OPERATION METHOD OF USER EQUIPMENT USING CONNECTED MODE DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18054579 titled 'OPERATION METHOD OF USER EQUIPMENT USING CONNECTED MODE DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method to improve the efficiency of a user equipment (UE) that supports mobility mechanisms while using connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX). CDRX is a power-saving feature in cellular networks where the UE periodically enters a sleep mode to conserve power.

  • The UE measures objects (e.g., signal strength, quality) using a shorter minimum measurement period when not using CDRX (No DRX minimum measurement period).
  • This allows the UE to measure objects more frequently, improving mobility performance.
  • The UE still reports the measurements according to the longer minimum measurement period used during CDRX (DRX minimum measurement period).
  • By reporting measurements less frequently, the UE can sleep during more off-durations of a CDRX cycle, reducing power consumption.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in cellular networks to improve the efficiency of UE devices supporting mobility mechanisms.
  • It can be used in various industries that rely on mobile communication, such as telecommunications, transportation, and IoT.

Problems Solved

  • The technology addresses the issue of power consumption in UE devices using CDRX.
  • It solves the problem of infrequent measurements during CDRX cycles, which can impact mobility performance.

Benefits

  • Improved mobility performance due to more frequent measurements of objects.
  • Reduced power consumption by allowing the UE to sleep during more off-durations of a CDRX cycle.


Original Abstract Submitted

The devices, systems, methods, and techniques described herein provide for efficient operation of a user equipment (UE) configured to support mobility mechanisms while using connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX). In some aspects, a UE configured to use CDRX may measure objects according to a No DRX minimum measurement period (e.g., a minimum measurement period configured when no DRX is used). Because the No DRX minimum measurement period may be shorter than a DRX minimum measurement period, the UE may be able to measure objects more frequently and improve mobility performance. Further, although the UE may perform measurements according to the No DRX minimum measurement period, the UE may still report the measurements according to a DRX minimum measurement period. Thus, the UE may report measurements less frequently, and the UE may sleep during more off-durations of a CDRX cycle, resulting in reduced power consumption.
