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: This disclosure relates to application dependent channel condition assessment mode selection for reduced power consumption in cellular communications. In one embodiment, a channel condition assessment mode may be selected for assessing a wireless communication channel used for a cellular link. The channel condition assessment mode may be selected from at least two channel condition assessment modes, and may be selected at least in part based on application characteristics of an application using the cellular link. Channel condition assessment may be performed according to the selected channel condition assessment mode. Channel condition assessment results obtained from the channel condition assessment may be transmitted to a cellular base station via the cellular link.

Abstract: A wireless communication device architecture is provided. The wireless communication device can include a WLAN chipset, a cellular chipset, and an application processor. The application processor can include a first portion and a second portion. The first portion can include at least one root complex powered via a dedicated power domain, which can be independent of at least one second power domain that can power the second portion. The WLAN chipset can coupled to a first port of the at least one root complex via a first interface. The cellular chipset can be coupled to a second port of the at least one root complex via a second interface. The at least one root complex can use power received via the dedicated power domain to bridge the WLAN chipset and the cellular chipset while the second portion of the application processor is sleeping.

Abstract: A method for managing radio frequency (RF) chains in a carrier aggregation capable wireless communication device is provided. The method can include a wireless communication device using a first RF chain associated with a first component carrier and a second RF chain associated with a second component carrier to support a connection to a network. The method can further include the wireless communication device formatting a deactivation message configured to trigger deactivation of the second component carrier. The method can additionally include the wireless communication device sending the deactivation message to the network to trigger deactivation of the second component carrier. The method can also include the wireless communication device discontinuing usage of the second RF chain to support the connection to the network via the second component carrier after sending the deactivation message.
