LTE Modem eDRx Paging Opportunity Management
Abstract:
Techniques for sharing resources between a radio access technology (RAT) modem (e.g., an LTE modem) and a processor-based radio (e.g., a software-defined radio) are described. In an example, operation of the RAT modem establishes an extended discontinuous reception mode (eDRX) cycle with a cellular system. The RAT modem sends eDRX scheduling information, that is based at least in part on the eDRX cycle, to the processor-based radio. Operation of the processor-based radio identifies paging opportunities (POs) of the eDRX cycle, based at least in part on the eDRX scheduling information. Operation of the processor-based radio manages usage of shared resources (e.g., transmit and receive amplifiers, digital signal processing elements, memory devices, elements of physical layer(s), and/or antenna(s), etc.). The managing may be based at least in part on the identified POs. The managing avoids conflicts between the RAT modem and the processor-based radio over the shared resources.
