AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When switching different numbers of antenna ports, existing wireless communication systems have problems such as increasing energy consumption and large signaling overhead, making it difficult to achieve efficient signaling and power savings with low overhead.

Method used

By providing multiple operating modes at the network entity, each operating mode is associated with different energy consumption and selecting an appropriate operating mode based on the energy consumption. The system provides a set of operating modes to the user equipment (UE), including a first operating mode and a second operating mode, with a lower energy consumption and switching to a corresponding operating mode within a specified time interval.

Benefits of technology

It realizes the reduction of energy consumption of network entities without loss, and provides flexible operation mode selection, reduces signaling overhead and delay, and improves network efficiency.

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication in which a network entity is operable using a plurality of modes of operation in which different modes of operation are associated with different energy consumptions. A network entity may provide a set of modes of operation to one or more user equipments (UEs), and each mode of operation in the set of modes of operation may be selectable for communication between the one or more UEs and the network entity within an associated time interval. The network entity and the one or more UEs may communicate using a first mode of operation, and the network entity may provide an indication of a second mode of operation (e.g., a lower power mode). Based on the indication of the second mode of operation, the one or more UEs and the network entity may communicate according to the second mode of operation within the time interval associated with the second mode of operation.
