CONTROL CHANNEL MONITORING ADAPTATION UNDER A SEQUENCE OF NETWORK OPERATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121715 titled 'CONTROL CHANNEL MONITORING ADAPTATION UNDER A SEQUENCE OF NETWORK OPERATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication in a system where a network entity configures monitoring occasion configurations corresponding to energy saving modes, and a user equipment (UE) switches between these modes based on control signaling received from the network entity.

  • The network entity configures monitoring occasion configurations linked to energy saving modes.
  • The UE receives control signaling indicating the configuration and switches between energy saving modes.
  • The UE switches monitoring occasion configurations based on the energy saving mode.
  • The UE monitors a control channel according to the new monitoring occasion configuration.

Original Abstract Submitted

methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. in a wireless communications system, a network entity may configure a set of monitoring occasion configurations that correspond to (e.g., are linked to) a set of energy saving modes. a user equipment (ue) may receive control signaling from the network entity indicating the configuration, and the ue may switch from a first energy saving mode to a second energy saving mode. based on the switching, and because the energy saving modes are linked to the monitoring occasion configurations, the ue may switch from a first monitoring occasion configuration corresponding to the first energy saving mode to a second monitoring occasion configuration corresponding to the second energy saving mode. the ue may monitor a control channel in accordance with the second monitoring occasion configuration.
