Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a system are disclosed, which can reduce power consumption of an electronic device by allowing a communication relay device, to which the electronic device is connected, to perform an operation of the electronic device corresponding to waking up from a sleep mode according to a system timer cycle to identify paging and performing channel monitoring on behalf of the electronic device. A method of reducing power consumption of an electronic device may include: making a connection between the electronic device and a communication relay device; transmitting forwarding information to the communication relay device in response to the connection with the communication relay device by the electronic device; notifying of entry into a sleep mode to the communication relay device and entering the sleep mode by the electronic device; performing channel monitoring for the electronic device in response to the notification of the entry of the electronic device into the sleep mode by the communication relay device; waking up the electronic device when detecting paging corresponding to the electronic device by the communication relay device; and processing the paging in response to the waking-up of the communication relay device by the electronic device.

Abstract:
An electronic device including a communication circuitry, a processor, and a memory is provided. The processor of the electronic device receives a user equipment (UE) capability enquiry that includes information indicating the number of carrier aggregation (CA) combinations associated with a network from the network using the communication circuitry and determines UE capability information based on at least one of the number of default CA combinations of the electronic device, the number of CA combinations of a region associated with the network, the number of CA combinations of a country associated with the network, the number of CA combinations corresponding to a supported frequency band of a mobile network operator (MNO) associated with the network, and the number of CA combinations associated with the network.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus that can restrict use of an electronic device in a specific region is provided. The method includes detecting a triggering event initiating operation of an electronic device; obtaining, upon detection of the triggering event, identification information related to the electronic device; comparing the identification information with a preset list; and enforcing usage restriction of the electronic device when the identification information is present on the preset list.
