TECHNIQUES FOR DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION CONFIGURATIONS FOR NETWORK ENERGY SAVINGS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17731137 Titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION CONFIGURATIONS FOR NETWORK ENERGY SAVINGS'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It explains that a first network entity, such as a distributed unit, can receive a control message from a second network entity, such as a centralized unit. This control message indicates a common discontinuous reception (C-DRX) configuration for a set of user equipments (UEs) connected to the first network entity. The C-DRX configuration specifies a time period with an active duration and an inactive duration. During the active duration, the first network entity can communicate with two or more UEs in accordance with the indicated C-DRX configuration.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first network entity (e.g., a distributed unit (DU)) may receive, from a second network entity (e.g., a centralized unit (CU)), a control message indicating a common discontinuous reception (C-DRX) configuration associated with a set of user equipments (UEs) communicatively coupled to the first network entity, where the C-DRX configuration indicates a time period including an active duration and an inactive duration. The first network entity may then communicate with two or more of the set of UEs in accordance with the indicated C-DRX configuration during the active duration of the time period of the C-DRX configuration.
