Methods and apparatus for efficient service layer assistance for modem sleep operations

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with improving wireless device power consumption in an M2M environment. In an example, a service layer module equipped to obtain a network value indicating that a service layer transaction is complete and no additional activity associated with the service layer transaction is expected from a network entity, determine that no additional activity associated with the service layer transaction is expected from a wireless device application, generate a sleep mode value based on the reception of the network value and upon the determination, and provide the sleep mode value to a modem subsystem and/or an application subsystem indicating that it is allowed to enter a sleep mode. In an aspect, the sleep mode value may be provided using cross layer signaling between a service layer and modem processing layer.

1. A method of communications performed by a service layer module, comprising:
obtaining a network value indicating that a service layer transaction is complete and no additional activity associated with the service layer transaction is expected from a network entity; determining whether additional activity associated with the service layer transaction is expected from one or more applications associated with a wireless device; generating a sleep mode value based on the network value and upon a determination that no additional activity associated with the service layer transaction is expected from the one or more applications associated with the wireless device; and providing the sleep mode value to at least one of a modem subsystem or an application subsystem, wherein the sleep mode value indicates that the at least one of the modem subsystem or the application subsystem is allowed to enter a sleep mode.
