Abstract

This disclosure relates to implementing an adaptive sleep schedule for PDCCH decoding. In some embodiments, prior to receiving PDCCH signaling, a user equipment device may schedule wireless communication circuitry to prepare for and decode the PDCCH signaling, which may include dynamically preparing a first interrupt for the wireless communication circuitry to perform the preparing for and the decoding. In response to the first interrupt, the UE may prepare for and decode the PDCCH signaling using the wireless communication circuitry. The UE may analyze the result of the decoding, which may include determining that the PDCCH signaling does not comprise information for the UE. In response to determining that the PDCCH signaling does not comprise information for the UE, the UE may schedule the wireless communication circuitry to shut down, which may include dynamically preparing a second interrupt to shut down the wireless communication circuitry.
