CONCURRENT LOW POWER WAKE UP RADIO (LP-WUR) AND MAIN RADIO (MR) OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937105 titled 'CONCURRENT LOW POWER WAKE UP RADIO (LP-WUR) AND MAIN RADIO (MR) OPERATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) involving the use of a wake-up signal associated with a second radio with lower power consumption than a first radio at the UE. The UE receives a configuration for the wake-up signal, including a starting time for the operation of the first radio based on the reception of the wake-up signal via the second radio.

  • The apparatus is configured to receive a configuration for a wake-up signal associated with a second radio.
  • The configuration includes a starting time for the operation of the first radio based on the reception of the wake-up signal.
  • The apparatus receives the wake-up signal via the second radio.
  • The operation of the first radio starts at the starting time following the reception of the wake-up signal via the second radio.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various wireless communication devices to improve power efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Problems Solved

1. Reducing power consumption in wireless communication devices. 2. Efficiently managing the operation of multiple radios in a UE.

Benefits

1. Extended battery life for devices. 2. Improved overall energy efficiency in wireless communication systems.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing power usage in IoT devices for smart homes.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to power management techniques in wireless communication devices, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

How does the wake-up signal impact the overall performance of the wireless communication system?

The abstract does not delve into the specific effects of the wake-up signal on the system's performance.

Are there any limitations to the use of the wake-up signal in this method?

The abstract does not mention any potential limitations or drawbacks of using the wake-up signal for wireless communication.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) and related apparatus are provided. The apparatus is configured to receive a configuration for a wake-up signal associated with a second radio having a lower power consumption than a first radio at the UE. The configuration includes a starting time for an operation of the first radio based on a reception of the wake-up signal. The apparatus is further configured to receive the wake-up signal via the second radio, and start the operation of the first radio at the starting time following the reception of the wake-up signal via the second radio.
