Abstract
A terminal, and a method for operating a terminal in idle mode to detect signaling from an access node of a wireless network, comprising receiving configuration from the access node, identifying paging occasions and wake-up signal occasions associated with a discontinuous reception DRX period, receiving information from the access node, identifying a time advance duration; and activating a wireless signal receiver in the terminal for a period of said time advance duration prior to each paging occasion.
Claims16
A method for operating a terminal in idle mode to detect signaling from an access node of a wireless network, comprising
- receiving configuration from the access node, identifying paging occasions and wake-up signal, WUS, occasions associated with a discontinuous reception DRX period,
- receiving information from the access node, identifying a time advance duration, which is dependent on a transmission period of a synchronization signal, which is associated with the DRX period, wherein the transmission period is a fraction 1/k of the DRX period, where k is an integer number;
- activating a wireless signal receiver in the terminal for a period of said time advance duration prior to each paging occasion;
- and
- detecting the synchronization signal in the period of said time advance duration.
A method for signaling a terminal in idle mode from an access node of a wireless network, comprising:
- transmitting configuration to the terminal, identifying repeated paging occasions for the terminal with a discontinuous reception, DRX, period, and wake-up signal, WUS, occasions associated with said paging occasions;
- transmitting system information for terminal reception, identifying a time advance duration, which is dependent on a transmission period of a synchronization signal, which is associated with the DRX period, wherein the transmission period is a fraction 1/k of the DRX period, where k is an integer number;
- and
- transmitting the synchronization signal, which is usable for assisting in detecting the WUS or a control channel in the paging occasion in the terminal, wherein the synchronization signal is repeatedly transmitted with the transmission period which is associated with said DRX period.
A method for signaling a terminal in idle mode from an access node of a wireless network, comprising:
- determining repeated paging occasions for the terminal with a discontinuous reception, DRX, period;
- determining wake-up signal, WUS, occasions associated with said paging occasions;
- transmitting a synchronization signal usable for assisting in detecting the WUS or a control channel in the paging occasion in the terminal, wherein the synchronization signal is repeatedly transmitted with a transmission period which is associated with said DRX period, the transmission period being a fraction 1/k of the DRX period, where k is an integer number.
