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 20240114457 titled 'USER DEVICE AND NETWORK NODE FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK, AND OPERATION METHODS THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a method for using wake-up signaling in inter-cell mobility scenarios by configuring a wake-up signal (WUS) beacon occasion (WBO) for each tracking area (TA) of a user device. The WBO includes cell-specific time offsets for transmitting WUS beacons corresponding to each cell in the TA, along with a mapping table that maps these offsets to cell-specific information such as cell ID and frequency details. This allows the user device to reduce power consumption by avoiding unnecessary state transitions during cell reselections within 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.
