Patent ID: 10499365

Abstract:
A paging decoding method in a wireless communication device adapted to operate in association with a primary cell provided by a network node of a cellular communication system, wherein the primary cell has one or more neighboring cells is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a paging signal during a paging occasion, temporarily storing the received paging signal, attempting to decode the received paging signal based on one or more parameters of the primary cell, and (if decoding of the received paging signal based on one or more parameters of the primary cell is un-successful) attempting to decode the temporarily stored received paging signal based on parameters of one of the neighboring cells. In some embodiments, the method may further comprise selecting the one of the neighboring cells based on one or more of respective received signal strengths of the neighboring cells and respective received signal powers of the neighboring cells after receiving the paging signal during the paging occasion. Corresponding computer program product, arrangement and wireless communication device are also disclosed.
