Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for rejecting unreliable downlink (DL) transmit power control (TPC) commands in windup mode. In one aspect, the method includes receiving by a user equipment (UE) a plurality of DLTPC commands from a base station, analyzing on one or more transmitted uplink (UL) TPC commands, detecting a windup mode based on the one or more DLTPC and ULTPC commands, and rejecting one or more DLTPC down commands in the windup mode.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for processing data received at a user equipment comprises determining a protocol data unit (PDU)-specific Layer 1 decoding metric of a Layer 1 decoded PDU. The methods and apparatus further comprises determining whether to perform a Layer 2 decoding of the Layer 1 decoded PDU based on the PDU-specific Layer 1 decoding metric.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for rejecting unreliable downlink (DL) transmit power control (TPC) commands based on signal-to-interference-ratio estimates (SIRE). The method includes receiving by a user equipment (UE) a DL transmit power control (TPC) command from a base station; calculating a signal-to-interference ratio estimate (SIRE) for the DL channel; determining a scaling factor for a DLTPC rejection threshold based on the DL channel SIRE; adjusting the DLTPC rejection threshold based on the determined scaling factor; and rejecting or accepting the DLTPC command based on the adjusted DLTPC rejection threshold.
