TECHNIQUES FOR REDUCING WAKEUP LATENCY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17482211 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR REDUCING WAKEUP LATENCY

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described in this patent application. The innovation involves a data layer at a user equipment (UE) that provides information to a modem power manager. This information helps the power manager determine whether to keep resources active or power them off for transmitting an uplink message.

• The data layer provides information associated with the uplink message to the modem power manager.
• The information includes details such as the radio access technology, subscriber identifier, and bearer type.
• This information helps the power manager identify which radios to wake up or avoid putting to sleep.
• By utilizing this information, the power manager can determine if the wakeup is related to uplink data.
• The power manager can acquire the necessary resources indicated by the information to support the wakeup.
• Resources are not put to sleep if the scheduled and unscheduled wakeup resource requirements match.

Potential Applications

• Wireless communication systems and devices
• Mobile networks and cellular technologies
• Power management in user equipment

Problems Solved

• Efficient power management in wireless communication devices
• Optimizing resource usage for uplink message transmission
• Avoiding unnecessary power consumption in radios

Benefits

• Improved power efficiency in wireless communication devices
• Enhanced resource allocation for uplink message transmission
• Reduced power consumption and extended battery life in user equipment

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A data layer at a user equipment (UE) may provide information associated with an uplink message to a modem power manager to determine whether to keep resources which are brought up by the scheduler or to power them off for transmitting the uplink message. For example, the data layer may indicate a radio access technology, a subscriber identifier, and a bearer type associated with the uplink message, which may enable the modem power manager to identify which radios to wake up (e.g., or avoid putting to sleep). Utilizing the information may enable the modem power manager to determine whether the wakeup is related to uplink data, acquire information to support the wakeup with resources indicated by the information, and avoid putting resources to sleep if the scheduled and the unscheduled wakeup resource requirements match.
