DRX Cycle Configuration for Energy-Saving Terminal Latency Balance

The patent applies local quality by configuring different DRX cycle lengths for different terminal devices based on their energy-saving capabilities. Energy-saving terminal devices are configured with longer DRX cycles to reduce power consumption, while non-energy-saving devices use shorter DRX cycles to maintain low latency. This differentiated configuration allows each device to operate with optimal DRX parameters suited to its specific requirements.

The patent implements dynamics by making the DRX cycle configuration adjustable and adaptable. The network device can dynamically configure appropriate DRX cycle lengths for different terminal devices based on their energy-saving functions and service requirements. This dynamic configuration approach allows the system to optimize the balance between power consumption and latency for each device individually.

The patent applies segmentation by dividing terminal devices into different categories based on their energy-saving capabilities. The network device segments devices into energy-saving terminal devices and non-energy-saving terminal devices, and configures appropriate DRX cycles for each segment. This segmentation approach enables targeted optimization without requiring complex individual configurations for every device.

The patent implements parameter changes by modifying the DRX cycle parameter based on terminal device characteristics. The network device changes the DRX cycle parameter from a uniform value to device-specific values, allowing energy-saving devices to use longer cycles while non-energy-saving devices use shorter cycles. This parameter adjustment resolves the contradiction between system simplicity and energy-saving performance.
