Abstract
Disclosed is a method for mobile assisted sleep mode to reduce current drain in packet based mobile systems. The method comprising the step of receiving (102) from a network a channel condition threshold. Then, monitoring (104) a channel condition while in sleep mode. Then exiting (110) sleep mode in response to the determination (108) that the monitored channel condition is greater than the channel condition threshold.
Claims19
A method for aperiodic mobile assisted sleep mode comprising:
- receiving from a network a channel condition threshold;
- monitoring a channel condition while in a sleep mode;
- and
- exiting the sleep mode in response to a determination that the monitored channel condition is greater than the channel condition threshold.
A method for mobile assisted sleep mode comprising:
- determining a channel condition of a communication channel while the mobile station is in a sleep mode;
- setting a sleep cycle to a first sleep cycle value when the determined channel condition is a first channel condition;
- and
- setting a sleep cycle to a second sleep cycle value when the determined channel condition value is a second channel condition.
The method of claim, 14 receiving a first DRX cycle indicator and a second DRX cycle indicator from the network.
A method for reducing current drain in a wireless communication device comprising:
- receiving from the network a channel condition threshold;
- receiving an indication of pending data indication;
- entering sleep mode and monitoring a channel condition;
- determining that the channel condition is below the channel condition threshold;
- waiting to exit sleep mode and send an awake indicator to the network until the channel condition is greater than the channel condition threshold.
