USER DEVICE AND NETWORK NODE FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK, AND OPERATION METHODS THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18477217 titled 'USER DEVICE AND NETWORK NODE FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK, AND OPERATION METHODS THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a procedure for using wake-up signaling in inter-cell mobility scenarios, which helps reduce power consumption for user devices.
- Configuration of Wake-Up Signal (WUS) Beacon Occasion (WBO) for each Tracking Area (TA) of a user device
- Transmission of a WUS beacon for each cell in the TA at a cell-specific time offset within the WBO
- Configuration of WBO with a mapping table that maps cell-specific time offsets to cell-specific information
- Cell-specific information may include cell ID, indicator of cell-specific frequency, and cell-specific frequency range
- Each TA consists of intra-frequency cells only
- Use of WBO helps reduce power consumption by avoiding unnecessary switching from sleep state to active state during cell reselections in the TA

Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a simple and power-efficient procedure that allows using wake-up signaling in inter-cell mobility scenarios. The procedure is based on configuring a Wake-Up Signal (WUS) Beacon Occasion (WBO) for each Tracking Area (TA) of a user device. A WUS beacon corresponding to each cell in the TA is transmitted once at a cell-specific time offset within the WBO. The WBO is configured together with a mapping table that maps each of the cell-specific time offsets to cell-specific information. The cell-specific information may comprise a cell ID and/or an indicator of a cell-specific frequency and/or cell-specific frequency range to be used for synchronization signal reception (e.g., Global Synchronization Channel Number (GSCN)). Each TA comprises intra-frequency cells only. By using the WBO, the user device may reduce its power consumption by avoiding switching from its sleep state to its active state when doing cell reselections in the TA.
