A system and method for collecting, at a central station, utility consumption data from a plurality of sites, by a meter unit and a booster unit for each site. The meter unit includes a measuring device for measuring the utility consumption at the respective site; a storage device for storing the measured utility consumption during successive relatively-short time intervals; and a short-range transceiver. This booster unit includes a short-range transceiver for communication with the short-range transceiver of the meter unit at the respective site via a short-range transmission channel; and a long-range transmitter for transmitting utility consumption data to the central station via a long-range transmission channel. The system further includes a control system periodically activating the booster unit from a relatively long sleep state, to a relatively short active state during which the booster unit receives from its respective meter unit, via the short-range transmission channel, the utility consumption data stored therein during the preceding sleep state of the booster unit; and transmits the received utility consumption data to the central station via the long-range transmission channel.

Tracking tags for attachment to an object or animal. The tracking tags may include low-power long-range transmitters drawing power from a battery or a renewable energy source. The tracking tags may also each include a microcontroller having a sleep-mode module enabling nearly no quiescent current to be drawn when the microcontroller is in a sleep-mode. The microcontroller may enter into a sleep-mode for long periods of time following a short period of sending data to the low-power long-range transmitter. The short period of sending data may be approximately one-twentieth of the long sleep-mode period. The tracking tags may also include sensors for determining an ambient temperature or biometric data about an animal to which the tracking tag is attached. Locations of the tracking tags may be determined using signal trilateration and/or signal triangulation.

A method and system of electric energy optimization is provided, including that a network side and a UE select a long sleep cycle according to a time delay requirement of an application; in order to enter the long sleep cycle, the UE transmits a request to the network side or the network side transmits an instruction to the UE; if no packet arrives at the UE within the sleep time of the long sleep cycle, the UE enters a long sleep cycle again or enters a longer sleep cycle after the current long sleep cycle is over; within the sleep cycle, if there is an uplink packet, then the UE returns to an active mode to transmit the packet, if a downlink packet arrives, then the UE waits until the sleep cycle is over and then receives the packet; the UE enters a short sleep cycle after receiving or transmitting the packet; wherein the UE can update location during the sleep cycle. The power consumption of a UE and the signaling interaction between the UE and a network side can be reduced and electric energy optimization is achieved.

The invention belongs to the technical field of mobile communication, and particularly relates to a dynamic discontinuous reception method, device and system supporting beam search. The dynamic discontinuous reception method comprises the following steps: a user is divided into an activated state, a short sleep state, a long sleep state and a beam search state; and the UE enters a beam search state to perform beam search and feedback after waking up from a sleep state each time, monitors whether a data packet arrives on a physical downlink control channel or not after establishing a beam alignment pair, and ensures that the UE maintains beam alignment with a base station in real-time communication through the independently set beam search state. Meanwhile, due to the independently set beamsearch state, the effective sleep time of the UE can be reduced and the power consumption of the UE is increased; and as the dynamic discontinuous reception method introduces the long sleep durationgrowth factor, if the UE does not receive data after waking up from the long sleep state, the UE enters the long sleep state again, and the sleep duration is increased, so that the increase of energyconsumption caused by the beam search state can be compensated.

A solar-powered light assembly that communicates by radio with other assemblies is configured such that its radio is operable, in either a long period sleep mode or a short period sleep mode.

A method of cell reselection enhancement is proposed. A UE obtains parameters for extended cell reselection (ECR) in a mobile communication network. The UE goes to sleep and then wakes up periodically to monitor a paging channel. The UE either applies a normal paging cycle having a normal paging cycle length or applies a power-saving paging cycle having a very long paging cycle length. The UE performs cell selection if normal paging cycle is applied. The UE performs cell reselection based on the ECR parameters if the power-saving paging cycle is applied, and if the ECR parameters are still valid based on a list of conditions. In one novel aspect, the network provides the ECR parameters for a wider area for the UE such that the UE can still use cell reselection after waking up from a very long sleep to reduce power consumption.

The invention relates to a discontinuous reception method for wireless communication. The method comprises the following step of setting seven states, wherein the seven states are respectively an active state, a long wake-up state, a common wake-up state, a short sleep state, a short sleep monitoring state, a long sleep state and a long sleep monitoring state. The data packet carries data and also carries two marks, namely a flag1 and a flag2 at the same time; the content of the two marks is related to the arrival time interval of the next data packet, and the base station can know how many time slots the next data packet is to be sent after, so that the base station can design the corresponding marks according to the length of the interval. If the interval is short, the flag 1 is set as 1, and the user equipment is enabled to enter a long wake-up state so as to accept the data packet in a short time; and if the interval is long, the flag 2 is set as 1, so that the user equipment enters a long sleep state, and the energy consumption is reduced.
