Abstract
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method comprises determining a sleep cycle comprising a number of discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles at a user equipment (UE) based at least on one of a current available power level, a call setup delay interval, and a quality of a received paging indicator channel (PICH) signal; entering a power saving mode during the determined sleep cycle at the user equipment (UE) upon an occurrence of a triggering event; and waking up from the power saving mode and checking for an active call after an occurrence of a second triggering event.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining a sleep cycle comprising a number of discontinuous reception cycles at a user equipment based at least on one of a current available battery power level, a call setup delay interval, and a quality of a received paging indicator channel signal;
- entering a power saving mode during the determined sleep cycle at the user equipment upon an occurrence of a triggering event;
- and
- waking up from the power saving mode and checking for an active call after an occurrence of a second triggering event.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
- determine a sleep cycle comprising a number of discontinuous reception cycles at a user equipment based at least on one of a current available battery power level, a call setup delay interval, and a quality of a received paging indicator channel signal;
- enter a power saving mode during the determined sleep cycle at the user equipment upon an occurrence of a triggering event;
- and
- wake up from the power saving mode and checking for an active call after an occurrence of a second triggering event.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium carrying one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
- determining a sleep cycle comprising a number of discontinuous reception cycles at a user equipment based at least on one of a current available battery power level, a call setup delay interval, and a quality of a received paging indicator channel signal;
- entering a power saving mode during the determined sleep cycle at the user equipment upon an occurrence of a triggering event;
- and
- waking up from the power saving mode and checking for an active call after an occurrence of a second triggering event.
