Patent ID: 10021716

Abstract:
A method (200) for solving conflicts in scheduling cell broadcast (CB) message reception and idle mode tasks of a mobile device includes: receiving (201) first information indicating a scheduling of a cell broadcast (CB) message (611, 612, 613, 614) reception during a discontinuous reception (DRX) phase of the mobile device; receiving (202) second information indicating a scheduling of an idle mode task (609) during the DRX phase; detecting (203) if a conflict exists in the scheduling of the CB message (611, 612, 613, 614) reception and the scheduling of the idle mode task (609) based on the first and second information (201, 201); and if a conflict (629) is detected (204): rearranging (205) the scheduling of the idle mode task (609) and the scheduling of the CB message (611, 612, 613, 614) reception to solve the conflict.
