Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for concurrently performing handoff-related measurements for neighbor cells using multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna resources. In one example, a mobile device is in communication with a serving cell. Handoff-related measurements of first wireless signals from a first neighbor cell are performed. The first wireless signals are received at first MIMO antenna resources of a device. Handoff-related measurements of second wireless signals from a second neighbor cell are performed, as well. The second wireless signals are received at second MIMO antenna resources concurrently with the first wireless signals received at the first MIMO antenna resources. The first handoff-related measurements and the second handoff-related measurements may be performed during a scan interval. A type of handoff-related measurement to perform may be determined based on a determined length of the scan interval.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) determines an uplink timing advance of a target NodeB, such as an uplink dedicated physical channel (DPCH) transmit timing, during handover transition when the UE receives a handover command without a random access configuration. In one instance, the UE modifies a current timing advance of a source eNodeB based on a difference between an uplink timing of the source eNodeB and a downlink timing of the source eNodeB and a difference between an uplink timing of the target NodeB and a downlink timing of the target NodeB. In another instance, the UE determines the uplink timing advance of the target NodeB based on the modified current uplink timing advance of the source eNodeB.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication adjusts the transmit power for high speed data communications. A UE determines whether a random access channel is configured on an uplink traffic time slot. When the random access channel is configured on the uplink traffic time slot, the UE transmits a high speed data channel with adjusted transmit (TX) power based at least in part on transmit power used for a scheduling request.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes returning to a base station after a handover failure. The method also includes measuring a length of time between receiving a handover command and returning to the base station. The method further includes setting a physical uplink channel transmit power based on the measured length of time. The physical uplink channel can be an enhanced physical uplink channel (E-PUCH) of a high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) wireless network.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes determining whether a serving cell signal strength is below a first threshold. The method also includes determining whether an inter/intra frequency neighbor cell signal strength is below a second threshold. The method further includes determining whether a number of idle traffic time slots for inter-radio access technology IRAT measurements is less than a third threshold. Finally, a frequency of IRAT measurements in time slot zero (TS0), a downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS), an uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS), and a gap (GP) is increased. The increase is based on the determined serving cell signal strength, the determined inter/intra frequency neighbor cell signal strength, and the determined number of idle traffic time slots.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes returning to a base station after a handover failure. The method also includes receiving consecutive transmit power control (TPC) UP commands within a first predetermined time period. The method further includes receiving enhanced uplink dedicated channel uplink control channel (E-UCCH) instances within a second predetermined period. The method further includes increasing a TPC step size after receiving a first predetermined number of consecutive TPC UP commands during the first predetermined time period and after receiving a second predetermined number of E-UCCH instances during the second predetermined time period.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication receives a frequency list for fast return when in idle mode in a first radio access technology (RAT). The method updates the frequency list for fast return to the first RAT while in connected mode in the first RAT. The update is based on inter and intra frequency measurement control messages from each serving base station during mobility.
Abstract:
A UE may improve power performance by adjusting measurement reports based on uplink power. The UE factors in the uplink transmit power into the downlink radio signal strength measurement results that are reported to a network. When the UE is transmitting higher than normal uplink power, the UE can adjust the measurement results and report an artificially lower measurement result to the network, to account for the uplink transmit power. The UE may trigger a handover based at least in part on the adjusted measurement report.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) acquires a time of a first cell of a first RAT and receives instructions to handover from a source RAT to the first cell of a first target RAT. The handover is delayed based on the acquired timing and the UE communicates on the source RAT during the delay.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) dynamically adjusts a decoding time to accommodate a delay associated with decoding a high-speed shared control channel (HS-SCCH) to avoid wasting idle time slots that would otherwise be deemed busy time slots. The UE determines a dynamic protection line that extends beyond a last time slot of a subframe. The dynamic protection line is calculated based on an amount of time to complete the processing and decoding of a control information. This dynamic protection line provides a dynamically determined delay for decoding the HS-SCCH.
