Abstract

A method of wireless communication includes making a first determination, by a wireless device, that the wireless device is configured for a discontinuous reception operation in an idle state with a first cycle duration value that is above a threshold, and in an inactive state with a second cycle duration value equal to or below the threshold, making a second determination, based on the first determination, of a first paging frame value to be used inside a paging time window using a first formula, wherein the first formula is based on the second cycle duration; and performing a paging operation according to the first determination and/or the second determination.

Claims (20)

1 . A method of wireless communication, comprising:

making a first determination, by a wireless device, that the wireless device is configured for a discontinuous reception operation in an idle state with a first cycle duration value that is above a threshold, and in an inactive state with a second cycle duration value equal to or below the threshold;

making a second determination, based on the first determination, of a first paging frame value to be used inside a paging time window using a first formula, wherein the first formula is based on the second cycle duration, wherein the first formula defines the first paging frame value based on a minimum of (a) the second cycle duration, (b) a default discontinuous reception cycle duration in the wireless network, and (c) a device-specific discontinuous reception cycle duration, in case that the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration is preconfigured for the wireless device;

determining a paging occasion for use inside the paging time window according to a second formula, wherein the second formula is based on (a) in case that a device-specific discontinuous cycle duration is not preconfigured for the wireless device, a default discontinuous reception cycle duration in the wireless network, or (b) in case that the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration is preconfigured for the wireless device, a minimum of the default discontinuous reception cycle duration in the wireless network and the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration; and

performing a paging operation according to the first determination and/or the second determination.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

making a third determination, based on the first determination, of a second paging frame value to be used outside the paging time window using a third formula that is based on the second cycle duration value.

3 . The method of claim 2 , comprising:

making a fourth determination, based on a paging occasion for use outside the paging time window based on a fourth formula that is based on (a) in case that the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration is not preconfigured for the wireless device, the default discontinuous reception cycle duration in the wireless network, or (b) in case that the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration is preconfigured for the wireless device, a minimum of the default discontinuous reception cycle duration in the wireless network and the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first cycle duration value corresponds to an extended discontinuous reception cycle value for the idle state and wherein the second cycle duration value corresponds to an extended discontinuous reception cycle duration for the inactive state.

5 . A wireless device comprising at least one processor, the at least one processor configured to:

make a first determination that the wireless device is configured for a discontinuous reception operation in: an idle state with a first cycle duration value that is above a threshold, and in an inactive state with a second cycle duration value equal to or below the threshold;

make a second determination, based on the first determination, of a first paging frame value to be used inside a paging time window using a first formula, wherein the first formula is based on the second cycle duration, wherein the first formula defines the first paging frame value based on a minimum of (a) the second cycle duration, (b) a default discontinuous reception cycle duration in the wireless network, and (c) a device-specific discontinuous reception cycle duration, in case that the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration is preconfigured for the wireless device;

determine a paging occasion for use inside the paging time window according to a second formula, wherein the second formula is based on (a) in case that a device-specific discontinuous cycle duration is not preconfigured for the wireless device, a default discontinuous reception cycle duration in the wireless network, or (b) in case that the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration is preconfigured for the wireless device, a minimum of the default discontinuous reception cycle duration in the wireless network and the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration; and

perform a paging operation according to the first determination and/or the second determination.

6 . The wireless device of claim 5 , the at least one processor further configured to:

make a third determination, based on the first determination, of a second paging frame value to be used outside the paging time window using a third formula that is based on the second cycle duration value.

7 . The wireless device of claim 6 , the at least one processor further configured to:

making a fourth determination, based on a paging occasion for use outside the paging time window based on a fourth formula that is based on (a) in case that the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration is not preconfigured for the wireless device, the default discontinuous reception cycle duration in the wireless network, or (b) in case that the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration is preconfigured for the wireless device, a minimum of the default discontinuous reception cycle duration in the wireless network and the device-specific discontinuous cycle duration.

8 . The wireless device of claim 5 , wherein the first cycle duration value corresponds to an extended discontinuous reception cycle value for the idle state and wherein the second cycle duration value corresponds to an extended discontinuous reception cycle duration for the inactive state.
