Abstract:
Embodiments for signaling quality of service (QoS) requirements and user equipment (UE) power preference in LTE-A networks are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a power preference indication (PPI) is received at an eNB from a UE to set a power saving preference for the UE. A communication session is established using radio resource control (RRC) messages between the UE and the eNB to identify a preference for QoS configuration for handling traffic provided to the UE by the eNB. The QoS for traffic provided by the eNB to the UE is managed by the eNB based on the identified preference for QoS configuration for handling traffic provided to the UE.
Abstract:
Embodiments of wireless communication devices and method for discontinuous reception (DRX) mode in wireless communication are generally described herein. Some of these embodiments describe a wireless communication device having a module to cause the wireless communication device to enter the DRX mode in an operational state of the wireless communication device. The DRX mode may include a DRX cycle having a DRX cycle length. The DRX cycle length may have a value greater than at least four values of DRX cycle lengths supported by an enhanced node-B.
Abstract:
Embodiments of user equipment (UE) and method for discontinuous reception (DRX) mode in wireless communication are generally described herein. In some of these embodiments, the UE may operate to determine a value for a DRX parameter based at least in part on information associated with an application running on the UE. The UE may send a message to an enhanced node-B (eNB). The message may include at least one of the value for the DRX parameter and the information associated with the application. The eNB may determine values for DRX parameters that the UE may use in DRX mode.
