Semi-persistent resource allocation of small packet transmission
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving an allocation of at least one semi-persistent resource for a time when a device is in an idle state; and
using the at least one semi-persistent resource for data transmission when the device is in the idle state,wherein when the device is determined to be in a static position with respect to a cell, and while the device is associated with an access point of the cell, the semi-persistent resource is used for the data transmission, andwherein when the device is determined to be moving in the cell, and while the device is associated with the access point of the cell, data is transmitted from the device in a message of a random access procedure.

Abstract
Various communication systems may benefit from power efficiency. For example, certain communication systems associated with the long term evolution (LTE) of the third generation partnership project (3GPP) may benefit from methods and devices for providing power efficient support of small packet transmission. A method can include determining whether a position of a device is static. The method can also include, when the position of the device is determined to be static, allocating at least one semi-persistent resource for a time when the device is in an idle state.

8. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to determine whether a position of a device is static; and when the position of the device is determined to be static with respect to a cell, and while the device is associated with the apparatus, allocate at least one semi-persistent resource for data transmission for a time when the device is in an idle state, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are further configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to, when the position of the device is determined to be moving in the cell, and while the device is associated with the apparatus, receive data from the device in a message of a random access procedure. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
