Method and apparatus for state/mode transitioning
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method performed by a network element to control a radio resource control (RRC) configuration of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving at the network element, a preference indication from the UE to transition to a more battery efficient RRC configuration;
determining at least one radio resource parameter associated with the UE; and
determining whether to adjust the RRC configuration of the UE based upon the received preference indication and the at least one determined radio resource parameter, and not to adjust the RRC configuration of the UE if more than a predetermined number of preference indications are received during a predetermined time period.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for transitioning states or modes on a user equipment, the method having the steps of receiving, at a network element, a transition indication; checking a radio resource profile for the user equipment; and making a transitioning decision at the network element based on the received transition indication and the radio resource profile.

10. A network element to control a radio resource control (RRC) configuration of a user equipment (UE) comprising at least one processor, the at least one processor configured to:
-
receive a preference indication from the UE indicating a preference to transition to a more battery efficient RRC configuration; determine at least one radio resource parameter associated with the UE; and determine whether to adjust the RRC configuration of the UE based upon the received preference indication and the at least one determined radio resource parameter, and not to adjust the RRC configuration of the UE if more than a predetermined number of preference indications are received during a predetermined time period. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
