Piecewise aggregation of overhead messaging sets

摘要

Methods and apparatuses are presented for piecewise aggregation of overhead messages. According to a method that is presented, that the method can include starting a timer having a time period during which a first radio access technology (RAT) of the UE attempts to obtain overhead messages from a cell. The method can also include obtaining, at a radio resource of the UE and during the time period, a first portion of the overhead messages from the cell. In addition, the method may include determining that the timer has expired and handing over the radio resource to a second RAT of the UE when the timer has expired. The method also may include aggregating the first portion of the overhead messages with a second portion of the overhead messages. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

主权项

1. A method of managing a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
starting, at the UE, a timer having a time period shorter than an overhead message collection period, the time period being a period during which a first radio access technology (RAT) of the UE attempts to obtain a portion of overhead messages from a cell; obtaining, at a radio resource of the UE via the first RAT and during a first time period corresponding to the time period of the timer, a first portion of the overhead messages from the cell; determining that the timer has expired; handing over the radio resource from the first RAT to a second RAT of the UE upon determining that the timer has expired; handing over the radio resource back to the first RAT after a sleep duration associated with the first RAT; obtaining, at the radio resource via the first RAT and during a second time period corresponding to the time period of the timer, a second portion of the overhead messages from the cell; and aggregating the first portion of the overhead messages with the second portion of the overhead messages.
