Abstract
A method, system, computer readable storage medium, or apparatus provides for or both the use of long extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) and long power saving mode (PSM) without having to wait for the activity timer expiration.
Claims20
A method for power saving mode cycles of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the method comprising:
- receiving one or more values for configuration of a modem of a device;
- in response to the one or more values, setting power saving mode (PSM) to off,
- when PSM is off and extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) is on and set to a duration, performing an attachment procedure or a tracking area update;
- detecting that the duration of the eDRX has expired or reception of a duration of a paging time window;
- based on the detecting that the duration of the eDRX has expired or reception of data end, setting the PSM to on, wherein the PSM has a PSM timer when the PSM is on;
- and
- at a time before the PSM timer expires, setting the PSM to off.
4 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory coupled with the processor, the memory storing executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- receiving one or more values for configuration of a modem of a device;
- in response to the one or more values, setting power saving mode (PSM) to off,
- when PSM is off and extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) is on and set to a duration, performing an attachment procedure or a tracking area update;
- detecting that the duration of the eDRX has expired or reception of a duration of a paging time window;
- based on the detecting that the duration of the eDRX has expired or reception of data end, setting the PSM to on, wherein the PSM has a PSM timer when the PSM is on;
- and
- at a time before the PSM timer expires, setting the PSM to off.
7 more elements
A computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
- receiving one or more values for configuration of a modem of a device;
- in response to the one or more values, setting power saving mode (PSM) to off,
- when PSM is off and extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) is on and set to a duration, performing an attachment procedure or a tracking area update;
- detecting that the duration of the eDRX has expired or reception of a duration of a paging time window;
- based on the detecting that the duration of the eDRX has expired or reception of data end, setting the PSM to on, wherein the PSM has a PSM timer when the PSM is on;
- and
- at a time before the PSM timer expires, setting the PSM to off.
