Abstract
To manage a preferred configuration indicative of a maximum allocation preferred by the UE for at least one resource, a UE transmits (802A) the preferred configuration to a RAN, transitions (804A) to a state in which a radio connection between the UE and the RAN is suspended, and releases (806A) the preferred configuration, prior to communicating data over the radio connection.
Claims20
A method performed by a master node (MN) for managing a configuration of a UE when the UE operates in dual connectivity (DC) with the MN and a source secondary node (SN), the method comprising:
- receiving, by the MN and from the source SN or the UE, a UE assistance information message that includes a preferred configuration for power saving, which indicates of a maximum allocation preferred by the UE for at least one resource;
- determining, by the MN, to initiate a procedure that causes the UE to change from the source SN to a target SN;
- and
- in response to the determining, sending, by the MN and to the target SN, the preferred power saving configuration.
A method performed by a source secondary node (SN) for managing a configuration of a UE when the UE operates in dual connectivity (DC) with a master node (MN) and the source SN, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the source SN and from the UE, a preferred configuration for power saving, the preferred power saving configuration indicative of a maximum allocation preferred by the UE for at least one resource;
- and
- transmitting, by the source SN and to a target SN via the MN, a UE assistance information message including the preferred power saving configuration after the MN initiates a procedure that causes the UE to change from the source SN to the target SN.
