TO REDUCE POWER CONSUMPTION FOR ALL TYPES OF TERMINAL DEVICE

Abstract:

A method of operating a terminal device and a plurality of network access nodes, wherein the method comprises: establishing first wake-up signalling configuration information for a first network access node; establishing second wake-up signalling configuration information for a second network access node; and monitoring for signalling transmitted by the first network access node in accordance with the first wake-up signalling format and monitoring for signalling transmitted by the second network access node in accordance with the second wake-up signalling format, and seeking to decode a subsequent paging message in response to detecting wake-up signalling in accordance with either the first wake-up signalling format or the second wake-up signalling format.
