1 results about "Long sleep" patented technology

Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a method for configuring a User Equipment (UE) to be in a long sleep mode by modifying either the Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle in the Secondary Cells or by using Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) skipping. Once in the long sleep, the UE can be provided with an indication via the Primary Cell to start monitoring the PDCCH. If PDCCH skipping is used, the UE can be provided with an indication that would force the UE to monitor PDCCH, and the UE could be provided with an indication that would result in an “early” start of the Active Time if the DRX configuration was used. The network sends an indication to ensure secondary cell group to minimize PDCCH monitoring when a traffic is not present but to quickly restart PDCCH monitoring in the secondary cell group when traffic is present.
