MULTIPLE ACTIVE DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (DRX) CONFIGURATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18334319 titled 'MULTIPLE ACTIVE DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (DRX) CONFIGURATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application related to configuring a User Equipment (UE) for Discontinuous Reception (DRX) in a network.

• Network node can configure a UE for DRX.
• Network node can transmit multiple DRX configurations to the UE.
• Network node can send information about the active time of a specific DRX configuration to the UE.
• The active time is different from the inactive time of the DRX configuration.
• Network node can transmit data based on the active time of the DRX configuration to the UE.
• UE receives the DRX configurations and information about the active time.
• UE monitors for data based on the active time of the DRX configuration.

1. 1. Unanswered Questions

1. 1. 1. How does the network node determine the appropriate DRX configuration to transmit to the UE?

The abstract does not specify the criteria or algorithm used by the network node to select and transmit the DRX configurations.

1. 1. 1. What impact does the active time of the DRX configuration have on overall network performance?

The abstract mentions data transmission based on the active time of the DRX configuration, but it does not elaborate on how this affects network performance or efficiency.

Original Abstract Submitted

A network node may configure a UE for discontinuous reception (DRX). The network node may transmit, to the UE, a plurality of DRX configurations. Further, the network node may transmit, to the UE, information associated with an active time of a first DRX configuration of the plurality of DRX configurations, with the active time being different from an inactive time of the first DRX configuration. Further, the network node may transmit, to the UE, data based on the active time of the first DRX configuration. The UE may receive the plurality of DRX configurations. Further, the UE may receive the information associated with the active time of the first DRX configuration. The UE may monitor for data based on the active time of the first DRX configuration.
