Claims20
An apparatus that performs wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions stored thereon that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- waking up to monitor a power savings signal in a monitoring occasion prior to an OnDuration of a discontinuous reception cycle on a first cell;
- detecting the power savings signal in the monitoring occasion;
- based on the power savings signal, determining whether to monitor a subsequent OnDuration, wherein the determining comprises:
- when the power savings signal comprises an indication to wake-up, monitoring the subsequent OnDuration on the first cell,
- when the power savings signal comprises an indication to sleep, not monitoring the subsequent OnDuration on the first cell;
- and
- determining, based on a command received on the first cell, a behavior to activate, deactivate, wake-up, or sleep on a second cell monitored by the apparatus.
A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:
- waking up, by an apparatus, to monitor a power savings signal in a radio resource control-configured monitoring occasion prior to an OnDuration of a discontinuous reception cycle on a first cell;
- detecting the power savings signal in the monitoring occasion;
- based on the power savings signal, determining whether to monitor a subsequent OnDuration, wherein the determining comprises:
- when the power savings signal comprises an indication to wake-up, monitoring the subsequent OnDuration on the first cell,
- when the power savings signal comprises an indication to sleep, not monitoring the subsequent OnDuration on the first cell;
- and
- determining, based on a command received on the first cell, a behavior to activate, deactivate, wake-up, or sleep on a second cell monitored by the apparatus.
A computer-readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
- waking up to monitor a power savings signal in a radio resource control-configured monitoring occasion prior to an OnDuration of a discontinuous reception cycle on a first cell;
- detecting the power savings signal in the monitoring occasion;
- based on the power savings signal, determining whether to monitor a subsequent OnDuration, wherein the determining comprises:
- when the power savings signal comprises an indication to wake-up, monitoring the subsequent OnDuration on the first cell,
- when the power savings signal comprises an indication to sleep, not monitoring the subsequent OnDuration on the first cell;
- and
- determining, based on a command received on the first cell, a behavior to activate, deactivate, wake-up, or sleep on a second cell.
