KEEP-ALIVE SIGNAL FOR NETWORK ENERGY SAVING IN A WIRELESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18308552 Titled 'KEEP-ALIVE SIGNAL FOR NETWORK ENERGY SAVING IN A WIRELESS NETWORK'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes techniques and devices for using keep-alive signaling to save energy in a network when it is not in use. This involves transmitting a keep-alive signal (KAS) to reduce energy consumption. The KAS can be a smaller version of a synchronization signal block (SSB) that is sent more often than the full SSB. It can also have a different beam sweeping pattern and beam width compared to the full SSB.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the disclosure provide techniques and apparatuses for using keep-alive signaling for network energy saving in an idle mode. A network entity can transmit a keep-alive signal (KAS) to reduce the energy consumption of a network when the network is in an idle mode. In some aspects, the KAS can be a reduced synchronization signal block (SSB) that is sent more frequently than a full SSB. In some aspects, the KAS can have a different beam sweeping pattern and/or beam width from the full SSB.
