<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data transmission/reception technique that achieves power savings for a wireless device and improves capacity for a wireless network. <P>SOLUTION: The techniques utilize a Continuous Packet Connectivity (CPC) mode 240 comprised of multiple discontinuous transmission (DTX) modes 310, 312 and at least one discontinuous reception (DRX) mode 314. Each DTX mode 310, 312 is associated with different enabled uplink subframes usable for transmission from the wireless device to the network. Each DRX mode 314 is associated with different enabled downlink subframes usable by the network for transmission to the wireless device. The wireless device may send signaling and/or data on the enabled uplink subframes and may receive signaling and/or data on the enabled downlink subframes. The wireless device may power down during non-enabled subframes to conserve battery power. Mechanisms quickly transition between the DTX modes 310, 312 and DRX mode 314. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
