UE Transceiver Segmentation for Power Saving Signal Monitoring
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication technologies face challenges in efficiently managing power consumption in UE devices, particularly in scenarios where UE needs to monitor specific signals while minimizing power usage.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a method and apparatus that allow UE to enter a preset mode where a first transceiver is turned off and a second transceiver with lower power consumption is turned on, specifically configured to monitor a preset signal when a predetermined condition is met.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If UE monitors all signals using the first transceiver, then signal monitoring reliability is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the transceiver functionality into two separate transceivers: a first transceiver for monitoring critical signals (WUS, DCP, PEI) and a second transceiver for other communication functions. This segmentation allows the UE to selectively activate only the necessary transceiver based on the monitoring requirement, thereby reducing power consumption while maintaining signal monitoring reliability for critical signals.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic transceiver switching where the UE can switch between the first and second transceivers based on real-time conditions. When power saving mode is activated, the UE dynamically turns off the first transceiver and uses only the second transceiver for non-critical operations, optimizing the balance between power consumption and monitoring capability based on current network conditions and signal requirements.
2Use of energy by moving object
If UE enters deep sleep mode to reduce power consumption, then power consumption is reduced, but signal monitoring capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by differentiating the monitoring capability between different transceivers. The first transceiver is specifically designed with enhanced capability for monitoring critical power saving signals (WUS, DCP, PEI), while the second transceiver handles other communication tasks. This local differentiation ensures that critical signal monitoring capability is preserved in the first transceiver even when the system operates in low-power mode, as the first transceiver can be selectively activated when needed.
3Device complexity
If UE uses a single transceiver for all functions, then device complexity is reduced, but power consumption management flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the transceiver functions into two distinct transceivers with specialized roles. The first transceiver is dedicated to monitoring critical power saving signals, while the second transceiver handles general communication functions. This segmentation, although increasing hardware complexity, provides granular control over power consumption by allowing the UE to selectively activate only the necessary transceiver based on the current operational requirements, thereby enhancing power consumption management flexibility.

AI summary
A UE includes a first transceiver and a second transceiver. The information processing method, which is executed by the UE, includes: when a preset condition is met, controlling a UB to enter a preset mode in which a first transceiver is switched off and a second transceiver is switched on, wherein the second transceiver, which is switched on, is at least used for monitoring a preset signal.
