Apparatus and method for a wireless device to receive data in an eco state
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- sending, by a network node, a message in a unicast manner to a wireless device that is in a state, the message being associated with an impending transmission of data to the wireless device and including scheduling information associated with timing of the transmission of the data, wherein the state is different from an active state; and
transmitting, by the network node, the data to the wireless device that is in the state according to the scheduling information.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for a wireless device to receive data in an eco state is provided. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, upon determining that data is to be transmitted to the wireless device in the eco state, a network node operates to transmit a unicast notification message to the wireless device in order to inform the wireless device of the impending data transmission. According to another embodiment of the disclosure, in response to receiving the unicast notification message, the wireless device operates to receive the data in accordance with the unicast notification message. To this end, the wireless device might for example try to receive data for a time period following the unicast notification message. Meanwhile, the wireless device may remain in the eco state.
