ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR RECEIVING PAGING MESSAGE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18107202 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR RECEIVING PAGING MESSAGE AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an embodiment of an electronic device that can receive synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) blocks (SSBs) from a network and identify corresponding time slots. In a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, the device selects a time slot based on a previous measurement result and wakes up in that time slot to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).
- The electronic device receives multiple SSBs from a network.
- It identifies the time slots corresponding to the received SSBs.
- In DRX mode, the device selects a time slot based on a previous measurement result.
- The device wakes up in the selected time slot to monitor a PDCCH.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to improve power efficiency and reduce the need for continuous monitoring of control channels.
Problems Solved
1. Power consumption: The discontinuous reception (DRX) mode allows the device to conserve power by selectively monitoring control channels only in specific time slots. 2. Efficient monitoring: By selecting time slots based on previous measurement results, the device can optimize its monitoring activity and reduce unnecessary wake-ups.
Benefits
1. Power efficiency: The DRX mode helps to extend the battery life of electronic devices by reducing power consumption during idle periods. 2. Improved network efficiency: By selectively monitoring control channels, the device can reduce unnecessary signaling and improve overall network efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to an embodiment, an electronic device may comprise: a memory, at least one communication circuit, and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: receive, via the at least one communication circuit, multiple synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) blocks (SSBs) from a network; identify multiple time slots corresponding to the multiple SSBs, respectively; in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, based on a measurement result of a signal measured in at least one of the multiple time slots in a previous period, select at least one time slot in which monitoring is to be performed in a current period; and wake up in the selected at least one time slot to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).
