Abstract:
1. A method of providing signaling for a wireless communication node, the method comprising: obtaining, at first user equipment (UE), first information associated with a first node of a first radio access technology (RAT) network that uses a first RAT, wherein the first information comprises at least one of the group consisting of synchronization information indicating a discontinuous transmission schedule of the first node and synchronization information indicating a discontinuous reception schedule of the first node, the first UE being configured for wireless telecommunication; sending, in response to obtaining the first information, second information from the first UE to a second node of a second RAT network that uses a second RAT, wherein the second information comprises at least one of the group consisting of an indication of a discontinuous transmission schedule of the first node and an indication of a discontinuous reception schedule of the first node, wherein the second RAT is different from the first RAT, and wherein the first and second node operate on a discontinuous transmission schedule, a discontinuous reception schedule, or both, and wherein the second information is sent to the second node by the first UE using the second RAT, without a backhaul connection between the first RAT and the second RAT being used; and wherein obtaining the first information comprises receiving a power status change request for the second node to turn on or off a transmitter of the second node, and wherein the power status change request for the second node is received from the first node in response to a trigger at the first node.
