LEVERAGING INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL (IAB) RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FOR POWER SAVINGS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17525768 titled 'LEVERAGING INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL (IAB) RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FOR POWER SAVINGS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
This patent application describes a system for saving power in an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) network by leveraging a resource management protocol. Here are the key points:
- The system involves a first node (IAB node) receiving resource management information from a second node (IAB donor).
- The resource management information indicates an unavailable type of resource management configuration for a specific resource associated with the first node.
- The first node schedules a power save mode during the specific resource with the unavailable configuration to save power.
- The specific resource can be a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, or a spatial domain resource.
- During the power save mode, both non-exempt and exempt communications are restricted on the specific resource.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Power savings in integrated access and backhaul (IAB) networks.
- Efficient resource management in wireless communication systems.
- Optimization of power usage in network nodes.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Reducing power consumption in IAB networks.
- Improving resource management efficiency.
- Enhancing overall network performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Lower energy costs and reduced environmental impact.
- Improved network capacity and performance.
- Enhanced reliability and stability of wireless communication systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for leveraging a resource management protocol under an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) framework for power savings. In some aspects, a first node (such as an IAB node) may receive resource management information from a second node (such as an IAB donor). The resource management information may indicate an unavailable type of resource management configuration for the first resource associated with the first node. The first node may schedule a power save mode during the first resource having the unavailable type of resource management configuration for power savings. The first resource may be a time domain resource, a frequency domain resource, or a spatial domain resource. In some aspects, the first node may restrict both non-exempt and exempt communications during the first resource when the first node is in the power save mode.
