USER EQUIPMENT (UE) GROUPING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK
Abstract:
A wireless communication network serves Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) User Equipment (UEs) and Mobile Wireless Access (MWA) UEs. Wireless access nodes receive signaling from the UEs and transfer the signaling to a network control-plane. The network control-plane determines network characteristics for the UEs responsive to the signaling. The control-plane generates MWA UE context for the UEs in a MWA UE group based on the network characteristics and generates FWA UE context for the UEs in the FWA UE group based on the network characteristics. The network control-plane transfers signaling to the wireless access nodes having the MWA UE context and the FWA UE context. The wireless access nodes serve the UEs in the MWA UE group by using Discontinuous Reception (DRX) responsive to the MWA UE context. The wireless access nodes serve the UEs in the FWA group without using the DRX responsive to the FWA UE context.
