Abstract

A method for adjusting a discontinuous reception (DRX) related parameter, applied to user equipment (UE), includes: sending a low power saving request message to a base station when obtaining a power saving trigger; receiving a low power saving response message fed back by the base station; and adjusting the DRX related parameter in accordance with the low power saving response message.

Claims (63)

1. A method for adjusting a discontinuous reception (DRX) related parameter, applied to user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

determining whether a number of times that a low battery saving request has been sent reaches a count threshold when obtaining a power saving trigger;

when the number of the times that the low battery saving request has been sent does not reach the count threshold, sending the low battery saving request to a base station;

receiving a low battery saving response fed back by the base station; and

adjusting the DRX related parameter according to the low battery saving response.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein adjusting the DRX related parameter comprises:

adjusting the DRX related parameter to prolong a DRX cycle.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusted DRX related parameter is included in at least one of the low battery saving request or the low battery saving response.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DRX related parameter comprises at least one of:

a threshold of a UE-on counter;

a frequency of the UE-on counter; or

a DRX cycle parameter,

wherein the DRX cycle parameter comprises at least one of:

a long DRX cycle parameter in a connected state; or

a short DRX cycle parameter in a connected state.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending a power recovery request to the base station when obtaining a recovery trigger;

receiving a power recovery response fed back by the base station; and

adjusting the DRX related parameter to a normal value according to the power recovery response.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

after sending the low battery saving request to the base station, receiving a low battery saving rejection message fed back by the base station; and

aborting adjustment of the DRX related parameter according to the low battery saving rejection message.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

before sending the low battery saving request to the base station, determining whether a timer expires, the timer starting timing from a last time when the low battery saving request is sent or a time when a low battery saving rejection message is received,

wherein sending the low battery saving request to the base station comprises:

sending the low battery saving request to the base station when the timer expires.

8. A method for adjusting a discontinuous reception (DRX) related parameter, applied to a base station, the method comprising:

receiving a low battery saving request sent by user equipment (UE);

determining whether a number of times that the low battery saving request has been received exceeds a preset count threshold;

when the number of times that the low battery saving request has been received does not exceed the preset count threshold, feeding back a low battery saving response to the UE to instruct the UE to adjust the DRX related parameter; and

when the number of times that the low battery saving request has been received exceeds the preset count threshold, feeding back a low battery saving rejection message to the UE to stop the UE from adjusting the DRX related parameter.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein feeding back the low battery saving response to the UE to instruct the UE to adjust the DRX related parameter comprises:

feeding back the low battery saving response to the UE to instruct the UE to adjust the DRX related parameter to prolong a DRX cycle.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the adjusted DRX related parameter is included in at least one of the low battery saving request or the low battery saving response.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the DRX related parameter comprises at least one of:

a threshold of a UE-on counter;

a frequency of the UE-on counter; or

a DRX cycle parameter,

wherein the DRX cycle parameter comprises at least one of:

a long DRX cycle parameter in a connected state; or

a short DRX cycle parameter in a connected state.

12. User equipment (UE), comprising:

a processor; and

a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

determine whether a number of times that a low battery saving request has been sent reaches a count threshold when a power saving trigger is obtained;

when the number of the times that the low battery saving request has been sent does not reach the count threshold, send the low battery saving request to a base station;

receive a low battery saving response fed back by the base station; and

adjust a DRX related parameter according to the low battery saving response.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the processer is further configured to:

adjust the DRX related parameter to prolong a DRX cycle.

14. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the adjusted DRX related parameter is included in at least one of the low battery saving request or the low battery saving response.

15. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the DRX related parameter comprises at least one of:

a threshold of a UE-on counter;

a frequency of the UE-on counter; or

a DRX cycle parameter,

wherein the DRX cycle parameter comprises at least one of:

a long DRX cycle parameter in a connected state; or

a short DRX cycle parameter in a connected state.

16. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the processer is further configured to:

send a power recover request to the base station when a recovery trigger is obtained;

receive a power recovery response fed back by the base station; and

adjust the DRX related parameter to a normal value according to the power recovery response.
