US 11,540,218 B2 · Method for determining timing of transmission, network node, and computer program

Abstract

A network node is arranged to operate in a cell of a cellular communication system. The network node includes an interface towards the cellular communication system where the interface is arranged to receive paging information for an idle user equipment, UE, a paging handler arranged to determine a mode of power saving for the UE, and to determine timing for a wake-up signal based on the determined mode and the received paging information, and a transmitter arranged to transmit the wake-up signal at the determined timing. A method of the network node includes receiving paging information for an idle user equipment, UE, from the cellular communication system, determining a mode of power saving for the UE, determining timing for a wake-up signal based on the determined mode and the received paging information, and transmitting the wake-up signal at the determined timing.

Dependent claims

A network node configured to operate in a cell of a cellular communication system, the network node comprising:

an interface towards the cellular communication system, the interface being configured to receive paging information for an idle user equipment, UE;
a paging handler configured to:
determine a mode of power saving for the UE;
and
determine timing for a wake-up signal, WUS, based on the determined mode of power saving for the UE, the received paging information, a paging transmission window for the UE, and a paging occasion within the paging transmission window, the determined mode of power saving for the UE including at least a first mode of power saving for the UE and a second mode of power saving for the UE;
and
a transmitter configured to transmit the wake-up signal at the determined timing.
