BANDWIDTH PART (BWP) DYNAMIC ADAPTATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN ENERGY LEVEL AT A USER EQUIPMENT (UE) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17735999 titled 'BANDWIDTH PART (BWP) DYNAMIC ADAPTATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN ENERGY LEVEL AT A USER EQUIPMENT (UE)
Simplified Explanation
- This patent application describes a system for dynamically adapting the bandwidth part (BWP) of a user equipment (UE) based on its energy level. - The UE can save power by operating with a narrower BWP when its energy level is low. - If the UE's energy level meets a certain threshold, it can reduce the bandwidth size of the active BWP. - The UE will send signaling to the network to inform that the bandwidth size has been reduced. - Alternatively, the UE can switch back to a default BWP if its energy level meets a threshold. - This fallback to the default BWP can happen before a timer expires, which is set to trigger the UE to switch back. - The innovation aims to optimize power consumption and network performance by dynamically adjusting the BWP based on the UE's energy level.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for bandwidth part (BWP) dynamic adaptation in accordance with an energy level at a user equipment (UE). In some systems, the UE may implement techniques for power savings by operating according to a narrower BWP in accordance with an energy level at the UE. In some implementations, the UE may reduce the bandwidth size of the active BWP if the UE energy level satisfies a threshold. The UE may transmit signaling to the network indicating that the bandwidth size of the active BWP is reduced. Additionally, or alternatively, the UE may fall back to a default BWP if the UE energy level satisfies a threshold. For example, the UE may fall back to the default BWP prior to expiration of a timer configured to trigger the UE to fall back to the default BWP.
