Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS); LTE; 5G; UICC power optimisation for Machine-Type Communication (MTC) (V15.0.0; 3GPP TR 31.970 version 15.0.0 Release 15)
The present document has the objective to describe the power consumption caused by UICC when it is idle and identify the potential solutions to allow the reduction or removal of the UICC power supply in order to save power when the UICC is not required for long periods of time. This document identifies conditions which might need to be applied to the UICC platform.
