METHOD, NODE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR RESET OF TIMERS
First Claim
1. A method in a client node in a communications system for resetting of timer units, the client node comprising at least two timer units, the method comprising:
- for each of the timer units;
detecting the timer unit by a timer handling unit,registrating the detected timer unit in a timer inventory by the timer handling unit,the method further comprising;
determining by the timer handling unit which of the at least two timer units that expires first,determining a time T when the determined timer unit at the latest will be reset, and prior to the timer expiring,resetting at least one of the other timer units with a new reset time based on the time T, thereby enabling longer radio and CPU sleep periods of the client node between reset of timer units.

Abstract
A method, node and computer program for a client node (100) in a communications system for resetting of timer units, the client node comprising at least two timer units, the method comprising: for each of the timer units: detecting (S100) the timer unit (130) by a timer handling unit (110), registrating (S110) the detected timer unit (130) in a timer inventory (140) by the timer handling unit (110), the method further comprising: determining (S120) by the timer handling unit (110) which of the at least two timer units that expires first, determining (S130) a time T when the determined timer unit at the latest will be reset,and prior to the timer expiring, resetting (S140) at least one of the other timer units (130) with a new reset time based on the time T, thereby enabling longer radio and CPU sleep periods of the client node between reset of timer units.

9. A client node in a communications system configured to reset timer units, the client node comprising at least two timer units, the node comprising:
-
the client node is for each of the timer units; configured to detect the timer unit by a timer handling unit, configured to register the detected timer units in a timer inventory by the timer handling unit the node is further; configured to determine by the timer handling unit which of the at least two timer units that expires first, configured to determine by the timer handling unit a time T when the determined timer unit at the latest will be reset, and prior to the timer expiring, configured to reset at least one of the other timer units with a new reset time based on the time T by the timer handling unit, thereby enabling longer radio and CPU sleep periods of the client node between reset of timer units. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
