Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for minimizing power consumption in a macro cell. A method and apparatus may establish a dual connection with a local area access point of a local area cell and a macro access point of a macro cell. The method and apparatus may also enter a power save mode in a macro cell by utilizing a first discontinuous reception (DRX) pattern in the macro cell in response to establishing the dual connection. The first DRX pattern may include a designated DRX active time period in which a communication device is designated to be active. The DRX active time period is aligned with a time period of a paging occasion of the apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to wireless communication technologies, and more particularly to methods, apparatus and computer program products for managing discontinuous reception operations in a dual connectivity communication system. Background technique [0002] Due to the increased demand for wireless Internet access, the demand for wireless networks, such as cellular networks, is expected to increase dramatically in the foreseeable future. One of the most promising strategies for meeting this rapidly increasing demand involves bi-directional connectivity combining local area (LA) networks with wider network infrastructures. [0003] Currently, "dual connection", also known as inter-enhanced Node B carrier aggregation (inter-eNB CA), multi-flow connection, etc., has recently emerged as a method of combining LA with cellular networks. The target scenario is to allow user equipment (UE) to be simultaneously connected to a ma...
