Network Node and Methods Therein - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18034829 titled 'Network Node and Methods Therein

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by a network node to communicate with a wireless device (WD). The method involves determining the status of a data radio bearer (DRB) of the WD and based on this status, determining the configurations of one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs) and/or search spaces (SS) for the WD.

  • The method enables a power saving mode for the WD when the DRB status is inactive by configuring the WD with an SS configuration from the determined BWPs and SS configurations.
  • When the DRB status is active, the power saving mode is disabled or not enabled.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be applied in wireless communication networks to optimize power consumption of wireless devices.
  • It can be used in various wireless communication protocols and standards to improve energy efficiency.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Power consumption is a significant concern in wireless communication devices, and this method helps in reducing power usage by enabling a power saving mode when the DRB status is inactive.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved energy efficiency and extended battery life for wireless devices.
  • Reduced power consumption leads to lower operating costs and environmental impact.
  • Enhanced performance and reliability of wireless communication networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method performed by a network node that is configured to communicate with a WD is provided. The method comprises determining () a data radio bearer (DRB) status of the WD; determining () one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs) and/or one or more search space (SS) configurations of one or more BWPs for the WD based on the DRB status; when the DRB status is inactive, enabling () a power saving mode for the WD by configuring the WD with an SS configuration from the determined one or more SS configurations of the one or more BWPs for the WD based at least on the DRB status; and when the DRB status is active, disabling () the power saving mode or not enabling the power saving mode.
