COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18495872 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The technology described in this patent application is a communication method and apparatus that involves a terminal device receiving time information to determine specific time periods for communication with a network device. The terminal device receives different signals in these time periods, with the first signal being for paging or waking up the terminal device, and the second signal providing additional information or instructions to the terminal device. The signal formats of the first and second signals are different and may include coding, modulation, and multiple access techniques.
- Terminal device obtains time information for specific time periods.
- Receives first signal in first time period for paging or waking up.
- Receives second signal in second time period for additional information or instructions.
- Signal formats of first and second signals are different, including coding, modulation, and multiple access.
Potential Applications
- Mobile communication systems - Internet of Things (IoT) devices - Wireless sensor networks
Problems Solved
- Efficient communication between terminal devices and network devices - Optimizing power consumption in terminal devices - Managing network traffic effectively
Benefits
- Improved communication reliability - Reduced power consumption in terminal devices - Enhanced network performance and efficiency
Original Abstract Submitted
The technology of this application relates to a communication method and apparatus. In an example embodiment, a terminal device obtains time information, where the time information is for determining a first time period and a second time period. The terminal device receives a first signal from a first network device in the first time period, where the first signal is for paging or waking up the terminal device, and the terminal receives second information from the first network device in the second time period, where the second signal is for paging the terminal device, or indicates to the terminal device whether to receive paging, where a signal format of the first signal and a signal format of the second signal are different, and the signal format includes at least one of: coding, modulation, and multiple access.
