Abstract
A method (2300) performed by a first network node (901) for coordinating with a second network node (902) with respect to a user equipment, UE, energy state assistance information, UE-ESAI, configuration for a UE (900) or a group of UEs currently being served by the first network node. The method includes generating (s2302) a first coordination message. The method also includes transmitting (s2304) the first coordination message to the second network node. The first coordination message comprises information related to configuring the UE or the group of UEs to store and/or report UE-ESAI, and the UE-ESAI comprises a measured or estimated first energy metric.

A method performed by a first network node for coordinating with a second network node with respect to a user equipment (UE) energy state assistance information (UE-ESAI) configuration for a UE or a group of UEs currently being served by the first network node, the method comprising:
- generating a first coordination message;
- and
- transmitting the first coordination message to the second network node, the first coordination message comprising information related to configuring the UE or the group of UEs to store and/or report UE-ESAI,
- the UE-ESAI comprising a measured or estimated first energy metric, and
- the UE-ESAI configuration causing the UE to send a second UE-ESAI message comprising a first UE-ESAI report to the first network node or to the second network node, the first UE-ESAI report comprising one or more of:
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the first network node;
- and/or
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the second network node.
A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for reporting UE energy state assistance information (UE-ESAI) the method comprising:
- receiving a first UE-ESAI message transmitted by a first network node, the first UE-ESAI message comprising a UE-ESAI configuration for configuring the UE to store and/or report UE-ESAI to the first network node and/or to a second network node,
- the UE-ESAI comprising a measured or estimated energy metric, and
- the UE-ESAI configuration causing the UE to send a second UE-ESAI message comprising a first UE-ESAI report to the first network node or to the second network node, the first UE-ESAI report comprising:
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the first network node, and/or
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the second network node.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program comprising instructions which when executed by processing circuitry of a first network node causes the first network node to:
- generate a first coordination message;
- and
- transmit the first coordination message to the second network node,
- the first coordination message comprising information related to configuring the UE or the group of UEs to store and/or report UE-ESAI,
- the UE-ESAI comprising a measured or estimated first energy metric, and
- the UE-ESAI configuration causing the UE to send a second UE-ESAI message comprising a first UE-ESAI report to the first network node or to the second network node, the first UE-ESAI report comprising:
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the first network node, and/or
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the second network node.
A first network node apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- generate a first coordination message;
- and
- transmit the first coordination message to the second network node,
- the first coordination message comprising information related to configuring the UE or the group of UEs to store and/or report UE-ESAI,
- the UE-ESAI comprising a measured or estimated first energy metric, and
- the UE-ESAI configuration causing the UE to send a second UE-ESAI message comprising a first UE-ESAI report to the first network node or to the second network node, the first UE-ESAI report comprising:
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the first network node, and/or
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the second network node.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program comprising instructions which when executed by processing circuitry of a UE causes the UE to:
- receive a first UE-ESAI message transmitted by a first network node, the first UE-ESAI message comprising a UE-ESAI configuration for configuring the UE to store and/or report UE-ESAI to the first network node and/or to a second network node,
- the UE-ESAI comprising a measured or estimated energy metric, and
- the UE-ESAI configuration causing the UE to send a second UE-ESAI message comprising a first UE-ESAI report to the first network node or to the second network node, the first UE-ESAI report comprising:
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the first network node, and/or
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the second network node.
A user equipment (UE) comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- receive a first UE-ESAI message transmitted by a first network node, the first UE-ESAI message comprising a UE-ESAI configuration for configuring the UE to store and/or report UE-ESAI to the first network node and/or to a second network node,
- the UE-ESAI comprising a measured or estimated energy metric, and
- the UE-ESAI configuration causing the UE to send a second UE-ESAI message comprising a first UE-ESAI report to the first network node or to the second network node, the first UE-ESAI report comprising:
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the first network node, and/or
- UE-ESAI associated with a period of time during which the UE was connected with the second network node.
