Abstract
A radio access network sends, to a mobile device, information indicating a cell on a first carrier of a first type and a cell on a second carrier of a second type, and sends, to the mobile device, configuration information regarding whether the mobile device is to connect with a cell on another carrier of a new carrier type. The radio access network sends, to the mobile device, information relating to a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration that is specific to a type of carrier.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- sending, by a radio access network to a mobile device, information indicating a cell on a first carrier of a first type and a cell on a second carrier of a second type;
- sending, by the radio access network to the mobile device, configuration information regarding whether the mobile device is to connect with a cell on another carrier of a new carrier type;
- sending, by the radio access network to the mobile device, information relating to a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration that is specific to a type of carrier, wherein the sending of the DRX configuration comprises:
- sending information relating to a first DRX configuration for communications with the cell on the first carrier of the first type, and
- sending information relating to a second DRX configuration for communications with the cell on the another carrier of the new carrier type.
A mobile device comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, from a radio access network, information indicating a cell on a first carrier of a first type and a cell on a second carrier of a second type;
- receive, from the radio access network, configuration information regarding whether the mobile device is to connect with a cell on another carrier of a new carrier type;
- receive, from the radio access network, information relating to a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration that is specific to a type of carrier, wherein the information relating to the DRX configuration comprises:
- information relating to a first DRX configuration for communications with the cell on the first carrier of the first type, and
- information relating to a second DRX configuration for communications with the cell on the another carrier of the new carrier type.
A network node for a radio access network, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- send, from the network node to a mobile device, information indicating a cell on a first carrier of a first type and a cell on a second carrier of a second type;
- send, from the network node to the mobile device, configuration information regarding whether the mobile device is to connect with a cell on another carrier of a new carrier type;
- send, from the network node to the mobile device, information relating to a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration that is specific to a type of carrier, wherein the information relating to the DRX configuration comprises:
- information relating to a first DRX configuration for communications with the cell on the first carrier of the first type, and
- information relating to a second DRX configuration for communications with the cell on the another carrier of the new carrier type.
