives a PEI from the base station based on the indicated parameters.
- Using the PEI, the UE determines if it is scheduled to receive a multicast paging message from the base station in a subsequent paging occasion (PO).
- If the UE is scheduled to receive the multicast paging message, it monitors for the message during the subsequent PO.
- If the UE is not scheduled to receive the multicast paging message, it enters a low-power state during the subsequent PO, resulting in greater power savings.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems and devices
- Cellular networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient power management for UE devices during multicast paging operations
- Reducing unnecessary power consumption by UEs that are not scheduled to receive multicast paging messages
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved power savings for UEs by entering a low-power state when not expecting multicast paging messages
- Enhanced efficiency in multicast paging operations between UEs and base stations
- Extended battery life for wireless devices
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, control signaling that indicates one or more parameters pertaining to reception of paging early indications (PEIs). The UE may receive a PEI from the base station in accordance with the one or more parameters. The UE may determine, based on the PEI, whether the UE is scheduled to receive a multicast paging message from the base station in a subsequent paging occasion (PO). If the UE is scheduled to receive a multicast paging message, the UE may monitor for the multicast paging message in the subsequent PO. Otherwise, the UE may enter a low-power state during the subsequent PO, which may result in greater power savings at the UE. Aspects of the present disclosure may provide for improved multicast paging operations between the UE and the base station.
