Method and system for dynamic connected mode discontinuous reception
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a dynamic C-DRX provisioning service is provided. The service may disable or enable discontinuous reception on a per end device application or network slice basis. The service may invoke an end device capability procedure to modify a discontinuous reception configuration of a network. The service may store information that correlates an application or network slice to a discontinuous reception setting.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a device, a request for a network connection pertaining to an application;
determining, by the device, that a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration of the device is to be changed based on a correlated DRX setting of the request; and
performing, by the device, a refresh procedure that includes changing the DRX configuration to the correlated DRX setting.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
storing, by the device, information that includes the correlated DRX setting correlated to at least one of an application identifier of the application or a network slice identifier.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the determining further comprises:
comparing, by the device, at least a portion of the request to the information; and
determining, by the device, whether there is a match.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the refresh procedure comprises:
transmitting, by the device to a network, a capability update request.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the device receives the request, the device is DRX enabled.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the device includes a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card, an embedded SIM (eSIM), a Universal SIM (USIM), a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC), or an embedded UICC (eUICC).
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
establishing, by the device with a network after the refresh procedure, the network connection, wherein the device is DRX disabled.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the refresh procedure comprises:
transmitting, by the device to a network, a request that includes data indicating that DRX is not supported by the device.
9. A device comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive a request for a network connection pertaining to an application;
determine that a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration of the device is to be changed based on a correlated DRX setting of the request; and
perform a refresh procedure that includes changing the DRX configuration to the correlated DRX setting.
10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
store information that includes the correlated DRX setting correlated to at least one of an application identifier of the application or a network slice identifier.
11. The device of claim 10 , wherein when determining, the processor is further configured to:
compare at least a portion of the request to the information; and
determine whether there is a match.
12. The device of claim 9 , wherein during the refresh procedure, the processor is further configured to:
transmit to a network, a capability update request.
13. The device of claim 9 , wherein when the device receives the request, the device is DRX enabled.
14. The device of claim 9 , wherein the device includes a Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card, an embedded SIM (eSIM), a Universal SIM (USIM), a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC), or an embedded UICC (eUICC).
15. The device of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
establish with a network after the refresh procedure, the network connection, wherein the device is DRX disabled.
16. The device of claim 9 , wherein during the refresh procedure, the processor is further configured to:
transmit to a network a request that includes data indicating that DRX is not supported by the device.
17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a device, which when executed cause the processor to:
receive a request for a network connection pertaining to an application;
determine that a discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration of the device is to be changed based on a correlated DRX setting of the request; and
perform a refresh procedure that includes changing the DRX configuration to the correlated DRX setting.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions comprise further instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to:
store information that includes the correlated DRX setting correlated to at least one of an application identifier or a network slice identifier.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the instructions to determine comprise further instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to:
compare at least a portion of the request to the information; and
determine whether there is a match.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the instructions further comprise instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to:
establish with a network after the refresh procedure, the network connection, wherein the device is DRX disabled.
