Abstract
Methods and devices that support multiple user equipment (UE) state configurations in a wireless network are provided. A state configuration is selected for a UE from among a plurality of candidate state configurations. Each candidate state configuration is associated with a respective set of one or more predefined operating states from among a plurality of predefined operating states. Information regarding the selected state configuration is then transmitted to the UE.

A method for supporting multiple user equipment (UE) state configurations in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the network device, information to a UE regarding a state configuration, wherein the state configuration is from among a plurality of candidate state configurations, each candidate state configuration being associated with a respective one or more predefined operating states, the plurality of candidate state configurations comprising at least a first state configuration associated with a first plurality of predefined operating states and a second state configuration associated with less than all of the predefined operating states of the first plurality of predefined operating states.
An apparatus comprising:
- a wireless interface;
- a processor operatively coupled to the wireless interface;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium operatively coupled to the processor, the computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming comprising instructions to:
- transmit, via the wireless interface, information to a user equipment (UE) regarding a state configuration, wherein the state configuration is from among a plurality of candidate state configurations, each candidate state configuration being associated with a respective one or more predefined operating states, the plurality of candidate state configurations comprising at least a first state configuration associated with a first plurality of predefined operating states and a second state configuration associated with less than all of the predefined operating states of the first plurality of predefined operating states.
A method for supporting multiple UE state configurations in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a user equipment (UE), from the wireless network, information regarding a state configuration from among a plurality of candidate state configurations, each candidate state configuration being associated with a respective one or more predefined operating states, the plurality of candidate state configurations comprising at least a first state configuration associated with a first plurality of predefined operating states and a second candidate state configuration associated with less than all of the predefined operating states of the first plurality of predefined operating states;
- and
- communicating, by the UE, with the wireless network in accordance with the state configuration.
An apparatus comprising:
- a wireless interface;
- a processor operatively coupled to the wireless interface;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium operatively coupled to the processor, the computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming comprising instructions to:
- receive, via the wireless interface, from a wireless network, information regarding a state configuration from among a plurality of candidate state configurations, each candidate state configuration being associated with a respective one or more predefined operating states, the plurality of candidate state configurations comprising at least a first state configuration associated with a first plurality of predefined operating states and a second state configuration associated with less than all of the predefined operating states of the first plurality of predefined operating states;
- and
- communicate with the wireless network in accordance with the state configuration.
