Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Devices and methods are provided for reducing client node power consumption when monitoring first and second channels corresponding to first and second access nodes in a heterogeneous wireless-enabled communications environment. Enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination (eICIC) operations are performed to mitigate interference between a first access node and a second access node. The client node monitors first and second channels corresponding to the first and second access nodes. The client node receives restricted measurement data transmitted on the first channel, which is then processed to schedule cessation of monitoring the first channel to reduce power consumption and thereby conserve battery resources.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A client node, comprising: processing logic operable to monitor a plurality of subframes on a downlink channel and to process a control signal comprising a restricted measurement set data; wherein said processing logic is further operable to cease monitoring predetermined subframes of said plurality of subframes based on said restricted measurement set data, said client node is further provided with a scheduling option, and said scheduling option is signal…
