Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for data transmission using header compression techniques that may include dropping all of a portion of a payload for one or more Protocol Data Units (PDUs). A wireless communications device may determine that a robust header compression (RoHC) mode is in an initialization and refresh (IR) state, indicating a full Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Protocol Data Unit (PDU), including complete header information, is to be transmitted. The wireless communications device may identify that a payload of at least part of a media frame is to be transmitted in the IR state, and drop at least part of the payload when a probability of segmenting the payload during transmission in the IR state exceeds a threshold.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for controlling downlink data transfer during carrier aggregation. For example, a method may control a secondary component carrier downlink (DL) in a wireless communication network using carrier aggregation. The method may include detecting, by a mobile entity, an event indicating a resource constraint at the mobile entity related to a data transmission from a base station to the mobile entity on a secondary component carrier of a carrier aggregation enabled connection. The method may include, in response to detecting the event, controlling the data transmission by signaling a status of the secondary component carrier DL to the base station.
Abstract:
A method for power optimization by an apparatus is disclosed. The method includes identifying one or more network parameters that affect one or more of a processing rate and a power usage of the processor in a connected state. The method also includes identifying a trigger event for the one or more network parameters. The method further includes adjusting a performance of the processor in the connected state when the trigger event occurs.

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:
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:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for improving discontinuous reception (DRX) power usage by dynamically updating (e.g., adjusting) a warmup period. A user equipment (UE) communicating with a wireless network may operate in DRX mode by periodically powering down radio components. For example, during a first DRX On Duration, the UE may estimate the variance in channel conditions. The UE may then update the baseband convergence portion of the warmup time prior to the upcoming DRX On Duration. The UE may reduce the baseband convergence period or increase the baseband convergence period based on a function of the channel variance. The UE may also maintain a table relating a set of channel variance values with a set of baseband convergence periods, and update the baseband convergence period based on the table.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for improving discontinuous reception (DRX) periods using enhanced physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) decoding. A user equipment (UE) may determine that an uplink (UL) retransmission (ReTx) is unnecessary based on the content of the original UL transmission. For example, the transmission may include media access control (MAC) layer padding rather than relevant application layer data. The UE may then identify a DRX sleep period that includes the subframe where the ReTx would take place. In some cases, the DRX sleep period may include a subframe where the UE would otherwise receive an acknowledgement message (AM) from a base station. The UE may then enter a DRX sleep state. In another example, the DRX sleep period is based on the content of a received AM. If the UE receives an ACK, the UL ReTx may be unnecessary.
