TERMINAL, BASE STATION, CORE NETWORK DEVICE, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18611291 titled 'TERMINAL, BASE STATION, CORE NETWORK DEVICE, AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION METHOD
The abstract describes a patent application for a terminal that can configure an eDRX (extended Discontinuous Reception) value for an RRC (Radio Resource Control) inactive state. The terminal transmits a configuration request for the eDRX value, which includes information about the number of candidates for a starting position of a reception period in a specific H-SFN (Hyper-Frame Structure Number). The terminal then receives second configuration information in response to the request, which includes the eDRX configuration value for the RRC inactive state. A control unit in the terminal uses this information to specify the starting position of the reception period in the given H-SFN for eDRX operation in the RRC inactive state.
- The terminal can configure an eDRX value for an RRC inactive state.
- The eDRX configuration value includes information about the number of candidates for a starting position of a reception period in a specific H-SFN.
- The terminal can receive second configuration information in response to a configuration request.
- A control unit in the terminal uses the received information to specify the starting position of the reception period for eDRX operation in the RRC inactive state.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in cellular networks to optimize power consumption during idle periods. - It can be used in IoT devices to improve battery life by efficiently managing network connectivity.
Problems Solved: - Efficient configuration of eDRX values for RRC inactive states. - Optimizing power consumption in mobile devices and IoT devices.
Benefits: - Extended battery life for devices. - Improved network efficiency and performance. - Enhanced user experience with better connectivity management.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized eDRX Configuration for Improved Battery Life in Mobile and IoT Devices" This technology can be utilized by mobile device manufacturers and IoT companies to enhance the battery life of their products, leading to increased customer satisfaction and potentially higher sales.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the eDRX configuration value impact power consumption in mobile devices? 2. What are the key advantages of using eDRX in IoT devices for battery optimization?
Original Abstract Submitted
A terminal includes a transmission unit configured to transmit a configuration request requesting configuration of an eDRX configuration value for an RRC inactive state, the eDRX configuration value including information indicating the number of candidates for a starting position of a reception period in a given H-SFN, a reception unit configured to receive second configuration information including the eDRX configuration value for the RRC inactive state, which is configured in response to the configuration request transmitted from the transmission unit, the eDRX configuration value including the information indicating the number of candidates for the starting position of the reception period in the given H-SFN, and a control unit configured to perform control such that the starting position of the reception period in the given H-SFN is specified according to the second configuration information received by the reception unit to perform eDRX in the RRC inactive state.
