Abstract
Method and apparatus for providing information to a network are disclosed. An eNodeB (eNB) may receive pattern information relating to connection state management behavior of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). The eNB may receive this information over S1 signaling when a connection is established. The eNB may determine a time factor for connection state management, wherein the time factor may be based on the received information. The determine time factor may be used to adjust connection states of the WTRU.
Claims16
A method implemented by a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
- receiving, from a base station via a cellular based radio technology, configuration information in one or more messages, wherein the configuration information indicates:
- a threshold for sending small data while in a dormant mode, and at least one radio bearer associated with the threshold for small data transfer in the dormant mode;
- sending, to the base station via the cellular based radio technology, a random access preamble while the WTRU is operative in the dormant mode;
- receiving, from a base station via the cellular based radio technology, a grant of resources while the WTRU is operative in the dormant mode;
- and
- sending, to the base station via the cellular based radio technology, the small data while the WTRU is operative in the dormant mode, wherein the small data is sent in the grant of resources, wherein the small data is sent using the radio bearer associated with the threshold for small data transfer, wherein the small data includes an amount of data below the data amount threshold.
A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU), the WTRU comprising:
- a processor operatively coupled to a transceiver,
- the processor and transceiver configured to receive, from a base station via a cellular based radio technology, configuration information in one or more messages, wherein the configuration information indicates:
- a threshold for sending small data while in a dormant mode, and at least one radio bearer associated with the threshold for small data transfer in the dormant mode;
- the processor and transceiver configured to send, to the base station via the cellular based radio technology, a random access preamble while the WTRU is operative in the dormant mode;
- the processor and transceiver configured to receive, from a base station via the cellular based radio technology, a grant of resources while the WTRU is operative in the dormant mode;
- and
- the processor and transceiver configured to send, to the base station via the cellular based radio technology, the small data while the WTRU is operative in the dormant mode, wherein the small data is sent in the grant of resources, wherein the small data is sent using the radio bearer associated with the threshold for small data transfer, wherein the small data includes an amount of data equal to or below the threshold.
