Abstract
Various solutions for cell reselection for network energy saving with respect to user equipment and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may receive a network energy saving assistant information (NESAI) from a network node. The NESAI may comprise a cell barred field or a cell reservation field for network energy saving (NWES) configured to differentiate between non-NES user equipments (UEs) and NES-capable UEs. The apparatus may perform a cell reselection for a network energy saving (NES) cell based on the NESAI.
Claims17
A method of ultrafast cell selection, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of an apparatus, a network energy saving assistant information (NESAI) from a network node via a system information block (SIB), wherein the NESAI comprises a cell barred field or a cell reservation field for network energy saving (NWES) configured to differentiate between non-NES user equipments (UEs) and NES-capable UEs, and wherein the NESAI further comprises a paging early indication (PEI) to indicate a last paging indication;
- and
- performing, by the processor, a cell reselection for a network energy saving (NES) cell based on the NESAI.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver which, during operation, wirelessly communicates with at least one network node;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver such that, during operation, the processor performs operations comprising:
- receiving, via the transceiver, a network energy saving assistant information (NESAI) from the network node via a system information block (SIB), wherein the NESAI comprises a cell barred field or a cell reservation field for network energy saving (NWES) configured to differentiate between non-NES user equipments (UEs) and NES-capable UEs, and wherein the NESAI further comprises a paging early indication (PEI) to indicate a last paging indication;
- and
- performing a cell reselection for a network energy saving (NES) cell based on the NESAI.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a processor of a network node, a network energy saving assistant information (NESAI), wherein the NESAI comprises a cell barred field or a cell reservation field for network energy saving (NWES) configured to differentiate between non-NES user equipments (UEs) and NES-capable UEs, and wherein the NESAI further comprises a paging early indication (PEI) to indicate a last paging indication;
- and
- transmitting, by the processor, the NESAI to a user equipment (UE) via a system information block (SIB).
