Technique of controlling discontinuous transceiving operations

摘要

A technique for controlling transceiving operations of a transceiver device in a wireless communication network is described. A method implementation of this technique comprises the following steps performed by the transceiver device: determining a temporal mismatch between DTX characteristics and DRX characteristics of the transceiver device; and adjusting at least one of the DTX characteristics and the DRX characteristics such that DTX pauses become essentially aligned with DRX pauses. During the overlapping inactivity periods of the DTX pauses and the DRX pauses power management measures may be initiated by the transceiver device.

1. A method by a network device for controlling a transceiver device of a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
determining whether a temporal mismatch exists between discontinuous transmission (DTX) characteristics and discontinuous reception (DRX) characteristics of the transceiver device by analyzing a mismatch indication signal received from the transceiver device; wherein the mismatch indication signal comprises an indication of:a direction of the mismatch between the DTX characteristics and the DRX characteristics; and
an amount of the mismatch between the DTX characteristics and the DRX characteristics; controlling the transceiver device to adjust at least one of its DTX characteristics and its DRX characteristics based on the mismatch indication signal to substantially align DTX pauses with DRX pauses.
