Abstract
A device may determine that a transmission of network traffic, associated with a wireless device, is complete. The transmission of network traffic may be between the wireless device and a base station associated with a network. The device may transmit a request to disconnect from the network based on determining that the transmission of network traffic is complete. The device may transfer the wireless device to the power saving mode based on receiving a response, to the request, that grants permission to disconnect from the network. The power saving mode being associated with one or more components of the wireless device being shut down.
Claims21
A device, comprising:
- one or more processors to:
- determine that a transmission of network traffic, associated with a wireless device, is complete,
- the transmission of network traffic being between the wireless device and a base station associated with a network,
- transmit a request to disconnect the wireless device from the network based on determining that the transmission of network traffic is complete;
- and
- transfer the wireless device to a power saving mode based on receiving a response, to the request, that grants permission to disconnect from the network without requiring a threshold period of inactivity time to expire,
- the power saving mode being associated with one or more components of the wireless device being shut down.
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- determine that a transmission of network traffic from a wireless device is complete,
- the transmission of network traffic being between the wireless device and a base station;
- cause the wireless device to be disconnected from a network associated with the base station to enter a power saving mode based on determining that the transmission of network traffic is complete;
- and
- cause the wireless device to shut down one or more components to enter the power saving mode based on determining that the transmission of network traffic is complete and without requiring a threshold period of inactivity time to expire,
- the wireless device causing the one or more components of the wireless device to be shut down.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a device, that a transmission of network traffic is complete,
- the transmission of network traffic being between a wireless device and a base station,
- the network traffic including data relating to the wireless device;
- transmitting, by the device, a request to disconnect the wireless device from a network based on determining that the transmission of network traffic is complete,
- the wireless device not being in a power saving mode;
- and
- transferring, by the device, the wireless device to the power saving mode based on receiving a response, to the request, that grants permission to disconnect from the network,
- the power saving mode being associated with one or more components of the wireless device being shut down,
- the wireless device being transferred to the power saving mode without requiring a threshold period of inactivity time to expire.
