Prioritization of energy over system throughput in a wireless communications system

摘要

The present invention relates to a user equipment and a radio base station, and to related methods of enabling the radio base station to affect an energy saving in the system during a connection between the user equipment and the radio base station according to a priority level of the energy saving. The method comprises the step of detecting (210) a trigger received via a user interface of the user equipment, where the trigger is associated with the priority level of the energy saving in the system. It also comprises transmitting (220) an indicator of the priority level to the radio base station, allowing the radio base station to affect the energy saving in the system during the connection according to the priority level, by configuring different user or system related parameters.

主权项

1. A method, in a user equipment in a wireless communications system that comprises a radio access network and one or more user equipments, for enabling a radio base station to effect energy savings in the wireless communications system during a connection between the user equipment and the radio base station according to a priority level for energy savings, the method comprising:
transmitting, to the radio base station, an indicator of a priority level for energy savings, thus allowing the radio base station to configure a parameter related to the user equipment so as to effect energy savings in the radio access network during the connection, according to the priority level; and applying, during the connection, the parameter configured by the radio base station.
