DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (DRX) RECONFIGURATION

摘要

Technology for communicating a discontinuous reception (DRX) reconfiguration is disclosed. In one method, a preferred power consumption configuration message is received, at an evolved node B (eNB) from a user equipment. The preferred power consumption configuration message may be a one-bit message using a first Boolean value to indicate a preferred power consumption configuration. A DRX reconfiguration request message may be received, from the UE, to reconfigure a DRX configuration of the UE to reduce a power consumption level of the UE. The DRX reconfiguration request message may be the one-bit message using a second Boolean value to indicate a DRX reconfiguration. The eNB may determine to reconfigure the DRX configuration of the UE based on the DRX reconfiguration request message. In addition, the eNB may perform the DRX reconfiguration at the UE by adjusting one or more parameters of the DRX configuration.

主权项

1. A user equipment (UE) operable to communicate a discontinuous reception (DRX) reconfiguration, the UE having computer circuitry configured to:
send, to a node, a preferred power consumption configuration message, the preferred power consumption configuration message being a one-bit message using a first Boolean value to indicate a preferred power consumption configuration; determine, at the UE, a desired power consumption level relative to a power level of the preferred power consumption configuration; and communicate, to the node, a DRX reconfiguration request message to reconfigure a DRX configuration of the UE to provide a reduced power consumption level, the DRX reconfiguration request message being the one-bit message using a second Boolean value to indicate a DRX reconfiguration.
