Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to cell measurement, cell selection and cell re-selection in wireless communication networks. Performed by a wireless terminal in a wireless network, the method including determining an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle threshold associated with an access stratum function; determining a reference time window; determining whether the eDRX cycle of the wireless terminal is longer than the eDRX cycle threshold; and in response to the eDRX cycle being longer than the eDRX cycle threshold, configuring or performing Access Stratum (AS) related functions of the wireless terminal.
Claims8
A method performed by a wireless terminal in a wireless network, the wireless terminal being configured with an extended DRX (eDRX) cycle, and the method comprising:
- determining an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle threshold associated with an access stratum function;
- determining a reference time window;
- determining whether the eDRX cycle of the wireless terminal is longer than the eDRX cycle threshold;
- and
- in response to the eDRX cycle being longer than the eDRX cycle threshold, configuring or performing Access Stratum (AS) related functions of the wireless terminal via one of following manners:
- manner 1) canceling or prohibiting the AS related functions;
- or
- manner 2) determining a PTW within the reference time window;
- and
- enabling a cell selection function at the beginning of the determined PTW.
A wireless terminal comprising a memory for storing computer instructions and a processor in communication with the memory, wherein, when the processor executes the computer instructions, the processor is configured to cause the wireless terminal to:
- determine an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle threshold associated with an access stratum function;
- determine a reference time window;
- determine whether the eDRX cycle of the wireless terminal is longer than the eDRX cycle threshold;
- and
- in response to the eDRX cycle being longer than the eDRX cycle threshold, configure or perform Access Stratum (AS) related functions of the wireless terminal via one of following manners:
- manner 1) canceling or prohibiting the AS related functions;
- or
- manner 2) determining a PTW within the reference time window;
- and
- enabling a cell selection function at the beginning of the determined PTW.
