摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for improving discontinuous reception (DRX) periods using enhanced physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) decoding. A user equipment (UE) may determine that an uplink (UL) retransmission (ReTx) is unnecessary based on the content of the original UL transmission. For example, the transmission may include media access control (MAC) layer padding rather than relevant application layer data. The UE may then identify a DRX sleep period that includes the subframe where the ReTx would take place. In some cases, the DRX sleep period may include a subframe where the UE would otherwise receive an acknowledgement message (AM) from a base station. The UE may then enter a DRX sleep state. In another example, the DRX sleep period is based on the content of a received AM. If the UE receives an ACK, the UL ReTx may be unnecessary.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for managing power of a user equipment (UE). A UE modem may determine the state of charge of the battery to determine that the battery is in one of two or more charge state levels, and may invoke one or more modem power saving modes based on the charge state level. Power saving modes may include, for example, reducing a number of available receive chains in a UE, initiating a time delay between one or more frequency scan requests performed by the UE, reducing a rate of neighbor search requests performed by the UE, providing a buffer status report (BSR) parameter that indicates a reduced amount of buffer data relative to an actual amount of buffer data for the UE, and/or adjusting a maximum transmit power level for an uplink channel.
