METHOD FOR EARLY INDICATION OF PAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18283402 titled 'METHOD FOR EARLY INDICATION OF PAGING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for a User Equipment (UE) to monitor a Paging Occasion (PO) for obtaining a paging message from a base station. The method involves obtaining the configuration of multiple Paging Early Indicator (PEI) occasions allocated in an indicator window preceding the PO, monitoring the reception of a PEI in the indicator window, and monitoring the PO based on receiving a PEI indicating whether the UE should monitor the PO or enter a sleep state without monitoring it.

• Simplified Explanation:

  - Method for a UE to monitor a PO for receiving a paging message by first obtaining the configuration of PEI occasions in an indicator window, then monitoring the reception of PEIs, and finally monitoring the PO based on received PEIs.

• Potential Applications:

  - Mobile communication systems
  - IoT devices
  - Wireless networks

• Problems Solved:

  - Efficient paging message reception
  - Power consumption optimization in UEs

• Benefits:

  - Reduced power consumption
  - Improved paging message delivery
  - Enhanced network efficiency

• Potential Commercial Applications:

  - Telecommunication companies
  - IoT device manufacturers
  - Network equipment providers

• Possible Prior Art:

  - Previous methods for paging message reception in wireless networks

Questions:

1. How does this method improve power consumption in User Equipment? 2. What are the potential drawbacks of relying on Paging Early Indicators for monitoring Paging Occasions?

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for a user equipment, UE, to monitor a paging occasion, PO (), for obtaining a paging message from a base station, the method comprising: obtaining () configuration of a plurality of paging early indicator, PEI, occasions allocated in an indicator window () preceding the PO; monitoring () reception of a PEI in the indicator window; and monitoring () the PO, responsive to receiving, in at least one of the PEI occasions, a PEI indicating that the UE shall monitor said PO, or otherwise entering () a sleep state without monitoring the PO.
