Communication Method and Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18248109 titled 'Communication Method and Device
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system where an access network device receives a maximum eDRX cycle from a core network device, which is used by a terminal device in an inactive state. The access network device then determines a second eDRX cycle based on the first cycle, with a length that is less than or equal to the first cycle. The access network device sends a message to the core network device, including the second cycle.
- The system involves an access network device and a core network device.
- The first cycle is a maximum eDRX cycle used by a terminal device in an inactive state.
- The access network device determines a second eDRX cycle based on the first cycle.
- The length of the second cycle is less than or equal to the length of the first cycle.
- The access network device sends a message to the core network device, including the second cycle.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in cellular networks to optimize power consumption and network efficiency.
- It can be used in IoT (Internet of Things) devices to improve battery life and reduce network congestion.
Problems Solved
- The system solves the problem of inefficient power consumption in terminal devices during inactive states.
- It addresses the issue of network congestion caused by unnecessary signaling between access and core network devices.
Benefits
- The technology reduces power consumption in terminal devices, leading to improved battery life.
- It enhances network efficiency by optimizing the use of eDRX cycles.
- The system reduces network congestion and improves overall network performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
An access network device receives a first cycle from a core network device, where the first cycle is a maximum eDRX cycle that can be configured for a first terminal device, and the first cycle is used by the first terminal device in RRC inactive state. The access network device determines a second cycle based on the first cycle, where the second cycle is an eDRX cycle configured for the first terminal device, the second cycle is used by the first terminal device in RRC inactive state, and a length of the second cycle is less than or equal to a length of the first cycle. The access network device sends a second message to the core network device, where the second message includes the second cycle.
