Method for Transmitting Communication Signals in a Wireless Communication System

摘要

Embodiments relate to a method in a first network node for transmitting communication signals in a wireless communication system, the first network node being arranged to operate in an active mode in which the first network node has full transmission and/or reception capabilities or in an idle mode in which the first network node has limited transmission and/or reception capabilities in relation to the active mode; the method being characterized by the steps of: encoding an indication of time left in idle mode for the first network node into a communication signal; and transmitting said communication signal in the wireless communication system while operating in the idle mode. Furthermore, embodiments also relate to a corresponding method in a second network node, a first network node device, a second network node device, a computer program, and a computer program product thereof.
