Abstract
A base station may include a processor configured to configure a default time period for periodic service requests for discontinuous reception (DRX) for user equipment (UE) devices serviced by the base station. The processor may be further configured to obtain a signal quality value for a UE device serviced by the base station; determine that the obtained signal quality value is less than a low signal quality threshold; and configure a longer time period for the periodic service requests for DRX for the UE device, in response to determining that the obtained signal quality value is less than the low signal quality threshold.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- configuring, by a base station, a default time period for a periodic service requests for discontinuous reception (DRX) for user equipment (UE) devices serviced by the base station;
- obtaining, by the base station, a signal quality value for a UE device serviced by the base station;
- determining, by the base station, that the obtained signal quality value is less than a low signal quality threshold;
- and
- configuring, by the base station, a longer time period for the periodic service requests for DRX for the UE device, in response to determining that the obtained signal quality value is less than the low signal quality threshold.
A device comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- configure a default time period for a periodic service requests for discontinuous reception (DRX) for user equipment (UE) devices serviced by a base station;
- obtain a signal quality value for a UE device serviced by the base station;
- determine that the obtained signal quality value is less than a low signal quality threshold;
- and
- configure a longer time period for the periodic service requests for DRX for the UE device, in response to determining that the obtained signal quality value is less than the low signal quality threshold.
A non-transitory computer-readable memory device storing instructions executable by a processor, the not-transitory computer-readable memory device comprising:
- one or more instructions to configure a default time period for periodic service requests for discontinuous reception (DRX) for user equipment (UE) devices serviced by the base station;
- one or more instructions to obtain a signal quality value for a UE device serviced by the base station;
- one or more instructions to determine that the obtained signal quality value is less than a low signal quality threshold;
- and
- one or more instructions to configure a longer time period for the periodic service requests for DRX for the UE device, in response to determining that the obtained signal quality value is less than the low signal quality threshold.
