INTERACTION OF DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (DRX) WITH POSITIONING REFERENCE SIGNAL (PRS) RESOURCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18063547 titled 'INTERACTION OF DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (DRX) WITH POSITIONING REFERENCE SIGNAL (PRS) RESOURCES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication, specifically related to a user equipment (UE) operating in discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The UE receives a DRX configuration and a reference signal resource configuration.
- Based on these configurations, the UE determines if there is an overlap between a reference signal occasion and an active time of the DRX configuration.
- If there is an overlap, the UE receives or transmits at least a first reference signal during the reference signal occasion.
- After the active time expires, the UE remains in an active state of the DRX configuration and continues to receive or transmit at least a second reference signal during the remaining reference signal occasions.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems and networks
- Mobile devices and smartphones
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Machine-to-machine (M2M) communication
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient utilization of network resources by determining overlaps between reference signal occasions and active times of the DRX configuration.
- Improved reliability and performance of wireless communication by ensuring the reception or transmission of reference signals during the appropriate time intervals.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced power efficiency by operating in DRX mode and only activating the UE during specific time intervals.
- Improved signal quality and reliability by receiving or transmitting reference signals at the right time.
- Optimal utilization of network resources by avoiding unnecessary reference signal transmissions or receptions.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) operating in discontinuous reception (DRX) mode receives a DRX configuration, receives a reference signal resource configuration, determines, at least based on the DRX configuration and the reference signal resource configuration, whether an overlap exists between a reference signal occasion of a plurality of reference signal occasions of the reference signal resource configuration and an active time of the DRX configuration, receives or transmits at least based on a determined overlap, at least a first reference signal in the reference signal occasion, and receives or transmits, while remaining in an active state of the DRX configuration, at least based on the determined overlap, at least a second reference signal in remaining reference signal occasions of the plurality of reference signal occasions after expiration of the active time.
