Abstract

One aspect of the present application provides a Category M apparatus that communicates over a communication network. The apparatus comprises a processor and an interface. The processor is configured to generate a message requesting registration of the apparatus with a core network, the message generated to include at least one header indicating a power saving mode capability of the apparatus. The processor is further configured to schedule sleep periods and wakeup times for the apparatus. The interface is configured to transmit the message to the core network. The interface is further configured to receive a response, from the core network, including one or more parameters and one or more timers established by the core network based at least in part on the power saving mode capability of the apparatus.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A Category M apparatus that communicates over a communication network, the apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to:
generate a message requesting registration of the apparatus with a core network, the message generated to include at least one header indicating:
a power saving mode capability of the apparatus, and
a particular power saving mode in which the apparatus is configured to operate, and

schedule sleep periods and wakeup times for the apparatus; and

an interface configured to:
transmit the message to the core network,
receive a response, from the core network, including one or more parameters and one or more timers proposed by the core network for negotiation based at least in part on the power saving mode capability of the apparatus, and
transmit an acknowledgment of the response accepting the one or more parameters and one or more timers to the core network prior to the apparatus entering the particular power saving mode,
wherein the at least one header is a session initiation protocol (SIP) header or an XML configuration access protocol (XCAP) header and includes a bit or field indicating the power saving mode capability of the apparatus.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one header further indicates that the apparatus is capable of operating in one or more of a power saving mode without network coordination, a Release 12 power saving mode without context retention, or a Release 12 power saving mode with context retention.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the message further comprises one or more timer values associated with the power saving mode capability of the apparatus, wherein the one or more timer values indicate a duration for which the apparatus enters the power saving mode.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the received response further includes at least one indicator of one or more activities coordinated, by the core network, based on the sleep periods and wakeup times.

5. A method of communicating over a communication network by a Category M apparatus, the method comprising:
generating a message requesting registration of the apparatus with a core network, the message generated to include at least one header indicating:
a power saving mode capability of the apparatus, and
a particular power saving mode in which the apparatus is configured to operate;

scheduling sleep periods and wakeup times for the apparatus;
transmitting the message to the core network;
receiving a response, from the core network, including one or more parameters and one or more timers proposed by the core network for negotiation based at least in part on the power saving mode capability of the apparatus, and
transmitting an acknowledgment of the response accepting the one or more parameters and one or more timers to the core network prior to the apparatus entering the particular power saving mode,
wherein the at least one header is a session initiation protocol (SIP) header or an XML configuration access protocol (XCAP) header and includes a bit or field indicating the power saving mode capability of the apparatus.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one header further indicates that the apparatus is capable of operating in one or more of a power saving mode without network coordination, a Release 12 power saving mode without context retention, or a Release 12 power saving mode with context retention.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the message further comprises one or more timer values associated with the power saving mode capability of the apparatus, wherein the one or more timer values indicate a duration for which the apparatus enters the power saving mode.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the received response further includes at least one indicator of one or more activities coordinated, by the core network, based on the sleep periods and wakeup times.

9. A Category M apparatus that communicates over a communication network, the apparatus comprising:
means for generating a message requesting registration of the apparatus with a core network, the message generated to include at least one header indicating:
a power saving mode capability of the apparatus, and
a particular power saving mode in which the apparatus is configured to operate;

means for scheduling sleep periods and wakeup times for the apparatus;
means for transmitting the message to the core network;
means for receiving a response, from the core network, including one or more parameters and one or more timers proposed by the core network for negotiation based at least in part on the power saving mode capability of the apparatus, and
wherein the means for transmitting further transmits an acknowledgment of the response accepting the one or more parameters and one or more timers to the core network prior to the apparatus entering the particular power saving mode,
wherein the at least one header is a session initiation protocol (SIP) header or an XML configuration access protocol (XCAP) header and includes a bit or field indicating the power saving mode capability of the apparatus.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the at least one header further indicates that the apparatus is capable of operating in one or more of a power saving mode without network coordination, a Release 12 power saving mode without context retention, or a Release 12 power saving mode with context retention.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the message further comprises one or more timer values associated with the power saving mode capability of the apparatus, wherein the one or more timer values indicate a duration for which the apparatus enters the power saving mode.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the received response further includes at least one indicator of one or more activities coordinated, by the core network, based on the sleep periods and wakeup times.

13. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium, comprising code executable to:
generate a message requesting registration of the apparatus with a core network, the message generated to include at least one header indicating:
a power saving mode capability of the apparatus, and
a particular power saving mode in which the apparatus is configured to operate;

schedule sleep periods and wakeup times for the apparatus;
transmit the message to the core network;
receive a response, from the core network, including one or more parameters and one or more timers proposed by the core network for negotiation based at least in part on the power saving mode capability of the apparatus, and
transmit an acknowledgment of the response accepting the one or more parameters and one or more timers to the core network prior to the apparatus entering the particular power saving mode,
wherein the at least one header is a session initiation protocol (SIP) header or an XML configuration access protocol (XCAP) header and includes a bit or field indicating the power saving mode capability of the apparatus.

14. The medium of claim 13 , wherein the at least one header further indicates that the apparatus is capable of operating in one or more of a power saving mode without network coordination, a Release 12 power saving mode without context retention, or a Release 12 power saving mode with context retention.

15. The medium of claim 13 , wherein the message further comprises one or more timer values associated with the power saving mode capability of the apparatus, wherein the one or more timer values indicate a duration for which the apparatus enters the power saving mode.

16. The medium of claim 13
