Systems and methods for low power consumption in wireless communication systems
First Claim
1. An evolved node B (eNodeB) comprising:
- a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a user equipment (UE);
a processor coupled to the wireless transceiver and configured to;
transmit a connection reconfiguration message to the UE connected to the eNodeB, the connection reconfiguration message configuring the UE to transmit assistance information that includes a power preference indicator;
receive the assistance information from the UE in response to the connection reconfiguration message, wherein the assistance information comprises the power preference indicator for low power and a timer length, wherein the timer length indicates a preferred duration for a low power mode;
transmit, in response to receiving the assistance information, a connection release message to the UE, the connection release message comprising the timer length; and
provide a context release request comprising the low power preference indication and the timer length to a mobility management entity (MME).

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for low power consumption in wireless communication systems are disclosed herein. An evolved node B (eNodeB) is configured to provide a connection reconfiguration message to user equipment (UE) connected to the eNodeB, the connection reconfiguration message configuring the UE to indicate a power preference. The eNodeB receives assistance information from the UE. The assistance information includes a low power preference indication and a timer length, wherein the timer length indicates a preferred duration for a low power mode. The eNodeB provides, in response to receiving the assistance information, a connection release message to the UE. The connection release message includes paging discontinuous reception (DRX) information that includes the timer length.
