Abstract
At least one first control message (2011) indicative of the remote node (103) and of timing information (351, 352) is communicated between a network and a relay node (102). At least one second control message (2012) is communicated via a device-to-device, D2D, channel of the wireless link and between the relay node (102) and the remote node (103) in accordance with the timing information (351, 352). The at least one second control message is indicative of the network paging the remote node (103).
Claims12
A method, comprising:
- a relay node receiving, from a network node of a network and via a wireless link, at least one first control message indicative of a remote node and of timing information, wherein the timing information is specific to the remote node, and
- the relay node transmitting, to the remote node, at least one second control message in accordance with the timing information, each one of the at least one second control message being indicative of the network paging the remote node,
- wherein the at least one first control message is received during an active time of a sleep pattern of the relay node, and
- wherein the method further includes, in response to said receiving of the at least one first control message, the relay node modifying the sleep pattern of the relay node to transmit the at least one second control message in accordance with the timing information.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- triggering transmission, via a wireless link and to a relay node, of at least one first control message indicative of a remote node and of timing information, wherein the timing information is specific to the remote node,
- wherein the at least one first control message causes the relay node to transmit, to the remote node, at least one second control message in accordance with the timing information, each one of the at least one second control message being indicative of the network paging the remote node,
- wherein the at least one first control message is transmitted during an active time of a sleep pattern of the relay node, and
- wherein the at least one first control method further causes the relay node to modify the sleep pattern of the relay node to transmit the at least one second control message in accordance with the timing information.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- a remote node receiving, from a relay node, at least one second control message during an active time of a sleep pattern of the remote node, timing information for the at least one second message, and specific to the remote node, being received by the relay node in at least one first control message from a network node received during an active time of a sleep pattern of the relay node, the sleep pattern being modified by the relay node to transmit the at least one second control message, wherein each one of the at least one second control message is indicative of the network paging the remote node, and
- establishing a data connection with the network in response to receiving the at least one second control message.
