Methods and apparatus for low power tracking of network system timing for long paging cycles

摘要

Methods and apparatus for of tracking network system timing are provided. In one aspect, a method of tracking network system timing comprises determining a periodicity of a plurality of windows for monitoring mobile messages. The method further includes performing a time tracking adjustment between the windows. The method further includes monitoring for mobile messages exclusively within each of the windows.

1. A method of performing low power wake ups for maintaining synchronization with network timing comprising:
performing a full power wake up in each of a plurality of first windows, wherein performing a full power wake up includes performing a full message monitoring procedure; and perform a low power wake up in each of a plurality of second windows, wherein performing a low power wake up includes performing a time tracking adjustment for maintaining synchronization with network timing without performing the full message monitoring procedure; wherein the plurality of first windows has a first periodicity, wherein the plurality of second windows has a second periodicity, wherein the second periodicity is determined by dividing the first periodicity by an integer, the integer being a value between 1 and a discontinuous reception/slot cycle index (DRX/SCI) value, and wherein each second window occurs between two first windows.
