Samsung patents 5G method to manage battery saving during connection
This patent describes a way for mobile devices to handle 5G or 6G connections when the network tries to save power. The phone checks if the resources needed to connect overlap with the network's energy-saving mode to ensure the connection works correctly.
In the filing’s own words
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to a network energy saving (NES) mode, receiving, from the base station, a message indicating a performing the NES mode after a random access (RA) is triggered, and identifying whether at least one resource related to the RA and the NES mode overlap based on the configuration information.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to a network energy saving (NES) mode; receiving, from the base station, an NES mode start message after a random access (RA) is triggered; and identifying whether at least one resource related to the RA and the NES mode overlap based on the configuration information.
