RADIO TERMINAL AND METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18572988 titled 'RADIO TERMINAL AND METHOD THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation: A radio terminal (B) negotiates a DRX configuration with a peer terminal (A) for reception of a unicast communication on a direct interface between the two terminals.

  • The radio terminal (B) informs the peer terminal (A) about the validity of the negotiated DRX configuration and whether a DRX operation is needed to receive the communication.
  • This process helps in managing signaling load on the radio terminal for device-to-device (D2D) communication.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Negotiation of DRX configuration between radio terminal (B) and peer terminal (A).
  • Indication of DRX operation necessity by radio terminal (B) to receive unicast communication.
  • Signaling load management for D2D communication.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems where efficient DRX configuration negotiation is required.

Problems Solved:

  • Managing signaling load on radio terminals for D2D communication.
  • Ensuring efficient reception of unicast communication.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency in DRX configuration negotiation.
  • Enhanced performance in receiving unicast communication.
  • Reduced signaling load on radio terminals.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include mobile communication networks, IoT devices, and other wireless communication systems where D2D communication is prevalent.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior research on DRX configuration negotiation in wireless communication systems to understand the evolution of this technology.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in DRX configuration management and signaling load optimization in wireless communication systems.

Questions about DRX Configuration Negotiation: 1. How does DRX configuration negotiation impact the efficiency of wireless communication systems? 2. What are the key factors to consider when determining the necessity of a DRX operation for receiving unicast communication?


Original Abstract Submitted

A radio terminal (B) negotiates a DRX configuration with a peer terminal (A) for reception by the radio terminal (B) of a unicast communication on a direct interface between the radio terminal (B) and the peer terminal (A). The radio terminal (B) indicates to the peer terminal (A), while the DRX configuration has been negotiated and is valid, whether or not the radio terminal (B) performs a DRX operation based on the valid DRX configuration in order to receive the unicast communication. This can help, for example, to prevent an increase in the signaling load on the radio terminal with respect to DRX for device-to-device (D2D) communication.
