CELL SEARCH BASED ON USER EQUIPMENT (UE) BATTERY CONDITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17806391 titled 'CELL SEARCH BASED ON USER EQUIPMENT (UE) BATTERY CONDITION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application is about apparatuses and methods for implementing cell search based on battery conditions of a user equipment (UE). The UE includes a transceiver for wireless communication with a base station and a processor for performing a cell search cycle when the connection with the base station is lost. If the UE is in a no-service or limited-service mode after the cell search cycle, the processor configures a sleep timer value based on the battery's charge level or capacity level. After the sleep timer value, the processor performs a second cell search cycle.
- The patent application is about implementing cell search based on battery conditions of a UE.
- The UE has a transceiver for wireless communication with a base station.
- The processor in the UE performs a cell search cycle when the connection with the base station is lost.
- If the UE is in a no-service or limited-service mode after the cell search cycle, the processor configures a sleep timer value based on the battery's charge level or capacity level.
- After the sleep timer value, the processor performs a second cell search cycle.
Potential Applications
- Mobile devices with improved battery management during cell search cycles.
- Enhanced connectivity and network performance for user equipment in areas with limited service.
Problems Solved
- Efficient battery usage during cell search cycles.
- Improved connectivity and network performance in areas with limited service.
Benefits
- Extended battery life for user equipment.
- Enhanced user experience with improved connectivity and network performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing cell search based on battery conditions of a user equipment (UE). For example, some aspects of this disclosure relate to a UE. The UE includes a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a base station and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to perform a cell search cycle in response to a determination that a connection with the base station has been lost. In response to a determination that UE is in a no-service mode or in a limited-service mode after the cell search cycle, the processor further configures a sleep timer value based at least on one of a charge level of a battery of the UE or a capacity level of the battery. The processor further performs a second cell search cycle after the configured sleep timer value.
