MediaTek filed 1 patent this quarter in Networking (1).
The filing addresses power management for extended reality and cloud gaming applications on mobile devices using 5G connectivity. Specifically, the patent covers techniques to synchronize discontinuous reception wake cycles with AR/VR data transmission patterns, reducing battery consumption while maintaining the low latency required for these applications.
MediaTek's single Networking patent tackles a persistent challenge in mobile XR and cloud gaming: balancing power efficiency with responsiveness. The patent adapts the device's sleep and wake patterns to match the actual timing of incoming AR/VR data frames, rather than using the rigid, fixed-interval approach defined in current 3GPP standards. This adaptive system accounts for variations in when data arrives, including natural jitter in network delivery, and can switch between different configurations on the fly. By waking the radio only when XR traffic is actually expected to arrive, the approach aims to eliminate wasted power without introducing the stutter or lag that would ruin an immersive experience.
