Transmitting Wake-up Signals for Paging Operations - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18488088 titled 'Transmitting Wake-up Signals for Paging Operations

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a base station that transmits wake-up signals to a user equipment (UE) to wake it up and receive a page from the base station. The base station transmits synchronization signals that correspond to the wake-up signal, which is to be transmitted to the UE operating in a paging discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. The paging DRX cycle includes a paging occasion (PO), and the wake-up signal is transmitted to the UE during a wake-up signal occasion (WUS). The wake-up signal indicates whether the UE should utilize an active mode or a sleep mode during the paging occasion.

• The base station transmits synchronization signals that correspond to the wake-up signal.
• The wake-up signal is transmitted to the UE during a wake-up signal occasion (WUS).
• The wake-up signal indicates whether the UE should utilize an active mode or a sleep mode during the paging occasion.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Wireless communication systems
• Mobile networks
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient wake-up and paging of user equipment in wireless communication systems
• Optimization of power consumption in user equipment during paging occasions

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved efficiency in waking up user equipment for receiving pages
• Reduced power consumption in user equipment during idle periods
• Enhanced performance and reliability of wireless communication systems

Original Abstract Submitted

A base station is configured to transmit wake-up signals to a user equipment to wake-up the UE to receive a page from the base station. The base station transmits one or more synchronization signals, wherein the synchronization signals correspond to a wake-up signal (WUS) that is to be transmitted to a user equipment (UE) operating in a paging discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, wherein the paging DRX cycle includes a paging occasion (PO) and transmits the WUS to the UE during a WUS occasion, wherein the WUS indicates whether the UE is to utilize an active mode or a sleep mode during the PO.
