METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240306246 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION
The abstract of this patent application describes a method and apparatus for discontinuous reception, where a first terminal device determines a time period during which a second terminal device is estimated to be in an active state and transmits data to the second terminal device during this active time period.
- The method involves determining a deterministic active time period when the second terminal device is active.
- Data is transmitted to the second terminal device during this deterministic active time period.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in wireless communication systems to optimize power consumption and improve network efficiency.
Problems Solved: This technology helps reduce power consumption by transmitting data only when the second terminal device is active, leading to energy savings.
Benefits: - Improved power efficiency in wireless communication systems - Enhanced network performance - Extended battery life for devices
Commercial Applications: This technology can be applied in mobile devices, IoT devices, and other wireless communication systems to enhance battery life and network efficiency, potentially leading to cost savings for users and operators.
Questions about Discontinuous Reception: 1. How does this technology impact battery life in mobile devices? This technology can significantly extend battery life by optimizing data transmission during active periods of the second terminal device.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of implementing discontinuous reception in wireless communication systems? While discontinuous reception can save power, it may introduce latency in data transmission, affecting real-time communication applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments of the present disclosure provide method and apparatus for discontinuous reception. a method performed by a first terminal device includes determining a time period during which at least one second terminal device is estimated in an active state as a deterministic active time period. the method further includes transmitting data to the at least one second terminal device during the deterministic active time period.
