Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting Radio Link Monitoring (RLM), Radio Link Failure (RLF) detection, RLF recovery, and/or connection establishment failure detection for wireless devices ( 16 ) in a cellular communications network ( 10 ) depending on mode of operation. In one embodiment, a node ( 14, 16 ) in the cellular communications network ( 10 ) determines whether a wireless device ( 16 ) (e.g., a Machine Type Communication (MTC) device) is to operate in a long range extension mode of operation or a normal mode of operation. The node ( 14, 16 ) then applies different values for at least one parameter depending on whether the wireless device ( 16 ) is to operate in the long range extension mode or the normal mode. The at least one parameter includes one or more RLM parameters, one or more RLF detection parameters, and/or one or more RLF recovery parameters. In doing do, signaling overhead and energy consumption within the wireless device ( 16 ) when operating in the long range extension mode is substantially reduced.

Claim (Index 18):
A wireless device for operation in a cellular communications network, comprising:\n a wireless interface; and one or more control and processing circuits associated with the wireless interface and configured to:\n determine whether the wireless device is to operate in a long range extension mode or a normal mode where the long range extension mode is a mode of operation in which the wireless device is configured to maintain communication with a base station of the cellular communications network over an coverage extended range as compared to a coverage range over which the wireless device is configured to maintain communication with the base station of the cellular communications network in the normal mode of operation; and \n apply different values for at least one parameter utilized by the wireless device for radio link monitoring depending on whether the wireless device is to operate in the long range extension mode or the normal mode, wherein: \n the wireless device determines that it is to operate in the long range extension mode in response to a request from the cellular communications network; and \n being configured to apply the different values comprises being configured to apply, for each parameter of the at least one parameter, a modified value for the long range extension mode that is different than that which would be applied for the normal mode of operation.
