MOBILITY INDICATOR FOR UE TRANSMISSION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method by a mobile node in a wireless network, the method comprising:
- receiving an indicator related to mobility of the mobile node;
transmitting an indication of a no-mobility status of the mobile node to the wireless network, the no-mobility status being based on the indicator, the indication of the no-mobility status including indication of a charging status of the mobile node; and
receiving a notification, transmitted from a scheduler of the wireless network, that the mobile node has been selected to function as a relay, the selection being made by the scheduler based on a combination of the no-mobility status and the charging status of the mobile node.

Abstract
Methods and systems for determining a no-mobility status for a user equipment (UE) in a wireless network. The UE may receive an indicator related to mobility of the UE, and determine, from the received indicator, that the UE has a no-mobility status. The UE may transmit an indication of its no-mobility status to the wireless network. The no-mobility status may be used by the network to select a UE to serve as a UE-to-UE relay (UUR).

12. A method by a network entity managing a plurality of mobile nodes in a wireless network, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from at least one mobile node in the plurality, a no-mobility indication associated with the respective mobile node, the no-mobility indication including an indication of a charging status of the respective mobile node; and transmitting a list of nodes to a scheduler for selecting a mobile node to function as a relay, the list identifying one or more mobile nodes of the plurality, each node identified in the list being associated with a no-mobility indication and an indication of charging status that, in combination, indicate suitability of the node to function as the relay. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)

16. A mobile device comprising:
-
a memory for storing instructions; and a processor configured to execute the stored instructions to cause the mobile device to; receive an indicator related to mobility of the mobile device; transmit a no-mobility indication over an air interface towards a network node of a wireless network, the no-mobility indication being based on the received indicator, the no-mobility indication including indication of a no-mobility status and a charging status of the mobile device; and receiving a notification, transmitted from a scheduler of the wireless network, that the no-mobility status of the mobile device has been selected to function as a relay, the selection being made by the scheduler based on a combination of the no-mobility status and the charging status of the mobile node. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23)
