DRX ADAPTATION FOR POWER SAVING AND LATENCY REDUCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17733986 Titled 'DRX ADAPTATION FOR POWER SAVING AND LATENCY REDUCTION'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a system and method for discontinuous reception (DRX) adaptation in a wireless communication system. In this system, a network entity can configure a user equipment (UE) with a long DRX cycle, which means that the UE will periodically enter a sleep mode to conserve power. However, under certain conditions, the network entity can activate additional short DRX cycles to allow data transfer before the next scheduled sleep period. The abstract also mentions that there are multiple ways to communicate the parameters for the short DRX cycles to the UE, either explicitly or implicitly. These parameters can be included in downlink control information or indicated by bits in a Medium Access Control command received by the UE during the long DRX active time.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for discontinuous reception (DRX) adaptation in a wireless communication system are provided. A network entity may configure a user equipment (UE) with a long DRX cycle. Under certain conditions, additional short DRX cycles may be activated by the network entity so that data may be transferred before the next DRX active time. Multiple aspects are described wherein short DRX cycle parameters are communicated explicitly or implicitly to the UE. Short DRX cycle parameters may be included and/or indicated by bits in a downlink control information (DCI) or a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) command received by the UE during the long DRX active time.
