Communication of preferred power consumption configurations
First Claim
1. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) operable to communicate a power preference indication (PPI) message, the apparatus comprising computer circuitry configured to:
- receive PPI configuration information, from an evolved node B (eNB), wherein the PPI configuration information includes a predetermined threshold for a number of PPI messages that the UE can communicate to the eNB during a defined time window after indicating a low power consumption configuration;
communicate a plurality of PPI messages after indicating the low power consumption configuration to the eNB during the defined time window, wherein the plurality of PPI messages each indicate a change in preferred power consumption configuration;
detect that the plurality of PPI messages exceeds the predetermined threshold for the number of PPI messages that the UE can communicate to the eNB during the defined time window as defined in the PPI configuration information; and
initiate a threshold timer in response to the plurality of PPI messages exceeding the predetermined threshold to restrict additional PPI messages from being communicated to the eNB until expiration of the threshold timer.

Abstract
Technology for communicating power preference indication (PPI) message is described. A user equipment (UE) may receive PPI configuration information, from an evolved node B (eNB), wherein the PPI configuration information includes a predetermined threshold for a number of PPI messages that the UE can communicate to the eNB during a defined time window. The UE may communicate a plurality of PPI messages after sending a low power consumption configuration to the eNB during the defined time window, wherein the plurality of PPI messages each indicate a change in preferred power consumption configuration. The UE may detect that the plurality of PPI messages exceeds the predetermined threshold for the number of PPI messages that the UE can communicate to the eNB during the defined time window as defined in the PPI configuration information. The UE may initiate a threshold timer in response to the plurality of PPI messages exceeding the predetermined threshold to restrict additional PPI messages from being communicated to the eNB until expiration of the threshold timer.

10. A method for communicating power preference indication (PPI) messages, the method comprising:
-
communicating PPI configuration information, from a node to a user equipment (UE), wherein the PPI configuration information includes a predetermined threshold for a number of PPI messages that the UE can communicate to the node during a defined time window when the UE is in a low power consumption configuration; receiving a plurality of PPI messages during the defined time window following receipt of a PPI message indicating the low power consumption configuration, from the UE, wherein the plurality of PPI messages each indicate a change in preferred power consumption configuration; and receiving additional PPI messages, from the UE, after expiration of a threshold timer initiated at the UE in response to the UE detecting that the plurality of PPI messages communicated to the node exceeded the predetermined threshold during the defined time window. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
