Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to mechanisms designed to help improve dynamic sharing of one or more receive chains among different radio access technologies (RATs). For example, the mechanisms may be used with LTE and other RATs where Carrier Aggregation is used for simultaneous voice and LTE (SV-LTE) applications.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for improving the performance of a user equipment handover during a data call. In one aspect, a source base station determines to handover user equipment (UE) to a target base station. The source base station first determines whether the UE is in a data call prior to the handover. The source base station then modifies one or more of connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) and semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) parameters with the UE based on determining to handover the UE and determining that the UE is in the data call.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A device with multiple radios may establish a wireless local area network (WLAN) connection with a multi-radio gateway (i.e., a multiPHY gateway) and a wide area network (WAN) connection with a base station. The multi-radio device may receive a proxy capability indication from the multi-radio gateway and may transmit connection information relating to the second wireless connection. The multi-radio device may then establish a tunnel to the base station utilizing a proxy entity within the multi-radio gateway and close a physical (PHY) connection of the second wireless connection in order to save power. The multi-radio gateway may receive messages (e.g., paging, broadcast, or multicast messages) from the base station on behalf of the multi-radio device using the proxy entity, and tunnel the messages through to the multi-radio device using the WLAN wireless connection.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus is a UE. The UE transmits data packets. The UE determines to implement a flow control to reduce a transmission rate of the data packets. The UE determines whether the data packets include known or potential real-time data packets. The UE refrains from implementing the flow control to reduce the transmission rate of the known/potential real-time data packets when the data packets include known/potential real-time data packets.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for the user equipment (UE) to select a power management mode from a plurality of power management modes supported by the UE based on decoding of a portion of the downlink subframe. For example, when the UE receives a subframe from a base station, the UE may decode a control channel region of the subframe to determine whether the subframe includes a channel grant allocated to the UE. If no channel grant is included in the subframe, the UE may select a power management mode for the UE from the plurality of power management modes supported by the UE that maximizes the UE's sleep opportunities while balancing the deficient performance costs.
Abstract:
Managing of secondary carriers for a multicarrier user equipment (UE) is described in which the UE initiates or provides input for activation and deactivation of selected secondary cells in a carrier aggregation depending on allocation or provisioning of UE radio frequency resources.
Abstract:
Embodiments include systems and methods for managing tune-way in a multi-subscription communication device. A processor of a multi-subscription communication device may determine a first signal strength of a first cell signal and a second signal strength of a second cell signal. The processor may perform a tune-away procedure to a weaker of the first cell signal and the second cell signal. Embodiments may include determining signal strengths of each component carrier of the first cell signal and the second cell signal.
Abstract:
A throttling mechanism for downlink transmission control is disclosed, in which, in one aspect, a downlink low data-rate transmission may be received at a user equipment (UE). The UE may then measure a performance metric indicating performance of the downlink low data-rate transmission. The UE controls the downlink low data-rate transmission by dynamically adjusting the number of receiving antennas in use in response to comparison results of the performance metric and a threshold value.
Abstract:
Techniques for controlling internal operation of a user equipment (UE) based on physical layer (PHY) parameters of a wireless network are disclosed. The PHY parameters may include a system bandwidth, an uplink-downlink configuration, a number of antennas, a number of carriers, etc. In one design, the UE may receive system information from the wireless network. The UE may obtain at least one PHY parameter of the wireless network, at a physical layer on the UE, based on the system information and/or other signaling. The UE may provide the at least one physical layer parameter to at least one entity (e.g., a memory and flow controller, a clock controller, a thermal mitigator, an application processor, etc.) within the UE for use to control internal operation of the UE.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a stream of RTP data packets over a wireless channel and applies ROHC decompression to decode the packets. Upon a failure of ROHC decompression, the apparatus identifies the RTP sequence number (SN), RTP Timestamp (TS), and PDCP receive time (RT) of a prior successfully decoded packet, and the PDCP SN and PDCP RT of the failed packets. Using the identified information, the apparatus estimates the RTP SN and RTP TS of each of the failed packets. The apparatus decodes the packets using the estimated information.
