METHOD FOR AN ENHANCED POWER CONSUMPTION MANAGEMENT OF A USER EQUIPMENT USING A MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK, WHEREIN DIFFERENT SETS OF RADIO RESOURCES ARE USED IN DEPENDENCY OF A POWER CONSUMPTION INFORMATION, MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK, PROGRAM COMPRISING A COMPUTER READABLE PROGRAM CODE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for an enhanced power consumption management of a user equipment using a mobile communication network and a radio access technology, the user equipment being provided with a priority information regarding the mobile communication network and/or the radio access technology, wherein - in case that the priority information, regarding the mobile communication network used by the user equipment and/or the radio access technology used by the user equipment, indicates a sufficiently low priority of the mobile communication network used by the user equipment and/or of the radio access technology used by the user equipment - a network selection procedure (for a higher prioritized mobile communication network) is performed by the user equipment after a predetermined time interval has elapsed, wherein the user equipment comprises an entity realizing the functionality of a subscriber identity module, wherein the entity realizing the functionality of a subscriber identity module comprises a time interval related information such that the predetermined time interval, to be applied by the user equipment to perform the network selection procedure, depends on the time interval related information stored in the entity realizing the functionality of a subscriber identity module, wherein the information content of the time interval related information corresponds to a predetermined number of positive integer values, wherein the dependency of the predetermined time interval, to be applied by the user equipment, on the information content of the time interval related information corresponds to one out of the following alternatives: -- according to a first alternative, the predetermined time interval corresponds to the information content of the time interval related information, multiplied by a constant scaling value, -- according to a second alternative, the predetermined time interval corresponds to the information content of the time interval related information, multiplied by an increasing scaling value such that the increasing scaling value increases as a function of the information content of the time interval related information, -- according to a third alternative, the predetermined time interval corresponds to the result of a mapping of the information content of the time interval related information, wherein the mapping information defining the mapping is stored in a memory portion within the user equipment.
