Method and apparatus for aligning downlink discontinuous reception patterns in multiflow HSDPA

摘要

Aspects of this disclosure relate to methods and apparatuses for aligning downlink discontinuous reception patterns in multiflow High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA). One aspect of the disclosure provides a method for wireless communications. The method includes: communicatively connecting with a user equipment (UE), a first cell, and a second cell; determining a sub-frame pairing between the first cell and the second cell; and selectively updating the sub-frame pairing based on a timing offset representative of a sub-frame delay between the first cell and the second cell.

1. A method for wireless communications comprising:
communicatively connecting with a user equipment (UE), a first cell, and a second cell; determining a sub-frame pairing between the first cell and the second cell; determining a timing offset representative of a sub-frame delay between the first cell and the second cell; selectively updating the sub-frame pairing based on the timing offset by aligning a first downlink discontinuous reception (DRX) pattern of the first cell with a second DRX pattern of the second cell based on the sub-frame pairing; transmitting timing information of the first and second DRX patterns to the UE; and signaling the first cell and the second cell of the DRX patterns and corresponding timings.
