Systems, methods, and devices for enhanced power saving for mobile terminated communication

A non-transitory computer readable storage media storing executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• process a request from a user equipment (UE) to use an enhanced power saving mode (ePSM);
• determine configuration parameters for use by the UE in the ePSM, wherein the configuration parameters comprise a time length for an idle mode and a time length for a power saving mode for transitioning directly from the idle mode to the power saving mode, and directly from the power saving mode of the idle mode in a cyclic manner during the ePSM;
• and
• format a message indicating acceptance for the UE to use the ePSM as set forth in the configuration parameters.

A processor comprising logic, the logic comprising:

• a request component configured to format a request to enter an enhanced power saving mode to be sent to a mobile communications network;
• a decode component configured to decode a message from the mobile communications network indicating that the wireless communication device has permission to enter the enhanced power saving mode;
• a cycle component configured to determine parameters for the power saving mode comprising an idle time and a power saving mode time;
• and
• a power mode component configured to cycle between an idle mode and a power saving mode based on the parameters for the power saving mode, wherein the power mode component transitions directly from the idle mode to the power saving mode, and directly from the power saving mode to the idle mode in a cyclic manner during the enhanced power saving mode.
