Abstract: This disclosure relates to optimizing power consumption for cellular communication based on transport block size in combination with channel condition measurements via power amplifier biasing. According to one embodiment, an indication of a transport block size to be used for uplink communication with a base station may be received. It may be determined that the transport block size provides more robust communication characteristics than required for current channel conditions. A power amplifier (PA) bias current for uplink communication with the cellular base station may be selected based at least in part on determining that the transport block size provides more robust communication characteristics than required for the current channel conditions. In particular, PA bias current selection may be biased to reduce power consumption at a cost of greater non-linearity based on the transport block size providing more robust communication characteristics than required for the current channel conditions.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a wireless device such as a user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station using an advanced form of carrier aggregation. The UE may provide signaling to the network specifying a number P of downlink component carriers to be configured for use by the UE for downlink carrier aggregation and a number Q of uplink component carriers to be configured for use by the UE for uplink carrier aggregation. The UE can only utilize a lesser number M of downlink component carriers at any given time in downlink carrier aggregation and can only utilize a lesser number N of uplink component carriers at any given time in uplink carrier aggregation. Thus the UE may request the network to configure a greater number P and Q of downlink and uplink component carriers, respectively, than the UE can actually use at any instant of time.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for performing delayed hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) communications in the downlink (DL) to reduce power consumption for a user equipment (UE) during a connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) cycle. An enhanced NodeB can be configured to monitor a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for DL HARQ information to determine when the PUCCH contains a negative acknowledgement (NACK) message, and in response to determining that the PUCCH contains a NACK message, the eNodeB can wait until a next C-DRX ON duration to transmit a HARQ DL retransmission. The eNodeB can also determine whether or not to bundle the HARQ DL retransmission in consecutive transmission time intervals, based on a signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) associated with the UE.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for dynamically adjusting radio frequency circuitry in a wireless communication device are disclosed. The wireless communication device can receive downlink communication using carrier aggregation through a primary component carrier and a secondary component carrier. When carrier aggregation is not enabled, the wireless communication device adjusts the radio frequency circuitry based on default values. When carrier aggregation is enabled, the wireless communication device evaluates radio frequency conditions for the primary and secondary component carriers and adjusts the radio frequency circuitry based on whether uplink and/or downlink communication is power constrained. When uplink communication is power constrained, the wireless communication device adjusts the radio frequency circuitry for optimal performance via the primary component carrier, and when uplink communication is not power constrained, the wireless communication device adjusts the radio frequency circuitry for optimal performance via the combination of the primary and secondary component carriers used for carrier aggregation.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to aligning semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) uplink and downlink communications. In one embodiment, a cellular base station may select SPS parameters for a wireless device. The SPS parameters may include a subframe offset, a downlink SPS interval, and an uplink SPS interval. The subframe offset may indicate a subframe at which both an initial downlink subframe and an initial uplink subframe are scheduled. An indication of the SPS parameters may be transmitted to the UE. The wireless device and the cellular base station may perform uplink and downlink communication according to the SPS parameters.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for performing reduced hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) operations for a user equipment (UE) during a data communications session, e.g., for voice over LTE (VoLTE) communications. The UE can initially inform the network, via an enhanced NodeB (eNodeB), that the UE is capable of performing advanced HARQ functions. The eNodeB can further evaluate various network conditions to determine when reduced HARQ operations should be employed. When network conditions allow, the eNodeB can transmit an RRC message to the UE, including reduced HARQ timeline configuration information. Thereafter, the UE and the eNodeB can collaborate to institute the reduced HARQ timeline to schedule an application data retransmission during the data communications session. The reduced HARQ operations can be performed in conjunction with various semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) and connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) operations, to further conserve UE device resources.
