Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for increasing the waiting time of a User Equipment (UE) through an efficient processing of assigned slots. The method includes processing a first 10 ms half frame of the assigned slot initially when the assigned slot is processed, identifying a general page message located in the first half frame, and performing a transition operation into a sleep state, when the general page message corresponds to a null general page message having no paging information and no control information to be updated.
Claims7
A method for increasing a waiting time of a User Equipment (UE) through efficient processing of an assigned slot in a mobile communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining whether a frame corresponds to a first frame in an assigned slot;
- when the frame of the assigned slot is the first frame:
- processing only a half of a frame of the assigned slot when the frame corresponds to a first frame;
- identifying a general page message located in the half of the first frame;
- and
- performing a transition operation of the UE into a sleep state, when the general page message has no paging information and no control information to be updated;
- and
- when the frame of the assigned slot is not the first frame, processing a full frame.
An apparatus for increasing a waiting time of a User Equipment (UE) through efficient processing of an assigned slot in a mobile communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a sleep driver for interleaving and decoding a received signal, and driving a sleep state;
- a data output controller for determining whether a frame corresponds to a first frame in an assigned slot, and controlling the sleep driver to output only a half frame when the frame corresponds to the first frame and to output full frames following the half frame;
- and
- a sleep state controller for receiving data of the half frame, checking a field of a general page message, and determining whether to enter the sleep state.
