TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING NETWORK OPERATION MODE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17897023 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR INDICATING NETWORK OPERATION MODE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
- Explanation:**
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications where a network entity can operate in multiple modes with different energy consumption levels. The network entity can provide user equipment (UE) with a set of operation modes, allowing for selection of different modes for communication between the UE and the network entity.
- The network entity can communicate with the UE using a first operation mode.
- The network entity can indicate a second operation mode, such as a lower power mode.
- The UE and network entity can then communicate according to the second operation mode for the specified time interval.
- Potential Applications:**
- Mobile communication networks
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Smart home devices
- Problems Solved:**
- Managing energy consumption in wireless communications
- Providing flexibility in communication modes based on power requirements
- Improving efficiency of communication between network entities and user equipment
- Benefits:**
- Reduced energy consumption
- Enhanced battery life for devices
- Improved communication reliability
- Flexibility in adapting to different power requirements
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which a network entity may operate using multiple operation modes, where different operation modes are associated with different energy consumption. A network entity may provide one or more user equipment (UE) with a set of operation modes, and each operation mode of the set of operation modes may be selectable for communications between the one or more UEs and the network entity for associated time intervals. The network entity and one or more UEs may communicate using a first operation mode, and the network entity may provide an indication of a second operation mode (e.g., a lower power mode). Based on the indication of the second operation mode, the one or more UEs and the network entity may communicate according to the second operation mode for the time interval associated with the second operation mode.
