Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wireless network (e.g., an LTE network) may be configured to monitor a communications interface to set an inactivity timer that, in turn, sets the operating mode of a communications interface. The operating mode may include a time-domain reception pattern of the wireless device. A wireless device may monitor a communications interface that includes at least a first logical channel and a second logical channel. Based on monitoring the communications interface, a first activity state for the first logical channel may be determined and a second activity state (e.g., an activity status) for the second logical channel may be determined. An inactivity timer used by the communications interface may be set to a first value or a second value based on the first and second activity states. The battery life of a wireless device may be preserved by setting an inactivity timer responsive to how the wireless device is used.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving a plurality of quality-of-service related parameters associated with a plurality of logical channels for communications between a wireless device and a network; determining an activity status for at least one of the plurality of logical channels, wherein the activity status indicates whether the at least one of the plurality of logical channels is actively involved in exchanging communications; and setting a value of a disc…
