PRE-EMPTIVE BUFFER STATUS REPORT EXTENSION FOR NETWORK POWER SAVING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17826078 titled 'PRE-EMPTIVE BUFFER STATUS REPORT EXTENSION FOR NETWORK POWER SAVING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications.

  • A first device, such as an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node, receives messages from second devices, such as user equipments (UEs) or child nodes.
  • These messages trigger the first device to generate a buffer status report (BSR).
  • The BSR is then sent to a parent device in a BSR message.
  • The BSR message includes arrival times associated with expected traffic for the second devices.
  • Upon receiving the BSR message, the parent device can activate a sleep mode for its components based on the indicated arrival times.
  • If the arrival times are long, the parent device can activate a sleep mode to save power.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device (e.g., an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node) may obtain one or more messages from one or more second devices (e.g., user equipments (UEs), child nodes) communicating with the first device, the messages triggering the first device to generate a buffer status report (BSR). The first device may output the BSR in a BSR message to a parent device, where the BSR may indicate one or more arrival times associated with expected traffic for the second devices based on the messages. Upon obtaining the BSR message, the parent device may activate a sleep mode for one or more components associated with the parent device based on the arrival times indicated in the BSR. For example, if the arrival times are relatively long, the parent device may activate a sleep mode for increased power savings.
