SEMI-CONNECTED OPERATIONS FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

"semi-connected operations for wireless communications" describes systems and methods that facilitate the reduction of battery consumption during periods of inactivity between bursts of traffic in wireless communication systems. a semi-connected mode is provided that quickly recognizes mobile devices when activated or accessed, while allowing mobile devices to operate in reduced energy states. a mobile device operates in a semi-connected mode with all base stations in an active set of the mobile device. in addition, mechanisms are provided to notify mobile devices about pending data, avoiding the latency associated with paging channels.
