MOBILITY OPTIMIZATION FOR NETWORK ENERGY SAVING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17883188 titled 'MOBILITY OPTIMIZATION FOR NETWORK ENERGY SAVING

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The focus is on supporting mobility optimization for network energy saving. The patent introduces a concept where user equipment (UE) in an idle or inactive mode receives an indication of an operation mode from a set of operation modes. Each network entity in a set of network entities is associated with an operation mode, including an energy saving mode and a baseline mode.

The UE then calculates a set of values for each network entity based on the received indication and one or more parameters associated with the operation mode of a respective network entity. The UE also selects a network entity from the set of network entities based on each value being greater than one or more thresholds.

  • Wireless communications systems can optimize network energy saving by supporting mobility.
  • User equipment (UE) in idle or inactive mode receives an indication of an operation mode.
  • Each network entity is associated with an operation mode, including energy saving and baseline modes.
  • The UE calculates values for each network entity based on the received indication and associated parameters.
  • The UE selects a network entity based on the calculated values exceeding certain thresholds.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Energy-efficient wireless communication systems
  • Mobile networks with optimized energy consumption
  • IoT devices with improved battery life
  • Smart city infrastructure with energy-saving wireless communication

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Reducing energy consumption in wireless communication systems
  • Optimizing network resources for improved efficiency
  • Extending battery life of mobile devices and IoT devices
  • Minimizing environmental impact of wireless communication infrastructure

Benefits of this technology:

  • Energy savings leading to reduced operational costs
  • Extended battery life for mobile devices and IoT devices
  • Improved network efficiency and resource allocation
  • Reduced environmental footprint of wireless communication systems


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Some wireless communications systems may support mobility optimization for network energy saving. In some cases, user equipment (UE), operating in an idle or inactive mode, may receive an indication of an operation mode from a set of operation modes, where each network entity of a set of network entities is associated with an operation mode from the set of operation modes, including at least an energy saving mode and a baseline mode. The UE may calculate a set of values for each network entity based on the received indication and one or more parameters associated with the operation mode of a respective network entity. Additionally, the UE may select a network entity from the set of network entities based on each value of the set of values associated with the selected network entity being greater than one or more thresholds.
