Abstract
A user equipment (UE) determines that a protocol data unit (PDU) session comprises an adaptable PDU session. The UE determines whether a current energy mode of the UE comprises an energy-saving mode. In response to determining that the current energy mode of the UE comprises the energy-saving mode, the UE establishes the adaptable PDU session in a non-always-on mode; and in response to determining that the current energy mode of the UE does not comprise the energy-saving mode, the UE establishes the adaptable PDU session in an always-on mode. Further, the UE can initially establish a mode of a plurality of adaptable PDU sessions as the non-always-on mode, when connecting to a certain type of network.
Claims19
A method in a user equipment (UE) comprising:
- determining that a protocol data unit (PDU) session comprises an adaptable PDU session;
- selectively establishing the adaptable PDU session in either a non-always-on mode or an always-on mode;
- and
- responsive to establishing the adaptable PDU session in the non-always-on mode, selectively mimicking the always-on mode to maintain the adaptable PDU session during the non-always-on mode.
A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a set of executable instructions, the set of executable instructions to manipulate at least one processor of a user equipment (UE) to:
- determine that a protocol data unit (PDU) session comprises an adaptable PDU session;
- selectively establish the adaptable PDU session in either a non-always-on mode or an always-on mode;
- and
- responsive to the adaptable PDU session being established in the non-always-on mode, selectively mimic the always-on mode to maintain the adaptable PDU session during the non-always-on mode.
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- at least one modem configured to communicate using at least one radio access technology (RAT);
- at least one processor coupled to the at least one modem;
- and
- a memory storing executable instructions configured to manipulate the at least one processor to:
- determine that a protocol data unit (PDU) session comprises an adaptable PDU session;
- selectively establish the adaptable PDU session in either a non-always-on mode or an always-on mode responsive to a current energy mode of the UE;
- and
- responsive to the adaptable PDU session being established in the non-always-on mode, selectively mimic the always-on mode to maintain the adaptable PDU session during the non-always-on mode.
