REFERENCE SIGNAL AND CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION PROCESSING OUTSIDE A DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION ACTIVE TIME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18069013 titled 'REFERENCE SIGNAL AND CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION PROCESSING OUTSIDE A DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION ACTIVE TIME
The abstract of the patent application describes a system where a first network entity in wireless communication operates in a connected DRX mode based on a wakeup signal (WUS), with active and inactive times. The first network entity sends capability information to a second network entity to process reference signal information during the DRX inactive time. The first network entity receives a configuration from the second network entity based on the capability information, specifying how to process the reference signal information during the DRX inactive time.
- The first network entity operates in a connected DRX mode based on a wakeup signal (WUS).
- The DRX mode includes active and inactive times for the network entity.
- Capability information is sent to a second network entity for processing reference signal information during the DRX inactive time.
- The second network entity provides a configuration based on the capability information for processing the reference signal information.
- The first network entity processes the reference signal information during the DRX inactive time according to the configuration.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to optimize power consumption and network efficiency. - It can be used in IoT devices to improve battery life by efficiently managing network connectivity.

Original Abstract Submitted
A first network entity for wireless communication may be configured to operate according to a connected DRX mode based on a wakeup signal (WUS), wherein the connected DRX mode includes a DRX active time and a DRX inactive time. The first network entity may send, to a second network entity, capability information of the first network entity to process, during the DRX inactive time, reference signal information, wherein the reference signal information includes one or more of: a reference signal or a reference signal report. The first network entity may receive, from the second network entity, a configuration based on the capability information, wherein the configuration specifies how the first network entity is to process the reference signal information during the DRX inactive time, and may process the reference signal information during the DRX inactive time in accordance with the configuration.
