METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18330824 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PAGING

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about determining the identity of a terminal device based on its configuration status and current state. This allows for effective paging in extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) in both RRC idle state and RRC inactive state, ensuring synchronization between the network and the terminal device for paging in eDRX.

  • The terminal device determines its identity based on the configuration status of eDRX and the current RRC state.
  • The determined identity is used to determine the paging frame and paging occasion for the terminal device.
  • This enables efficient paging in eDRX in both RRC idle state and RRC inactive state.
  • The synchronization between the network and the terminal device is maintained for paging in eDRX.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in cellular networks to improve the efficiency of paging in extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX).
  • It can be used in various IoT devices that rely on eDRX for power-saving purposes.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of ineffective paging in eDRX when the terminal device is in RRC idle state or RRC inactive state.
  • It ensures synchronization between the network and the terminal device for efficient paging in eDRX.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency of paging in eDRX, leading to power savings and better network performance.
  • Enhanced synchronization between the network and the terminal device for effective communication.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to determination of terminal device's identify. A terminal device determines an identity (ID) of the terminal device based on configuration status of extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) and current Radio Resource Control (RRC) state of the terminal device; and determines one or both of paging frame (PF) and paging occasion (PO) based on the determined ID of the terminal device. In this way, paging in the eDRX can work well in RRC idle state or RRC inactive state, and the network and the UE may be synchronized with UE's PF and PO for paging in the eDRX.
