Modifying idle mode drx on wireless devices
Systems and methods may provide for deactivating the Idle mode discontinuous reception (iDRX) for services that require latency that is less than the conventional paging channel values.
1 . A method comprising:
updating, by an end device, an idle mode discontinuous reception indicator to inactive on the end device responsive to a comparison of a message received by the end device from a communications network with the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator being activated on the end device; and
triggering a modem reset, by the end device, to force the end device to attach to the communications network with the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator inactive responsive to updating the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator as inactive.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is received in response to a recent powering on of the end device.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises instructions indicative of commanding the end device to update the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator to inactive on the end device.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is received after powering on the end device.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is from a network device, wherein the network device is a base station.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is generated by a network device, the network device comprising a mobility management entity.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the end device is an internet of things device.
8 . A system comprising:
one or more processor; and
a memory coupled with the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to effectuate operations comprising:
based on a comparison of a message received by an end device and an idle mode discontinuous reception indicator being activated on the end device, updating, by the end device, the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator to inactive; and
triggering a modem reset, by the end device, to force the end device to attach to a communications network with the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator updated to inactive responsive to updating the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator as inactive.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the message is received responsive to a recent powering on of the end device.
10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the message comprises instructions indicative of commanding the end device to update the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator to inactive on the end device.
11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the end device is an internet of things device.
12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the message is from a network device.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the network device comprises a mobility management entity.
14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the network device is a base station.
15 . A non-transitory, computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:
based on a comparison of a message received from a communications network by an end device and an idle mode discontinuous reception indicator being activated on the end device, updating the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator to inactive on the end device; and
in response to updating the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator to inactive on the end device, triggering a modem reset to force the end device to attach to the communications network the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator in a new inactive state.
16 . The non-transitory, computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the message is received responsive to a recent powering on of the end device.
17 . The non-transitory, computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the message comprises instructions indicative of commanding the end device to update the idle mode discontinuous reception indicator to inactive on the end device.
18 . The non-transitory, computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the message is from a network device.
19 . The non-transitory, computer readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the network device is a base station or a mobility management entity.
20 . The non-transitory, computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , wherein the end device is an internet of things device.
