WAKE UP PROCEDURE FOR HIBERNATING CELL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18262040 titled 'WAKE UP PROCEDURE FOR HIBERNATING CELL

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to a wake-up procedure for a hibernating cell, allowing a network to be woken up and provide service when needed, without downgrading service quality or increasing power consumption.

  • Determining if configuration information for a wake-up signal is received from a second device
  • Obtaining reference parameters associated with the wake-up signal if configuration information is missing
  • Transmitting the wake-up signal to the second device based on the reference parameters

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, IoT, and smart devices where devices need to be woken up from hibernation mode to provide services.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures that a hibernating network can be woken up to provide service when required by a user equipment (UE). 2. Reduces power consumption of 5G sites without compromising service quality.

Benefits

1. Improved efficiency in network operations. 2. Enhanced user experience with uninterrupted service availability. 3. Cost savings through optimized power consumption.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Efficient Wake-Up Procedure for Hibernating Cells in 5G Networks" could be used in telecommunications companies, IoT device manufacturers, and smart home automation providers to enhance network performance and user experience.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to wake-up procedures for hibernating devices in various industries, but specific examples are not provided in this context.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life of devices in a network?

This technology could potentially extend battery life by reducing the need for devices to constantly remain active, thus conserving energy when not in use.

What are the potential security implications of transmitting wake-up signals to hibernating devices?

Transmitting wake-up signals could potentially pose security risks if not properly encrypted or authenticated, leading to unauthorized access or control over devices. Implementing robust security measures is crucial to mitigate such risks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of a wake up procedure for a hibernating cell. The method comprises determining whether configuration information for transmitting a wake up signal is received from a second device, the wake up signal used for waking up the second device in a hibernation mode; in accordance with a determination that the configuration information is missed, obtaining one or more reference parameters associated with the wake up signal; and transmitting the wake up signal to the second device based on the one or more reference parameters. In this way, a hibernating network could be waked up and provide service at any time when the UE requires the network service. The requirement for reducing power consumption of 5G site can be realized and meanwhile the service to be provided to the UE is not downgraded.
