METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCHEDULING APPLICATION-GENERATED DATA REQUESTS IN DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION (DRX) MODE

摘要

The invention provides a technique for managing application-generated data requests within a wireless communication device comprising a baseband component operating in discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. The technique includes the steps of receiving a data request from an application, tagging the data request as a low-priority data request or a high-priority data request in accordance with a manner in which the application is executing, forwarding the tagged data request to the baseband component, determining a next-scheduled active time based on parameters associated with the DRX mode, and causing a scheduling request to be issued at or substantially proximate to the next-scheduled active time.

1. A computer-implemented method for managing application-generated data requests within a wireless communication device comprising a baseband component operating in a connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode, the method comprising:
receiving a data request from an application; tagging the data request as a low-priority data request or a high-priority data request in accordance with a manner in which the application is executing; forwarding the tagged data request to the baseband component; determining that the tagged data request is tagged as a low-priority data request; determining a next-scheduled active time based on parameters associated with the C-DRX mode; identifying a mean value for an amount of time observed between issuance times of scheduling requests and receipt times of corresponding scheduling grants; and causing a scheduling request to be issued at a time equal to the difference between the mean value and the next-scheduled activation time.
