Title: Scheduled Discontinuous Reception in a Mobile Device
Inventor: HANEJI HAYATO
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2012-11-27
Abstract: A mobile radio communications device can operate in a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) power saving mode. To prevent loss of network signalling during periods where the mobile device receiver is powered off, a schedule of planned DRX signalling is defined. The planned DRX schedule defines times a mobile device will be awake and allows a network device to plan its signalling accordingly. A mobile device may contain more than one application, each with its own DRX schedule. Further the mobile device can merge each DRX schedule into a single schedule which can be communicated over the network to a network device. The above procedure can be applied to Machine Type Communication (MTC) devices.
