Abstract
There is provided an apparatus, method and computer program for causing an apparatus for a serving network access node serving a user equipment to perform: signalling, to the user equipment when the user equipment is in an energy saving mode, an early paging indication and first reconfiguration information, the first reconfiguration information comprising a first configuration for configuring the user equipment to perform first measurements for a plurality of cells.
Claims20
A user equipment, the user equipment comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the user equipment at least to:
- receive, from a serving network access node when the user equipment is in an energy saving mode, an early paging indication and a first configuration for configuring the user equipment for performing measurements for a plurality of cells;
- perform first measurements according to the first configuration when the user equipment is in the energy saving mode;
- and
- depending on the first measurements, identify and perform at least one action;
- wherein the identifying and performing at least one action comprises causing the first measurements to be reported by:
- receiving, from the serving network access node when the user equipment is in an energy saving mode, a paging message after receiving the early paging indication;
- signalling, to the serving network access node, an indication that the first measurements are available or an indication that measurement values previously signalled to the network access node are valid;
- transitioning to the connected mode after signalling said indication that the first measurements are available or the indication that measurement values previously signalled to the network access node are valid;
- and
- after said transitioning to the connected mode, signalling the first measurements to the serving network access node.
A serving network access node serving a user equipment, the serving network access node comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the access node at least to:
- signal, to the user equipment when the user equipment is in an energy saving mode, an early paging indication and a first configuration for configuring the user equipment to perform first measurements for a plurality of cells;
- signal, to the user equipment when the user equipment is in an energy saving mode, a paging message after signaling the early paging indication;
- receive, from the user equipment, signaling of an indication that the first measurements are available or an indication that measurement values previously signalled to the serving network access node are valid;
- and
- receive, from the user equipment when the user equipment is in a connected mode, the first measurements made in accordance with the first configuration.
A method for a user equipment, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a serving network access node when the user equipment is in an energy saving mode, an early paging indication and a first configuration for configuring the user equipment for performing measurements for a plurality of cells;
- performing first measurements according to the first configuration when the user equipment is in the energy saving mode;
- and
- depending on the first measurements, identifying and performing at least one action;
- wherein the identifying and performing at least one action comprises causing the first measurements to be reported by:
- receiving, from the serving network access node when the user equipment is in an energy saving mode, a paging message after receiving the early paging indication;
- signalling, to the serving network access node, an indication that the first measurements are available or an indication that measurement values previously signalled to the network access node are valid;
- transitioning to the connected mode after signalling said indication that the first measurements are available or the indication that measurement values previously signalled to the network access node are valid;
- and
- after said transitioning to the connected mode, signalling the first measurements to the serving network access node.
A method for a serving network access node serving a user equipment, the method comprising:
- signalling, to the user equipment when the user equipment is in an energy saving mode, an early paging indication and a first configuration for configuring the user equipment to perform first measurements for a plurality of cells;
- signalling, to the user equipment when the user equipment is in an energy saving mode, a paging message after signaling the early paging indication;
- receiving, from the user equipment, signaling of an indication that the first measurements are available or an indication that measurement values previously signalled to the serving network access node are valid;
- and
- receiving, from the user equipment when the user equipment is in a connected mode, the first measurements made in accordance with the first configuration.
