Radio access network node and method performed therein
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, performed in a radio access network node serving a cell in a wireless communication network, for enabling communication between a wireless device and the radio access network node;
- the method comprising;
determining an uplink or downlink scheduling availability for data packets for the wireless device in the cell; and
configuring the wireless device to be sufficiently active within an interval to have a transmission opportunity by setting a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration for the wireless device taking into account the uplink or downlink scheduling availability for the data packets for the wireless device in the cell;
wherein the setting the DRX configuration comprises;
offsetting the DRX configuration adjusted in time so that a wake period overlaps a subframe for scheduling uplink or downlink resources for the data packets for the wireless device; and
thereafter, based on a load in the cell;
adjusting the wake period of the DRX configuration for the wireless device; and
/ordisabling the DRX configuration for the wireless device.

Abstract
A method performed in a radio access network node (12) for enabling communication between a wireless device (10) and the radio access network node (12) serving a cell (11) in a wireless communication network (1). The radio access network node (12) sets a discontinuous reception, DRX, configuration for the wireless device (10) taking an Uplink or Downlink scheduling availability for the wireless device (10) in the cell (11) into account.

9. A radio access network node serving a cell in a wireless communication network, the radio access network node enabling communication between a wireless device and the radio access network node;
- the radio access network node comprising;
processing circuitry; memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the processing circuitry is operative to; determine an uplink or downlink scheduling availability for data packets for the wireless device in the cell; and configure the wireless device to be sufficiently active within an interval to have a transmission opportunity by setting a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration for the wireless device taking into account the uplink or downlink scheduling availability for the data packets for the wireless device in the cell; wherein the instructions are such that the radio access network node is operative to; offset the DRX configuration adjusted in time for a wake period to overlap a subframe for scheduling uplink or downlink resources for the data packets for the wireless device; and based on a load in the cell, adjust the wake period of the DRX configuration for the wireless device, and/or to disable the DRX configuration for the wireless device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
