Abstract
A method and configurations are discussed relative to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) in the form of a multi subscriber identity module (MUSIM). The paging information for the WTRU may be optimized for power consumption. The paging information may be modified to provide one or more of a maximum deep sleeping time duration requirement, a minimum number of power state transitions, and minimum power penalty associated with power state transitions. The modified paging information may set a paging occasion offset windows and a time direction indication associated therewith.
Claims19
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configured to:
- send a message indicating that the WTRU is a multi-subscriber identity module (MUSIM) device to a first network;
- receive information indicating an initial paging occasion associated with the first network;
- send paging assistance information to the first network, the paging assistance information comprising a first offset, a second offset, and a direction indication, wherein the first offset indicates a minimum offset relative the initial paging occasion associated with the first network, the second offset indicates a maximum offset relative to the initial paging occasion associated with the first network, and the direction indication indicates whether the first and second offsets should be applied before or after the initial paging occasion associated with the first network;
- and
- receive information indicating an updated paging occasion associated with the first network.
A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising the steps of:
- sending a message to a first network indicating that the WTRU is a multi-subscriber identity module (MUSIM) device;
- receiving information from the first network indicating an initial paging occasion associated with the first network;
- sending paging assistance information to the first network, the paging assistance information comprising a first offset, a second offset, and a direction indication, wherein the first offset indicates a minimum offset relative the initial paging occasion associated with the first network, the second offset indicates a maximum offset relative to the initial paging occasion associated with the first network, and the direction indication indicates whether the first and second offsets should be applied before or after the initial paging occasion associated with the first network;
- and
- receiving information indicating an updated paging occasion associated with the first network.
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configured to:
- send a message indicating that the WTRU is a multi-subscriber identity module (MUSIM) device to a first network;
- receive information indicating an initial paging occasion associated with the first network;
- receive information indication a paging occasion associated with a second network;
- determine paging assistance information comprising a first offset, a second offset, and a direction indication, wherein the first offset indicates a minimum offset relative the initial paging occasion associated with the first network and paging occasion associated with the second network, the second offset indicates a maximum offset relative to the initial paging occasion associated with the first network, and the direction indication indicates whether the first and second offsets should be applied before or after the initial paging occasion associated with the first network;
- send the determined paging assistance information to the first network, and
- receive information indicating an updated paging occasion based on the paging assistance information.
