METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOBILE STATION

摘要

A method for communicating in a mobile communications network including a primary station communicating with at least one secondary station comprising communication means for communicating with a primary station,;the method comprising the step (a) of the secondary station signaling at least one preferred operating profile out of a plurality of available operating profiles in response to an event.

1. A method for operating a secondary station, the method comprising:
control means first selecting a first subset of operating profiles of a plurality of available operating profiles when the operating requirements of the secondary station change, the first subset of operating profiles being different than a current subset of operating profiles; in response to the first selecting, communication means controlled by the control means first transmitting to a primary station an indication of the first subset of operating profiles, to request to use the first subset of operating profiles as the current subset of operating profiles; the control means first switching from using the current subset of operating profiles to using the selected first subset of operating profiles as the current set of operating profiles; the control means second selecting at least one first operating profile of a current subset of operating profiles depending on a specified event, the at least one first operating profile being different than the at least one current operating profile; and in response to the second selecting, the communication means second transmitting to the primary station, an indication of the at least one first operating profile, to request to use the at least one first operating profile as the at least one current operating profile; the control means second switching from using the at least one current operating profile to using the second selected at least one first operating profile as the at least one current operating profiles; wherein the secondary station is a radio station which is either: a mobile device; or a wireless sensor node; and wherein the secondary station is configured to respond to any one of the following group as a specified event:
the energy remaining in a battery of the secondary station decreases to or below a predetermined level;the secondary station becomes connected to a permanent source of power;the secondary station has entered a particular location;a handover from communication with a previous primary station to communication with a first primary station;the activation of a particular service;the deactivation of a particular service;a user of the secondary station requests a preferred operating mode; anda change of hardware resources available to the secondary station.
