Method and apparatus for enhanced adaptive idle mode and battery efficiency monitoring
First Claim
1. A method of managing the paging cycle of a communication device comprising:
- receiving, from a communication device at an element of a communication system, at least one message comprising an idle mode request, a battery charge level of a battery of the communication device, and a desired paging information from the communication device;
determining, at the element of the communication system, a paging information for the communication device based on the battery charge level; and
transmitting, by the element of the communication system, a response message comprising the determined paging information to the communication device.

Abstract
A method and apparatus to manage the paging cycle of a communication device are disclosed. The method includes receiving, by an element of a communication system, at least one message comprising an idle mode request, a battery charge level of a battery of the communication device, and a desired paging information from the communication device, from the communication device, determining a paging information for the communication device based on the battery charge level by selecting a first paging cycle when the battery charge level meets a charge level criteria and selecting a second paging cycle when the battery charge levels does not meet the charge level criteria, the second paging cycle being longer than the first paging cycle, and transmitting a response message comprising the determined paging information to the communication device.

12. An element of a communication system comprising:
-
a communication interface configured to communicate with a communication device; and a processing unit, coupled to the communication interface, configured to; receive from the communication device at least one message comprising an idle mode request and a desired paging information from the communication device; determine a paging information for the communication device based on a battery charge level of the communication device; and transmitting through the communication interface a response message comprising the determined paging information to the communication device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
