TO REDUCE POWER CONSUMPTION FOR ALL TYPES OF TERMINAL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18508253 titled 'TO REDUCE POWER CONSUMPTION FOR ALL TYPES OF TERMINAL DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method of operating a terminal device and multiple network access nodes by establishing wake-up signalling configuration information for each node and monitoring for signalling transmitted by the nodes in accordance with the configured formats to decode subsequent paging messages.

  • Explanation of the patent:
  • - Method involves setting up wake-up signalling configurations for network access nodes.
  • - Monitoring for signalling from nodes based on configured formats.
  • - Decoding paging messages in response to detecting wake-up signalling.

Potential applications of this technology: - Mobile communication systems - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Smart city infrastructure

Problems solved by this technology: - Efficient communication between terminal devices and network access nodes - Reduced power consumption by waking up nodes only when necessary

Benefits of this technology: - Improved network efficiency - Extended battery life for terminal devices - Enhanced overall system performance

Potential commercial applications of this technology:

Optimizing Network Access Node Wake-Up Signalling for Improved Communication Efficiency

Possible prior art: - Prior art related to wake-up signalling configurations in communication systems - Previous methods for monitoring signalling from network access nodes

Unanswered questions:

How does this method impact the overall latency of communication between terminal devices and network access nodes?

- The article does not provide information on the latency implications of the proposed method.

What are the potential security implications of using wake-up signalling configurations in network communication systems?

- The article does not address the security aspects of implementing wake-up signalling configurations.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of operating a terminal device and a plurality of network access nodes, wherein the method comprises: establishing first wake-up signalling configuration information for a first network access node; establishing second wake-up signalling configuration information for a second network access node; and monitoring for signalling transmitted by the first network access node in accordance with the first wake-up signalling format and monitoring for signalling transmitted by the second network access node in accordance with the second wake-up signalling format, and seeking to decode a subsequent paging message in response to detecting wake-up signalling in accordance with either the first wake-up signalling format or the second wake-up signalling format.
