[0004] Various aspects of this disclosure generally relate to wireless communication, and to techniques and apparatus for determining a discontinuous reception configuration of connectivity modes for multiple applications by a user equipment (UE).
[0005] Related technical descriptions
[0006] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is an enhancement set of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard issued by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).
[0007] A wireless network may include one or more base stations that support communication for one or more user equipment (UEs). UEs may communicate with base stations via downlink and uplink communication. "Downlink" (or "DL") refers to the communication link from the base station to the UE, while "uplink" (or "UL") refers to the communication link from the UE to the base station.
[0008] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol enabling different UEs to communicate at the city, country, region, and / or global levels. New Radio (NR) (which may be referred to as 5G) is an enhancement set to the LTE mobile standard issued by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with a Cyclic Prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink, and CP-OFDM and / or Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Extended OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies and carrier aggregation to improve spectral efficiency, reduce costs, improve service, utilize new spectrum, and better integrate with other open standards. Further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow.

[0250] Detailed description
[0251] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to any specific structure or function given throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein may be used to implement an apparatus or practice. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatuses or methods practiced using additional structures, functionalities, or structures and functionalities that complement or supplement the various aspects of this disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein may be implemented by one or more elements of the claims.
[0252] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be described with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and explained in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively, "elements"). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.
[0253] While the aspects herein may be described using terms commonly associated with 5G or New Radio (NR) Radio Access Technology (RAT), the aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT, and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).
[0254] Figure 1This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. Wireless network 100 may be or may include a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G (e.g., LTE) network, etc. Wireless network 100 may include one or more base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 110d), user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as UE 120a, UE 120b, UE 120c, UE 120d, and UE 120e), and / or other network entities. Base station 110 is the entity that communicates with UE 120. Base station 110 (sometimes referred to as BS) may include, for example, an NR base station, an LTE base station, a B-node, an eNB (e.g., in 4G), a gNB (e.g., in 5G), an access point, and / or a transmit / receive point (TRP). Each base station 110 may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term "cell" can refer to the coverage area of base station 110 and / or the base station subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.
[0255] Base station 110 provides communication coverage to macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. Macrocells can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and allow unrestricted access by UE 120 with a service subscription. Picocells can cover a relatively small geographic area and allow unrestricted access by UE 120 with a service subscription. Femtocells can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residential area) and allow restricted access by UE 120 associated with that femtocell (e.g., UE 120 in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). Base station 110 for macrocells may be referred to as a macro base station. Base station 110 for picocells may be referred to as a pico base station. Base station 110 for femtocells may be referred to as a femtocell base station or a home base station. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110a can be a macro base station for macro cell 102a, BS 110b can be a pico base station for pico cell 102b, and BS 110c can be a femto base station (BS) for femtocell 102c. A base station may support one or more (e.g., three) cells.
[0256] In some examples, the cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographical area of the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile base station 110 (e.g., a mobile base station). In some examples, base stations 110 may interconnect with each other and / or interconnect to one or more other base stations 110 or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network via various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections or virtual networks).
[0257] Wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is an entity capable of receiving data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., base station 110 or UE 120) and transmitting those data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., UE 120 or base station 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 capable of relaying transmissions for other UE 120s. Figure 1 In the example shown, BS 110d (e.g., a relay base station) can communicate with BS 110a (e.g., a macro base station) and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS 110a and UE 120d. The base station 110 for relay communication may be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, relay, etc.
[0258] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of base stations 110 (such as macro base stations, pico base stations, femto base stations, or relay base stations, etc.). These different types of base stations 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and / or different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro base stations may have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico base stations, femto base stations, and relay base stations may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).
[0259] Network controller 130 can be coupled to or communicate with a group of base stations 110 and can provide coordination and control over these base stations 110. Network controller 130 can communicate with base stations 110 via backhaul communication links. Base stations 110 can communicate with each other directly or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul communication links.
[0260] Each UE 120 may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. UE 120 may include, for example, access terminals, terminals, mobile stations, and / or subscriber units. UE 120 may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet device, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and / or a satellite radio), an in-vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a GPS device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.
[0261] Some UEs 120 may be considered Machine-Type Communication (MTC) UEs, or evolved or enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC UEs and / or eMTC UEs may include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, location tags, etc., which can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered client equipment. UE 120 may be included within a housing that houses the components of UE 120, such as processor components and / or memory components. In some examples, the processor components and memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.
[0262] Generally, any number of wireless networks 100 can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network 100 can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency may be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.
[0263] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocols), and / or mesh networks. In such examples, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as performed by base station 110.
[0264] Devices in Wireless Network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., according to frequency or wavelength. For example, each device in Wireless Network 100 can communicate using one or more operating frequency bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating frequency bands have been designated as frequency ranges FR1 (410MHz–7.125GHz) and FR2 (24.25GHz–52.6GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6GHz, FR1 is generally (interchangeably) referred to as the “sub-6GHz band” in various documents and articles. Similar naming issues sometimes arise regarding FR2; although different from the Very High Frequency (EHF) band (30GHz–300GHz) designated as the “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), FR2 is generally (interchangeably) referred to as the millimeter wave band in various documents and articles.
[0265] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as intermediate frequency (IF) bands. Recent 5G NR studies have designated the operating bands of these IF bands as the frequency range designation FR3 (7.125 GHz – 24.25 GHz). Bands falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 and / or FR2 characteristics, thus effectively extending the characteristics of FR1 and / or FR2 into the IF band. Additionally, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation above 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating frequency bands have been designated as the frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz – 71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz – 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz – 300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.
[0266] Considering the examples above, unless otherwise stated, it should be understood that, as used herein, the term "sub-6GHz," etc., can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6GHz, within FR1, or that may include intermediate frequency band frequencies. Furthermore, unless otherwise stated, it should be understood that, as used herein, the term "millimeter wave," etc., can broadly refer to frequencies that may include intermediate frequency band frequencies, within FR2, FR4, FR4-a, or FR4-1 or FR5, or within the EHF band. It is conceivable that the frequencies included in these operating frequency bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4-a, FR4-1, and / or FR5) can be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.
[0267] As indicated above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 1 The example described.
[0268] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of communication between a base station 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a to 234t, such as T antennas (T≥1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a to 252r, such as R antennas (R≥1).
[0269] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 can receive data from data source 212 intended for UE 120 (or a group of UEs 120). Transmit processor 220 can select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from UE 120. UE 120 can process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for UE 120 and can provide data symbols to UE 120. Transmit processor 220 can process system information (e.g., semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or higher-layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 can generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). Transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, where applicable, and can provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., T modulators) (shown as modems 232a to 232t). For example, each output symbol stream can be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of modem 232. Each modem 232 can use a corresponding modular component to process the corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may further use corresponding modular components to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. Modems 232a to 232t may transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas) (shown as antennas 234a to 234t).
[0270] At UE 120, an antenna set 252 (shown as antennas 252a to 252r) can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations 110 and can provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to a set of modems 254 (e.g., R modems) (shown as modems 254a to 254r). For example, each received signal can be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of modem 254. Each modem 254 can use a corresponding demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and / or digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each modem 254 can use the demodulator component to further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from modem 254, perform MIMO detection on these received symbols where applicable, and can provide detected symbols. The receiver processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) these detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide decoded control and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) parameters, Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) parameters, Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) parameters, and / or CQI parameters, etc. In some examples, one or more components of UE 120 may be included in housing 284.
[0271] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include one or more devices, such as those in the core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.
[0272] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more antenna element assemblies, and / or one or more antenna arrays, etc., or may be included therein. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element assemblies, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements (within a single housing or multiple housings), coplanar antenna element assemblies, non-coplanar antenna element assemblies, and / or one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmit and / or receive components, such as... Figure 2 One or more components.
[0273] On the uplink, at UE 120, transmit processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). Transmit processor 264 can generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from transmit processor 264 may be pre-encoded by TX MIMO processor 266 where applicable, further processed by modem 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some examples, modem 254 of UE 120 may include modulator and demodulator. In some examples, UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antennas 252, modems 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver can be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., references). Figures 3A to 8 ).
[0274] At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and / or other UEs may be received by antenna 234, processed by modem 232 (e.g., demodulator component of modem 232, shown as DEMOD), detected by MIMO detector 236 where applicable, and further processed by receiver processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receiver processor 238 may provide the decoded data to data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and may communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink and / or uplink communication. In some examples, modem 232 of base station 110 may include modulator and demodulator. In some examples, base station 110 includes transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antennas 234, modems 232, MIMO detectors 236, receiver processors 238, transmitter processors 220, and / or TX MIMO processors 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., references). Figures 3A to 8 ).
[0275] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2Any other component may perform one or more techniques associated with determining the UE's Connected Mode Discontinuous Reception (C-DRX) configuration when multiple applications are running on the UE, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component may execute or direct, for example Figure 5 Process 500 Figure 6 Process 600 Figure 7 Process 700 Figure 8 The operation of process 800 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and memory 282 may store data and program code for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some examples, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly executed, or executed after compilation, transformation, and / or interpretation), the one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 may cause the one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 to perform or direct, for example... Figure 5 Process 500 Figure 6 Process 600 Figure 7 Process 700 Figure 8 The operation of process 800, and / or other processes described herein. In some examples, the execution instructions may include run instructions, transform instructions, compile instructions, and / or interpret instructions, etc.
[0276] although Figure 2 The boxes in the diagram are interpreted as different components, but the functions described above with respect to these boxes can be implemented by a single hardware component, software component, or combination of components. For example, the functions described with respect to transmit processor 264, receive processor 258, and / or TX MIMO processor 266 can be performed by controller / processor 280 or under the control of controller / processor 280.
[0277] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: means for receiving a set of values of C-DRX configuration parameters at a modem from an application processor, each set of values of the C-DRX configuration parameters being associated with a corresponding application among a plurality of active applications operating on the UE; means for determining a selected set of values of the C-DRX configuration parameters based at least in part on the set of values of the C-DRX configuration parameters, wherein the means for determining the selected set of values includes: means for identifying an extreme value of a first C-DRX configuration parameter among the sets of values; and means for determining a selected value of the first C-DRX configuration parameter as an extreme value of the first C-DRX configuration parameter; means for transmitting a request indicating the selected set of values of the C-DRX configuration parameter; and so on. In some aspects, such means may include a combination of Figure 2 One or more components of the described UE 120, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, etc.
[0278] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: means for detecting a trigger for updating the value of a C-DRX configuration parameter; means for determining a selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameter based at least in part on the detection of the trigger; means for transmitting a request indicating the selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameter; and so on. In some aspects, such means may include combinations of... Figure 2 One or more components of the described UE 120, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254.
[0279] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: means for identifying a set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters, each set of values in the set of C-DRX configuration parameters being associated with a corresponding application among a plurality of active applications operating on the UE; means for determining a selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters based at least in part on the set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters; means for providing the selected set of values for transmission in a request indicative of the C-DRX configuration parameters; and so on. In some aspects, such means may include combinations Figure 2 One or more components of the described UE 120, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, etc.
[0280] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: means for detecting a trigger for updating the value of a C-DRX configuration parameter; means for determining a selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameter based at least in part on the detection of the trigger; means for providing the selected set of values for transmission in a request indicating the selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameter; and so on. In some aspects, such means may include combinations of Figure 2 One or more components of the described UE 120, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, etc.
[0281] As indicated above, Figure 2 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 2 The example described.
[0282] In some scenarios, the UE may continuously monitor the radio link for indications that it has downlink data to receive. In other scenarios (e.g., to save power and extend battery life), the UE may be configured with a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, which includes one or more DRX states. A DRX cycle may include an active state (e.g., an on-time period during which the UE may monitor control information (e.g., on the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH))) and a sleep or idle state (where the UE may power down some or all of its radio components to save power). In some scenarios, the UE may be configured with a connected-mode DRX (C-DRX) state, in which the UE powers down a portion of its radio components but maintains some level of access layer context with the base station (e.g., at least some level of synchronization, timing, etc.). Operation in C-DRX state can save UE power consumption, thereby improving battery life.
[0283] A C-DRX state can have a set of associated C-DRX configuration parameters that define the C-DRX state. This set of C-DRX configuration parameters can include, for example, an onset duration, an inactive timer, a short cycle duration, a long cycle duration, and several short cycles (also known as short cycle timers). The values used for these C-DRX configuration parameters typically involve risk / reward trade-offs. For example, when the network wants to transmit time-sensitive traffic, the UE might be in a sleep mode of the C-DRX state, which could lead to unacceptable latency (e.g., increased latency) and / or interruptions (e.g., in the case of buffer overflow). Conversely, if the onset duration of the C-DRX state is longer than necessary, the UE may consume excessive battery power.
[0284] It is worth noting that traffic profiles and latency requirements can vary significantly across different applications that may be operating on the UE at a given time. For example, web browsing or gaming applications may require low latency, making long DRX cycles unsuitable. Conversely, video streaming applications can tolerate higher latency due to C-DRX because data is buffered before playback. Ideally, the values of C-DRX configuration parameters should be selected based on the active applications operating on the UE.
[0285] In some scenarios, a UE (e.g., UE 120) may be able to determine, at least in part, the expected values of C-DRX configuration parameters that define the C-DRX state based on information associated with an application operating on the UE. For example, the UE may be configured with a C-DRX adaptation algorithm that receives information associated with an application operating on the UE as input and provides the expected values of the C-DRX configuration parameters as output. The C-DRX adaptation algorithm may be configured on, for example, the UE's application processor (e.g., controller / processor 280), the UE's modem (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 254), and / or another component of the UE. Information associated with the application may include, for example, an application identifier, information indicating the activity mode associated with the application (e.g., web browsing, video, audio, games, etc.), information indicating the application status (e.g., whether the application is running in the foreground or background), information associated with the application's traffic profile (e.g., the size of traffic bursts, the time / periodality between bursts), information associated with the application's data activity (e.g., the number of bytes transmitted or received), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) information associated with the application (e.g., the number of active / open TCP connections), preferred values for C-DRX configuration parameters (e.g., the suggested or previously expected set of C-DRX configuration parameter values for the application), and other examples.
[0286] In some cases, the C-DRX adaptation algorithm can take into account the operational information associated with the UE. That is, in some cases, the C-DRX adaptation algorithm can be designed to receive operational information associated with the UE as another input. This operational information (also known as system status information) can include various types of status information associated with the UE, such as battery status, charging status, screen status, Bluetooth / hotspot status, etc.
[0287] The UE can use information associated with the application and (optionally) operational information to determine the expected values of the C-DRX configuration parameters for the C-DRX state. For example, the UE (e.g., its application processor, modem, and / or another component) can provide input to a C-DRX adaptation manager configured with a C-DRX adaptation algorithm (e.g., implemented in the UE's application processor, modem, and / or another component). The C-DRX adaptation manager can receive these inputs and can provide the expected values of the C-DRX configuration parameters as output. As indicated above, the set of expected values for the C-DRX configuration parameters may include expected values for the on duration, expected values for inactive timers (e.g., inactive timer duration values), expected values for short cycle durations, expected values for long cycle durations, expected values for several short cycles, etc. These outputs can be provided to, for example, the UE's application processor, modem, or another component. The UE can then transmit a request to the base station (e.g., via Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Media Access Control (MAC) control elements, Internet Protocol (IP) based signaling, etc.) to indicate a set of desired values for C-DRX configuration parameters.
[0288] The base station can receive a request from the UE and, in response, transmit a signal indicating a set of configured values for the desired C-DRX configuration parameters for the UE. For example, the base station can receive the set of desired values from the UE and determine whether each desired value can be configured or adopted for the UE's C-DRX state. The base station can also consider the desired values, among other information (e.g., network state, network congestion level, etc.), and, if possible, select the desired value as the configured value for the C-DRX configuration parameter set. However, in some examples, the base station may utilize a portion, but perhaps not all, of the set of desired values as the configured value (e.g., when the base station has other information that makes adopting the entire set of desired values impractical). The UE can receive a signal indicating the configured values for the C-DRX configuration parameter set, and then the UE can operate in the C-DRX state according to the configured parameters from the base station.
[0289] It is worth noting that the C-DRX adaptation algorithm described above can be used to determine the expected set of C-DRX configuration parameters based on information associated with a single active application. However, in practice, two or more active applications may be operating on the UE at a given time. Therefore, it is necessary to determine how to determine the expected set of C-DRX configuration parameters for the UE when multiple active applications are operating on it.
[0290] Some aspects described herein provide techniques and apparatus for a UE to determine a set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters when multiple active applications are operating on the UE. In some aspects, the UE may identify a set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters. Here, each value in the set of C-DRX configuration parameters may be associated with a corresponding one of the multiple active applications operating on the UE. The UE may then determine a selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters based at least in part on the set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters. The UE may then provide the selected set of values.
[0291] Furthermore, some aspects described herein provide techniques and apparatus for a UE to update a set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters. In some aspects, the UE can detect a trigger for updating the values of the C-DRX configuration parameters, and the UE can determine a selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters based at least in part on the detection of the trigger. The UE can then provide the selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters. Additional details are provided below.
[0292] Figure 3A and 3B This is a diagram illustrating example 300 related to the determination of C-DRX configuration parameter values by the UE when multiple active applications are operating on the UE, according to this disclosure. Figure 3A As shown, Example 300 includes communication between base station 110 and UE 120. In some aspects, base station 110 and UE 120 may be included in a wireless network (such as wireless network 100). Base station 110 and UE 120 may communicate on a wireless access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink.
[0293] As indicated by label 305, the UE can identify multiple active applications operating on the UE. In some aspects, the UE can identify an application as an active application based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the application. For example, the UE can determine one or more characteristics of an application and can identify the application as an active application based at least in part on those one or more characteristics.
[0294] The one or more characteristics may include, for example, one or more metrics associated with the application, such as throughput associated with the application (e.g., average throughput over a specific time interval), the number of active intervals of the application (e.g., the number of time intervals within a given time period during which the UE transmits or receives data associated with the application), and / or one or more other types of metrics. In this regard, the UE may identify the application as an active application based at least in part on determining that one or more characteristics satisfy corresponding thresholds associated with the one or more characteristics. For example, the UE may determine the throughput associated with the application and the number of active intervals of the application. Here, if the throughput satisfies (e.g., greater than or equal to) the throughput threshold and the number of active intervals satisfies the active frequency threshold, the UE may identify the application as an active application. Conversely, if the throughput does not satisfy (e.g., less than) the throughput threshold or the number of active intervals does not satisfy the active frequency threshold, the UE may not identify the application as an active application.
[0295] As another example, the feature may include the level of user interaction associated with the application, such as whether the application's user interface is being provided for display to the user (e.g., on the UE's display screen, via screen mirroring / dock to an external screen, etc.), whether audio associated with the application is being provided for the user to listen to (e.g., whether the application is using the UE's speakers, by connecting to the UE's speakers via wired or wireless connections, etc., to play audio), or indicating another type of mechanism for user interaction. In such respects, the UE may identify the application as an active application based at least in part on the feature indicating the level of user interaction. For example, if the feature indicates that the application is being provided for display or for the user to listen to, the UE may identify the application as an active application. Conversely, if the feature indicates that the application is not being provided for display or for the user to listen to, the UE may not identify the application as an active application.
[0296] In some aspects, the UE can determine whether a given application is active on a periodic basis (e.g., so that the UE can reassess the activity of a given application over time). In other aspects, the UE can determine whether a given application is active based at least in part on indications (e.g., from the user, from the base station). In Example 300, the UE identifies multiple (i.e., at least two) active applications operating on the UE.
[0297] As indicated by label 310, the UE can identify a set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters, wherein each set of values in the set of C-DRX configuration parameters is associated with a corresponding one of a plurality of active applications operating on the UE.
[0298] In some aspects, the set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters may be provided to the UE or determined by the UE (e.g., at an earlier time). For example, the set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters may be pre-configured on the UE. As a specific example, one or more sets of values for C-DRX configuration parameters may be pre-configured on the UE by the base station. As another specific example, one or more sets of values for C-DRX configuration parameters (e.g., a table including one or more sets of values for C-DRX configuration parameters) may be pre-configured on the UE by a software client (e.g., on an advanced operating system), which may obtain the one or more sets of values (e.g., table entries) locally (e.g., by reading from static memory) or by receiving the one or more sets of values from an application server (e.g., for initial configuration of the table, for updating a previously configured table, etc.). As another specific example, one or more sets of values for C-DRX configuration parameters may be pre-configured on the UE via software update. In some aspects, one or more sets of values for C-DRX configuration parameters may be updated in the UE's static memory.
[0299] As another example, the set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters can be calculated by the UE (e.g., using the C-DRX adaptive algorithm, as described above) and stored on the UE.
[0300] In some respects, the UE can determine the value of a specific C-DRX configuration parameter in one of these sets of values, at least in part, based on the characteristics or requirements of the associated application. For example, the UE can determine the value of an inactive timer for a given application, at least in part, based on the traffic profile of that application. As a specific example, the UE can determine the value of an inactive timer such that the value of the inactive timer is greater than or equal to the 50th percentile burst time of the application's traffic profile. In this example, if the 50th percentile burst time of a particular application's traffic is 75 milliseconds (ms), then the UE can determine the value of the inactive timer to be 75 ms. It is worth noting that if the inactive timer value can only be selected from a set of allowed values (e.g., as specified in the relevant 3GPP standards), then the UE can determine the value of the inactive timer from that set of allowed values. For example, if the UE determines the value of the inactive timer to be 75 ms, and the closest value in the set of allowed values not less than the 50th percentile burst time is 80 ms, then the UE can determine the value of the inactive timer to be 80 ms. Alternatively, the application domain can provide the UE with the value of the inactive timer, or the application domain can provide the UE with the burst time value, and the UE can determine the value of the inactive timer accordingly.
[0301] As another example, the UE can determine the duration of a long DRX cycle for a given application, at least in part, based on the latency requirements of that application. As a specific example, the UE can determine the duration of a long DRX cycle such that the duration is less than or equal to the 99th percentile latency requirement for that application. In this example, if the 99th percentile latency requirement is 165ms, the UE can determine the duration of the long DRX cycle to be 165ms. It is worth noting that if the duration of the long DRX cycle can only be selected from a set of allowed values (e.g., as specified in the relevant 3GPP standards), the UE can determine the duration of the long DRX cycle from the set of allowed values. For example, if the UE determines the duration of the long DRX cycle to be 165ms, and the closest value in the set of allowed values not exceeding the 99th percentile latency requirement is 160ms, the UE can determine the duration of the long DRX cycle to be 160ms. Alternatively, the application domain may provide the UE with the duration of a long DRX cycle, or the application domain may provide the UE with an indication of the delay requirement, and the UE may determine the duration of the long DRX cycle accordingly.
[0302] In some respects, a given set of values includes specific values for one or more C-DRX configuration parameters (e.g., inactive timer, long loop duration, short loop duration, short loop timer, etc.) and is associated with an application identifier that associates these sets of values with an application. Figure 3B This is a diagram showing a sample table containing a set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters used in four different applications. As an example, such as... Figure 3B As shown, the set of values used to identify the application as App1 includes the value a1 of the inactive timer, the value b1 of the long loop duration, the value c1 of the short loop duration, and the value d1 of the short loop timer. In some aspects, such as Figure 3B As shown, applications can be associated with priority levels (e.g., App1 and...). Figure 3B (Associated with priority level 1 in the context), this priority level can be used to determine the selected set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters, as described below.
[0303] Back Figure 3A As indicated by label 315, the UE may determine the selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters based at least in part on the set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters. The selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters is the set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters that the UE intends to indicate in a request provided to the base station (e.g., so that the base station can determine the configured set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters).
[0304] In some respects, the UE can determine that the selected value of a particular C-DRX configuration parameter is the maximum value of that particular C-DRX configuration parameter from a set of C-DRX configuration parameter values. For example, the UE can identify M (M>1) active applications and therefore can identify M sets of C-DRX configuration parameters, where each of the M sets of values is associated with one of the M active applications. Here, the UE can identify the maximum value of a particular C-DRX configuration parameter within these M sets of values, and the UE can identify that the selected value of that particular C-DRX configuration parameter is the maximum value. As a specific example, the UE can identify the maximum value of an inactive timer within these M sets of values, and the UE can identify that the selected value of an inactive timer is the determined maximum value.
[0305] In some respects, the UE can determine that the selected value of a particular C-DRX configuration parameter is the minimum value of that particular C-DRX configuration parameter from a set of C-DRX configuration parameter values. For example, the UE can identify M active applications and therefore can identify M sets of C-DRX configuration parameters, where each of the M sets of values is associated with one of the M active applications. Here, the UE can identify the minimum value of a particular C-DRX configuration parameter among the M sets of values, and the UE can identify that the selected value of the particular C-DRX configuration parameter is the minimum value. As a specific example, the UE can identify the minimum duration of a long cycle among the M sets of values, and the UE can identify that the selected value of the duration of a long DRX cycle is the determined minimum value.
[0306] In some aspects, the UE can determine the selected value of one or more C-DRX configuration parameters based at least in part on a set of values that includes selected values of another C-DRX configuration parameter. For example, the UE can identify an extreme value (e.g., minimum or maximum value) of a particular C-DRX configuration parameter within the M value sets, and can identify a selected value of the particular C-DRX configuration parameter as that extreme value, as described above. Here, the UE can identify the selected value of one or more other C-DRX configuration parameters from the set of values that includes the extreme value of the particular C-DRX configuration parameter. As a specific example, the UE can identify the minimum value of the long cycle duration within the M value sets, and the UE can identify the selected value of the long DRX cycle duration as the determined minimum value. Next, the UE can identify the duration of the short DRX cycle and the selected value of the short DRX cycle timer from the set of values that includes the minimum value of the long DRX cycle duration.
[0307] In some respects, the UE can determine the selected set of C-DRX configuration parameter values based at least in part on the priority associated with active applications. For example, as mentioned above... Figure 3BAs indicated, these sets of values may include priority levels associated with one or more active applications. Here, the UE may determine the selected set of C-DRX configuration parameters based at least in part on the priority levels. For example, the UE may identify one or more active applications among the plurality of active applications that have the highest priority value (e.g., priority level 1), and may determine the selected set of values based at least in part on one or more sets of values corresponding to the one or more active applications that have the highest priority value.
[0308] In some respects, a single active application has the highest priority level. In such cases, the UE may determine the selected set of values based at least in part on a single set of values (e.g., the selected set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters may include the set of values associated with the application having the highest priority level).
[0309] In some respects, multiple active applications have the highest priority level, and the set of values associated with these multiple active applications may be the same (e.g., the set of values may be the same for each of the multiple active applications). In such cases, the UE may determine the selected set of values based at least in part on any of the values associated with the multiple active applications (e.g., the selected set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters may include the set of values associated with all applications having the highest priority level).
[0310] In some respects, multiple active applications may have the highest priority level, and the sets of values associated with these active applications may differ. In such cases, the UE may determine the selected set of values based at least in part on multiple sets of values for C-DRX configuration parameters. For example, when the value of a first C-DRX configuration parameter (e.g., an inactive timer) differs across these multiple sets of values, the UE may determine that the selected value of the first C-DRX configuration parameter is the maximum value of the first C-DRX configuration parameter across these multiple sets of values. As another example, when the value of a second C-DRX configuration parameter (e.g., the duration of a long DRX cycle) differs across these multiple sets of values, the UE may determine that the selected value of the second C-DRX configuration parameter is the maximum value of the second C-DRX configuration parameter across these multiple sets of values. Continuing this example, the UE may determine the selected value of one or more other C-DRX configuration parameters (e.g., the duration of a short DRX cycle, a short DRX cycle timer, etc.) based at least in part on the set of values in these multiple sets that includes the selected value of the second C-DRX configuration parameter.
[0311] In some respects, the set of selected values determined by the UE may be a set of default values for C-DRX configuration parameters. In other respects, the UE stores a set of default values for C-DRX configuration parameters per cell, which may be determined as the C-DRX configuration in the first reconfiguration associated with that cell.
[0312] In some aspects, the UE may determine that the selected set of values is a default value set based at least in part on the determination that the network does not support the first selected set of values. For example, the UE may determine the first selected set of values based at least in part on these value sets as described above. Next, the UE may determine that the network does not support the first selected set of values. For example, in some aspects, the UE may store a list of C-DRX configurations supported by the network (e.g., a list of supported value sets for C-DRX configuration parameters) and may determine that the first selected set of values is supported based at least in part on the list of supported C-DRX configurations. In some aspects, the list of supported C-DRX configurations may be stored by Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), Tracking Area Code (TAC), Cell Identifier, or the UE's location (e.g., determined by Global Positioning System (GPS), Wi-Fi, Basic Service Set (BSS) Identifier, etc.). Here, the UE may determine that the selected set of values is a default value set based at least in part on the determination that the network does not support the first selected set of values.
[0313] As indicated by label 320, the UE can transmit a request indicating a selected set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters. For example, the UE can transmit the request to the base station (e.g., via RRC signaling, MAC control elements, IP-based signaling, etc.). As described above, the base station can receive the request from the UE and, in response, transmit a signal indicating a configured set of desired values for the C-DRX configuration parameters used by the UE.
[0314] As indicated above, Figures 3A to 3B This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figures 3A to 3B The example described.
[0315] Figure 4 This is an illustration of example 400, illustrating the association between the UE and the detection of a trigger for updating C-DRX configuration parameters according to this disclosure, to determine the value of the C-DRX configuration parameters. (See diagram below.) Figure 4 As shown, Example 400 includes communication between base station 110 and UE 120. In some aspects, base station 110 and UE 120 may be included in a wireless network (such as wireless network 100). Base station 110 and UE 120 may communicate on a wireless access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink.
[0316] As indicated by label 405, the UE can detect triggers for updating the values of C-DRX configuration parameters. In some aspects, such triggers include events that cause the UE to update the values of C-DRX configuration parameters used for the UE's C-DRX state.
[0317] In some respects, this trigger determines that no active application is operating on the UE. For example, the UE may execute procedures associated with identifying active applications on the UE, as described above. Figure 3A and 3B As described, the determination that no active application is operating on the UE (e.g., within a specific time period) can be used as a trigger for updating the values of C-DRX configuration parameters. In some aspects, the lack of active application triggering may be limited to a specific set of applications (e.g., a predefined set of applications).
[0318] In some respects, this trigger is a determination that an application operating on the UE has become an active application operating on the UE. For example, the UE may execute a procedure associated with identifying an active application on the UE, as described above with respect to Figure 3. Here, the UE's determination that an application has become recently active can be used as a trigger for updating the values of C-DRX configuration parameters.
[0319] In some respects, this trigger is based on determining that the state of an active application operating on the UE has changed from a first state to a second state. For example, the UE may determine that an active application has switched from operating in the foreground to operating in the background, and this determination may be used as a trigger for updating the values of C-DRX configuration parameters.
[0320] As indicated by label 410, the selection set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameter may be determined at least in part based on the detection of the trigger. In some respects, the way the UE determines the selection set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameter depends on the type of trigger detected by the UE.
[0321] In some respects, if the trigger determines that no active application is operating on the UE, the UE can determine that the selected set of values is the default set of C-DRX configuration parameters.
[0322] In some respects, if the trigger is a determination that an application has become an active application (e.g., when a new active application is identified), the UE can determine the selected set of values by recalculating the set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters. For example, in some respects, the UE can combine the above... Figure 3A and Figure 3B The described method determines a selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters to recalculate that set of values. Alternatively, the UE can determine the desired set of values by using the C-DRX adaptation algorithm configured on the UE to recalculate that set of values.
[0323] In some respects, if the trigger determines that the state of an active application operating on the UE has changed from a first state to a second state, the UE can determine the selected set of values by recalculating the set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters. For example, in some respects, the UE can combine the above... Figure 3A and Figure 3B The described method determines a selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters to recalculate that set of values. Alternatively, the UE can determine the desired set of values by using the C-DRX adaptation algorithm configured on the UE to recalculate that set of values.
[0324] As indicated by label 415, the UE can transmit a request indicating a selected set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters. For example, the UE can transmit the request to the base station (e.g., via RRC signaling, MAC control elements, IP-based signaling, etc.). As described above, the base station can receive the request from the UE and, in response, transmit a signal indicating a configured set of desired values for the C-DRX configuration parameters used by the UE.
[0325] As indicated above, Figure 4 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 4 The example described.
[0326] Figure 5 This is a diagram illustrating an example procedure 500 performed by a UE according to this disclosure. Example procedure 500 is an example in which a UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with determining the value of a C-DRX configuration parameter.
[0327] like Figure 5 As shown, in some aspects, process 500 may include receiving a set of C-DRX configuration parameter values at a modem from an application processor, each set of C-DRX configuration parameter values being associated with a corresponding application among a plurality of active applications operating on the UE (block 510). For example, the UE (e.g., using parameter receiving component 908) may receive a set of C-DRX configuration parameter values at a modem from an application processor, each set of C-DRX configuration parameter values being associated with a corresponding application among a plurality of active applications operating on the UE, as described above.
[0328] like Figure 5As further illustrated, in some aspects, process 500 may include determining a selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameter based at least in part on the set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameter (block 520). For example, the UE (e.g., using determining component 910) may determine the selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameter based at least in part on the set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameter, as described above. In some aspects, when determining the selected set of values, the UE may identify an extreme value of the first C-DRX configuration parameter within these value sets and determine that the selected value of the first C-DRX configuration parameter is that extreme value of the first C-DRX configuration parameter.
[0329] like Figure 5 As further shown, in some aspects, process 500 may include transmitting a request indicating a selected set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters (block 530). For example, the UE (e.g., using transmission component 904) may transmit a request indicating a selected set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters, as described above.
[0330] Process 500 may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and / or in conjunction with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.
[0331] In a first aspect, process 500 includes identifying an application operating on the UE as an active application, which is one of a plurality of active applications, wherein identifying the application as an active application includes determining the characteristics of the application and identifying the application as an active application based at least in part on the characteristics of the application.
[0332] In a second aspect, identifying an application as an active application, either alone or in combination with the first aspect, at least in part based on the characteristic, includes: determining that a characteristic associated with the application satisfies a threshold associated with the characteristic; and identifying the application as an active application at least in part based on determining that the characteristic satisfies the threshold associated with the characteristic.

[0347] In the seventeenth aspect, determining the selected value set, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to sixteenth aspects, at least partially based on the two or more value sets, includes: determining a selected value for a first C-DRX configuration parameter at least partially based on the two or more value sets, and determining a selected value for one or more other C-DRX configuration parameters at least partially based on a value set in the two or more value sets that includes the selected value of the first C-DRX configuration parameter.
[0348] In the eighteenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to seventeenth aspects, the selected set of values is the set of default values for C-DRX configuration parameters.
[0349] In the nineteenth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to eighteenth aspects, the set of default values is associated with at least one of the public land mobile network, tracking area code, cellular identifier, or the location of the UE.

[0351] although Figure 5 An example box of process 500 is shown, but in some respects, process 500 may include... Figure 5 The boxes depicted in the process are compared to additional boxes, fewer boxes, different boxes, or boxes arranged differently. Additionally or alternatively, two or more boxes in process 500 can be executed in parallel.
[0352] Figure 6This is a diagram illustrating an example procedure 600 performed by a UE according to this disclosure. Example procedure 600 is an example in which a UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with determining the values of C-DRX configuration parameters.
[0353] like Figure 6 As shown, in some aspects, process 600 may include detecting a trigger for updating the value of the C-DRX configuration parameters (block 610). For example, the UE (e.g., using detection component 1008) may detect a trigger for updating the value of the C-DRX configuration parameters as described above.
[0354] like Figure 6 As further illustrated, in some aspects, process 600 may include determining a selected set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters based at least in part on the detection of the trigger (box 620). For example, the UE (e.g., using determining component 1010) may determine the selected set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters based at least in part on the detection of the trigger, as described above.
[0355] like Figure 6 As further shown, in some aspects, process 600 may include transmitting a request indicating a selected set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters (block 630). For example, the UE (e.g., using transmission component 1004) may transmit a request indicating a selected set of values for C-DRX configuration parameters, as described above.
[0356] Process 600 may include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and / or in conjunction with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.
[0357] In the first respect, the trigger is based on the determination that no active application is operating on the UE.
[0358] In the second aspect, either alone or in combination with the first aspect, determining the selected set of values includes at least in part a set of default values for the C-DRX configuration parameters determined based on the determination that no active application is operating on the UE.
[0359] In the third aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first and second aspects, the set of default values is associated with at least one of the public land mobile network, tracking area code, cellular identifier, or the location of the UE.
[0360] In the fourth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to third aspects, the trigger is the determination that an application operating on the UE has become an active application operating on the UE.
[0361] In the fifth aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to fourth aspects, determining the selected set of values includes at least in part a set of values for recalculating C-DRX configuration parameters based on determining that the application has become an active application.
[0362] In the sixth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first to fifth aspects, the trigger is determining that the state of an active application operating on the UE has changed from a first state to a second state.
[0363] In the seventh aspect, either alone or in combination with one or more of the first to sixth aspects, determining the selected set of values includes at least in part recalculating the set of C-DRX configuration parameters based on determining that the state of the active application has changed from a first state to a second state.
[0364] although Figure 6 An example box of process 600 is shown, but in some respects, process 600 may include... Figure 6 The boxes depicted in the process are compared to additional boxes, fewer boxes, different boxes, or boxes arranged differently. Additionally or alternatively, two or more boxes in process 600 can be executed in parallel.
[0365] Figure 7 This is a diagram illustrating an example procedure 700 performed by a UE according to this disclosure. Example procedure 700 is an example in which a UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with determining the value of a C-DRX configuration parameter.
[0366] like Figure 7 As shown, in some aspects, process 700 may include a set of values identifying C-DRX configuration parameters, each set of values in the set of C-DRX configuration parameters being associated with a corresponding application among a plurality of active applications operating on the UE (block 710). For example, the UE (e.g., using identification component 1108) may identify a set of values for Connectivity Mode Discontinuous Reception (C-DRX) configuration parameters, each set of values in the set of C-DRX configuration parameters being associated with a corresponding active application among a plurality of active applications operating on the UE, as described above.
[0367] like Figure 7 As further illustrated, in some aspects, process 700 may include determining a selected set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters based at least in part on the set of values for the C-DRX configuration parameters (block 720).
